1t now appears that the order appropliaiiug So
800 for new school house did not legally pass
both branches of the city government a week ago
Monday, ). va. generally understood. The coun-
Gil passedit upon its first reading, and sent it to
the board Of aldermen Immediately, instead of, as
usual, suspending the rule and giving it a second
reading. Before the Aldermen had acted
on the Order the council adjourned on a motion of
the opposition. In the board of aldermen she
order then received passage by the casting vote
of the Mayor. Since that evening rule IN the
Ordinances has been looFed up, forbidding the
appropriation of money for any purpose after the
passage Of the annual order of appropriation I'M
less by creating debt therefor. Those who
wanted a scnool-house did not want to create a
debt, and last Monday evening the Board of Al
dermen rec0nsisered their previous vote. Thus
endeth the school house fight. Quietness and
peace succeeds discussion and agitation IN the
city of Garduer, and the boys can still white
away at the benches and clapboaIds of the old

A Noble Charity.

Noble Charity.
Mr. EDIToR--The notice in your columns Of
the entertainment to be given on the.l2th inst in
aid of the ''Old Ladies' Home, affords fit occasion
for inviting public regard to a charity which has
as vet received scant evidence of general APPROX
al. This is probably due to the fact that the
Home is under the control of board appointed
by the vestry of St. Marks church; and it may
have been inferred that it is managed exclusively
in its interests. If such was the fact the proprety
of appealing for aid to those not sympathizng
with it might be questioned. But it needs only a
brief history of its establishment and conduct thus
far, 10 correct such mistake.
About six years since, the house now occupied
as home was purchased and fitted up by mem
Der of the parish of ST. Marks noted for the be-
nevolent use of his wealth, at cost of more than
5000. As it was hoped that it would be the
meaus Of doing good long after he and his friends
that il should be placed in the charge of body
cerpoi ate. with suitable powers and privileges
and subject to such obligations as would ensure
its permanence as well as its wise management
With this object in view, he proposed to convey to
the vestry of St. Marx s. in trust, the whole prop
erty, upOn the conditions that it shou Id be for
ever used as a Home for aged and indgent
women and for no other purpose. The vestry
knowing the responsibility it assumed, but I'M
willing that so promising Il means OF good should
be lost, conse nted to receive it upon those terms
Since then it has, as Is believed been managed
wisely, kindly and efficiently, by board Of man
ayers composed of ladies in whom the public has
the fullest confidence
In regard to admission TO the Home, the ques-
ton of creed has never been considered. AS a
matter of fact much the largest proportion Of its
inmates have had no knowledge OF, or sympathy
with the Episcopal church.
As this charity has endowment fund, it must
rely in considerable measure upon the amount
received for board from its residents or their
friends. The price charged. generally two dollars
per week, is much less than the cost and rot one
.k E.. l.
procured elsewhere. In this connection il should
be stated that the interest manifested in the
..Home" by the founder, Allen Lambard, Esq,
aud the large contributions annually made by him
20 its funds, have very materially lcssened the
labors and anxeties of the managers, and added
much to the comforts they were enabled to supply
to those for whose good they chiefly concerned.
The managers have always welcomed visitors,

The Porgy OIL Business.

The porgy oil business of Bristol and Bremen,
for the year 1876 comprises an interesting item il
the products of our state. There are some ten
factories as follows (all but three being in Bris-
tol: Joseph Church & Co., l.. Brightman *
Sons, Bremen Oil Works. George w. Miles &
Co., Wells & Co., Fowler, Foote & Co., South
Bristol Oil Works, Bristol Oil Works, Round
Pond Oil Works, Loud's Island Oil Works.
There were used last year SIS, 900 bbls. of fish,
which produced ,6lS,0 gallons of oil, and l6,
600 tons Of chum or scrap, yielding
Ia round numbers for oil, S36G,3O0
- =" scrap, 10000
Total $72G 300
The oil sold to average 81 cents per gallon, the
scrap 500 per ton.
The fish when caught by men not belonging to
the companies were sold to the operators up to
the first of August for 40 cents per bbl.; August
lst TO Sept Goth for 60 cents per bb and for bal
ance of season at so cents. These prices compar-
ing with the quantity of oil yield to the Dbl. the
later 10 the ason the iatter the fish.
The scrap is the broken fish after being cooked
and the oil removed under heavy pressure. 1t is
anxiously sought after by the various guano max
ers of this country. and recently large quantities
nave been shipped to Europe, When mixed with
other ingredients, it makes a valuable fertilizer.
When used alone upon the land, there is a ques-
ton as to its utility many claiming that it only
serves to "stsrt the CROP" and thea for lack of
phosphorus, it becomes like an overgrown child,
whose bones arc not able to bear up its heshy
weight.
The business done by the various companies
was in the order we have named them, Church x
Co. having used 2l0,000 bbls. of fish, and produc-
cd 60 600 gals. of oil, amounting to 1927 900, and
$500 tons of scrap, amounting to $500. Total
for this one factory 100000.
l.. Brightman & Sons did the next largest bust
ness, being about one-third as much as Church x
Co.
The business is reduced to a perfect SYSTEM
nearly everything, even to the catching of the fish
being done by steam. The wear and tear of ma
teral and machinery is great, and consequently it
requires the most careful management TO bring
success out Of the operation. Several have made
money, others have nearly held their own. while
some have failed, in the past and lost what they
ventured.
