ening. The exercises were very interesting.
as usual The debate was well conducted
The subject was dry one, but was handled
with considerable ability it was as follows

tire control of our common schools p" The

II. Black, VIM. Lyman and E. e. Phillips in
the affirmative, aud ]. Hayhurst, w. F. Herr
and Wilson Bray in the negative. The decis-
ion by the judges, who had been previously

Miss Mary Y. Leech, and contained some
most excellent thoughts and happy turns on
some of the most prominent of the members.

nounced that DR.. j. Hayhurst would enter
tain the society at its next meeting with a
sketch of the life and character of j. Bayard

pose of awarding the contract for keeping the
poor of this city for the ensuing year, but
thus far have failed to make a decision. The
bidders are the present keeper of the poor, j.
Prall Wilson. and Jacob s. Everett. Mr. Ev-

We should think that ought to decide the
question. We are not in favor of giving the
poor to the lowest bidder without any refer
ence to accommodations and treatment but
all who know Mr.. E. know him to be a kind
hearted man, las is also Mr.. WILSON,, and

bidder should not have them we cannot see
