Tho ROsrd Of Education Surplus


The regular meeting of the Board Of
Education will be held this evening,
when in all probability there will be a
lengthy and spirited discussion upon
the propriety OF passing pending reso-
luton to pay back to the City Council
$22, 900 which has ac umulated upon
their han Is. The majority branch of the
City Council demand the money, but in
making up their estimates of expenses
and revenuts for 1880 they made no
allowance for the amount claimed
which leads 10 the suspicion that it is
to be used to meet some existing de
fciency caused by the shortpess of the
appropriations for 1879. The point is
we'll :aken by those in the Board of
Education who are opposed to the re-
turn of the money, that it was raised
for school purposes, that the people
paid the money for that purpose spe-
eially, and that in law as well as in
equity it cannot b. applied to any
thing else than the payment of debts
incurred by tho Board of Education.
We are also very crrdibly informed
that when the + auc- Committee of
the Board was making out its estimates
for the pre- en- year tn Sc who now
" INT to return the mobey TO ths City
CDnncil, opposed dsdnctiDg it from he
sum required ($66,50t) nd Insisted
that the whole amount houl be asked
for, regardless Of the ba ance on hand
The proposition to deduct the $22, 600
on hand from the amount quirrd for
the present var should have been
adopted and then there wruld Lave
been that much les TO raise by taxa
ton.

Our people are waking up to the fac
that there are in this city too many
dogs and did away with a number yes

No case has been heard at the Mayors

The late fair in aid of st. Peters
church netted the snug sum of 81 ,12J
and yet it is said to be hard times.
The brothers paid their respects to
TIE sick brother and wife and after
prayer by Brother Wise of this Lodge,
dispersed with the heartfelt thanks of
the afflicted brother. Such charities as
this are commendable and show the
good that can be done by systematic
work Of brotherhood.
The members of Washington Lodge
No. 5, |. o. o. F., of this city, have in
their charge brother Odd Fellow be-
longing to Pennsylvania Lodge who
was reported to the Lodge as being in
very destitute circumstances. This re-
port determined the members to re-
lieve his wants, and accordingly on
Friday night last number of them met
at the store of Bro. G. F. Deakyne, each
bearing bundle or basket filled with
the necessaries of life, and forming in
line marched to the sick brothers. house
and when all the contributions were
piled on his table it was found that
enough was sent to keep him a month
