REMARKS.

change in the Office OF royal DOOk-keeper
in St. Cr0iX, in such a manner that the
post should be filled by an officer trained III
the mother country and acquainted IN all
particulars With the book keeping OF the
administration, Government has been
obliged to dismiss acting royal book
keeper Q. Krause from said Office from the
3Oth April a.c. But as Mr.. krauSe, now
aged ~, has been employed for about %
years in public service, it is considered
fair and Just, on his leaving the service
without having acquired legal right OF
pension, to assist him, by means OF a tenn
porary assistance. in going into some other
business. Hence and in accordance with
instruction from the Ministry of Finance
the present Draft is laid before the Council.
In regard to the tenor OF the draft, 1t IS
especially observed, that in consequence
Of s 6, 9 and Is of the Pension Law of
4th December 1868 being made applicable
to the case in question, the allowance will
cease if Mr.. KrauSe before the expiration of
the term should again obtain municipal
employment.
Agreeable to the Rules of Business the
discussions on the Draft were held within
closed doors.
The Ist discussion was closed; the Coun-
ell agreed unanimously with IL votes to
proceed at once to the2nd discussion on h
Draft Of Ordinance.
No amendments were proposed ,@nd the
Draft passed to 3rd discussion, which the
Council again unanimously adopted with
II votes Petersen had i'll the mean time
taken his seat should come on at once.

mentS.

mentthat themembers OfthOse Commissions

this might have escaped the memory of

A Boys Luck.

The Norristown pa Hreld in . recent
issue referred among others, to the following
cases OF special interest. They are their own
commentary. Mr. Samuel C. Nyce, resides at
Ss Marshall street, and holds the responsible
position Of Journal clerk in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, at Harrisburg. While Mr.. Nyce
and family were in the country recently, his
boy, aged three years. fell and broke his leg.
He recovered, but very troublesome stiffness
set in and he could scarcely use the leg. The
injured limb was rubbed several times with
st. Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness was so much
reduced that the boy was able to use his leg
freely. Dr. Knipe said it was the use Of St.
Jacobs OIL that cured the stiffness Mr.. Nyce
himself used the Great German Remedy for
toothsche with good effect, and also for .
sprain and pains of rheumatic nature, and al
ways with good effect Mrs. Nyce also says
she thinks the OIL is a splendid thing, and she
always keeps it on hand

An Elmira clergyman reports that
the war on mutilated coins has been a
good thing for the contribution-box. A
man who has tried in vain to pass . half
dollar with hole in it finally gives up
in despair and drops it into the Sunday
collection, TO which he was formerly in
the habit of contributing nothing, or at
most dime. Such coins the churches
sell as bullion, at an average reduction
OF about five per cent. of their face vel
ne, much to the advantage of forsign
missionaries and poor people at home.

company him to the City Hall, where the freedom
