A communication from his honor.
Acting MAYOR Collins. was presented TO
the Common Council at its last meeting
and vas published in the report of the
proceedings of the Council. and again
in the Herald of the 18th inst, which il
calculated TO mislead the public and
cast reflections on the committee known
as the Jail Committee.
In Justice to ourselves we desire to
state that we knew of the lien of the
Commercial Company of the sum stat
ed. &1074.94, and that when the war
rants were drawn they would be placed
in the hands of parties other than the
contractor as the money has all been
placed heretofore, the contractor never
having received a warrant, or any mon
ey. on the contract except from the
hands of third party in whose hands
il had been placed. No warrant had
been drawn for the balance due on the
building. nor has there been one drawn
az vet: although the contractor asked
for it tho Clerk refused to draw it, as no
ordnance had passed the Council au-
thorizinQ such warrant. The contract
or then won't away, and shortly after
ward his honor, the acting Mayor, went
to the Clerk and asked him to draw the
warrant for the.contractor, saying that
Judge Lewis had told him that the Or
dinance making the original appropria-
ton for the Jail building gave him au-
thority in the matter, when the Clerk
again refused until be had seen the act
ing City Attorney, Judge Burke, who
Upheld him in his refusal. So the COM
mittee think that his honor, the acting
Mayor, was little hasty in trying to
make point before he had an oppor-
tunity. Respectfully yours,

THE OPINION OF A VERY SUCCESSFUL
TEAClIER.-MissI Henrietta e. Thomas,
of Ridgeway, writes us privately upon
the subject of the use Of the "rod in
the school-room." We hope we will
be excused for publishing the follow
ing extract, She says: "I do entirely
agree with the writer on that subject.
II mag be occasionally necessary, but
cannot rtmember more than two in
stances in my long experience, and
even~then think it fnght have been
avoided by more judicious manage
ment." Miss Thomas has taught

ant a subject will not be lightly re-
