How Some Sharpsrs at Bridgeport
 Played it on Well Known Grocer.
 Early yesterday morning W. G. Stevenson was in his grocery store on Water street. Bridgeport, when a well dressed man entered and said he was in agony and wanted to go to the rear of the store outside. Mir. Ste venson permitted him to do so. A moment later another man, pretending to be in 8 suf fering condition, entered and asked similar favor. This second man soon returned and began to tell MT. s. of man he had met outside who seemed to be in a fit, and would die unless assistance was given him. The colic-stricken individual was assisted by Mir. S. back into the store, and was dosed with Browns Jamaica to no effect. Meanwhile three men had entered the store and had ta- ken $50 from 8 desk near the door. The men left together before MT. Stevenson dis covered his loss, one saying to the sick man, ''The best thing you can do is to walk right over to the boat, go aboard, sit down by warm fire and remain there"
 After the thieves had gone, MT. Stevenson saw what had happened. He also found 6 wallet that he had left near the desk that had been robbed. The wallet contained 8 good sum O money in bills. Mir. Stevenson con- siders the theft one of the most clever he ever heard of, and he does not regret the loss of the money so much as his inability to learn where the thieves went.

The Aim and Objects of the Young Women's Christian AssOcIatfOn-An

The Aim and Objects of the Young Women's Christian AssOcIatfOn-An Interesting Report.
 The undersigned, having been asked to visit the Home of the Young Women's Christian association, and to examine into the work and purposes of that society, would unite in the following report;
 The object of this society is to furnish g Home to which girls can come who, without some timely Christian help and protection, would be cast upon the cruel mercies of 8 city while they are seeking employment or endsavoring to earn enough to care properly for themselves This Home is to be kept al- ways open for girls who for any cause, while they are seeking for the means of an honest self-support, may need the help of Christian women. It has been made nearly self sustaining at prices within the means of those who have found lodgings therein. No case which should properly be cared for iu such g Home is ever turned away.
 Another important aim of this society is to furnish to working-girls instruction for the practical uses of life. Several classes as well as reading room and library for girls are included in this department.
 The Home is designed to be center from which in many ways the love and devotion of Christian women may minister to the help of the young working girls who are gathered by our factories and shops in this city. The work which they aim to accomplish can be thoroughly and satisfactorily done only by some organization expressly for this purpose The Home has been purchased at cost of S2O, GOO, one half of which has been paid The need and the use of building suitable for this purpose will not be questioned by anyone who is familiar with the work car ried on under it's roof A smaller building would not meet the demands of the work which the society has undertaken to carry through. The interest upon their pres ent indebtedness is not SO large as the rental which they were obliged to pay for their former rooms adapted to their purposes. It would relieve the society from further em barrassment if this indebtedness could be met by subscriptions from the benevolent; and were this burden at once removed the association could enter upon larger and more aggressive work.
 The management of the society is faithful, economical and careful We would com mend this work as one having special claims upon our sympathy and support. It de- serves the place which it has won in the de- votion of many Christian women. and it de serves, also, the confidence and support of all good men. NEWMAN SMYTH,

 The Board of Education held 8 meeting last evening, Messrs Welch, presiding, Superintendent Dutton, Zunder, Harrison, Peck, O'Brien, Strong, Parmalee, Pond and Secretary Day being present.
 MT. Zunder said that the Committes on Schools recommended the appointment of Lizzie M. Andrew, who has been at the train ing school, to the Goffe street school at a salary of $35O year. The recommendation was adopted.
 The Committee on Finance reported that there were enough funds on hand for cur rent expenses of the month.
 Superintendent Dutton read report of the progress made in the schools during the past four months. The report is printed elsewhere in full
 Mr Welch called the attention of the Board to the error in Dr. Lindsley's health report for the year in so far as the health of the children in the schools was touched upon. The report says that 25 per cent. of the chil- dren had been absent from sickness. Ac- cording to the last report of the Board of Education the percentage of attendance for 1882 and 1883 was .938. The absentees were therefore .062 per cent. and only about half of this was for sicknes3
