The election was very quiet last
Monday, and Of minor interest to

ticket, from governor to constable,
including both, received handsome
majorities, and all propositions
voted on carried by an affirmative
endorsement and decisivemaiority
"For Amendment" "For Road
Tax" and "For License" were the
propositions. Quite little inter.
est was created in the latter ones
tion by the agitation set on foot by
the Anti-Saloon Leagne, resulting
in an increased majority for sa,

fair, and the hallots-every one

REFUSED TO SIGN THE BILLS Not
withstanding the Mayors statement
that appropriations for street work
were exhausted last Friday and that
he, the Mayor, would not sign bills
which are contracted previous to coun-
ci manic action authorizing them, the
Committee on streets presented pay
rolls to the Auditor this morning for
work done after the appropriations had
run out and before February 1st, the
date upon which the appropriation of
$500 made by Council at its last called
meeting went into effect. The Auditor
declined to issue warrant for the
amount unless directed to do 80 by the
finance committee and Mayor, having
been previously cautioned by the f.
nance committee to draw no warrant
for work done before the appropriation
went into effect February /. The
Mayor refuses TO endorse the action of
the street committee or to sign the pay
roll, holding that should he do so he
would sanction the act OF the commit
tee, for which, he Gays, there is not d
shadow of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. he thinks

from working men on the streets, when,

ed to be made. At last accounts the
men who had worked on the streets
had not obtained their money.

ST.. MARY's ACADEMY.-Thes semi
annual examination Ia studies was held
at st. Mary's Academy during the past
week, presided over by Rev. Father
Cutler. The number of students in the
different departments is gratifying and
still more is the spirit of study which
animates the pupils, With few excer-
tons the students gave evidence OF
earnest and continued effort towards
progress IN every branch of study;
whilst the reverend pas or, as examin'
or and encourager, commended them
upon their industry and application
during the session just closed. Musical
examinations will be held the latter
part of .he present month, when the
individual progress Of each student in this
branch will be manifest.
A new division has been added to the adj
vantsges of the academy this year viz: a
class of little boys. The examination in this
department was particul ,rly interesting, as it
shovel that the manly little fellows by their
ready, intel igent answers. had also been up
and doing, nor did they mean II be left be.
hind in the race.
1t may not be generally known that pupils
are received in this institution irrespective OF
creed and special care lie taken that no infu-
ence whatever be exercised over the religious
belief of any pupil.
