The reading cf the minutes of (be regular March meeting was dispensed with.

In select oeunoll it was laid ever, whl :h ki li It. The salary ei a city officer cannot be in creased during the term for which he is elected or appointed, nnd as the eblef en. gtneoref the Are department will be ap pointed en April 2 J, and as there will be no meeting of council between new and then te consider the ordinance, the salary for tbe next four years will be tbe earne as new, (50 per month. The question was new rntied wbether this was a special meeting or au adjourned meeting. Mr. Brlnten said his motion was te ad journ te meet tbW evening and there was nothing In bis motion as te a meeting for a special purpose. The elerk's minutes read that councils adjourned te meet this evening te consider the ordinance fixing the salary of the engi neer of the fire department. Mr. Everts said the members had received notice te meet this evening for a special purpose and he did net thluk acy ether business could be dene. The recollection of a number of members of councils was that Mr. Bilnten's reselu tien was te adjourn te conslder the engi neer's salary ordinance.

Mr. Everts quest'enel the legality of the resolution because It contracted a debt for which no appropriation had been made. Mr. Eb9rmau argued that money had been appropriated for the contingent fund and the taking front it et M 000 for tbls special purpese did net require an ordi nance. Mr. Eiby called the attention of council te the statement made at the last meeting by the chairman of the tire committee that there was a combination between tbe manufac turer of tire engines te keep up prices and that no better prices could be obtain than offered then. Since then however, upon bids being asked for, tbe Clapp it Jenes offer an engine for ?3D0 less money, lie favored a further postponement se that bidders would have time te hand in pre pesals, as be understood the Amoskeag company complained of the snort notiee. Mr. Brlnten said ha bad received a letter from tbe Amoskeag company a week age, and in that letter Information was asked as te tne kind of engine the city wanted, and from tbe date of the letter this company hid plenty of time te put in au intelligent bid Mr. Nell said that when he stated In oeunolls that the bids banded in were tbe lowest prices at wble) au engine could be teugbt, be stated what tbe manufacturers agents' bad told him. He could net belpjlt II tht combination formed had been broken. Mr. Frantr said lh asking et bids had accomplished what he bad expected, the procuring et an engine at lower rates than originally offered, and he was new pre pared te vote te award the contract.

Mr. Fralley defended the action of the committee for reduetng, water rents, be cause parlies were improperly charged. Mr. Baumgardner said that while he be lieved tbe water renta in some instances were tee high the water committee ex ceeded thelr authority when they arrogated te themselves the power te fix water rente, because the same wero fixed by an ordi nance et councils, Mr. Leng was opposed te censuring et any councils committee for their aeta. He did net think It Judloleup. if the commit tee is derelict In its duty the same power that appointed it can remeve it.

Tbe Great English Acier and Actress at the V. a. Military Academy. Extract from a l'rl vale Letter. Wkst 1'eint, Maren 20. Last night we allenjoyed a perfect treat at tbe "Mer chant of Venice. " The quartermaster hud built a rough stage at ene end of the mess hall nnd Irving' men had draped it with rich hangings. The back and tides et the stage were hung with portieres and rugs and tbe entrances and exits were msde between them. Tbe seene was an nouneed as It was In Shakespeare's time by a legend hanging from above. Irving had his calcium light, his full oempany and costumes, and tbe scenery waa absolutely net missed. Even in tbe trial scene, where you could see that seen ery would have come In with great effect, tbe picture was magnificent The cos tumes were psrlee, but the most perfect thing was the acting et Irving and Terry. It was net acting-. Irving was Shyloek, and never could have been anything else and Terry simply llved her part She Is net beautiful, but she has a grace and a manner and ease wbleh makes her beautiful and she has a laugh that Is contagious. The cadets occupied the front seats and were very appreciative, at the end they called Mr. Irving out and he msde tome very neat speeches. In conclusion he said, 11 And te stand here te night Is flittering te my British pridr. I thluk indeed that the bells must be ringing for Jey lu Londen te-night. Fer this is tbe first time that the British have ever captured West Point." This brought down the house; three hun dred cadit laps went sailing up te the celling like a fleck of crews and three routing cheers told tbe actor that he had struck home. It was qulte b generous thing for Irving te de, and, as Charlie sajs, if it is an ad vertlslng dedge It would be well if It were mero olten reserted tc.
