REPORT OF TUE COMMITTEE ON CITY
PRINTING.
Mr. Warner, Chairman of the Commit
tee on City Printing, presented a report,
embodying the substance of a coinamni
cation from the proprietors of the
patch, setting forth that the price paid for
the City Printing last year did not pay
for putting the matter in type.
The Committee therefore offered the
following resolution:
olved, That the Controller be and he
is Res
hereby instructed to increase 'the con
tract rates with the city printers for city
printing to the following rates:
-
Oth
For ail ordinances PUO per year.
er adtertising seventy-idve cents per
square for the first insertion find half
price for subsequent insertions.
On motion tho report was received and
a motion made for the adoption of tho
resolution.
Mr. Tate could not vote for any increase
in the price paid for printing.
Mr. INicNeill- thought the prices for
printing should be the same as last year,
and if the papers elected to do the city
printing did not agree to the same terms
as those of last year he was in favor of
advertising for proposiasfor printing and
letting the contract out to the lowest and
beat bidders.
Mr. Warner explained the action
af-
of
the Committee, by stating that they,
ter a consideration of the subject, had
concluded that it was but just that a
slight advance, should be made iu the
rates,_ and had reported accordingly, in
order that the City Printers might h
ation ave
something like a proper remuner
for their labor. The torrimittee.zhouirht
it better to take this action than to throw
she matter open to contract, as it might
then be taken up by an inferior paper
with a small circulation, thus defeating
the object of printing.
Mr. Megraw was of the opinion that
the printing should be done at the same
rated sin previous years. Otherwise,
he wa s in favor of advertising for pro
posals and .giving the contract to the low
est bidder, whether the paper doing the
work had a large or smalil circulation.
Mr. Hastings offered the following as
a substitute for the resolution ped
the Ountuitte.e., , ,
Resolved, That if the papers authorized
to do, the city printing refuse to do the
same at existing rates, the Controller be
and be %hereby authorized to advertise
for proposals therefor. and that beta con
iunction with the Committee On City
Printing be authorized to award the
contract to the lowest and best ladders.
The supstitute Was adopted.

Yesterday morning, between one and

pave, went into a saloon on Liberty
street, near Canal, to get- something to
eat. In a few moments afterwards
Henry Ward came in, and seeing the 'girl
there, without any protocation whatev
er, picked up a heavy pestle, knock
ed her down and kicked. her several
times. The girl's cries attracted the pa ,
lice to the place, but the saloon keeper
hadlocked the door and refused to let
them in. The officers, without further
parleying, broke the door open and ar
rested both Ward and the saloon keeper,
and conveyed them along with the girl
to the watch house.
Arriving at the lok.up. it was ascer
tained that the girl was seriously lobar
ed, and Dr. Murdock was sent for and at.
•tended to her injuries.
The Mayor imposed a fine of twenty
dye dollars and costs on the saloon keep
er, which he paid and was discbarged.
Ward was also lined twenty
dollars,
in default of which he was committed.

the Second U. P. Church, (Rev. Dr. J. B.
Clark, pastor,) Allegheny, on Tuesday
evening, the 16th instant, at a quarter
past four o'clock. The meeting was
quite large, and promises to be as inter
esting as the one held in the U. P. Church,
Sixth Avenue, last year.
Rev. W. J. Reid conducted the devo
tional exercises. Prayers for the out
pouring of the Holy Spirit on the niem:
bors of the Institute were offered by
Revs. V. S. Owens, A. G. Wallace, M.
Clark, James Wilson and others.
On motion of T. H. Rabe, Esq., the

adopted for the government of the Dasti-
tuts.

tlemen a Committee to nominate perma
nent officers of the Institute: T. H.Rabe,
Esq., and .1. A. Macrum.
Rev. John G. Brown, D.D., delivered
an address of welcome to the members
of the assembly.
The nominating Committee then made
their report. The gentlemen whose
names appeared on the programme as
"conductors" would preside at the differ
ent 'sessions. The following were nomi
nated as Vice Presidents: Revs. R. Gra
cey, D.D., J. S. Hawk, Jno:W. Sproull,
A. H. Calvert, A. D. Clark, Hugh Mo-
Master, Esq., and John Dean, Esq.
These gentlemen to occupy the Visa-
President's chair in the order by their

and Rev. W. S. Owens.
n address on "the relation of the Sab
bath School to the Church," by Rev. C.
A. Hickey, was the next thing in order.
As M aw ed was absent,
John' subject
was p ov e r, and Rev. n McMil
lan addressed the Institute on "the rela
tibn of parents to the Sabbath School."
Malor William Frew moved that the
venerable Dr. John T. Pressly be invited
to address the meeting on the subject
assigned to Mr. Dickey, or any other he
may choose.
Dr. Pressiy then delivered an address
In his usual clear and concise style. He
said the Salabath School was the child of
the Church and should be entirely under
her control. All teachers engaged in
communicating instruction to children in
the Sabbath School should be members
of the Church. They should be acquaint
ed with the truth and give evidence of
their conversion to Christ. The officers
of the Church should - know who they
are that teach, and what they teach, and
have a general control and superinten
dence of the Sabbath School.
The above topics were then thrown
open for dissuasion. Rev. A. G. Wallace
did not see that parents had any greater
interest or more special relation to the
Sabbath School than others.
Dr. Brown thought they might as well
talk of the relation of the prayer meet
ing, or missions to the church. as talk et
the relation of the sabbath school to the
church. The sabbath school is apart and
parcel of tho church.
Rev: Mr. Linn did not believe that the
sabbath school was a part of the church.
for there were unconverted persons in it.
Rev. Mr. Reid thought the elders
should take care of the child. But .he
was bound to say some of the elders were
the "driest of nurses."l ,
Dr. Gracey was pained to see that eld
ers took so little interest in the work:as
signed thera. They Were tofeed the
Church of God which he has purchased
with his own blood.
The exercises of the session were con
cluded by singing a Doxology and pro
nouncing the Benediction. ,
