REPORTS OF LOCAL BOARDS.
Reports from the various Local Boards
exhibited the schools in a flourishing
condition. In most of them there was an
increase in the average attendance dur
ing the month. Good order and atten
tion to their- duties generally prevailed
on the part of the sonolars. •
Mr. Eaton, from the Committee on
Colored Schools, presented a report,
which exhibited a very encouraging con-`
dition of these schools.
Mr. Francis, Secretary of the Board,
read a monthly report, embodying a
statement of the attendance in the schools
during the month, from which it ap
peared that the - average attendance was
as fellows; First ward, _634; Second
ward, 1,084; Third ward, , 1,169; Fourth
ward, First precinct, 428; Second pre
cinct, 513; Fifth ward, 375; Sixth ward,
608; Eighth ward, 154; Colored Schools,
137; total, 5,102.
.Mr. Lea:from the Cdmmittee appoint
ed to consider the expediency of eatab
' fishing a High School in the city, stated
that at the last meeting of the Committee
there were just enough members present
, to conatitute a quorum, and no action
was taken in the matter.
( Mr. • Mont, from Committee ap
'pointed to take into the
consideration the
matter of the Seventh ward independent
school district, reported progress, and
thought they would be able to report
finally at next meeting.
Mr. Trimble presented a petition from
two tax-payers in the Sixth ward, asking
to be exonerated from the payment of
the school tax assessed upon them.
On motion, the exoneration was al
lowed.
Mr. King presented the following :
WIERREAS, To a Committee consisting of
one frOin each ward in the city has been
referred the duty of investigating the
matter, and reporting at some future
time to this Board, with regard to the
propriety or need of establishing a High
School and electing a City Superintend
ent; and whereas, said,Committee, by an
unanimous vote of this Board, hitherto
given, is to name the candidate for the
position should one be chosen fix his
salary, and define his duties, and as the
whole subject is yet in an immature,
state and not decided upon, and believ
ing that especially in such cases as' this,
the position should look for the man:and
not the man for the po.altion, theiefore,
Resolved, That the members of this
Board refuse as yet to entertain applica
`dons or pledge theanseivesto supixat any
one *lib may ask for the position.
Mr. King moved the adoption of the
resolution.
Mr. Lea asked `if the passage of the
resolution would transfer the matter
from the hands of the Committee back
to the Board?
Mr. King said such was not the intent
of the resolution. It was merely inten
ded to act as a check to any persons
seekingsition , the po by button -holing
the member either of the C'ommittee or
Board.
Some further discussion followed, after
whicib a vote was taken on Mr. King's
motion to adopt the resolution, which re
sulted in a tie, the President voting in
the affirmative.
So the resolution was decided by the
chair as lost.
The Secretary read a commanication
from the Sixth Ward Local Board. stating
that Isaac Stewart had resigned the po
sition of tax collector for the ward and
that R. Dilworth had been elected to fill
the position.
On motion, the action of the Board
was confirmed.
The Secretary read a communication
from Senator Graham, requesting the
Board to take some action in regard to
two bills accotnpanying his communi
cation. The first bill- was : in relation to
the formation of Reserve township into
a ward of the city and. making adjust
ment of all claims between the township
and city, arising out of said arrangement.
The second was in relation to giving
the old wards the right to compensation,
from new wards created out of them, for
school property.
,Considerable discussion ensued in re
lation-to the matter, some of the mem
bers contending that the Board had no
authority in either case, the local boards
of the different wards interested being
the only proper parties to whom the bills
should be referred.
On motion, the bills were finally re
ceived and approved.
Mr. Walton moved that the Secretary
be instructed to notify Senator Graham
of the action of the Board in regard to the
bills. Carried. •
Mr. Lea moved that. an assistant music
teacher be employed in the schools. Car
ried.
,Mr. Lea then moved that Prof. Harry
Horner be employed in that capacity for
the remainder of the present year. Car
ried.
Mr. Francis moved that a tax of ten
mills on the dollar be levied for educa
tional purposes for the present year.
Carried.
Mr. Borland moved to increase the
salary of the Janitor of the Board from
$lOO to $l5O per year. The motion was.
lost.
On motion of Mr. King, Prof. M. B.
Sloan was allowed ten minutes to, ex
hibit an astronomical apparatus showing
the movements of the earth around the
sun. .
On motion, adjourned.
Exton!'lire Robbery
About six o'clock Monday evening the
jewelry store of H. Knceble was robbed
of jewelry to- the amount of $3OO. Mr.
S., it appears, was at supper and had
left his son in the store during his ab
sence, when two men came in and re
quested him to show them some watches,
After elfamining the watches for some
time they went out without purchasing.
Subsequently one of them returned mid
asked to see some rings. A tray of rings
worth about three hundr h the
ed dollars was
sot out upon'the counter, from whic
man selected one, and asked the price of
it. The boy, not knowing what it was
worth, went to ask his *father, and when
he returned his customer had disappear
ed, taking with him the tray and its con
tents. No clue to the thief.

S . Min Shot--.l7lltainous, - Assault on a
Peaceable Citizen—The Whiny Sel
lers' Ring.
A most villainous assaul t ' teas made
upon Mr. Jno. Carvill, a quiet ai4peace
able citizen, yesterday, by David Ainlie
,I
a notorious character who, it would *-
pear, is in the service of the whisky sel
lers
.
of this city. It appears that Mr.
Carrill; on Sunday last, was arrested for
drunkenness; and during the time that
he was in the lock-up the Mayor diScov
ered where he•had obtained the, whisky
and compelled him to make information
against the parties selling it, which he
did, much against his own inclination.
The parties, who are whisky sellers in
the Diamond, were arrested and fined by
His Hotior, and Mr. C., who, under the
law, waS entitled to a portion of the fine
as informer, refused to receive it. Yes
terday morning, while engaged at
work plastering in the third story
of a house on Liberty street, Al
legheny, Audio came in and de
manded of him a , portion of the
money he had received for making the
information referred to. He replied that
`he had not received any money and that
he not expectations an information with
the of getting any. Audio
then asked him what he made it for, call
him a d—d informer, and pulled out a
revolver and fired two shots at him, the
first of which took effect in his right
wrist, inflicting a serious wound, andthe
other passed through the breast of his
coat and vest, slightly cutting the skin.
The villain thinking that he had killed
Caryl% which was doubtless his Inten
tion, fled, leaving the wounded man alone
in the room.
Mr. C. on recovering from the shock
repaired to Mayor Brush's office and
made information chargingi Audie with
felonious assault and battery. _ A war
rant was issued.
This incident is another evidence of the
fact, to which we referred some time
since, of the existence of a ring or league
among whisky sellers, the object of
which is to prevent the enforcement of
the laws relative to selling whisky, by
just "such proceedings as these related
above. It is only a few weeks since a
man who had " ma de information against
a whisky dealer i was attacked by three
men and beaeath, for no
other reason ter thanalmost
that to
of d
having made
the information. It is time these gentle
men should know that they, with all
other classes of citizens, must either obey
the laws or submit to the punishment
their violation of it entails. The matter
should be investigated. There are.
doubtless, men dealing in whisky who
have no disposition to break the lava',
yet the,public makes no discrimination
in its censure, condemning all whisky
dealers on account of the doings of a few
rogues. _
Sunday Liquor Selling.
Notwithatanding the fact that in addi
tion to the act of Assembly prohibiting
the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sun
day, the violation of which is punishable
by fine and imprisonment upon convic
tion in the Court of Quarter Sessions,
there is also in existence a law imposing
a penalty of fifty dollars upon the of
fender, one halt of which goes to the in
former there appears to be . a disposition
upon thel part of many of the liquor
dealers to disregard tee laws, and the
authorities are unable to enfarce a Strict
, observance of thorn.
' That liquor is sold in this city on Sun
day, and at divers places, is clearly evi
slent from the number of drunken men
found upon the streets on Sunday and
Sunday nights- The police on;
seem
to be vigilant in the performance of their
duties in arresting the poor, degraded,
drunken creatures, many of whom, per
, haps, had but a few moments ; prior to'
falling into the officers' hands, paid their
last dime over the counter of the ruin
seller for a glass of his “double distilled
poison," and, having no more money, is
kicked out of the rum shop, and is picked
up by the first officer whop asses '
con•
ducted to the lock-up, where he is furn
ished with lodgings for the night, and,
at the Mayor's Court the next morning,
having no money to pay the fine imposed
upon him, is, committed to jail for ten or
iwoiaty days, while his family, depend
ent upon his labor for their daily bread,
must beg, starve or steal, and the whisky
seller, the only person who has violated
the law or committed an offense of which
the Courts takes cognizance, is allowed
to remain undisturbed in the enjoyment
of his ill-gotten gains.
Mayor Brush has expressed a deter
mination to prevent the Sunday liquor,
traffic, and will doubtless use all the
means in his power to accomplish that
end, and every citizen who desires to see
tile laws strictly enforced, shOuld feel it
his duty to aid him in this work.
The police might, if they so desired,
aid the Mayor materially in his under
taking. There are no persons,, except the
man who sells whisky to the unfortunath
wretch whoi drinks it, know so well
who it is that sells liquor on Sunday as
the policemen. They may not possess
that personal knowledge of the fact as to
'enable them to testify to it, but when it
is once ascertained that a man sells
liquor, it is no difficult matter to obtain
the evidence requisite to convict him of
the offense. We are not sure that it is
not the duty of the police officer, under
his oatti, to hunt down these violators of
the laws of both God and man and üb
ject them to that punishment which, s we
regret to say, is inadequate to the offense.
Laying 1u a stock. ;
The ice men are busily-engaged in lay
ing in their stock 'for the coming season.
The cold weather of the last few days
has been quite a fortunate turn for them,
as they will now be enabled to get a
pretty good supply on hand, which other
wise would not have been the case.
Some parties have purchased the ice at
the Union Park, which is said tb be quite
solid and of a superior quality. This of
course, stops skating at the Park,
which' is regretted by all the skatorial
fraternity.
We have been informed that other par
ties have contracted for ice, which is now
being delivered at the Allegheny Depot
of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne it Chica
go Railway at six dollars per ton. One
of our prominent dealers, whoa( ice
house is located near the banr - of the
river, succeeded, during the cold wheath
er in Dticember, 1868, in storing one tou
sandifour hundred tons, at Boost of about
thirty-five cents per ton. Comparing the
figures, if they are any criterion, he has
on
ample cause to congratulate himself
making such a lucky hit.
A Delinquent Husband.
A warrant was issued by Mayor Drum
yesterday morning for the arrest.of John
Sbober, charged with desertion by his
wife, Mrs. Phi'omens Shober. Mrs.
Shober says the accused has for some
time past spent all his earnings in drink
ing, refusing to do anything toward the
support of herself or their children.• She
dended for a livelihooupon the
du p c e t of four Cows, but th i s source of rev
enue, she states, has been cat off by her
husband) who, during her absence on
MolgilfrY afternoon, sold the animals and
expended the proceeds for liquor. Her
case, if the statement•made be true, is a
sad ono- Indeed,. ani), the • delinquent
wretch should Wpiadto to feel severely
the effects of his anutioominga.

• Fatal Accident
An accident of a most shocking nature
occurred on the Pittsburgh & Connells:
vine Railroad,' at Long_ Ruu station,
about a mile and a half from McKees
port, by which Jordan Nesmith, an em
ployee on the road, was killed instantly.
The unfortunate man was, fireman on
engine No. 14, which at the time was at
tached to a train of twenty-one coal cars.
Re was engaged in throwing coal in the
tire, standing with one foot on the tender
and the other in the, cab, when the coup
ling pirr or king bolt raised sufficient to
allow the coupling to slip out, when the
engine -immediately parted from the
'train causing him 'to fall on the track,
and the entire train of twenty-one cars
and the tender ,passed over his_ body.
The engine was stopped as soon as possi
ble, and the conductor and engineer
went back to look for Nesmith, whom
they found over a hundred feet from
where the accident occurred, the body
having been dragged along by the train.
The body was shockingly inutilated;lone
leg having been severed at the knee, one
arm torn from the body at the shoulder
joint, the head crushed and the remain
ing portion of the body crushed and
bruised. The remains were gathered to
gether, placed in a sheet and removed to:.
Connellsville where he resided, when
cti
an inquest was held by. 7 tice'Benjamin
Prichard. The jury foun . a verdict in
accordance, with the facts
The deceased was abo, t thirty years
of ago and leaves a widow - and one child.

Interesting OcCasion.
Mr. J. \V. Drury, the popular and effi
cient conductor of the McDonald accom
modation train on the Pan Handle/Rail
way, was made the recipient, a few/even
ings ago, of athandsome and elegant gold.
watch and chain, the gift Of his friends.
The ceremony of presentation took place
at the house of Ildr. S. H. Cook, at Mc-
Donald Station, the speech of the occa
sion being made by Mr. J. N. McDonald;
Mr. Drury appropriately responding.
An elegant supper was spread for the
guests, and ail were heartily pleased
with the affair. The watch was one of
the best Howard Chronometers, with
compensating I balance, adjusted to heat,
cold jtnd position, and was as splendid a
time piece as any :wan t need desire. It

The Masquerade.--The masquerade at
the Rink last evening was a brilliant
success. The ice was in splendid condi
tion and the attendance of skaters and
spectators exceedingly' large. Variety.
neatness and elegance. with just enough
of the comic to render the display inter
esting and laughable, marked the cos
tumes. The exhibition of faboy skating
was unusually fine and elicited frequent
applause from the spectators. Superin
' tergient Brown and his assistants have
reason to feel proud of the suecess which
attends their efibrts in managing the es
establishment.
The Weather, althoUgh inclement, has
not interfered with the great clearance
