We do not think that the project has been abandon ed by the railway officials. Is said that none of the dry goods men have inominated candidates for the Government offices in this district, de pending on Mr. A. T. Stewart to rely upon their judgment and saga - city in politics, as he has known them so long in business. Two Charges.—John Enright yester day lodged informations for assault and battery and selling liquor on Sunday, before Justice Barker, of South Pitts. burgh, against Martin Rice.

The Gas question has occupied the at tention of the Dispatch for several days past. It lea universal complaint amongst consumers that the bills for the quarter ending March Ist were entirely out of the range of figures as compared with previous accounts for corresponding pe. riods. There Is certainly something wrong, but how can the people remedy _the matter so long as they are at the mercy of the Gas Company and have no place to carry their appeals? Committed to Jan.—John Bratney. damesti Cassiday and John Snyder, were before Mayor Drum yesterday,on a charge of disorderly conduct.

Amusements never were better patron ized in this city than during the present winter. The Allegheny Councils will hold a regular semi-monthly meeting to-mor row evening. • `'Kite Flying , ' and "marble playing" are in vogue among our youthlul popu lation just now. Yesterday was as warm, bright and genial as a May day., The barometer Indicates rain to-day. This day week will be St. Patrick's day. There will be a procession of Irish men in honor of the .occasion. 1 The To-Lets are rapidly disappearing - from houses as the first of April draws nigh.. Not many will be left unoccupied. Planchette, the mysterious humbug. Is dead stock on the bands of dealers, as the toy no longer attracts any attention. Neither money nor friends can release from the tombs any person once lodged therein before a hearing is had before the Mayor. The Insurance Agents are preparing statistics to present to Councils, at their next meeting, in opposition to the Paid Fire Department. The -Watch House.—There were twen ' ty-three subjects in the lock-up vester _ day morning, who -were disposed of by the Mayor in his utfual way. The • Fifth Avenue police guard are highly creditable to the department. They perform their duties' in a manner .highly satisfactory to all citizens. Tbe Veloeipeiie mania Is rapidly dying out. It Is not thought so great an ac complishment, after all, for offS to play the part of a bed toa wheelbarrow. Tile Cymnasinm is attracting large at tendance each evening.

Surety.—Mary Gordon made informa tion before Alderman Lindsay yesterday against Bridget Allen for surety of the peace. The accused was arrested and held for a hearing.

Sensation at the Academy of Music— Sheriff's Officers In the Green Room. The entertainment at the Academy of Music was slightly interrupted last even ing by the appearance of the Sheriff's officers in the green , room, a few moments before the curtain rose. It ap pears that the agent of the Susan Galton Opera Troupe made a contract with Mr. Canning, Manager of the Opera House, engaging to play the company at the . Opera House on the week commencing February Bth, which contract PM not fulfilled, and Mr. Canning, claiming to have sustained damage by the violation of the same, brought an action of tress pass on the case in the Common Pleas Court against the several parties com posing the company. A summons was Issued, and it was for the purpose ofserv ing it that the Sheriff's officers visited thee green room. • Why the summons was not served on the parties at the hotel, or why its ser vice was not postponed until this morn ing, we are unable to say, but we think either would have been preferable, as it was merely, the service of a civil writ, and the officer knew that the troupe did not intend to leave the city until after this evening. • , The interruption was not, however, at tended with any serious consequences,ait the entertainment went on as if nothing had occurred. Messrs. McCullough and Taylor, attorneys for the Galtons, present, it appear ti, and accepted service' on the writ, thereby avoiding the delay of serving it on each of tne parties. Little Girl Run Over. Monday , evening, about six o'clock, Mary Robtarger, a little , girl aged about 'five years, residing with her parents' near the Sligo nails, Monongahela bor ough,- was run over by a wagon . in South Pittsburgh and very severely injured. The child attempted to cross the street in front of the wagon, - which was being driven along at an ordinary rate ofspeed, when she' was knocked down by the, front wheel which passed over her breast, inflicting Injuries which may prove fatal. She was picked up and taken into a house in the vicinity, where she received medical attention, after which she was taken home. Sho was somewhat better yesterday evening, but the physician entertains slight hopes of her recovery. The driver of the vehicle, it is said,, was not to blame, as the little victiva was not noticed by him until the wheel had passed 'over her. We could not ascertain his name. - Hilarious. On Monday evening Leo Fence, John Caruthers and Margaret Carr assembled at the residence of Mrs. Jones . , a widow residing on an alley between Locust and Jdnlata streets, Sixth ward Allegheny. They brought with them a supply of whisky,and other stimulating beverages, which was disposed of during the even ing in a manner not at all calculated to render their actions orderly or quiet. In fact the leverets - Was the case, and the dis order and noise produced was so great that the attention of one of the , night police was attracted to the spot. Realiz in the situation, hepromptlyarrested the g trio and locked th e m m u pt p for arres the re mainder of the evening. The Mayor, after hearing the case, fined the parties twenty dollars each and costs.

High Schools • 75 S 6 161 ,Normal School 65 65 Commercial school 109 9 , 118 Total ' 184 160 ! 344 The Principal calls the attention of the Board to the fact that several teachers in the High School do not arrive at 'the school building until after the hour for opening has passed. The report was received. On motion of Mr. Getty, the Secretary was instructed to notify the teachers re ferred to, that they must be at the school building at half-past eight o'clock. REPORT OF THE CITY BIIPERINTENEENT -CONDITION OF 'THE PUBLIC'HOHOOLS -STATISTICS, &O. • The Secretary read a report film the City Superintendent, S. G. Lucky,.Efiq., as follows: GENTLEMEN: Having nearly complet ed my tour of inspection of the Public Schools of the city, I desire to submit to your body a somewhat extended report of my - visits, and I do so with a desire that the Directors may become more in .terested in the prosperity and success of our schools. SCHOOL ACCOMODATIONS. • As far as my knowledge goes, no city in the 'United States ismetter supplied with' substantial and comfortable build ings for, school purposes than our own, most of 'which are well supplied with approved furniture. ,The only districts that are yet without proper school ac commodations are now engaged in the erection of large and commodious build ings.' , I am sorry to state that most of' the schools are poorly supplied with maps, globes and school apparatus, without ,which much of the teaching is ineffectual. Considerable good has been done by the - introduction of plain drawing cards into many of the Primary rooms, and it is to he hoped that each Local Board will take steps for their general adoption throughout the city. SCHOOL GRADES, Since the new grade was established by the Board, the different schools are grad ually approaching a uniform stanftrd, and in the studyof arithmetio it has been - nearly attained. At the beginning of the year but little interest was manifest ,ed on thesubject of reading, and in many of our schools it was almost entirely neg lected, but during the last few months much concern has been shown on the subject and our teacheis are giving , it ninth-extra attention, and - I - sincerely hope that by the end of the. present school year no school in the city will law in this moat important branch of study. In the study of geography, I find that too much attention is given to the study' of, foreign lands, to the almost entire • exp elusion of our own country, but this plan is gradually giving place to a more practical work. . A free circulating of. teachers, one with another in attending frequently teachers' meetings, and in visiting other schools, would have a good tendency In enabling them to extricate themselves from the deep ruts of form in which,•'perhaps, they have been travelling for years. 'SCHOOL DISCIPLINE. The deportment of pupils in our public schools is certainly commendable, and in the Intel mediate and Grammar Depart ments it is most excellent, and only_in the Primary Departments have I ay suggestions to make on the subject. The pupils in this Department are not of that age or advancement to be interested in their studies, and teachers have a very difficult task indeed to keep within proper bounds these busy, pushing, ac tive' untrained • intellects. Only a very few teachers are endowed by nature with. the faculty of governing the very young, and many of our primary teachers find themselves baffled at every corner In their efforts to keep in proper subjection their youthful subjects, and without stopping to inquire the best methods of securing obedience, they adopt the rod as being attended with less thought 'and study. As an evidence of the statement that the primary depaitnients are too much governed by force, I submit ,the follow ing from the February reports: Total number of punishments 294 Number in Primary Deßirtment.: I have made the above remarks in or der to nonce the thoughtful attention of parties interested in this subject. I am noVadyocatitig the total abolition of corporal punishment in the public schools, but I am anxious that something should be done to throw a proper; re straint around those having in charge the very young pupils in our schools. THE TRAINING SCHOOL. The success of this school has exceeded My highest expectations, and the pro gress of the pupils, to say nothing of the benefits derived y the pupils of the Nor mal School, speaks very highly for the plan adopted at its organization. 1111111 SCHOOL-CLASSICAL DEPARTMiENT. Never bitfore was the attendance so large or the interest so great, and its steadily increasing prosperity is a matter of pride to its many friends. The addi tion of another teacher has been of great value to the departmen. When the school is removed into a building suita ble to its wants, I feel assured it will not disappoint the highest expe3tations ef our people. NORMAN. DEPARTMENT. The Normal School 'has :tatadily in- Creased in numbers and efficiency-Alb.* its organization, and fills & want long felt in our city, It should be a matter of pride to our citizens that it occupies such a prominent place in public hivor, in. so shortstime from its organization.

The report was accepted. Mr. Humbert moved toamend the reso lution by making both teachers for the Sixteenth ward of the Graminar grade. Mr. Shaw moved, as an amendment, that the teachers both be;intermediate. The amendment was :adopted. The question recurring on the adoption of the resolution, as amended, 'it was adopted. Mr. • Mays; from the Eleventh ward, stated that the number of teachers in the Grammar , Department was insufficient, and moved that one teacher be trans ferred from the Primary to the Grammar Department.
