THE "BOYD FARM."
In December last Councils passed the
fallowing resolution:
Resolved, That the Directors of the
Poor, be, and they are hereby authorized
and requested to purchase the farm of
Messrs. David and William Boyd, situa
ted In Indiana.
By authority of this resolution it was
contended that the Directors were em
powered by this resolution to purchase
the "Boyd Farm" for 482,000, the price
put upon it. 1 -
Subsequently; Common Council, at a
meeting held August 12th passed the fol
lowing:
Beaolved, That the Directors of the
Poor be requested to report to Councils
all the facts connected with the purchase
of the Boyd farm.
Select Council refused to concur in this
resolution, on the ground that it would
be a virtual admission that the farm had
been bought, which many of the mem
bers did not admit. They accordingly
referred the resolution to the Committee
on Poor Farm.
No money has been paid on the farm,
but the Messrs. itoyd contend that the
city had made herself actually liable and
they have not been making use of the
ground. They, now propose to bring suit
to, enforce the consummation of the sale.
Common Council lwit evening adhered
to their action in passing the resolution,
and asked for a Committee of Confer.
ence, appointing as their representatives
Mann. Tate, Comley and Thompson.
and Messrs. Hall and Long on the nareof .
Select Council. After, a brief consulta
tion, the Committee reported in S. O.
favtirable to laying the resolution on the
table. So the case rests.
THE SEWER HONES. ,
: The ordinance relative to the
issue of bowie for the payment of such
sewers as ;ire now under contract or
may be .constructed in the future was
'brought up 'from Select Branch.
McNeil moyed to amend the first
:section •bv providing for the Dane ,of
bonds sufficient In amount to pay like.
stifle for all the sewers !Mob have been
built so fox. • -
- A ;brief discussion ensued upon the
'amendment.
The7eas end nays were called on the
OE
paaaage of the amendment, resulting in
yeas 7. nays
So the amendment was lost.
The point at issue seemed to be that
under the old law a number of parties
had paid special tax for sewerage pur
poses, and under the new• law were re
quired to pay a general tax for sewers
built in any part of the city.-The amend
ment contemplated the providing of
money sufficient to refund these parties
for the amount which they had previous
ly d
l e
. they havingbeen assessed twice.
The wor amended law provided for
this funding at any time within ten
years, but it was contended that it was
miff& to keep the parties out , of their
money that length of time.
Mr. Warner then presented an amend
ment, pending which the hour of ad
journment arrived and Councils ad
journed under the rules.
That Market.
MESSRS. EDITORS: Can you tell me
what the excitement about this proposed
new Market House means? As a resi
dent in the locality, I feel deeply inter
ested in the matter. I, in common with
a number of my neighbors, thought the
report of the Market Committee would
about settle it. at least so far as the site
was concerned. Certainly it should do
so if they have done, what had
been assigned them. hey exam
ined thoroughly every site ob.
tainable and finally settled upon the Ly'
ons' lot, according to their report. Coun
cils would hardly ask farther proof than
that of the, eligibility and adaptability of
the location for the purpose. Then why
need there be any farther talk? The
Committee has recommended it, the
people for whose accommodation the
market is being built endorse. the 're
commendation, [I know that person
ally."' A market house must be
built, and certainly there can be no dif.
acuity about the price of this place.
If there are any on that point a little
inquiry in regard to the figures for real
estate in the vicinity will be sufficient to
dissipate them very soon. If, attar the
deliberation and caution which has
marked the movement all along, Coun
cils are-not ready to take some action,
that spirit of enterprise and decision
which formerly marked the body must
have departed. Councils should either
adopt the report of the Committee or iv
ied it, and proctue a new site, if they
can. which will be more suitable. •
The people want a Market House . , are
willing to pay for it, and are desirous of
being accommodated as soon as possible.

hold their first annual re-union, in La
fayette Hall, on the 9th of next month'.
This re-uniting of old comrades Who
have bivonaced , laughed, marched and
bled together, after years of separation,
is one of the few very pleasant things
made possible by the late war. What ,
stories are told; what memories revived;
what words of regret for those who are
missing from among them! It is there
more than any place else in these piping
times of peace that the man remembers
most vividly MA, he was once a soldier
and fought in his obuntry's defence. The
programme of the re-union of the 77th
embraces a business meeting in the
morning, prayer, music, discussion of
matters of interest, and an oration by
Col: Fred. 8. Pyfer, in the afternoon, and
a hop and banquet in the evening. We
hope the meeting will be a full and sat
isfactory one, and do not doubt butilt
will.

tures have been exceedingly interesting,

she received a unanimous vote of thanks
from the Institute.

entertained with some delightful music.

cise, the teachers forming themselves
into a class. The lady gave some excel.
lent suggestions regarding the quality of

AFTERNOON SESSION
Commenced with singing, after which
Mr. J. P. Andrews delivere. • lecture on
Mental Arithmetic. He a! .ke Of the op
position which this study had met with
in the school room fro .. hose who did
Dot understand it, and contended that its
fundamental principles should be taught
in "the primary department. It would
discipline the minds of the pupils and
lead them to think. In' teaching it no
book should be brought to the clans, and
the teachers should depend more upon
their own faculties than the book.
Mr. Bartt said Mental Arithmetic
should be confined to such problems as
have few conditions, otherwise it was
better to have it written.
Mr. Harrison thought this study
gymnastic exercise to the mental facul
ties, and very advantageous for the prac
tical results which smutted - from its
study.
Superintendent Luckey thought too
much attention had been given to this
study in Western Pennsylvania. 1; was
only good as it assisted in explaining
written arithmetic.
Mr. .7. M. Pryor next delivered an In
teresting lecture on "Infinite Series,"
with blackboard illustrations.
Mrs. Randall read “The Charge of the
Light Brigade," after which she con;
ducted an exercise on ' , Methods of Va
riety" In reading, giving many practical

Rev. Mr. Evans, of Minersville, deliv
ered an interesting _ lecture, entitled
"Plumes."

By."
Mrs. Randall thenrdelivered an address
upon the subject of natural reading.
Every great artist was a student of nature,
and this should be remembered by the
reader. There was more, or at least as
much, in the tone of the voice as In
what there was said. The same words
repeated in one tone would attract a
child, and in another would repulse it.
The teacher should take advantage of
this. - In conclusion' of ber excellent
lecture the lecturer said that the first req
uisite of the teacher 'of reading, which
she would have faithfully cultivated, was
common sense. She concluded by read
ing the "Burning Prairie," and after the
Quartette had sung "Just Twenty Years
Ago," react ,, Darius Greenand his Flying
Machine," and "No Sect in Heaven,"
which were enthusiastically applauded.
Mr. Bunt announced that Mrs. Ran

The Quartette then sung "Sleep Gentle
Lady, Sleet)," and the Institute adjourn

held by Coroner Clawson to day.
