1872. The first fire which baa this year occurred in Newark happened yesterday morning abont fou' o'clock. The dwelling bonae of Anthony Hill, a respected citizen ol Eat Newark, together witb all tae boosehold furniture he possessed were burned. Vdur correspondent wa informed, upon visititig 'he premises, that the tire originated in the ceiling, which wa ignited from the kitchen stoveipipe. The family were all asleep.

The wind blew like a hurricane at tbe time. The horror of awakening upon sach a old, windy morning as yesterday's, with the flames consuming ail aronnd and everything ot one's home cannot well be Mr. Hilf wife and five children could scarcely follow him out of the house before the upper floors fell in. Engine company number 2 (the Arcadia) were promptly upon the spot, but if there bad been twenty others little could have been effected during the strong wind. Adjoiuiog buildings were saved.

A few minutes time was sufficient for the flames to turn all the little children's clothes, the furniture of the parents, all tbe household pets, the Penates of the family and their borne into nothing but ashes. There was ao insurance upon the property. The toe reealculsble to Mr. Hilt. He has the sympathiea of all.

The bridge over tbe Erie canal for tbe Sodus Point and Southern railroad is beiug rapidly constructed. The mill-pond of tbe custom mills is being spiled, and the viaduct ior crossing it will soon Deconstructed. The railroad company advertise for ties, and the grade is perfected and fenced in between here and Great Sodus Bay. The state works upou tbe canal are being prosecuted vigorously. EDrCATIOSAL.

Tbe Wayne county lecture organisations have been busy this season. Lyons and Palmyra hav-icg put the 'lite of business" into tbe work by earnestly opposing the Newark lecture association. But the report of the treasurer of this association shows tbat it is out of debt aod has money on hand. Among tbe lectures by Greeley, Schurx, Taylor, Train, aud Mrs. Livermore tbat of Mrs.

Livermore has aided the "in the rhino'' more than any other. Nasby is to appear here, and Train is going to stop again. Your correspondent received a few days ago from School Commissioner Allen the announcement and programme of the Wayne county teachers' association, which will hold a session on Friday and Saturday of this week, in Lyons. Among the addresses announced are those from Prof. Seagrave, principal of Newark academy, and Messrs- Goodnoe, from Newark, and Hoag, formerly of Newerk.

The Lyons Republican assures teachers of the extensive hospitality of Lyons, whose citizens nerver allow teachers to go away hungry. This week and last have been a dull court session of supreme caurt at Lyons, Justice J. C. Smith presiding. The county lodge of Good Templars meets the second Tuesday in February at Maeedon Ceuter.

Salt. giad tug by order of the aewer committee oonld be charged tbe erroneous assessment food. This wonld bring the expense of improving Pryor xtreet npoa tb whole city. Some alder-nvn declared they wonld not vote to charge open the citizens at large tbe price of local improvements. Let ihe contractor suffer, or the sewer committee whose action was unauthorised.

Aid. Stone said no other course was poxsible. Pryor street people could not be forced to pay for what was done without an ordinance, aud any injunction obtained by them would be valid. Aid. Mandeville suggested that the amvunt charged for grading be left aside for the present, nntil the people of Pryor street showed a better disposition.

He thought tbe sewer committee had acted for the best. Aid. M. i insisted that the people of Pryor street bad asked him repeatedly to grade tbe street, and tbey had received full value for tbeir money. Aid.

Kelly declared that it bad long been the custom to grade tbe streets and finish them off after building sewers. Let each locality pay for its own in pmvement. Aid. Aldridge moved that tbe resolution be-fore tbe boaid be postponed until tbe next meeting and referred to tbe sewer committee, with directions to bring in an ordinance for grading Pryor street. Alderman Craig eppced this measnre.

If Pryorstreet was graded at eighty cents a foot tbey paid a price douide what it was worth. This method of telling contractor to bid low and trust to extras was rnnning this board into the ground. Tbe sewer committee was making these blunders continually. Why, Alderman Strlil'ins had even reeeutly received another com mm ia regard to a little sewer iu the twelfth ward where another of their mistakes had taken place. This attack drew ont some mutnal recriminn-tiens.

in which Aldermen Caring and Mauder took part. Alderman McConnelt said that he saw no reason for referring this matter to any committee. For one, as a member of the sewer committee, be said he owned up that tbey had transcended their authority tbi year in grading streets. He said be would not do so again, but simply art strictly to the letter of the law. Alderman Stone had made a slight mistake in representing him as saying tbe grading Was worth one dollar.

He had declared the work worth seventy-five ents, hut bad consented it with tbe other members. All the odium of the board this ytar was thrown on the sewer committee. Others had been fully as mnch to blams in the matter. Tbe improvement committee bad repeatedly changed tbe figures of certain contractors to bring their bids up higher than those of others. He intt.tnced Asylum street, Washington street and other places.

Aid. Serve, on behalf tbe improvement committee, denied the allegations of Aid. Mc-Connrll. He said it waa an absolute falsehood as far as he knew to say that the committee had ever given work to one contractor at prices larger than others would do it for. If $560 wa paid ou Pryor street for about as many feet the expense was double what it should be.

He anamidvertfd against the loose manner ia which tbe sewer committee did business. Aid. Aldridge of the same committee nniiu-tained its purity and honesty. ftntAjtc.B if Tara. A day or two ago the Fnioo contained aa account of an old curiosity "aa ancient copy of the eripture, printed In 1717.

By way of contrast to this antique specimen, that journal now give us a desorip-tmn of aoasethtag new and startling which it has discovered. In yeaterdav evening's issue it sets forth tbe eorioo intelligence that (hingl( are becoming scarce that tbey ara also on account of Are; that chevp roofing material is likewise very mnch needed, that in Europe people make as of tiles; and, strange ta say, tbat they make them out of clay. Our contxir.irorary. thinking that its bare assertion of these startling facts would not be taken, refers the multitudes of people who want to take its word to some place on East avenne for information. Tbe Cnion may really be right about this matter of tiles.

We think that we have beard of them somewhere before. They are not perhaps quite as new aa invention as the Union seems to think. Hour roc raory does not fail us we recollect an interesting story of how an old woman threw one of them down off a roof and killed King Pyrrbus with it a little iaci-dtnt which is of no very recent date having takea place some twenty-five centuries back. Tbere is also an expression need for hat, tbat the word tile, which is plainly a metaphor Ibb) application of the name of the covering of a house to tbe covering of the bead. This turn of rxpression mast bave taken quite a long time lo grow into the language.

Indeed we should not after all be surprised to lu sr that the wonderful tiles, which the Union bas just found ont and is endeavoring to bring before the public, have been common in tbe world for several thousand years. At the conclusion of its article tbe Uuiou uses its celebrated dirty linen" metaphor borrowed by the local for the occasion from its political editor. Tbat linen of tbo Union's has been worn so long and for auch purposes that it bas grown ao leas font than threadbare and if pnt into use strain, onr ck-port friend will probably forward his red-ribbon to our contemporary. Visit to the coisn issTrrLTiosrs. A prominent clergyman of tbis city hiving visited the penitentiary, insane asylum and connty bouse, sends an account of his observations which will doubtless prove interesting to our readers.

He says: 'We visited them in an official as well a iu a triendly spirit, ami we were much pleased with what we saw, and witb the care aud attention of their respective superintendents. Wr. Mc-Whorter seems to be a gentleman will suited for his position. Under his management the penitentiary is clean, warm aud comfortable. We bave visited many state prisons and fonn 1 no institution of tbe kind in better condition, especially for sanitary purposes.

Judging from tbe industries of tbe place, we should say that it cost but little to tbe county. The next place visited was the insane asylum, an institution which cannot fall to elicit the sympathies of the visitor. Tlie varitd phases of mental diseases are wonderfolly strikiug: here we find kings and queens in imagination, others are great literati, but by far tbe greater number are afHit't-ed with a dreadtnl meianchuly which like a dark clond hangs over the mind and renders them insensible to every passing object. Over this institution Dr. Lord presides, a gentleman well qualiled to fill sncb an important position.

Though small in statute, yet of great power, he controls tbe insane ol all classes. Tbe secret of bU influence over them seems to be in bis eye, which expresses a decided and unflinching will. His care aud kinduess for the unfortunate creatures we admired much. We found him amusing the inmates ot tbe institution with bis violin, and tbey dancing happily to bis excellent music. This was the best medicine be could give them.

The alms house was the last visit It it a building entirely unsuited for its purposes: low, and its departments badly veutilated. u-iaut sate and attention to cleanliness are absolutely necessary to the health of its inmates, who are far too numerous lor the siae of tbe building. Every room is blled with worthy objeets of charity. Mr. Loder, the gentlemanly superintendent, is unceasing in hi care and kindness to tbeee poor creatures under his charge.

We saw no one there unworthy of chanty, and many were the blessings poured ou his head for tbis kinduess and attention. A Lew county borne is much required. fOlHT KEl'OltO.

Aid. Stone then moved the adoption of tb resolution recommending tbe transfer of tbe firttesee Talley stock for tbe stock of the Lake Ontario Shore railroad and providing for tbe submission of tbe measure for tbe approval of the people. Atter some explanations to the samn gener-il (fleet as contained in speeches heretofore reported tbe resolution was adopted ail ayes except two. Hy Aid.

The ordinance also lirovides tor tbe necessary laterals. The estimated cost ts $2. 039 to be assessed on the property benefited. Adopted1.

The final ordinance for the improvement of Tsppan street was brought up by AU. Canng who moved an amendment which was adopted tbe matter was then postponed for one week fjrndfr the bead of unfinished business tbe election of managers for the bouse for idle and truant- children came up and was on motion postponed until tbe next regular meetiug. Aid. Aldridge moved that the board proceed to the election of a school commissioner tor the first ward, to fill tbe vacancy occasioned bv the deatb of Henry S. Dean.

He nominated for tbe office Charles L. Fredeuhurg. Aid. Mandeville nominated William F. Holmes.

Charles L. Fredrnbnrg was chosen on the first ballet by a vote of 15 tj 9. Aid. Aldridge offered a resolution providing for a contrast with Xormington dt HollowaF for tbe construction of a flag walk on Lorimer street for the sum of $2,700 Adopted. Aid.

Fond presented the following resolution: Hy Aid. Pond; Whereas. The common council did. about two years since, purchase the lot ot tbe First Fleshy lerian society lor the purpose, as then dis-tictly understood and declared, of building thereon a city hall, and in furtherance of the purpose bas the past year made a contract of with and secured certain privileges from the county of Monroe, and( whereas, notwitbstamting all the discussions and proposition since bad and made no site has been suggested on which so many can unite as that one ven omitting all considerations of expense), and in view of tbe attempts which are being made to procure legislation on tbe subject by a few individuals without having in any way consulted with tbe citizeus at large or this board, oreven allowing a copy of the proposed bill to he published therefore, Kesailved, That Aldermen BoayaBx Mande-viilc. Stade, Charters and Heavey be appointed a I-nt (ding committee lor tbe new city hall, and that tuey are nereny utiectea to procure plans suitable for the lot purchased for that purpose, and to present tbe same to this board forcon-sioeiation as early as practicable; such plans to be made on such scaleatud in such style as tbat the hole expense of tbe same hen entirely finished and ready for occupation shall uot ex-, wed $1511,000.

Aid. Stebbins declared that the location named was an improper one with the canal, the Clinton hotel bams aud tbe walls ol the bridge surrounding it. He moved as an amendment tbat for the above site the property of tbe Hon. litifus Kt e'er, on St. Paul street, be substituted.

It was extensive and cheap, and the only objection was that it was not as central as some others. Aid. Craig seconded the amenduxr-nt, declaring tbat no site on the east of the river was so eligible, it being light and airy. Aid. Caring moved as a substitute that the property known as the New England property, on East Main street, be purchased.

It was cheap and extensive. This substitute was not seconded. Aid. Whitmore called for the previous question. Aid.

Kelly said these substitutes and amt-n l-ments were hastening the passage of tbe btll now pending in the legislature. That measure would be rushed through aud signed by the governor iu the twinkling of an eye. Aid. Stebbins in explaining his vote declare-! thtit tbe aldeimen acre nnder a threat. It was unmanly to tee whipped into a course by tbe action of tbe legislature.

Inany Ltber cir cumstunces he would imagine such a suggestion a trick to induce us to accept an improper site. Aid. Charters moved to lay Aid. Carina's substitute on tbe table. Aid.

llerrbcrger said that he bad often thought that he would uot, under any 111 1 11 am -stance, vote for the lot behind the court house, shutting tbe city hr.ll up in such a dark location. It was a hard pill for tbe aldermen from the east side to swallow. But no other course could be taken. We were threatened with a tax of $500,000 and he thought tbe burden would be an outrage ou the poor. Tbe only way to do was to head off the moverx in tbat scheme.

Aid. Canng thought the threat about tbe bill was not a very dangerous one. Aid. Stape declared he would vote for placing the city hall behind the court bouse, although Leretofore opposed to that site. Aid.

Stebbins said tbey should uot be moved bj aay threats in tbe matter, but act according to tbeir own judgment. He proposed to fight tbe matter out fairly and squarely, and it defeated die game. He would not do what appeared to bis judgment wrong, in order to de feat some other scheme. The council was too apt to curl under and shrink at the signs of opposition. On motion Alderman Caring's substitute au! Alderman Stebbins amendment were laid upon the table.

Tbe question there recurred on tbe main question, tbe previous question having been put in operation to shut off discussion. Alderman Pond's resolution wa then adopted. On motion of Alderman Kogers Wolf Ac Co. 's bill of $1000 for work and serricrs on number one engine bouse was ordered paid. Aldtrman Rogers presented fbe following; Py Aid.

Rotters Whereas, The rejMirt of tbe committee on tbe subject of the swing bridge at Buffalo street is very much remonstrated against by persons owning property on Caledonia avenue and its vicinity; therefore Resolved, Tbat our represent xtives iu the legislature of the state be requested to use tbeir influence to procure the passage of the following act. Au act to amend an act entitled an act to authorise tbe canal couimissiouers to construct a swing bridge over the Erie can-sl on Buffalo street in the city ot Rochester, aud to use the matt rials of the oi bridge ia roostrueting a bridge over said canal to connect Munger and Artrill rtreeta in said city passed April 7th, 1872. Tbe people of the state of New York represented in senate and assembly do euact as lol-Iowb: Section 1 Scctioo I of said act is hereby amended so as to road as follows: Section 1. The canal commissi are hereby authorised and required to construct a awina or turntable bridge over tbe Erie canal in tbe city of Rochester, at a point where aant canal is intersected by Buffalo street, in place of I be nridge now over said canal at the point aforesaid Said swing bridge shall be located on such a line as ahail be moat practiceble and in the opiuion of sa canal eommisaiourrs moat conductive to tbe best interest ol the ctate and the citizeus using e.iatlit. This act shall take immediate eBoct In explanation of the new plan, Aid.

Roger said a straight bridge would be impracticable on account of the eambankmeut, necessary for the Cahsdouia avenue bridge. My varying a little from tbe liae of the street, the long bridge opening from one side would be done away witn. ne new wiutu aiso oe-bnilt with the apprppiiatkiu already made, otherwise $22, 000 additional woull have to be procured, and ibis woiud deleat the whole im provement. A remonstrance from tax -payers ou Evergreen street wa read aud referred to the improvement committee. Aid.

Canug moved to reconsider a motxou previously passed to receive sixty-five per cent, in full from the tax-payer on Pryor street, for their lBiprovrmeat. He aatd a mis take had been made in the meaaurvment of the sowar. The recouuderatioB wa earned. On motion of Aid. Mender the original restitution was then postponed indefinitely, and Aid Caring offered a new reeolution to the effect that fifty-six per exint he received in full instead of sixty-fire.

Aid. Stone moved as a substitute that $560 paid for grading Pryor stieet. $110 charged for extra length of sewer and tor one lateral which had not been built. And $200 expended witaout authority on Lake avenue be credited lo those streets and charged to the erroneous asaeasmeat fund. Aid.

Stone explained tbe whole matter tu regard to the Pryor street buxineax, stating matuly what we have already published. He said tbe grading of tbe street, although done without authority, wa a benefit to the street and the tax-payers ought to pay something for the work. Aid, Caring moved to postpone tbe matter for one week. Tbe Bieituu waa last, and in ex-planal on of his vote. Aid.

The elements of uneertainty in tbeywo problems are, lit the praetirabthi of eoatractiag a tonne! under the lake bottem far enough Irom thx 1 to Mcure lake water at all tiroes untainted with the impuniif of city eewage earned d.wn by the Oeaexee; and Snd. the Mat of xrirb. liiBtiel provided it can he conxtructod. 1 committee possess no information as to the cbaraeter of the lake bottom under which a tunnel would require to be made tor the purpose in question. If it is sand or anything but rock or earth substantially impervious to water, tbe cost would lie wo great ax to forbi 1 the se-rion consideration ot this plan; and if it ia such or eatrti of the kind referred te.

the rut-k wo ild still he enormous, and probably out of all proportion to the value of the tunnel xh-n completed. The committee, i -v. i-r. are not to suonit any estimates on this point. It ix ol.vtnas that tbe plan of obtaining water from laiae Ontario, must neeeaaar.fr mclude i.ux arrangement for taking tbe supply at a very considerable distance from the shore inasmuch as tbe river water surcharged with -purities, derived Irom sewage aud tbe various ti aotiiai iirie situated on its banks, wouks otherwise be taken up rind forced back by expensive machinery for tbe daily use of our citizens I be cost of the wo! kx aside from the lunuel and furring uachioery, is estimated by very coui-petent anthority at something over fTO.dlO per noli That is, to supply the city with water tak-n from the lake near the shore would cost (reckoning tbe distance at eight miles) rising of (fsSo, (sXi more thau it would cost to supply it with water from the.

river taken above all t-ewage and other loexl sources, of imparity. And even to this large amount mutt tie added her large sum for extra machinery which IMS plan would necessitate, as well as tt iu il.

The pnrehaser is repre-m ted as a gentleman of great enterprise and ample mean to complete the works on any plan at iv be deemed beat tor all interests; and Mr. ilirdxs ye has assured the comniitt-ee that he i will soon be prepared to submit propoaaU to the common council for supplyiug the city with Hemlock lake water on the plan contemplated ti the old com- pany anil also ouir propoisals lur supplying the same waters under preau-e by means of the Holly system. The committee think a respectful bearing should be accorded to Mr. Hand and that whatever oHVr he mar submit should bare a fair aud candid cousidoratinn. It is understood that the contract long since made with the okl company for xupplymg the, rift with water tor public purposes, ba lapsed; and lhal the city is entirety tree to enter into new coutracte with the prescut representative, of the company: or with a company to be hereafter organized, or to proceed to construct water works on public account, aecordmgly as one or other of these plans may seem most cod -dui-ivt- to the general interests of onr It sboniU however be staled in this connection lhal there ia a class of bonds amounting to some JSO.

ISO which, it ia claimed by tbe hol lers theieot, constitute a first lien upon all tbe property of tbe company that was boazbt bv Mr. Hand. Liltgaticu growing out of this claim is now landing. and the caanmitte are informed that the case will probably not be tried till next May. It would s.

eiii a very obvious dictate of prudence that au adequate guaranty against delay in con -e-quence of this litigation should precede or form a part any negotiation with the purchaser under the recent foreclosure, for a water supply. Tbat litigation mav last for i ears; and meaa-alule the iiile to ttit property will be involved in sonic degree el uun-i tainiy. The eo remittee understand although they have sought no ne a information on tint point that the water which tbe compaor uudc.r lormor itiMnsgcment proio.seil to supply is very far iiouj ing pure or even cleanly; they behove that a reliable supply of" pure water fro 11m-asek lake canpot be obtaiued ex'eptinj bv sub-stltBaiaaf cast iiou tor the woodei; mains, and extending tljetu soiilhwanilr to the lake, or at least beyond every lt-cal source of contamination.

Tne number of grains ot solid matter to the gallon of different waters is here given on tbat autboniy: Croton (by SiHiroan, highest authority) 10.91; average of Croton analysis, 7.

Thus it will be seen tbat our river water compares favorably with inauy other waters which are Ireely used and highly esteemed by tbe people of the various localities named. Croton contains M.

93 grain of solid atfer according to tbe very highest American authority while Genesee contains from 5. 60 to 11 II grains the amount varying with tbe stage of water. Tbe well at the old Cornhiil tavern in our city showed 41 00 grains solid matter to the gallon. Its elevation above tbe surrounding territory exclodes the idea of other than miueral solids probably carbonate ol lime chiefly wliik the river aater Contains but 6. 87 giaius of lime to tie gallon, or ouly one sixth as much as the water of this far-famed well.

Acd as fur other foreign substances, the commiitee neither know nor can conceive ot any reae-ou for supposing tbat the water ot the Genesee not qmte as free troiu them, as tbe water of other rivers from which different ritie in various parts of tbe country respectively draw their supplies- It is not, like the Ohio and other fivers (the waters of which are used without filtering hy many cities on their banks) contamixisted by tbe sewage of large towns. Its sources are mostly springs and small streams taking their rise in lake lets of clear water and so far as the committee are advised no large swam rilled with decaying vegetable matter has the Genesee for its outlet The few loeal causes ot contamination indicated by tbe excess ot chloride of sodium (itself a small quantity JpMM iu tbe sample of water takea near tbe Valley desot, can be easily removed; doubtless other causes of like character along tbe river and its tributaries, which affect our imaginations more than tbe purity of tbe water at a great distance, conld readily be disposed of; and then the only valid objection to the water would pectssarily rest upon the few grains of salts of lime to tbe wutcu it unquestionably contains. Yet in spite of taBa facts, and it would see us for some purpose uot alte-gether harmony with public interests a determined effort has beeu made which is still resolutely persisted in, to make our citizens believe that tbe water ot the Genesee is totally and irremede.il:y unfit for general use; and that uo other than Hemic a lake water should be accepted. Even while mis report is in progress, a letter bas been received from the engineer of tbe 'gold bond holders of the Koehester water works1' alleging that tbe Hemlock take project the only one wor.hv of consideration, soliciting our citizens to at Tin raising $150,000 of the $110,000. wbieb be says would complete the works and assure an annual revenue of not less than $180, t00, St an expense of only $10,000 but he takes pains to in, part this precious bii of information '1 have understood tbat tbere are some per-soni ho to secure a water supply by I'umping from the nvtr or lake but the sap-pfy would be surcharged with lime and entirely unfit for t-ulinary or manufacturing purposes.

Vet the eugincer above quoted te.lls a people who have all their lives used well water (as many of our citizens do) containing 33 grains of solid matter to the gallon, tbat river water containing ten grains and lake water containing a much smaller quantity of solid matter are 'surcharged with lime aud entirely tutlit for culinary purposes It mav not be unprofitable to inouire a little oTtbrr into tins lime question and see whether tbe authority of the 'engineer of the gold bond holders of the Kocbester water works'' should be accepted as conclusive as to "unfit nee" ol our river water "for culinary purposes.

Chariest'. Chandler delivered a very elaborate and exhaustive lecture on water before the American Institute in January, 1871, in which he sets forth the conclusions in respect to the sanitary effects of waters of various qual-itics, at which men of science have arrived tn-long and patient investigation. He says: 1 'Tbe sanitary congress which met at Brussels tidi that water containing mure than thirty-five grains of impurity in one gallon is not v. boltsen and that there should not be mnch more than one grain of organic matter. Genes, i aajer is very far removed from these objections.

He sat further: "It is a great ad vaniaae iu makir.g tea or coffee to use water of as-ul five degree, of barduess; tbat is, containing about five grains of carbonate ot lime or iU equivalent in the gallon. Hence it at clear laarx 0acee witer bas a "great advantage making tea or coffee, over any other that is proposed for supplying the city. Hut by far the most important fact bearing directly uion the subject before this committee. Its bad nf Br. CbaBOler, in his lecture, is the Lr.

Letbeby, one of tbi iheat authorities on the sanitary relations water, considers water of moderate hardness preferable to very soft water, for domestic purposes. About six grains of carbonate of lime to tbe galloa is desirable. He finds the death rate is less in cities supplied with, moderately hard water than iu those supplied with soft water." Tbe Genesee water exactly fulfils these con-dilions: tbat is, when "the proportion of lime is near tbe maximum" (at low water) to tjUote the language af I'lofissor Lattimore, it contains 6. 8 grains of lime to the gallon. When the water is high, the lime would be proportionally lex-; Imt at all times it would tic 'about six grains of the carbonate of lime to the gallon." a proportion which one of the highest authorities on the sanitary relations of water considers as a condition of good health anu a tew death rate.

it has long been held by many men of high intelligence tbat water containing a moderate pro-tan tion of lime better aa tap test to the con- processes of nature which arealwaya going on in tbe human organism, thau water in a hu tbat element is wanting. That opinion is uos fortified, if uot conclusively established, by an accurate observer aud pains -taking statistician, wbo is also a medical expert, and it will not be shaken in tbe estimatioa of intelligent men hy the vaue and sweeping asparsipa of an engineer whose principal couceru is (very prop-eHj to rescue bix employers from a disastrous huabeial adventure.

The eare of the insane poor is one of tbe most difficult duties thrown upon society. Iosanity is an evil, which neither tbe solicitude of friends can effectually counteract, nor the luxuries of alth greatly soften. Something can be done at limes to enlighten tbe benighted intellect and provide comforts for the body wheu the diseased mind is beyond all ministry; but generally a maniac is like an untamable beast tbat is incapable of understanding enorts for his good and is likely to rend bis keeper or himself at any momeut. Such a creature may by continued watchfulness be prevented from doing or Buffering barm. He may too bave some of tbe materials of happiness secured to him and in his own wild way make use of them; but it is only in charge of the most Bkilllul and cou--ein tious physicians aud under a system scieu-tific in its scope and perfect in its details that even such partial results can be attained.

Tbe unavoidable miseries with which even private mad booses teem show bow little is the best tbat loving relatives, with the assistance of wealth, can do for their afflicted friends. When to the evil of insanity poverty is added, and the sufferer is thrown upon the state for protection, the problem of providing for his happiness, or at least his comfort, is indeed a difficult one. States have never been over sue-tv eestinl in dealing with tbe poor, but tbe complicated misery of poverty and insanity, combined atd entangled together, presents a difficulty which will need much thought aud wisdom to overcome. As far as the individual is concerned, the lesser evil may be swallowed up in tho greater, and an idiot may imagine himself as rich as Croesus, though clad in tattered rags; but as far as the state is concerned, tho misfortunes heighten eaeh other, for the unfortunate being is an unruly pauper, who, instead of the beggar's docility, may have the pride of a Spanish nobleman, the fierceness of a tijjcr and the mischievous-ness of a moakey. To take eare of the insane poor is tin a hard k.

but it never -thelecs is one tbat the Christian state must perform thoroughly. The best method to pursue in accomplishing this work ia yet to be discovered. A visit to our county insane asylum, mile some years ago, overwhelmed us with a sense of the misery, squalor and wretchedness of the inmates. We by no means wish to be uuderstood as sating that tbe inatitntiou was not as admirably arranged as circumstances would permit. Part of the evil was the natural result of the afflcitiun of tbe unfortunate patients, which no kindness could counteract.

But oursystetu is such that small asylums are multiplied all over the state, with inadequate at tendance, and often with impetfect buildings 1 and narrow grounds. Yet the expense upon each locality is heavie- than a few great central asylums provided with every advantage and appliauce that charity and science could suggest would entail. Patients affected with acute insanity are scut to such central rnsticu-tions for treatment, why should chronic oases be treated upon different pr.uciplesf BrnTAN's allegort. The Pilgrim's Progress as shown on canvas nightly at Corinthian ball, so far from loaiug its interest, is constantly attracting larger throngs. it is a must agreeable series of pictures and holds the attention of persons past tbe age when panoramic shows are usually enjoyable.

To younger people, of course, tbe views are a perpetual delight. Then, too, aside from tbe inter st of the pi aires as such, they draw attention to the beautiful story which they illustrate a story which can be read both for amusement and benefit by children and greybeards. Tbe present panorama was the result of a project conceived some four years siuee by a lew merchant of New York city whose oltjc was to prov ide au cutertaiuuieul which should furnish amusement aud at the same time exert a moral and religious influence. Theatrical managers and showmen ot all kinds pronounced the plan a failure from its yery inception even before the canvas was touched by a brush. This ouly made its success more sure, for its projectors were thereby more strongly impressed with the uecessity of making tbe undertaking one which could not but excite adiuiraitou.

Tiiey employed sach artists Leutze, Balling, Calverhouse, William Hart, Nehlig, Berger, dtc. whose genius transferred to the canvas the scenes imagined by Bunyan in a manner worthy of their immortal author. Naturally tbe expense became enormous, but this, as all the acrid knows, has been fully justified by the savces of the exhibition. We think the gen lb men who wore the parents oi tbe enterprise selected for illustration the best possible subject. It was an unhackneyed one.

It gave scope for imagination. Tbe pic-tares, if drawn in the spirit ot the allegory, wouhi be natural, novel and eutertainiug, auu yet so (Ujiaestivf of mural and religious ideas as to be inseparable trom them. The exeenrion was equal to the design. The pictured ville-gory first excites interest an interest which it never loses then awakens sympathy for the pilgrim in his course, and finally leads those who view it to propoae for tbeui (elves the same journey in order that they may reach the same eekAtial goat. It encourage men to persevere in their road to heaven, gives them hope in despondency aud make them thoughtful when tbe wind and tide act-in aB in their tar or, aud they are tn danger of supposing they have already entered the ualm hich isfoanxi only tn tbe final haven of rest.

It is an honor to America that she should bave been the first to illustrate tbe woaatertul drexii." in a manner worthy of iu beauty, simplicity, genius. The merchants of New York wbo planned the entertainment are fully repaid for their liberality ia the laughter and tear of thousands in every city where the panorama baa been shown. It baa proves! com-pxaayiv eua.cese.tul. No hat than J) exhibit Kins were given in the metropolis, liJU ia Box ton, and 150 in Philadelphia. We ran only say ia eonalasioa that no one should fail to witness the panorama.

It is still being exhibited at Corinthian hall and all who have attended are unstinted in its praise.

McConnell reply simply read the bid on Asylum and Washington streets. In the former instance a contractor's bid amounting to $5, 482 was put by the committee at 792. In tbe latter case a bid represented, at $1,015 was really $0,972, two dollars lees than the bid of the gentleman to whom they wished to give the work. Aid. Aldridge stated that when bids were opened tbe city surveyor figured upon them and tbe committee took tbe results directly from his hands.

Aid. Stebbins moved tbo previous question wtv.rh was put in force. Tbe whole matter was evealually referred to tbe law committee and city attorney with orders to report at tbe next meeting. Aid. Stone offered a resolution giving Nicholas Ochs the sum ot thirty dollars to assist him in paying tor medical attendance rendered necessary to bis daughter bv the crime recently crmmitted upon her.

and charge to she poor fund. Aid. Mandevi Whitcomb and Stebbins said they opposed the principle of voting away motey in this way. Tbey would rather give tbe money out of their own pockets, than vote away the people's money. Aid.

Stone said tbtt as chairman of the poor committee, be migbt have paid tbis sum and charged it to dishursements. It is a mere question of humanity, it sickened biui to hear men who had voted away hundreds of dollars to military companies and thousands to contractors in extras, cavil about such a matter, lhey merely wanted an opportunity to make I uncombe speeches. Tney were talking at tbe reporters, aad if those gentlemen were not present at tbe meetings of tie board there would be less of tbis useless oratory. Kelly said buudreds had been gi ten to racsfer tbe remains of a soldier from another tate hither, why hesitate about tbis He asserted bis own readiDess to give practical proof of his sympathy with the afflicted family. Aid.

Stape asked if the thirty dollars would pay the doctor's bill, and when told that it would not, but would satisly tbe party concerned, moved, by way ot amendment, that the sum be fifty dollars. Adopted. The sum of thirty-five dollars was also contributed by the aldermen iu a few minutes for tbe same purpose. Aid. Kelly offered tbe following resolution Whearas, Au ioiportaut bill having been introduced into our legislature by Hon.

i D. Lord, appointing a set of commissioners to locate and build a city hall, aud tbat bonds, uot to exceed $500, 000, shall be issued therefor. Therefore, be it resolved that his honor, Mayor Brians, is hereby requested to issue a call in all the daily papers of tbis city, iu pursuance of the above, to the tax-payers of Rochester, inviting them to meet iu City Hall, ou Mondav next.

Also, Tbat a certified copy of the above be forwarded tn Hon. George I). Lord and Hon. Jarvis Lord, and that they are hereby requested to govern themselves accordingly.

Aid. Stape moved to substitute Thursday night for Monday night. Amendment adopted and original resolution passed. Aid. Gerling asked what bad been done by ihe fire department committee to obtain a supply of water in the canal.

Aid. Kogetl, In unswar, said that from the Valley canal to tbe weigh lock water mid aot be procured on any terms. The state contractors for the improvement of the canal for that distance may bave to go to work at any moment and cannot allow the channel to be obstructed. They bad offered to pat up a dam far $1, 500 at the Valley canal, but that work would not be worth the expense. Aid.

Ms. Council said the water so procured could only be of use to run steam engines aloug the canal hank in the eleventh ward. Aid. Gerling moved that the fire department committee be instructed to procure water in the center of the city if possible at au expense not greater than $1,500. Aid.

Mandeville moved as an amendment that Aid. Gerliog be appointed as a committee of one to supply the center of the city with water for tire purposes during the rest of tbe winter, St an expense of not more ttan $1,500. Ta retoluton, as amended, waa adopted. Aid. Siebbtu stated tbat he had beeu asked by several gcntlemeu to present on this occasion Hie resolution offered hy him at the special meeting on Monday, and at that time declared out of orstr.

Tbis resolution we have already published. It providies for the election ot a convention of law delegate from each party for tbe amend -ment 04 oar city charter. Tbe measure was lost. The finance budget was adopted without reading. AM.

Mauder moved the snspension of the penal ordinance in regard to the sale of foreign Ituita, nnltil next June. Aid. Boeder moved tbe reeisioro of the resolution spoointing Aid.
