300 Head of Oattie, 160 Tons of Hay. The session thismorning was some wubit jmuiuucu on account 01 a jury A peculiar ipecimen of the Emerald Isle, called Peter Malone, for poisoning his peritoneum with barley Juice of un usual strength, was confined in a "lone. some danreon" for six dreary davs. James Oallagher, a pleasant looking wonae 01 some or odd summers. was brought beforethe Court for begging a new suit of clothes, or somethine of the sort.

'The affable manner of the prisoner, and his total 'irresponsibility to comprehend anything going on about him, induced His Honor to exercise utue clemency toward Mm. He was therefore allowed the free air in which to repeat the offense. Charles prepossesing bru nette who wanted to annihilate Officer Summers and every body in the vicinity some night -tost -week, was allowed to perambulate a nice cold cell for thirty days, i Charles bore the occupation with intellectual heroism. B. N.

Bogocich and H. Hauchsted were arraigned for an alleged violation of the license law, in disposing of liquors in quantities less than one quart without first taking out the usual license. A good deal of time was taken up in impannel-ing a jury. There was no paucity of excuses on the part of jurors to serve, and the consequence -was, many were allow ed to depart. Finally the terrible twelve were obtained.

Gfeo. Putnam testified that he entered the saloon to get a cup of coffee, and it took him two hours to drink it; the accommodating cook sandwiched a little whisky between each mouthful of coffee. Both of the defendants were absent at the time. Mr. Valentine went into the saloon for coffee, but forgot to call for that stimulating beverage, and took whisky.

He was uncertain whether one man gave it to him or not. Oeorge Miller also purchased Bome coffee and mixed it with whisky. Mr. Johnson, license collector, testified that he took out a license for the firm for an eating saloon only. Mr.

Bogocich, one of the defendants. said he had kept liquor upon the premises till the first of January, but finding that the license rates prevented him from making anything on it, he discon tinued the sale, bottled up his intoxica ting beverages, and stowed them in a little closet under the counter. The cook, "unbeknown to him," had sold tbe lionor to various. TUirHpa TTa hnA forgotten to remind said book that he had discontinued the sale of exhilerating pconcoctions, consequently cook sold 'em. He himself has not sold liquors since the first ultimo, and he hod not authorized any one to do so upon his premises.

H. Jttaugbsted, his partner, corrob orated bis testimony. The Prosecuting Attorney then arose, and after wiping his nose, began his remarks on behalf of "ns dear people." He contended that the law had been violated by the defendants, and that the placing of the liquors in a closet under the counter was but a subterfuge on the part of defendants to clandestinely evade the license ordinance. He went on in this manner, protecting our rights, and urging the jury to do their duty. The counsel for the defendants hu morously endeavored to split the theory of the P.

and contended that the offense was so' trivial and un sustained by proof that defendants intended a violation of th law, that his American bosom hove with unspeakable delight as as he saw "acquittal" stamped upon the faces of the jury. (We thought it was dirt but it may have been shadows cast from the opposite windows). He grew rather personal at one time, and we thought the Prosecuting Attorney was going to bounce him; but he didn't The counsel then tackled dates Baying that the indictment and ordinance conflicted but he would let that pass. So confident was he that the jury thought as he did, that, he didn't throw himself particularly another thing we regretted, for if there is anything that makes the heart of a reporter palpitate witb delight, it is to see a lawyer unbutton his sum collar, ana go lor the opposing counsel till the sweat trickles down into the seat of his pants. But this one re sumed his chair without a trickle.

The P. A. again arose, and with a troubled anxiety surmounting his Shaks- pearean ioreneau, closed bis argument. He dissected the testimony of the defendants, and threw the pieces into the faces of the jury. This they couldn't stand, so His Honor put us all out of the Court room to allow the parties concerned to settle the thing among them selves.

The jury remained, and after hob-nobbing together awhile, concluded that the defendants were "guilty as charged," and were consequently ordered to pay $20. each. In the face of the evidence, the verdict created no little surprise. It is understood the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. overland" arrivals to-night.

Kellogg moved that Miss Buel be declared a reg nlar teacher from January 1st. from the Home Mutual Insurance Company; announcing that policy of 95,000 on the High School would expire on the 8th of February. Kef erred. Mr. Swett stated that the chimney tops on the High School had been thrown down by the gale, and that the Commit tee had terra cotta chimney pipe substi tuted.

The enrollment and attendance since the beginning of the present school year July 1, 1874, shows that the greatest enrollment was made in January, that has ever been made in our public schools, being 2,938.

The average daily attendance at the night school last month was 20. 1 Miss Clow was granted leave of ab sence for one month, and the Superin tendent was authorized to fill the vacancy for that time. The Board refused Prof. Espina per mission to. teach penmanship during school hours.

R'toived, That from and after such separation tbe salaries of the teachers of those classes be iucreased 25 per cent.

After few feeling remarks by Mr. Howell, and on his motion, the Twenty-Eighth Street School was changed to that of the Durant School. Bills were read and referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. Playter moved that the Superin tendent be requested at the next meeting to offer suggestions as to the means of enforcing the provisions -of the law known as 'tha Comnnlsorv.
