G. Lane, County Superintendent of Schools, bas been Danded us. It is a neatly-printed, and carefully (prepared pamphlet of 83 octavo .pages. It con- ‘tains “the generalitiea ordinarily found in such documents, * with tabulated statements of the Teceipts and expenditures of each township in the County. Mr. Lane congratulates the peo- plethat certain obatacles in the way of educational progress have boen removed, chief of which he considers the employment of winter and sum- mertteachers. Inmostof the schiools, teachers aro em ployed steadily for the whole year. There aré 195 echools in the county, with an aggregata of 535 Directors. The report favors a change, of which the Superintendent speaks as follows : . I beliewne that the school interests of the county wonld be advanced by adopting tho township organiza- tion of echools, making each township a achool dis- trict. TheTown of n (tako'as an illustra- tion) has tity-seven school officers, whilo all other affsirs aro mansged by.six town officers, T firmly bo- leve - that the achools of each fownship! would be smore succssfully. and judiciously managed by a Board &f Education’ of six members. “The new School 12w, which went Into effect on July 1, 1872, made some iz changes, Hareafter school ‘moneys will be distributedsto counties, towns, md dis- tricta in proportion:to themumber of Hersons under 21 years of age. This plan of apportionmentis just and ‘aquitable, excopt in'the di vision or the pabléc funds in tricts, where funds orrzht to be divided, one-half on the attendance as cel on the echedules, snd one~ half according to the Tmber of childron fn the dis- trict, This would® encourage and asaist achool dls- tricta to continue school ore than the five months actually demanded byilsw. y It is advised that ;zch township should have » High School, and ut is remarked that the Townuhig of Jeffersun, Lake, and Hyde Park all have High Schoold in successful operation. At present too muchyof the time of the teacher is taken up in instructizig & few advanced schol~ ars to the neglect of the rest of the school. The new lawy makes it the fmperative duty of the Di- rectors to adopt some eystem of text-books, and insist upon uniformity. "It still further provides thatgtext-books shall nof\ Be changed oftener thamronce in four years. M is advised that Di- rectors < and ~ teachers observe the law, and when » change is imperative only © securs the best text-books. The destruction of the assessment books, in the great fire, very grestly embarrassed the schools of the county duriag the year. The Di- rectors decided that they would_ continue the schools, aud in accordance with a provition of the Stafe law, issued districk- orders bearing 10 per centinterest to pay curwent expenses. * Most lysbeen paid from the taxes of 1671, A 5 The Cook County Normal Schiool is declared to have exceeded the expectation of its friends.

The Nellie Port Case Decided Against the Claimant. O S A Sermon for Certain Ladies and Gentlemen, Bankruptcy Notes---The Perfum- ery War Reopened. The interesting caso of the unfortunate Nellie Port was decided, a3 far as the Blate. Court is concernod, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, Judge Farwoll dismissing the bill, and declaring |no marrisge. The matfer is interesting, as Judgo Farwell intimated, to large numbers of people who are living in & state similar to that of the complainant, and the deceased Silas W. Port, The Court, after spending considerablo time in flllt{ng the case, proceeded to consider the manner in which marriages should be proved 1n cases liko that before him. Ho said that, whether it was attempted to be ehown that a marriage had taken place, by a promise between man and woman, or that the partics had be- come man and wife, although no ceremony had been performed, all the circumstances connected with the manner in which such an &l loged marrisge had been made ehould be made clear and beyond doubt. The evidence of the frionds of the partles would naturally be the beat in a case like this, and the absenco of, such evidence on the part of the complainant was at least suspicious. If there was anything to be said by thoso who knew the parties in support of the allegation that & promise of marriage had bocn made, they had failed to bring those persons forward. But, ron the contiary, it was testified that the friends, +both of the man and woman, felt offended with +the manner of their life, made efforts to ter- minate it, and found fault with thom; the ‘woman's own uncle found fsult with her for liviog with him, and his friends found fault '“llh and legal proceedings were threatened to be taken sgainet- them for living together i g tog! in & mannor contrary to law. If this cose do- pended upon the proof alone of the promiso of marriagejand the obsorvance of such promise, if the decision of the Court depended upon the tes- timony of thoso porsons who were supposed to know in what manuer these two were living to- gether, thers was littlo doubt that it would be against the complainant. But this was not the case ; there were other features of the marriage claimod that had to bo considered; and there was other ovidence besides that of the relatives to which due weight must be given. It was a most singular circumstance that, of those who fnva testimony as to the fact that Port had in- roduced the complainant to them as his_wife, four were policemen. It did look as though Port, knowing the danger he was in from fhe threats;of his friends, took every opportunity to make them believe that the person he was living with was his legally married wifo, and not a psramonr, a8 his friends seemed to consider- her, in order that he might escspe the consequences of the infraction of law with which he was charged. It did not always follow that becauso a man said he was married to a woman, because parties called themselves man and wifo, that they wero lawfully married; nor, if they registered themselves in a hotel as Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so, did that fact make them man and wife. In all countries it was possibly the case that many peoplo travelled in each otber's society, stopped at hotels, and were in- troduced into company, as husband and wifo, who were nothing of the. eort. . Buch things were common all over the world; so that. {rom tho testimony which had been adduced, he did not think that there had beon any_evidence of & true marriage. It only remained to con- sider whether such a state of facts existed, in the absenco of evidence, a8 would sustain the allegation of & promise of marriage. He held that euch & contract between aman and a woman would be good in cownmon law, but the facts ‘must be c} mgg proved. It waslaid down, also, 28 good law, thatif 8 man and woman solemnly agreed with each other to take each other 23 man and- wife, that is to say, not that they are man and wife, but thoy will be man and wife, and that this promise is followed by sexual intercourse, then that they are married. That waa tho claim in this case. The complainant had said in her evidence (and hero His Honor referred to the evidence at some length) that Silas W. Port had promised he would ‘merry her—s future promise—and that sha could néver get him to name the day for the e hen whose life and death- performance of the ceremony. She had also admitted that she did not know that she wes married by _any promisos that bnd passod, and this the other sido had Inid much stress on, and that what she understood by a marriage was & cremeny in & church or by & Justice. Rut however she might look at the question, no matter whether she con- sdered that she was marricd, or that eho was unmarried, it was immaterial ; if it was the law thet they were married, what he andshethought of it was of no consequence. Next, astotha aw on the point s to whether thcre is a marriage where all that there is of it is & promise t> mar- ry in the future. In examining into this question he found it extremely difi- cnlt to eatisfy his mind as towhether & marriago covld be made fully and legallyin thet manner., ‘The Supreme Courts of New York and Ohio had decidod that a fature promise is not amarrisge ; Parsons on contracts seomed to incline to_the Bamo opinion, and there was langusge in Kont that would indicate that his opinion was differ- ent. Ho did not think, where his mind was un- eatiafied, that it was necessary for him to under- take to decide this matter, especially a8 the bill could* not be eaved on that point alone. Pat Ec thought it boest to say that ho held that a marrisge did not necessarily ex-~ int because- of & mere future promise. . It the causo was dependent’ upon this issue ony, it was quite likely that ho ehould rulo ngsinst it. If such a stato of things existed, it would do away with the cause of those actions at law which checkedor punished seduction, and breach of promiseof marriage followed by sexual inter- course. But in this case this was not all there was of it. It wasclaimed not only that thero was foture promise, Lut consummation also. To. sustain such a claim, this.consummation must be shown to havo been intended to be con- summation by the parties. The mera isolatod fact of sexual intercourse between the man and woman, does not prove that the promise of mar- riage wau being consummated. If therewas & promise to marry, if, for instance, one should Bay to the other 1 take you for my husband,” and the other, I take you to be my wife,” and this had_been followed by sexual intorcourse, under this rule of law, it would make marriage. But all the evidonce went to show that the man considered that ho was not married, that he had not up to the time of his death done anything that wonld make her his wife. If he made the promise to marry her, and thero was never anything done to consummato, ex- copt sexual intercourse; if he said they would be married at some future time, but kept on putting off the time ; that looked 8s though tho consummation had not yet been accomplished ; and he did not think "thatthey were married. Their friends did not threaten them because they did not marry, but because they lived to- gether, not being married. Wherever he looked in the evidence he could only find that the man was never willing to do that act that ehould make the woman his wife; to name the d:; when their marrisge should take place. H o consulted bis foelings, he would have becn glad if he could have found other ways of de- Ciding this case, but with the law and evidence ‘before him ho had no course but to dismiss the omplainants counsel sppesled from the de- cinon artinosts of ovidents to be given in 80 days. - BANEBUPTCY MATTEES.

Consultation Between City Oficlals as to the Beat Mode of Ralsing Money for Water aud Sewernge Purposes. In accordance with a resolution of the Com- mon Council, prased Sept. 23, tho Finance and Judiciary Committees of that body, the Msyor, Corporation Counel, Commissioners Carter and Prindiville, of the Board of Public Works, In- spectors Roynolds and Hoard, of the Board of Health, and Dr. Rauch, Sanitary Superintend- ent, met yestorday afternoon at 8 o'clock in the City Clerk’s office to consider the best mode of increasing the sewerage and water. systems of the city. Alderman Richardson was called to preside. Mr. Carter said that additional legislation was necessary to obtsin increased sowerage anda better water supply. He thought that, with the _one-mill tax, the city could raiso 3300,000 for sewage and water purposes, but that it would require $400,000 to $450,000, for sewage alono— that was the amount expended previous to the fire. He was of the opinion that small ppro- priations led to the formation of *rings” b; contractors and others employed to do the worl. Mr. Clark, the Superintendent of Sew- eroge, had snid that it ‘would require 2450,000 & year for sewago purposes, at an average cost of $20,000 per mile, The speakar thought that, with the additional helf mill tax for water purposes, and & simfar sum for sew- ers, the city could get along comfortably. Pre- vious .to the great fire, the income from the water supply was 3400,000 to 500,000 per year, but it had sinee been reduced to about 3250,000. Mayor Medill 8aid that under tha‘preseut Iaw the tax was derived from the city valuation, but - noxt year it was probable that tho income would have to be raised from & State valuation. The Iatter valuation was less than the former—at the rate of about 1 t0.3,—which was not adaquzte. The Sanitary Suporintendent, Dr. Rauch, pre- sented his lately-published report on rewerage, and proceaded to review. some of its recommon- dations, aud with tho aid of s city map, showed 'where sewers were most needod. He recomeaded the construction of 142,000 feet of cewage.- This, Commissioner Prindiville remarked, would cost §4J!=r foot—3568,000 for the whole amount requirod. The Chairman called upon Mr. Tuley for his ogxmon as to the mannorin which tho monoy should beraised, and that gentleman said that the difficultyhad been that the necessity for sewerago . had been in excess of the abil of the citizens to pay for the amount required. If appropristions enough were made for seworage, the rate of taxation became 80 enormous tha the people would not bear it. Under the present law he thought there was no doubt of tho right of the city to build sewers under the special assessment eystem. He bolieved it would be difficult to construct sewers under spacial assese- ments in some cases, and by genoral taxation in others. Bevwors had been constructed out of the general fund, and now it would be difficult to pursue any other course. If tho Council could be brought to adopt the special as> sessment system, all tho sewers required could be buil, but he did not be- liove the Aldermen would agree to it. He thought it was very probable that the result of the action of the General Assembly would be to repealall charter limitations as to the rate of taxation and zsscssments, and leave it to the cities to doas they pleased. He closed by recom- mending the Aldcrmen to urge our Btate legis- Intors to obtain the passage of a special law to. enable ua to raise a sufficient sum with which to ‘build sewars. The Chairman esid he understood Mr. Tuley to say that he doubted the authority of the city to raise money for sewerage purposes, and there- fore recommended special legislation. The Committee then adjourned to meet again On.Thflrl!hK next, at 3 p. m., for s further dis- cussion of the sewerage question. * Can Animals Count? M. Houzean says : The mule is supposed tobe ablo to count as far as five, at least; and this is considered to be established by the following ob- servation : Thers is a short branch line of omni- buses in New Orleans; whoro each mule makes the journoy five times successively beforezboing changed. The veterinery surgeon of these ani- mals called attentior to the fact that at the end of each of the first four journeys they are silent, tut as they approach the end of the fifth they neigh. But this is not satisfactory. The end of the fth trip may bo marked by preparations for feeding the animals, which they hear or smell at a distance, and these may have produced respon- sive neighs.—Scribner's, for Fel ry. otobadtoalisl bl e b, —The whole number of Massachusetts vete- rans entitled to soldiers’ diplomas is 164,000, of which 138,000 were of the army, and 26,000 of the navy: Of this number, 24,000 diplomas have been issued to soldiera’and their families, and 1,100 to eailors, leaving 139,000 to be issued whenever called for. " g THE FOUNDLING'S HOME. Second Anniversary of Its Estabe “lishment. Report of the Superintendent, Dr. Shipman. Addraslei and Supper. The second anniversary of the establishment of ths Foundlings’ Home was celebrated yester- day ovening in the parlors of the Home at-the corner of Sangamon and Randolph streets.” In addition to those officially connected with the Home, a large number.of Iadies and gentlemen, who take an interest in it, wero prescot. The Rev. Dr. Powers, President of the Board of Di- rectors, acted 8 Chairman. The Rov. Dr. A. E. Kittredge prayed, and then the Presidont read the report of Dr. Shipman, Superintendent of tho Home, from which ap- pears that during the last year 226 babies were reccived into the Home, nearly twica as many as during the previous year. When the house wag opened, it was the intention toreceive such child- ren only 28 would bo otherwise thrown into the river - or under tho sidewalk; but it Dhas boen found that _other children noed shelter, and a home, berido tho unfortunate ones above referred to, and those | leftin the basket have been taken in and cared forwithout exception. Many of theso were le- gitimate childron. One was sent beosuse tho {fother was gone, and the mother was dying or doad ; another, because the family was already largo and too much straitened to care for an- otherinfant ; one was sent to the Home from Da Quoin, at the dying request of his mother, and 6o, from various csuses, mwany children have been sent in, who, in no proper sense, are found- lings. Of thoee left at the Home, a considorable number have been returned to their parents. In =1l such cases, where application is medo before the child hasbeen given awzy, it is returned to its nataral {rotoctm, thougly, by & bill which passed our Legislature Iast winter, and which went into effect July 1, 1879, children left at the Home become tho Ioiu property of the Home. A large number of babies have beon given away. Tho greatest care has been taken fo seo thatspplicants forchildren are capable andsworthy. Two written cortificates are required, ome that the applicant is_able, pecuniarily, to rear the child, and the other, that, he (or she) can give the cbild a Christian education. In May last the Home was incorporated undor & goneral act of the Legislature, the following nzmed gentlemen -having consented to_act as corporators: Thos. C. Dickerson, John Dilling- ha, Rev. C, D. Helmer, Wm. G. Hibbard, 8. A. Kean, Rov. A. E, Kittredge, J. L. Pickard, Rev. H. N. Powers, D.D., Geo. E. Shipman. This will effect no change in the policy or basis of tho Homo. Having been elected Superinten- dent by the corporators, the manegement of its affaira atill rest in Dr. Shipman’s handa. A more immediate and practical reeult of tho incorporation was the donation of 310,030 by tho Cbicago Reliof and Aid Socicty, with the pro- viso that it should be invested in real estate, for the benefit of tho Homo. Pursuant to this pro- vision, & lot was purchased on Wood street, south of Madison, 84x104, and £3,000 was paid down, Tho balaice of the purchase money, 85,000, is in & mortgage, which has five years to run. Pians for building were obtained as soon 23 practicablo, but, with all possible_diligence, winter set in before the walls could be com- pleted. 1t is hoped thatin a few weeks, or days, perhaps, the work may bo resnmed. Tbe build- Ing, with its heating apparatus, will not cost far from $30.000, and will accommodate fifty chil- dren, with twenty attendants. In addition to the work within the Homs, a monthly record of the doings of the Home has been published during the past year. The cir- culation of this paper is now about 1,500, be- sides 1,000 which aro distributed monthly by the Young Men's Christian Association, in what they call their dopot work. A little book of some eighty pages, being & republication of & series of religious meditations, published from month to month in the Record, under the titls of “XMusings,” has also been published during the past year. The cbildren, during the past Joucy bsve been, for the most part, under Dr. Shipman's care, though he has had the aesistance, at varions timos, of Dre. R. N. Foster, T. C. Duncan, and H. N.'Small. Tho diseases of the eve and ear hsve been under the care of Dr. Woodyatt. As for pecnniary matters, the Homo has re- ceived during the past year 217,445.14: more than 31,700 of this money was received through the Ladiss’ Union Aid Society, and 810,000 from. the Chicago Relief and Aid Society. This Iatter has been expended, as alresdy stated. The residuoc has been laid out for the Home. Tho Chairman then introduced the Rev. C. D. Helmer, of the Union Park Church,who 8aid that theinstitution needed no advocacy, yet if an; word of his would help it he would give it. It was a Christian _institution, for it took care of helplessness. God cared more for the uncared for, than all tho rest. If ono or two babies made 80 much happiness it 30 many thousand homes in Obicago, how much joy thersmust be in tha Foundling's Home, where they bave fifty, It Would be agood place to board, if he were & » bachelor. Thoso engaged in that blessed work must have oven more joy than parents. To love the children of others Wwas to reach the heightof Christianity. He loved the way the Home was carried on and the {fzith which it showed. They would find assur- ance that it would be carried on to gerleclion, and that its new building would soon be finished. He trusted that present would say a good word for the institution, and did not be- lieve they would contravone Dr. Shipman's views by doing so0. Tho President expressed the wish that poople would buy the book and tracta referred to in the roports,—not merely to aid the Home but since they woro good reading. Miss Eva Adams sang the Angels’ Lullaby. Dr. Kittredgo was called on to spesk but de- clined, thioking the folks would rather Lear the ‘babies cry than tho ministers talk. He had, be- fore he Was married, preached s eermon on how to raise children, but now that he had some of his own, he was willing to sell iz} cheap. Ho had mo advice to give Dr. Shipman. Many persons ware getiing dovelopod. in Ghris- tian graces through the Homo. Thare were Iadios present who loved the Savior more by reason of their cxertions for the Home. They were not to bo thanked, since they had dons only thoir duty. Dr. Shipman waa doing s good work for the churches, and for the Iadies. He was tenching people how to pray. It was long beforo he himself had learned fo pray baving long done it as ho unsed to manage his father's old pnmp where tho water came only after long trying. Prayer had become to mauy = mere religious exercise, but the Doctor show- ed what God meant when He said ‘‘ Ask and yo shall receive.” The Doctor had taught him many lessona for which he thanked him. They would please the Doctor far more, by fervent morning and evening prayers for tho success of the Home than they would even by contribu- tions. The guests visited the babies, who were found in'excellent condition, and the servicos were concluded by an excellent supper. SPECIAL NOTICES. A New Departure in DMedicine.
