Cieary wanted the South Town asscesment referred back to the Assessor, and urzed that the valuation of certain firms was out of all reas Mr. Lradley said the Tent WAS OutraCous. and cited several persons who had been assessed on property they did not own, etc. zerald contended that, if the citizens of uth Divison hud been overasseused. it was tneir own fauit. They hud all had the opporiunity to ~chedule, and xubseqaently to have the ussess- went reviewed, and if they bad failed 1o do teir duty neither the Assessur nor the Committe snould be blamed. Some further discussion followed. and finally the report of the Committee was adopted by o vote of 12 to 3. Those voting in the negative were Messra, Cleary, Mulloy, and Spotford, A SMALL ROW. The pay-roll of the County Agent's office for August was presented, amounting to 55652 and 4 motion to suspend the fules and_allow it provoked an angry discussion. Me: “leary and W ieeler attacked the pay-roli and violently assailed the Comuittee on Public Charities forits extravagance. They claimed that while the Board had ordered a valuation, the Commitiee had increased the help. and this to take care of their pets.

Sixth Annual Congress of the Soclety fer the * Advancement of Womna. Five years ago a uumber of the earnest women of the country, viewing the failure, through lack of conference and organiza- tion, of the growing interest .in the vital social problems of the day to accom- plish large and - practical results, issued a call for a Congress of Women to assemble in New York for the purpose of organizing an as- sociation waich should bring togetner women from all parts of the country for mutual coun- sel, sugzestion, and the adoptlon of methods for the discussion and clucidation of zreat social questions. 1o respouse to this call a meeting was held in New York, the result of which was the orzanization of *The Association for the Advaucement of Women.” Since then annual mectings have been held in New York, Syra- cuse, Chicago, Philadeiphia, and Cleveland, and the sixth annual Congress wul be held at Providence, R.

The list includes several papers on the various subjects of education, science, literature, ~and art, the housebold, - industries, health, and idress, finance, charity, and reform, and miscellaneous’ topics. Papers this year will beread by some of rhe ladies most vrominently counccted with the movement, and, from their known reputations as thinkers and'writers, will be fuily up to the standard. On the subject of education, contributions are expected from Miss Annma C. Brackett, Mrs. E£mily S. Forman, 2nd others: on the subject of science, papers from Mrs. Mary ‘Treat, Mrs. Maria L. Owen, Mrs. Maxwell, and others; on art. papers from Mrs. Kate N. Dogeett, Miss Helen A. Enstman, aod others; on journalism, from Mrs. E. K. Churchill; on social sclefice, from Miss Abby W.
