Me. Key remarked that Mr. Olds’s expecta- tion in the other establishment ought not to work to the discredit of his testimony. Rey. Mr. Sunderland deposed: juld not recall all the conversations on subject; could not say whether the institution that has a charter is the new or the old one; an effort is being made to get up an institution, and deponent’s name is among others for the pur- ; at the last meeting of are Board - Di- rectors Mr Olda was present; he was there, haps, from something that had been said to im a few days before; no proposition was made to him about being connected with the institution; thought it would be premature to say anything of the sort; does not think Dr. ry le any pro} DB; Dr. Olds, as depo- nent discovered from his first conversation, came to see Prof Henry, of the Smithsonian. about a system of instruction he (Mr. O ) had in hand; deponent does not know much about this; some questions were asked of Dr. Olds about the treatment of the children at Dr. Skinner’s, but does not remember that any- thing in particular was elicited from him— nothing either to modify or confirm what had been heard elsewhere; Mr Olds said he had come hither with a view to submitting a plan of instruction to Prof. Henry, and he intends locating an institution in western New York; had never heard of any preferment or office that had been tendered him; it would have been premature; never heard Mr.O say any- thing reflecting on Dr Skinner’s school or character; cannot say if any subscriptions bad been kept back on account of the new movement; a person had called on deponent, and deponent said something abont money; cannot say if Mr. John P.

Mr Josh B. Moore, for defence.—Lives in the First Ward; is a druggist; knows Dr. Skinner: had seen the children in the Presi- dent’s grounds and other occasions, and they looked very cheerful and pleasant; they were apparently happy children; Dr. Skinner some- times made exhibitions of the children; depo- nent thought they looked as comfortable, at least, as other poor children; deponent thought they had stout shoes on; deponent knew a few of the deaf and dumb signs; does not knowthe sign for hunger; would not suppose the chil- dgen wanted food; they were as frolicsome as other children; deponent had farnished medi- eines to Dr Skinner’s family; he did this gra- taitously; the valuc of the medicines was $8 or $10; a portion of it was fora sick woman, viz: the most expensive part—quinine; depo nent thinks the children were happy; was never at Dr. Skinner’s house; had not the op- portunity, from close attention to business; Bever was in the house, and can say nothing as to their eating or sleeping, &c. Mr. Davidge proposed to put in the baker’s, butcher’s and grocer’s bills as vouchers to show the amount of consumption in the fami- I He also proposed to examine the children themasteen, to ascertain what is their real wish about staying with Dr Skinner Judge Morsell said that if thechildren were under no undue influence he knew of no im- propriety in examining them. Dr. Skinner must be out of the room during their exam- ination, and there must be an interpreter. Mr. Key did not consider that the testimony of the children could be depended on; they were under Skinner’s influence and will; the only proper dependence is on the witnesses. After a considerable delay, Dr. Skinner brought Mrs. Hipkins to act as an interpreter of the children’s signs. She was accordingly sworn. The boy John Quinn was first examined.— Is a pupil of Dr. Skinner’s echool; wants to stay with Dr Skinner; loves Dr. Skinner; had enough to eat; had meat, butter, bread, rice, milk, and meal; Doctor whips the children sometimes, with a horsewhip; sometimes there are little marks or soars; never cuffed him with his fist; Dr. Skinner had whipped him for not attending to bis boak, and for stealing sad lying; was not cold; was warm in bed. {Deponent could not be made to understand question put to him as to whether he was atraid to — freely about Dr. Skinner | James enry, another mute, examined.— Loves Dr Skinner; has plenty to eat; is clothed warm enough; does not wish to leave him; wants to stay; sleeps warm enough. Ann zyme: i, examined.—Testified al- most precisely as the last child; Dr. Skinner whips her a little; he had never scarred her, or bruised her nose; whipped her with the cowhide a few times. Joseph White, mute, examined.—Answered substantially the same as James Heary. Josephine Jenkins, the little blind g x- amined. —Likes Dr. Skinner; has plenty to eat; Dr. Skinner gives her the best he has; feels warm; wants to stay with him; always has enough to eat; sometimes rice and bread, ~ milk, and sometimes corn pudding, milk, tatoes; as much as she can eat; . Skinner never whipped maa ir bread and Bo meat; [Mr Key then asked her if Dr 8k told her to say anything’when the would ask her | oye She said told me to say I loved him best of all; her to say, if anybody asked her if she wi to stay with Dr Skinner, to say yes.) She had heard the other children whipped; had heard the blows. {In answer to Mr. Davidge : Dr Skinner bad told ber to tell the truth. } Mr. sworn—Dr Skinner had dealt with ae ever since he came to the city; he had lived in the First Ward and at Ken- dall Green; deponent does not know the pre- eise-house; Dr. 5. came to d ts to get bread; did not come every day; Dr. 8 wanted an account to show how mu h he paid & week forthe children; deponent thought the bill would be a fair ratio; it was for one week in Uctober last and came to $6; deponent could but from this one week.

Hillard, Esq., on Pennsylvania avenue. The rooms were very handsomely and tastefully decorated, a conspicuous feature of which was the beautiful banner of the “ Young Men’s Democratic Club of San Francisco,’’ which was borne in the inauguration procession, and which was so much admired on that occasion. The banner was the gift of the ladies of San Francisco to the Club for their adhesion to the constitution and laws during the excite- ment which that city was the scene of in May and June last, and is one of the most chaste and clegent affairs of the kind we have ever seen. pwards of fifty Californians were resent ; and after spending the evening in the interchange of g humor and kindly senti- ment an elegant supper wae served by Adams, of “Social Hall,’’ at the conclusion of which the bike aot retired in the best possible spirits, having spent a most delightful evening. Tus Mecuanic’s Insritore Farr was again crowded last night, and the enjoyment with one exception, seemed to be general. It is certainly worth one’s while to visit the Fair, and at the same time it is a great thing to know how to enjoy the sights to the best ad- vantage, and if the crowd that nightly bloeks up the passages through the exhibition room would observe one good old-fashioned rule when there the pleasure of the scene would be very much enhanced—simply to “* Keep to the right, as the law directs,” and thereby en- sure a free passage at any time, however dense the multitude to any part of the build- ing. The thing is very easily done, and if put in practice would contribute largely to the pleasure of all.
