Acopted. Mr. Wilson called up the mittee on premiums, and Mr. Holmead moved to amend the report by & premium of a mena tor = ciency im vocal music. r. Utermeble wanted to know what kii & medal should be given. He thought eae should be made a subordinate study, and nos take rank above other studies, and if a medal 1. to be given let it be of silver. Mr. Holmead argued there was no study Which gave such tone to the character of the’ pupil #s the study of music. All that the com- mite on music asked was that a medal should be given without stating what kind or what p ice of medal. That can be fixed afterwards. Mr. Utermeble stated that he wanted the prices of all premiums to be given now fixed, and then there would be no trouble in fature. He thought it well at this time to revert to the past and correct many of the mistakes of last year. He instanced the purchase of books, which, in many tpstances, cost more than the prices fixed by the trustees. The teachers themeelves made the purchases, and that was pil wrone: The trustees should rale in this matter. Mr. Wight stated that he desired the word medal to be inserted as@ greater stimulus to study than timply saying a premium. Mr. Morell stated that he, as the member of the committee on supplies who was with the purchase of the books for premiums, gave a number of teachers authority to go to Mr. Ballantyne’s store and purchase books, as there were not enough in the Possession of the Board. But it was understood that the books were to be furnished at publisher's price. Mr. Morrell agreed with Mr. Utermehle relative to the award of a medal, feets aed prs the amendment was wi rawn ir. Holmead, and the repo: Was adopted. J 2 . <1 Mr. Wilson moved that the committee be au- therized to have 100 copies of the report print- ed, ond thateach school be supplied with a copy. Carried. r. Utermeble derired to know from the committee on books, whether the change Ppro- posed was to be immediate. This question created considerable discus- sion, Mr. Mier (charman of committtee on Books) ‘understood the change was to be posi- tive relative to the substitution of Davies’ for Greenleaf’s arithmetics; but as tothe use ef Worcester’s epeller instead of Swann's, he did not think the latier need be necessarily thrown out entirely. The understanding of the other members of the committee was, however, different, and it was theretore decided positively that all the booke used last year were to be used the com- ing one, except that in all the schools, Davies’ arithmetics and works on mathemstios were to be substituted for Greenlasfs, and in the intermediate schools, Worcester’s ‘imary dic- tionary instead ot Swann’s epeller. Davies’ Works sre to be of the revised edition of 1463, It was ordered that 100 copies of the stot books to be used be printed, to be distributed to theechools, Mr. Millerstated that the understanding with the publishers of Davies’ works was that they were to be introduced entirely on theirown merite, and they were to be furnished the pa- pile at one half the retail price. The number of books contracted for was, 500 for the pri- mary schoole; 1620 for the secondary schools, and 960 for the grammar and intermediate schools. After @ further discussion relative to a change in other books, the Board adjourned. ae eee Levy Court.—On Monday the court met at the City Hall. A communieation was received from Mrs. Isherwood and — Bartroff, asking a remission of taxes on their property for the past year, as the same was in the possession of the Government; which request was refused, the cougt having no power to remit taxes. Dr. Nichols Peerage & communication from the trustees of the 7th primary school district, asking that an amount be appropriated to for the echool-house built by them in Union- ‘ORppropribiisns amounting to about $3,000, were made for the repair of various roads in the county. A large number of accounts were passed and ordered to be paid, Mr. Blagden called up the bill w prevent Sabbath breaking in the county, which was aeeed. The bill provides that noperson with- n the jurisdiction of the court shall profane the Sabbath by playing at game of cards. dice, or game of hazard for money or anything in lieu thereof, or shall suffer or poe any such fames te bs played in their houses or upon any lands in their occupation or possession, under @ penalty of $10 for each offence. The ordinance authorizing the President of the Court to grant licences was taken upand passed. The bill prohibits any person (except pedlara licensed by the Court) to sell or barter any goods, wares or merchandise within the county outside of Washington ana George- town, aud authorizes the President to grant licenses to retailers of goods, &e., with the ex- ception of intoxicating drinks, at 610 per year. A penalty of $0 is imposed for a violation of the provisions of the act. The resolution to allow Justices of the Peace & compensation of ten per cent.on all fines heretofore imposed and paid into the court for violations of the act of Congrees, prohibiting the sale of liquors totoldiers, was passed. A iesolution was adopted, authorizing the appointment of a committee of two to name the difler@nt roads ot the county. The committee on improvements was author- ized to remove any supervisor who may neglect his duties after five days notice, and appoint # temporary successor, to be reported to the next meeting of the Court. A resolution was adopted authorizing the ap- pointment of a committee to examine and re- porta generaleystem of license, based upon the laws of Georgetown, Washington and the United Staies. The President (Mr. Sargent) reported that in compliance with « resolution directing him to represent to the military authorities the condi- tion of the roads and ask for aid; he had waited on the Military Governor, Gen. Martindale. He repreeented that the roads were never ins weree conditicn, and that the Court had made firenuous efforts to put them in repair, bat now tound itimpossible to procure the neces- fary lutorers. While co few laborers could be procured the smountof labor required upon the roads ha: been vastly increased by the ex- tacrdinary dry and compact condition of the soil; the effect of long continued dry weather. Acd has been asked from the military authori- hes, and they bad reason to expectthat laborers irom the contrsband camp, and wagons aad \eame would bave placed at the disposal of the Court; but in this they had been disappointed. From the experience of last winter, the wear und tear of wagons, horses, and mules, it was not doubted but that the proper authorities would co operate with the court. The court still hope that the long soughtaid will be given them, although now too late in the season cept to pravel the roads. The court sugges! jhattwo roads lading from the city (Four- tenth and Seventh street,) can be materially relieved by cpening a military road from the city te Forts Bunker Hill, Slemmer, Totten, and Slocum. The route suggested is already eurveyed, 8ud bias received the approbation of of topographical engineers and other high mih- hority. Since the date of Mr.Sargent’s report, the authorities have set teams and laborers to of the com- work upon some of the roads.—Rep.] ge THE Work on THe Cariro: Dome —The workmen “ie now engaged in erecting the frome sceflolding on the dome, preparatory to the erection of the tholus and etatue.
