It is true that the scbool on 7th street has been suspendetl for the present, but the lady managers hope to re-open itduring tbe coming fall. The school was in debt last fall about $1,000; but some ror} len tions have been made which material! duce this indebtedness. Among others, Dd. Cooke, Fsq., contributed $10); John Hitz, Esq.. $100; Mayor Bowen, $50; and about $20 was realized from a theatrical entertain- ment given early this th at Carrell Hall This entertainment was undertaken by Mrs. Col. Creecy, who, amidst many discourage. ments, persevered in getting a mumber of young Jadies and gentlemen to engage in it for the Ddenefit of the school. The managers expect to give entertainments at the Home during the summer to raise funds to enable them to re- open the schooi in the tall. ‘The auxiliary schoel in Georgetown is sus- tained by the liberality of the good citizens of that town, and the managers hope to continue itwithont interruptico. We bespeak for this enterprise the favor and support of the beneyo- lently disposed. ——<$4 ASSAULT AND Batrery Lip at aera Officer Harris arrested Mary oar ae = as- sault and bat on ‘Mary. ony id Jus- tice Drury fined her $3.

The ring horses, however, will pass along the avenue on Monday. The New York Tribune critic, Who is thoroughly independent in bis opinions, says :—“The New York Circus is firmly establisned in local popularity. In- deed, itis toe only circus that bas eyer ob- tained a permanent footing in New York. And this it has attained by the simple process of deserving it.
