Messrs. Buckly and Vermillion, contractors for paving 7th street from B street south to the river front, have progressed as far as I strc et. on the east side of the railroad track, sffording already great relief to travel in this direction. The material appears to be substantial and the work well executed. The colo fraud, Francis Marshall, who several days since tried to pasa h'mself off for @ policeman in Georgetown, was up before Judge Snell yesterday on a similar charge. Officer Harper arresied bim on tne charge of threatening to arrest some boys and ex'erting money from them for the priv- ilege of bathing in the river.

It was Jast year to regulate the expenditures in such manner that the schools apon this basis should be maintained for eight months at a cost not exceeding $290,000. It is now proposed by the school trustees that additional schools shall be established. and large expenditures in buildings be made. Congressional aid canno! be counted upon—only hoped for—and no action based upon it should be had. Some scheme should, and indeed must be, adopted by which the schools for a term of eight months can in no event cost more than $290,000, and it may be found necessary even to curtail that amount. The board is re quested to report freely and fully upon su-h lans for conducting the schools upon that fasis of expenditure as may seem wisest. MUST HAVE TIE FURNITURE.
