RANGE OF THE THERMOMETER The following are the readings of the ther- it the Signal Office during the day:— LOCAL NEWS. District Government Affairs, A “DUMPING GROUND” NUISANCB. Health Officer Townshend recently requested the Commissicners to cause asurvey to be mada of equares east of 516 and 547, between N and P and Canal and Delaware avenues, and tha’ por- tion of the pubile highway east of those squares, and that ail persons using the public groun Detween those squares and James’ Creek for rivate purposes be ordered to remove there- om without delay. This isthe polot desig- Bated as a depot for the receipt and shipment of offal, &c., and the health officer says that the proper performance of that service 1s se- yiousiy interfered with by reason of the fi that unwarranted possession of the ground been taken by parties for the purpose of stor- wg. stable manure, <c., creating nulsances for which the offal service is given the credit. “In fact, the place bas become a general dumping ground for foul matter of all kind.” The Commissioners yesterday directed the surveyor of the District to make the necessary surveys as requested. NOTICE TO THE BELT LINE ROAD. ‘The Commissioners to-day notified the presi- dentof the North O Street, Capitol and South Washington Street Railway Company, that complaints have been made of obstructions on Water and 11th streets southwest, made by the workmen engsged In laying their track, to such an extent as to stop ali business on those streets, and that the obstructions must be re- moved at once. The School Memorial to W. W. Sea- on. THE BENEFIT PERFORMANCE TO-MORROW NIGHT. The pupils and ex-pupils of the high school will present the play of Jullus Cvesar at the National Theater to-morrow (Thursday) night. The proceeds of the performanee will be their contribution towards erecting amonument to the late W. W. Seaton, esq., whose name, as a e0-editor of the National Intelligencer, mayor of Wasbington, and prominently a friend of the public schools, is a household word among our older citizens and persons interested in our sSehool system. An entertainment of this ora similar character ts the only way in which the young people can testify their tuterest in the enterprise, and they deserve every encourage- ment for their appreciation of one whose efforts in their behalf antedated their births, and the object forcibly commends itself to our readers. We are informed that the performance will be Much Detter than the average amateur dra- matic efforts: that Miss M. K. Schreiner and Mr. Thi .. Saller have been untuing ta their instruction fn the elocutionary and managerial departments; that the amateur orchestra con- talbs superior musical talent, and that the . “Lawrence Barrett Dramatic Club” has among itg members amateurs of pronounced ability. A Lunatic or a Criminal, VOLUNTARY CONFESSION OF MURDBR. Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Plerce, on duty at the Columbia buildings, on 414 street, while Closing the doors after business hours, was approached by a youtg man who inquired if he Was a | pited States officer, and on replying in the aMirmative, the young man stated that he wished to surrender himself. The officer in- quired the cause, and was informed that his crime was murder. He had killed a man In France, and wished to give himself up. Ser- geant Pierce took him into headquarters, and On being questiened by Major Brock, he stated that he was a native of Bombay, a subject of Great Britato, bis father being a British ollicer, now on duty in the East Indies; that his namé is Jobn Feash Heath, and that his father had Bent him to a medical school at Glasgow, Scot- land, to be educated; that while there he vis- ited France in company with a French student named Fouchet, and while at Monte Carlo, io the south of France, near Conness, they wer2 playing cards, and Fouchet accasei him of cheating, which so en! him that he drew a revolver and shot him. He at once took fligat, and gettlng on an American steamship cane t) this country. This occurred some two m ath3 ago, and since that time there had been two men following him. He was particularly d>- sirous that he should be under the protection of the American government. Major Brock, thinking that he might be somewhat ont of his ight wind, this morning summoued the poliee physicians, and they decided that he wag a fit subject for the insane asylum, aud he was seat over accordingly, where be will remain un {i the facts are ascertained and his father in- formed of his condition. ——_+—_—_- Transfers of Real Estate.

A communication was received from Mr. Henry Jobnson, advising Mr. Smith that he had re- ‘turned the reports of his children for April, for the reason that two days—Good Friday and Easter Monday—the ci nm were marked “absent,” which is not in spirit with the reso- lution of the board: * * that absence should not be to the prejudice of the pupil; referred.

The committee on rules made a report on the regolution referred at the last meeting of the board recommending the ni amend- ment te the rules In compliance therewith. The amendment is that teachers now in the schools who have taught therein continuously ip any grade below the eighth for three years or more, may be promoted to the next higher grade, provided the records show that such teachers have been successful, both as instruc— tors and disciplinarians, Mr, Middleton moved that the report lay over, as it was a very im- portant one, and the subject was now agitating Other boards.

The com- mittee on rules made a report on the amend- ment relative to teachers visiting other schools on furnishing substitutes, recommending that it be not adopted; laid over. Mr. Pearson calted up the resolution directing that the rolls of horor be omitted from the annual report; and it was adopted. A FEMALE TRACHER INVOLVED IN A SCANDAL. Mr. J. F. N. Wilkinson remar' i re were certain reports as to Miss C. E. Lewis, a colored teacher who recently resigned, and moved that the vote accepting ner resignation be reconsidered. He presented a letter from Miss Lewis, in which she detailed the circum- stances of the case, stating that on the 10th of April she was accosted in the street by Mrs. J. G. B. Marshall, who stated that her husband had been alienated from her, and that in her opinion his visits to the house where Miss Lewis was staying was the cause of it. The sub-board (Messrs. Brooks, Smith and Pope), hearing of 1t requested Miss Lewis to resign, which she did, but subsequently asked leave to withdraw the letter of resignition, which the sub-board would not allow her to do. She (ota hata ee of all blame, and says Mrs, Mai subsequently wrote a letter, ex- onerating her, (the teacher), which letter was Sent to the sub-board. She appeals to the School board to examine into all the facts. Mr. Wormley presented a petition of thirty ormore ladies to the trustees to give Miss Lewis a hearing. After considerable debate a motion of Mr. Wilkinson to reconsider was agreed to. Yeas— Messrs. Loveloy, Samson, Middieton, Dodge, Brown, ‘Wilkinson and Wormley—10,’ Nays— Mesers.

Destroying Shade Trees. VANDALISM OF SCHOOL BOYS. The discovery by Mr. S, E. Douglass, asstst- ant superintendent of the parking commission, that several handsome and thrifty linden trees in front of the Force school house, on Massa- chusetts avenue, between 16th and 17th streets, had been mangled and the bark torn from them, the branches broken, &c., led to an investiga- tion by the Parking Commissioners, the police, and Mr. White, the teacher in charge of that school, which resulted tm finding that some of the pupils were the guilty parties. The sym- metry of that fine row of lindens, which has Oost 80 much to have ited there, has thus been marred by the pre able Killing of four or five trees which will have to be replaced by yourger ones. Thecase having been brought to the attention of Major Brock, he has given orders to have the guiity boys | grange and it 1s boped that this course will be pursued in every case of the kind.
