Isao Rich, of Boston, for the erection of a library building. Ir half an hour the first named sum was subscribed, with some to spare, From this it would sneer that the Wesleyan University is in the way of having prosperity showered upon it, and that it may go on its way rejoicing.

A Comptatnt.—Citizens of the Twentieth and Twenty- second wards are making complaints regarding the ex- istence of bone boiling establishments in the Eleventh and Twelfth avenues, which they say are ® nuisance, and engender disease and noxious vapors disagreeable to the olfactories of civilized human beings. Thero are many poor and destitute families in the wards mention- ed, who, hudaled in stifling and uncomfortable tene- ments, have hard work to keep the breath of life in their bodies in the coolest of weather, and who, during the summer, suffer intolerably without the aid of the heated effluvia from the establishments alluded to. Is it pos- sible for the Sanitary Board of the City Inspector's De- partment to do anything with these avenues? If go, they will oblige many cit'zens by moving in the matter, and moving at once and decidedly. Warca Presenration.—The- Under-Sheriff, Mr. John J. V.

Among those present on the occa- sion were ex-Sheriff Lynch, Deputies Moore, Reilley and Stephens, and Captains Goodwin and Motiuire, all of whom took part in the proceedings. Mr. Westervelt will hereafter have an additional incentive to spur, him on in the prompt performance of his duty, if that were neces- sary. Is he not well ‘watched ?”” Screwtic Excorstox.—On Thursday afternoon of last wook, the boys of the first class of Grand street Public School, accompanied by their teacher, Mr. G. B.

Justice Dodge, having taken his seat yesterday, ‘alluded to the scene of the previous day, in which Mr. Boies and Mr. Mann were the Justice Dodge, addressing counsel, said:—Yesterday I understand that you gentlemen indulged in some re- marks that wore not right or meceasary to the adjudica- tion of this case, during my temporary absence yester- day. Had I been on the Bench’ F should have put a stop to such @ course at once. ’ Mr. Boles replying, said;—I donot know to what yon refer, sir, Justice Dodge—I do not want to argue the question with you, sir, Iam only astonished that you made such remarks as are imputed to you im the papers, and I am astonished'that Mr, Mann shoul@ have replied in th manner he did. a Mr. Field—I always knew Mr. Boies as a gentleman in the profession, and thoucht that the reports in the papers were rather incorrect. He was not present himself at the time and could not say. Y Justice Dodge said that he had been absent at the time. The matter now before the court was the examination of Mr. Mann. I am sorry that the court should be made a place of amusement in the past; but the case must now proceed regularly. Mr. Boies—It was not a matter of amusement. Justice Dodge—It must have been, if the report of our Proceedings yesterday is correct. What he would like to know was what has Mr. Mann’s age to do with the case? I am sorry the affair has happened, and I hope it will not happen again, especially as our proceedings are so faithfully given to the public. Mr. Banks did not think that anything could be charged against him in the matter. Justice Dodge—You, sir, and Mr. Boies being associ- ates, I must only infer it was done by you.
