CITY 1STE S.

Railroad Meetln i cr . The friends ol the Evansville, Henderson and Nashville Railroad will hold a Mass Meeting, in front of the Bank 'Building, on Main Street, this (Friday) evening,:at. 8 o!clock; .- Let everybody , attend. There will be good speaking. . Good Music. The Turner Band, who 'are' old rail road 'men, made charming music for the meeting at the Old Brewery last night. ... i J66f Agricultural' laborers are directed to the advertisement of John G. Holloway, of Henderson Countyj Ky., in to-day's paperT(, JB By reference to the Wants column, it will be seen that James Talbot i, , sexton of the Walnut Street Church, has been so unfortunate as to lose a pocket-book containing $101 a serious loss to him." The finder will do' an honest act, and an old man a great favor, to return it. Njearly , Completed. Mr. 31. Sherwood's ; fine and spacious new residence 'on1 First, Street is .nearly finished, and is rather "a creditable affair, though we think a flat roof would have been more elegaut; but that is merely a matter of taste. f . 1HE UITT UOUNCIL VV llich IS in session from day to day, as a Board of Equalization, yesterday accepted the invitation of the :SchoolTrastees to be present at the graduating exercises fif the High'School, this afternoon, and therefore" will not be in sassion at the Council' Chamber. The Mayor and Council will-be present in a body at the High School. ' " ,4 , , , , ... : 1 ' COMMISSIONEES' COUKT AND BOARD op Equalization. The County Com missioners and . Township Assessors are stall engaged on the schedules of Pigeon Township, and find, 'occasion ally,, things that xcite' their special admiration. If the history of these. things were written out day by day, many citizens would appear in a rath er unenviable light. Water Street. The- grading on Water Street, from Vine to Sycamore, ha3 been finished, and is now receiv ing the gravel. The square from Sycamore Street nearly to-Maiu has been plowed up There is a large amount of gravel in the exca.vation, which, with the loam mixed with it, will make an excellent admixture for the new gravel. -. . . ; Addenda. On Wednesday evening we received a note from Miss L. Ashley, the accomplished assistant teacher in the First Boys' Grammar School, asking us to add to the list of "not absent or tardy during the whole year" the name of Master Shellet Vaughn. 'In the press of other matter we unintentionally forgot it, but now -.cheerfully make the addenda. The list now stands Wm. Nanney, Osceola Mark," Willie Huston, Wm. Akin, Shelley Vaughn. i Piling Brick. The bricklayers have commenced laying , brick in the foundation of the fine new block projected ou-Maiu Street, between Second and .Third Streets, the cellars being excavated. The material is on the ground, and the work will go forward apace, closing up the vacuum left by the destructive fire of last Winter, which will prove a real blessing to the city. Pont Barouche. There may be seen at the carriage factory of J. B. Green on Main. Street, a most beautiful Pony Barouche, manufactured for our esteemed fellow citizen Sam'l. Orr. It is a novelty, and cannot fail to attract attention. The entire work was done at Mr. G.'s establishment, the pattern, style of painting, finish, &o'., being originated by the 'younger Mr. Green. "In style and finish, we do not think 'this barouche can be beaten by any Western manufacturer, and doubt if superior work is made East, i It is made expressly for family use, and is most admirably adapted to that purpose. Evansville mechanics are not to be excelled. ' - ; The Negro Assassination. We have been put in possession of certain facts in relation to the diabolical assassination of an, inoffensive negro, on the wharf on Monday morning last, which adds greatly to the' turpitude of the crime, and increase's the sur prise of many iu regard to the escape 01 the aoiassin. If the facts, as they iiv rJ) .wp(1 tii ns: ara'hof tro-Aratio - justice wasYuerally blind in th.i case.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS. Iliau School. The wrole of yesterday was occupied with the examination of the various classes taught by Mr. F. C. Willett, principal, and Miss Dora J. Mayhew, assistant, in which, also,,Pfofe830T Butferfield, 00k' part. After the opening exercises," the first class in Algebra was called, and acquitted itself very creditably. The definitions and elementary principles were readily given, and we did not notice a single failure in solving the problems, selected by the Superintendent. It was remarked that the examination .". was a " great improvement oa the same study last year, sin Physical Geography, which was next called, the girls' section did better than the boys', but there was alack of readiness in the recitation, which might be construed into a want of proper familiarity with the study. The classes in French translated with fluency and have acquired a pretty correct; pronunciation. The examination in chemistry was very good .indeed, the pupils explaining the principles-of the science with clearness,, and answering questions promptly. The' forenoon exercises were closed with the reading of a composition of oreditatable merit, by Mary Carson,' and with declamations by Maurice Jones and Gus. A. Wulkop. The first class called in lithe4 afternoon was in Gmar'$ Commentaries. The reading of the original text was very good, and the translation ready. A little better acquaintance with the grammatical rules would have made the parsing more Satisfactory but thii recitation was a- very good one. The examination in Botany passed of well, but owing to the outside noise and the indistinct recitation of the pupils, very little of it was heard by the visitors. Maurice Jones had analyzed 235flow- : ers, being the largest number by any one of the class. The class in Greek, which was quite small, was examined by Mr. WlLLETT in Nenoplton, and apparently did well; though the visitors irppeared too rusty to pass a correct judgment upon it. The examination in Rhetoric was one of the best of the day, each pupil taking up and completing a topic with readiDesa and correctness of language. The class in Virgil was examined on (he first three books. The scholars have devoted more than the usual attention to the principles of Prosody, and its value was apparent in their exercise of scanning, and the correct pronunciation. This class acquitted itself with mucli credit. The afternoon session was closed with the reading of a composition Dy liene virauam, a recitation by Hattie Dunham and declamations by L. P. Lyon and George P. Walker, all of which were highly interesting to the visitors. The exercises ' were - intersperced ! with choice songs by the school" choir, which added much to the life and interest of , the examination. Altogether, the day' was well spent, and showed ' that the High School had made good progress since the semiannual examination. The exercises will be continued through to-day. Hebrew School Examination. The examination of the Hebrew School closed yesterday, and has throughout reflected much credit on the pupils and teachers. Most of the day yesterday was devoted to the examination of classes in German and Hebrew, in which the children manifested much progress in the judgment of the most intelligent of our Jewish population, who are warm in their commendations of both Mr. Hecht and Prof. Knight as instructors. Professor Knight bad three classes in the afternoon, whose proficiency in spelling, reading and mental arithmetic, elicited much information. In the first spelling class but two words were misssed, in a protracted ordeal. In the second reading class, Fifth Reader, there are some excellent readers, nt only pronouncing the words correctly but giving such words as brought out the sense of the author. In all the.sehJol examinations, we have heard, none that excelled the Hebrew School, and we are glad to regard it. The attendance of spectators. was rather iuereased,! and inter est was unabated. There was no Roll Ot Honor made out, but Professor Knight informs us tnat ot 113 muoizts enroiwa during tne-year, oniy u taruy mams ap

peared upon his register, which shows an extraordinary punctuality on the part of pupils. '- ;-: A Vert Delicate Operation. Those of our citizens who know Mr. G. S Hammer, and they are many, will remember a small kott or protuberance growing on the side of the neck, on what is technically termed the"paroted regions." A few days ago this deformity, which is denominated an ensested tumor, was successfully removed by Drs. Thompson and

Fis.herwith. but little apparent pain to the patient, who declined taking chloroform or anything else to deadeu sensibility. The excrescence was about the size of a hulled walnut. Mr. Htmmer is now doing well. High School to-day. The Ex amination will be continued this fore noon in Higher Arithmetic, Mental Philosophy, Greek lessons, Geometry and Latin Reader. The afternoon will be devoted to the rhetorical exer cises of the graduating class, and promises to be highly interesting. The following is the programme. Music Oration I Liberty. R. V. Hodvon.

As we had heard nothing from, the female whose screams and oaths and obscenities so disgusted the residents in the vicinity of the Court House on Tuesday even ing, we were led to believe tnat jus tice had also been blind in her case, but yesterday we f ascertained that such was not the case. After sobering up to some extent, late Tuesday evening, she was taken before Recorder Nelson, who fined her $25, with $6 25 costs. She paid a part of the fine, and promised to pay the balance, and was let go to make the money, we presume. The Recorder gave her the choice, to p.'y the balance, to be rearrested and sent to jail, or to leave the city, never to re turn. She declared that if the fiua vas $1,000 he would not leave the city. Singularly enough, she was not prosecuted for stealing the toots, nor for stealing money, which latter charge was preferred against her, but the complaining witness net having $5 about his clothes, the process was not. served. Yesterday, five butchers, whose names we did not ascertain, were arraigned for making contracts in mar ket before market opeued. They were all alike found guilty, and each fined $1, with $i 05 costs, but as it was difficult to make the change, His Honor, in the plenitude of his mercy, bade the culprits keep the odd-5 cents, and treat themselves to a glass of lager at bis expense." Martin Langlcy, a burley headed rustic, was charged with having been drunk and disorderly. $1 fine, and $6 95 costs, was the expense of his luxury. The 'Wharf. The work on the wharf is progressing rapidly, and by the end of next week the section now under way will be nearly completed to Viue Street, and one more section will bring it to the outer edge of Water Sireet. By the time this is finished the river, if it continues to recede, will be low enough to allow the abutments of the sewers to be built up, the sewers to be repaired, and another section to be put on, extending to low water mark. We ar" told by an old citizen, that many years ago, a pile of loose rock was laid along the waters edge, reaching up to low water mark, which will form an excellent aud permanent foundation tr bulwark against which" to end tlm pavement. This line of rock is supposed to be now covered with about four feet of mud, and is about on the same grade-with the new pavement cow being put in. If the pavement is push ed down to this abutment it will prove a solid bujwark, it is believed, and prevent apy giving way of the wharf. If this is s, we hope a search will be ma '.1 lor it. The Railroad Meetinu. The crowd at the. Old Brewery last night was quiteOarge, and- much interest was manifested in the discussion .of the merits of the E., H. & ?7. Railroad. Mj. 11. S. Sproule, editor." of the Gjtirier, made a . brief speech,

fraught with many strong and incon

trovertible arguments in favor of the subscription. He was followed R by Mr. R. Kehr, who spoke in German earnestly and well. lie spoke elo quently, and manifestly interested and convinced- his hearers, who were chiefly German. Other speeches fol lowed, in English and German, but we did not stay to hear them; but we are' told by intelligent Germans that the Seeches all had a . good effect upon "the'auditors.and that 'many who were in doubt, or decidedly opposed toithe subscription, were fully cou verted, and they believe the meeting did much good. The meeting at the Turner Hal was not as large as we had. expected to see, hor as those calling the meet ing had deserved. After some delay 3Ir. Carpenter moved that Mr. Isaac Keen take the Chair, which was con curred in by three or four voices. Mr Carpenter then moved that Mr Adolph Pfafflin be appointed Secreta ry, which was agreed to with the same unanimity, but Mr. PfafHin did not appear. Willard Carpenter then moved that James Scantlin should act as Secretary, but he would not. Mr. Willard Carpenter then nomi nated Walter Beers, who could not stay. i. :. '-. .' V" Ci i- - . Mr- Carpenter wasa then nominated and 'elected Secretary without a dis senting voice; but he excused himself ou the plea that they should .nomi nate some man who could write. Mr, Carpenter then nominated Pat. Burke for Secretary of. the meeting; and though the noes on the question had a manifest majority of three to one, out of compassion Pat. accepted the situation, aud took a seat upon the stage; but just what was. the necessity for a Secretary to such a meeting we have never been' able' to comprehend. Willard Carpenter then asked some one to call out Col. James G. Jones, and an honest looking and unsophis ticated diayman sung out Col. Jones, and Col. Jones came forth. He spoke in his usual deliberate manner, and in rather a low tone of voice. lie assnmed to be a friend to the Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad, but he wanted the Straight Line Railroad be built first, at least as far as to the Ohio &; Mississippi Rail road. He elaborated the subject with abuut the same arguments ,as were u-e;l iu his, coiiuuunications to the Joi it.v.vL last AViiiter. He argued that the construction of the Straight Line Road would supply the city with fire, wood and lumber for almost nothing just as if a railroad wa3 ever known to carry fire wood, in order to increase their own fuel expenses while the construction of the E.. II. & N. R. R. would bene fit the wholesale merchants only, and intimated his fears that if some men -should make a little more money, that worse slavery would exist . in this country than was ever known iu Russia. He spoke very much as an aftoruey before a jury who had a" hopeless case and a doubtful retaining fee. As he closed, one or two voices called for Carpenter, while Chandler! Chandler!! rung out in thunder tones by nearly the whole house. Mr. Carpenter said he would not make a speech to-night, but would tomorrow night at the Old Council Chamber, and said no man knew the ropes better than he did. He. said Colonel Jones had made a good speech, but he would give them the quintescence of the whole matter. Mr. Chandler then took the stand, and said he had not come to speak,but to learn one tangible reason for opposing the subscription. He had been utterly disappointed. Jones and Carpenter were both in favor of the E. H. & N. R. R , but they desired to place the Straight Line Road upon it as a rider. He bi learned at school that wholesome advice, that if a man desired to carry an ox, that he should train himself to it by first carrying a calf, lest in trying to carry an ox first, he should break his back and not be able to carry even a calf. (Applause.) He thought the E. H. & N. Road should be built first, aud gave incontrovertable reasons for his belief. lfe showed during the course of his fcpeecli, which was one of the I most forcible, eloquent aud couvinc- J ing that we have ever heard fall from ; his lips, that the poor men, the laboring men', and the draymeu of Evansville, were far more interested in the , construction of this road than any other class of people in the city. He, in the tnostdelicate manner, showed ; that Mr. Jones was the attorney of

Mr. Fellows, who had been Trustee of the Straight Line Road, and who was one of the purchasers of the Franchise, and that Mr. Carpenter was deeply interested in the same road, and that John J. Merritt was his trustee. ji . He showed also, that; if th'o Company was cot revived and kept alive for some eighteen months longer, that charter would bo forfeited and the road would revert to the original owners, and that tUe eity would then obtain for nothing what they were now required to pay $200,000 for. He also showed that the E., H. & Nashville Road, when built, would secure the building of the StraightLine without expense to the city. We regret we have not time or space to give his overwhelming arguments to some extent in detail, as his arguments were exhaustive and unanswerable. Had a vote been taken last night, not more than four or five of the whole audience would have voted against the subscription. One or two of the most earnest opponents were hopefully converted, and went home rejoicing in a new faith. . To-night there will be a meeting, and. speeches from the steps of the Evansville . National Bank and also at the old Council' Chamber over the postoffice, and large crowds should be in attendance.
