He condemned utterly -theprinting and making public the informal and conversational remarks made _ by membersof the Board at the close of their _ meetings. Acting under the most incorrect intormation he had made a passing remark concerning the Inspector which, with the knowledge he now` possessed, would never have left his lips, a remark not intended to do that gentleman any harm and one which he now very much regretted. The same sentiment was echoed by Mr. Hewson, Mr. Rogers (chairman) and indeed by every mem her of the Board present, says the represen- taiive of the Gazette. and Mr. Morgan was requested to explain -to the Board the state- ments made at their last meeting. This he did. and at the same time read a letter from Mr. Garvin which fnlle corroborated all he said. . On Mr. Steele ing appealed to, he acred with every statement made by Mr. Mor n and Mr. Garvin. As -a result the Board expressed their regret that anything `should have beendone which seemed to re- . eet on Mr. -Morgan, expressed their fullest confidence in him as their Inspector. and left with him the arrangements referring to ' the proper organisation of the schools at the close of the vacation." Mr. Morgan thanked them for their kindly feelings to which they had given utterance. and or the renewed proof of their candenoe and the meetinv ad- ; noted The routine business having been eonolnded rose notice report (which _,__-_u :_ 5.1.- I1----A AG lanai: u-nunk\ nf u; lean etlnnnnd. - At the rennin meetmc of the above society, omoere for the coming year were elected on follows . - _ V ` PC I > Joe.

Here were assembled on this last night of the yeara number of men, who, as the day waned and the early winter darkness de- scended, had gathered in from the streets, from low taverns, from many haunts known only to themselves to seek a night's shelter, and some faces among them marked the habitual drunkard, others were a desperate hunted look that betrayed a closer con nection with crime, while all bore traces of poverty and suering, a homeless refuge, for homeless men,--and it was New Year's Eve. As the hours wore on strange quietness rvaded the room, usually so lled with " oud clamor A few of the men were talk- ing ; others were thumbing a greasy, pack of cards ; several were quarrelling in a subdued monotone ; while all were smoking, -- a luxury that seems to afford temporary oom- fort to even the most destitute. But once when the rough voices crew loud in the heat of discussion a woman suddenly appeared at the doorway, and said in a sharp whisper : Hush, you men. Have ye got no sense not feelin s to be makin a noise at sech a time as this. And as the clamor died instantly away without a word of letart from the men, she disappeared.
