The opera, while not as "catching" as many of Gilbert <& Sullivan's, still lias a number of parts which met with the hearty approval of the audleuce. Miss Ide Mulle, as Phyllis , carried off the honors. Her singing aud acting are pleasiug. Iolanthe , by Miss Rose Dana, was well given. The Fairy Queen, Miss M. A. Sanger, was one of the strongest parts of the opera. Miss Sanger has a remarkably heavy voice, which she manages cleverly. Her solo in the second part met with a hearty encore. The three leading fairies Celia, Lelia and Fleta were as lively as mortal fairies could well be, aud succeeded iu making several "dudes" sitting near the stage, act like boobies. The Earl of Mount Aarat sus tained his character splendidly aud has a very good voice. The Earl of Tol loller acted well, but has a remarkably weak voice for solo sing ing, yet does well in part singing. The finest of singing was the quartette, "In Friendship's Name, between Phyllis , Lord Lolloller. Earl of Mt. Aarat, aud pri vate Willis, of which an encore was given heartily. Taken all through the opera was well rendered. The chorus was weak in several parts, but being well drilled, man aged the scene between the Peers and the Fairie* admirably. Strephon was pleasing.

Hoffecker, Esq., of the Committee No. 9, made a verbal report, and said a consultation had been had with the parties most directly Interested. At the present time teachers were admitted to either the lower or the upper grades of the traiulug vacancies occurred, and only served in one grade, thus beiDg defective iu the other. Complaints had been made, and justly too, concerning the matteF, and the committee recoinlnended some radical changes. Now there were two rooms of each grade, with teaclicils in each room, the term being 60 days. It was deemed advisable to put two teachers iu each room, and all teachers on probation were to enter the lower grade and serve a term of 40 days and then 40 days in the upper grade, pay to be given for the last yO days of the term of traiulug. At present the training school, he said, was somewhat of a farce. The new rule was designed go into effect at the first of the coming school yearin September. Mr. Kyne moved to postpone action for two weeks, but hifi motion was voted down. Mr. Grier's motion that the holding over members should select places and report them for holding the school election on the first Saturday in May, was carried. Mr. Betts moved that the salary of the bailiff be made $100 per year, instead ot $150 as at present.)

Yeas—Betts, Hilton, Hoflecker, Shortlidge, Baird. Nays —Brook, Temple, Furry, Grier, Hickman, Kcablen, Kenney, Kyne, McKay, Sample. The proposed change to the by-laws, as suggested by Mr. Kenny, making the salary of the secretary and treasurer $720, instead of $500 a year, as it now is, was called up. Mr. Kenny spokeiin favor of the change and also suggested that, had he the matter to do over, he might possibly put in a proviso that the secretary and treasurer have an office, to be open every day, aud that some of the work transacted by the superintend ent be done by hjm. Mr. Hoffecker thought If the salary was Increased the amount of work should be in creased proportionately. For his part he thought the secretary aud treasurer had "a fat office." Dr. Shortlidge thought it would be well to lay the matter over two weeks, so that It could be ascertained whether the officer whose salary it was proposed to increase could aid the superintendent, whose duties were rather heavy. On motion of Mr. Kenny the matter was referred to a special committee of three, to report at the neslt meeting. The Chair ap pointed Messrs. Kenny, Betts and McKay.
