ANNIVERSARY OF BROAD-STREET
Sunday-School.—The fourteenth anni
versary of Broad-streot sunday-school was
held at Broad-street church yesterday af
ternoon at 4 o'clock. The following was
the programme of exercises: 1. Son-;,
"Here again we meet you." 2. Recita
tion by the superintendent and school. 3.
Prayer by the pastor. 4. Song, "Wake
the song of joy and gladness." 5. Super
intendent's report. This was a very inter
esting document, and doubtless officers,
teachers and scholars were proud of the
facts contained therein. During thi past
year the school has not lest a scholar by
death. Thirty-four have been added to
the church from the school. On comparing
the attendance of the school for the years
1871-72 with that of 1873, and tak
ing April for an example, we lind
it has increased remarkably, the school av
eraging ninety per cent, this month. (I.
Song, "Children's praise." This was sung
very sweetly by a number of little girls
in the infant class, the school joining
them in the last verse. 7. Address by the
pastor, Rev. J. 0. Granbury, who com
menced by asking the children the mean
ing of the word anniversary, explaining the
same, and informing them that tho.r school
was born on Christmas day; that its
birth took place in Mechanics' Hall, in the
year 1809. lie then called tho attention of
all to another birth, that which gave the
day its name of Christmas—the day com
memorated in honor of Jesus, tho savior of
the world. He also congratulated the
school on its progress from year to year
and urging all to re-consecration in the
glorious work in which they were engaged.
8. Song, "Christ our leader." 9. Address
by Rev. A. C. Bledsoe, of Trinity. He
said that if he had known it was expected
visitors should bring prcsehts he would
have brought his speech with him. (The
one ho had with him, though brief, was
listened to with marked attention). He
complimented the school ou its success,and
assured them of his readiness to lend them
a helping hand. At this point a pleasing
ceremony took place that was not on the
printed programme. It was that of the
presentation, by the officers and teachers,
of a handsome silver butter dish and a pair
of silver goblets—tho former to Mr. S. T.
Reach, tho secretary ot the school, and
the latter to Mr. VV. E. Turner, the
choirister. The presentation speeches were
mado by the superintendent, and grace
fully responded to by the recipients.
10. Song, "The treasures of Heaven."
After the singing of this song by the school
the superintendent, Mr. E. E. Parham, was
required to pause in the exercises for the
purpose of listening to a few words from
Mr. William Willis, jr., in connection with
a large silver water pitcher which now
made its appearance. The surpriser was
now indeed surprised, but not enough to
prevent a happy acknowledgment to officers
and teachers for their beautiful gift. "Gates
Ajar" was sung in admirable stylo by
little Agnes Downward, assisted in the
chorus by several little companions:
Gone beyond the darksome river,—
Only left us by the way,—
(}.».»bey«id the night forever;
Only gore to endless day,—
Gone to meet the angel faces,
Whero our lo- ely li ensures are;
Gone awhile from our embraces —
Gone within the gates ajar.
There's a sister ! there's a brother!
Wl*re our lovely treasmes are :
There's a father, there's a mother,
Gone within the gates ajar.
One by one they go before us,—
They are fading like 4Jie duw :
Rut we know ihey are watching o'er us,
They, the good, the fair, the true ;
They are waiting lor us on'y,
Where no pain can ever mar ;
Little ones who left ns lonely,.
Watch us thro' the gates sjar.
Other pieces were well rendered by the
school, after which the Urge congregation
was dismissed with tho benediction by
Rev. A. C. Bledsoe, all having wo doubt
Dot been highly entertained with the anni
versary Jof Broad-street sunday-school.
Interesting Exercises in St. Pe
ter's.—A very interesting ceremony was
witnessed by those who attended 9 o'clock
mass at St. Peter's cathedral yesterday
morning—tho presentation of flowers, by
the children of the congregation, to deco
rate tho altar of tho Virgin, the month of
May being specially consecrated to her
honor. Two processions wero formed
from the basement school-room, the boys
entering lhe church first, advancing chant
ing a hymn of praise. On arriving at the
altar the leading boy pronounced a dedica
tory address, and after him each boy as he
passed presented the boqttct of Howcrs he
carried, which was placed on the altar.
The girls then advanced, chanting their
hymn of praise to tho Virgin, and, after a
similar dedicatory address by their leader,
offered the boquets they carried, to be laid
on her altar.
Rev. Father Jannessen delivered an ad
dress to the children, impressing upon
them the duty of cultivating in themselves
the grace and virtues so admirably exempli
fied for them in the character of her who is
declared to be " blessed among women."
Close of the Assessor's Office.
Dr. E. H. Smith, internal revenue assessor,
has been busily engaged • for several days
past in winding up the affairs of his office,
which is to bo closed in pursuance of law
on the 20th of May. Tho papers, books,
&c, were packed up Saturday and will be
turned over to Rush Burgess, the collector,
this evening. The additional duties devolv
ing upon this latter officer in consequence
of the change will necessitate an increase
of his clerical force, and the rooms in the
customhouse occupied by the assessor
will be hereafter used by him in addition
to thoso now occupied. His quarters haye
long been inconveniently small for the vast
amount of work performed, but the addi
tion of two capacious apartments will give
him the much-desired opportunity of better
accommodating the business interests of
the government and of tho people.
Senator Rixey Recovers his
Watch.—A short time before the
legislature adjourned it will bo remem
bered lhat we gave an aecoint of the rob
bery of tho rooms at the Exchange of Sen
ators Rixey and Thomas, the former g?n
--i ilciuiui losing a valuable gold watch. The
watch was found at a pawn-broker's shop
in Baltimore, a few days ago. The Sena
tor was notified 1 ; and immediately went on
and recovered his watch, worth $200, by
'' paying the proprietor of the shop 805 for
which it was pawned.

Hoddon's Washinoton.—Captain
R. F. Walker, superintendent of public
printing, litis laid us under obligations for

ard fo Washington.
Washington, May 17.—A New York
•special says that Senators Casserly and
Bayard, of the Senate sub-committee on
transportation, have returned here from an
extended trip along tho existing and pro
jected line of the James River and Ka
nawha canal from the James river to the
Ohio. They examined the feasibility of a
tunnel of a mile through tho Allesthanies,
and were assured by a competent engineer
that it could be completed in four years
from the time the required assistance was
rendered by Congress. An objection was
made by Senator Casserly to the mountain
reservoir system, but the engineer believed
that it could be maintained by keeping the
canal supplied with water.
The rapid overflow of tho Greenbrier
river, on the west side of the Alleghanies,
was urged could be overcome and made
navigable by dams and locks. The com
mittee were impressed with tho vast mine
ral deposits along the banks of the Kanair
ha and other streams running into the
Ohio, but have not yet agreed on a report
to the full committee on the proposed in—
terwatcr line route. Tht cost of lhe com
pletion of the James River and Kanawha
canal has been estimated by Congress to
be many millions of dollars.

New York, May 19.—The story pub
lished in the Herald, yesterday, that six
persons in the upper part of the city had
been poisoned by arsenic proves to be a
fact. The parties are domestics in the
house of M. R. Blatchford, father of
Judge Blatchford. It is thought all will
recover, though one or two of them are yet
very low. It has not transpired who ad
ministered the poison or the motive. The
butler was first charged with the crime,
but he is also suffering from this poison.JJ
Suicides In Brooklyn.
New York, May 19.—Two more sui
cides are reported in Brooklyn, making
four since Thursday last. Sir.' Ilardwick,
aged sixty-five, took laudanum Saturday
night, while laboring under mental depres
sion from an unknown cause ; and Peter .
Hippert, a young man, cut his throat with .
a razor yesterday, because he was charged
unjustly, as he affirmed, with having '
robbed his employers. Both leave fami
lies.
The Indians
New York, May 19.—Fort Rice ad
vices report hostile bands of Indians roving
through northern Dakota, and a strong
garrison will have to be placed on the
Northern Pacific line.
THE MODOCS
The Savages Again on the Trot—The
Troops After them.
Washington, May 19.—A despatch
from the lava beds, dated the loth instant,
stated that Colonel Mason's and Captain
Ilasbrouck's commands had formed a junc
tion near Captain Jack's last stronghold,
and would, in all probability, hem the Mo
docs in, but a second despatch, dated the
loth, contradicts the former, inasmuch
that a junction had not been made, aud
furthermore, that the Modocs had escaped
from their stronghold by three routes, but
that both commands were pursuing them.
Nothing has been heard from Donald
McKay's Warm Spring warriors.
At iast accounts the Modocs were en
camped on Snow mountain, twenty miles
south of Sorass Lake. Captain Has
brouck started in that direction on the 10th
and CdKonel Mason's command remained
in the lava beds. It is thought that Colo
nel Mason will find the Modocs this time.
Kingbury's command has been sent, to re
inforce him. McKay thinks Boston
Charley was killed in the last fight.

•'resident.
Paris, May 18.—The President has just
appointed Casino Pericr, minister of the in
terior; Tour.on, minister of public worship ;
Beranger, minister of public works; and
Waddiiigton, minister of public instruction.
The other ministers arc unchanged. It is ex
pected on the meeting of the assembly that
Perier will move the postponement of all de
bate on questions of general policy until
the territory is evacuated by Germans.
The Message De Paris thinks the Presi
dent has come victorictis out of the crisis,
and that with the ministry formed of or
resting upon the left centre he may expect
to see calm restored. The monarchists are
dissatisfied with the appointment of Perier.
At the meeting of members of the right yes
terday, speeches were made appealing to the
assembly to act with energy and rescue
France from radicalism. It was resolved
that the first business lo come before the
assembly wmuld bo a demand for an expla
nation of the policy of the new cabinet; that
if th 8 should prove unsatisfactory the effort
be made to Ibrce the ministers to resign ;
and finally that the party will not hesitate
to overthrow President Thiers if he refuses
to renounce his trimming policy.
Paris, May I!).—The programme of
the new ministry is to organize the repub
lic by the enactment of conservative laws
and wholly reject the radical plans.

Will of Mr. Chase—Last or tho Line.
Mr. Chase's will, which was made not
very long before he died, is quite short and
simple in form, and names Hon. Heury D.
Cooke as sole .executor. It has not yet
been offered for'registry, but it is understood
that he leaves $10,000 to Dartmouth Col
lege, N. 11. ; $10,000 to Wilberforce Uni
versity, Ohio ; $0,000 to his niece Mrs.
Auld ; his portrait of Chief Justice Mar
shall, by Peale, to the United States, to be
placed in the supreme court-room, and lhe
remainder of his estate equally between
his two daughters, Mrs. Sprague and Mrs.
lloyt. It is thought his estate will aggre
gate something less than $200,000, which is
not much of a fortune to leave, as things go
now-a-days. But he left his children what
few men leave, and what no money can
buy—a stainless leputation.
It is not generally known, we presume,
that Mr, Chase was tho last of his line.
Yet such is the fact. Although he had six
or seven brothers, it so happened that none
of them had male issue, and all died before
the Chief Justice. And as he died leaving
no son, it follows that the line and name of
Chase, so far as his father's immediate
branch of the family is concerned, became
extinct with his death.— Washington Star
—An impression which has hitherto pre
vailed that salt water follows the same law
as fresh water, attaining its greatest den
sity at thirty-nine degrees a minutes Far
enheit, has been dispelled by a series of
experiments conducted by Desprets and
; verified hy various experimentalists. Ilia
i experiments demonstrate, on the contrary,
i that sea water contracts and increases
- steadily in density down to its freezing
point.
Henry Grinnell on the Polaris
Expedition.—Henry Grinnell, of New
York, so long prominent in connection with
Artie explorations, •xpreMM an opinion
. that Captain litnldingtoii and Itis men liav
i jng plenty of provisions can live comlbita-
I bly on the Polaris, ami will safely return
by tho middle of Scptc-mb _r. Me thought
that Captain Hall died a natural death, as
he was heavily built, with a short neck,
and probably subject to apoplexy. He
did not credit the theory of his hiving
been murdered. Captain Hall had done
ns much as he expected him to accomplish.
It would be very proper lor the govern
ment to send a vessel to the mouth of
Smith's sound if the Polaris is not heard
from this year.
—This may be a trifle personal, but it's
the way they put things out west. A St.
Louis editor, in speaking ol a brother ink
slinger, says : "He is young yet, but he
can sit at his desk and brush the cobwebs j
from tho ceiling with his ears."
