Representations were made to the Board that tlieie was a división of sentiment in our City, not so much as to the removal itef. for nearly all would be glad to see it reraoved, but as to the appropriation of $16,OOÜ by the City to secure it. The proposal to remove not liaving come originally from the Regents or any of the officers of the University, the Botrd did not wish to proceed with the work at the risk of dividing our eitizens on so important a financial question, question more immediately affecting the city than tho University. It was, therefore, deter tnined'to abandon the project, and a resolution was paseed authorizing the thorough repair and enlargementfof thejpresent building, provided the necessary funls shall be securad without drawing upon the University fonds. It was intimated to the Board that if this course was adopted, our City would probably appropriate aay $3009 in its aid, in lieu of the $1Ö,OO offered to secure the reinoval. The Common Council has, thorefore, ordered a tax-payers meeting to be held at the Court House, on Monday evening next, to ct upon a proposition t appropriate $3.000 in aid of repairing and enlarging the ObserY&tory building, improving tlie streets adjacent thereto, etc. Our citizens, under the eircumstances, can hardly refuse to do this ■with honor to itself. J3CT The coutracts hare been let fr the ereetion and completion of the M. E. Church, corner of State and Washington Streets, for which the foundations is now being laid. The contractors are, for the mason work, Mr. B. Mount, at $12,500; for the joiner work, including, however. the cut-stoue and glass, Wines, Malloey & Doüolass, at ♦29,961. Add to these amounts, the contract pricefor the foundation, $1,500, and we have n aggregate for the building complete, ex. clusive of the cost of plans, lot, upholstering, organ, and " extras," of $43,9G1. We trust that the work will be done in such a manner as to refiect credit upon the contractors, the lenomination, and our city. i - G On Friday e eniüg last an attempt as made to rob the safe of Si,awson & Son, Grocers, corner of Huron and Fourth Btreets. Entrance was effected through the cellar, a hole drilled through the ouler shell of the door, and powder evidently used. The burglars were jirobably frightened oft.
