The Commissioners of the institnfiou were In session lor two days last week, Friday and Saturday present, Dr. Charles E. Johnson, of Wake, John A. Taylor, of New Hanover, B. J. Er win, of liurke, Dr. W. J. Blow, of Pitt, and Kemp P. Baltle, A. M. Lewis- Ed ward Cantwell, and W. W. Holden of Wake. - There were eighteen applicants for the office of Matron of the constitution. The letters of the applicants, with their testimonials, were all read; and each ap plication received the most respectlul and attentive consideration. Miss Mi nerva T. Metidenhall, of the County of Guilford, was selected lo fill the office. The selection is considered an excel lent one. Miss Metidenhall, it, is believ ed, is peculiarly qualified for the labo rious and responsible duties of the of fice. The Executive Committee, charged conjointly with the Superintendent, I)r. I-'isher, with the management of the institution durng the recess of the Board, submitted a report detailing ihe opera tions and improvements siuce the last meeting; which was accepted and ap proved. The members of the IJoard made a patient and careful examination,, of all the wards and of very department of the institution, and found every thing in a satisfactory condition. They al so visited and examined the watei workie, and found litem nearly com pleted. The machinery needed is now on the way from New York; and it is expected that by the 10th of July the buildings will le lighted with gas and plentifully supplied with water. , An excellent road has been corftruc ted by Mr. John. R. Harrison, under the direction ot the Superintendent, from the Rex grouuds to the Asylum gate. ' On Saturday evening eight patients two females and six males were brought before ihe Board by the? Super intendent, and discharged. They ap peared to be entirely restored. They conversed rationally and sensibly, very frankly declaring that it was fortunate for them them that they had been rent to the Assylum, aud expressing the be lief that they were again prepared for the duties of life. Such a result, while it is gratifying . to every friend of hu manity, furnishes at the same time the . best evidence of the competency and fi delity of the officers of the institution, of the benefit which may be realized from ti by those uufortunately bereft of reason. ' , The meetings of the Board were char acterized by entire harmony and jthe most cordial good feeling; aud they se parated, to meet again in November, with renewed confidence in the ad vance menl aud prosperity of the institution, and themselves encouiaged toptrsevere in the dischatge of the duties confided by the Legislature to their hands. ON THE CENT. We had a painful trial of our pa tience to-d.iy. An, individual, with a show of fiiendsbip, approached us at a time when suspicion was asleep, and in a tone that would "wheedle the devil," asked what difference there was between the new cent and an old fashioned quar ter. We looked in his eye but saw iher no expression beyond a mere inquiry for information, and, after giving tbe unb jeet suitable reflection, replied, " Don't know." "Don't know !" said he, M why fere's twenty-four cents difference, im'i there?" It seemed very evident, that he was right. Host on Gazett. " Sonney, does your father take a pa per?"

Mr. Hugh Masterson and about twenty officers, who had been appointed by the Sheriff to keep possession of the city property at the Street Commissioner's office, re mained in charge, last night.- This morning, atxut nine o'clock, Mr. Mas lersou placed his men in the Southern room of the office, in the form ' of a semi circle, so as to command ihe en hance to the private apartment of the Commissioner aud the gate which leads behind the railings, where Mr. Cono ver took up his station yesterday, until he was ejected. .These arrangements had jnst been made, when Mrt Conover entered the office and demanded admission in the rear of tbe railings, exhibiting the Gov ernor's warrant. s an authority for so doing. This document though bearing ihe Governor's signature, and the great seal of the State, produced no particu lar conslernation among the officers to whom it was shown. Mr C. as before, was told that he could not be admitted, and, upon bis refusing to comply with a polite request to leave, ho was hustled out sana ceremonie. He made only a slight resistance, aud sustained no inju ry to speak of in tbe conflict. ; Mr. C, who appears, ambitious of re peated martyrdoms, persisted in intru ding on the forbidden ground again, shortly after the ejectment, but Jhis time contented himself with stopping in the middle room of the suite belonging to thn Commissioner's office, seated him self at a desk, and assumed an air of being perfectly at home and ready to perform any official business that might be. presented for his consideration. Mr. C 's reign as Street Commissioner was once more suddenly brought to an end by Capt. Bennett, of tho Third ward police, who courteously asked the intruder to withdraw, stating in an al ternative, that he (Capt. B.,) had orders from the Mayor to exclude him. Mr. C. still refusing to leave, the alternative was applied by the Captain, and the Albany appointee was for the third time forcibly transferred 'to the -entry. Mr. C.V relish for being put out appeared to he satisfied al last, and he lelr the Hall of Records for parts unknown, though it was rumored,, that he straightway hunted up Governor King, who is now in this city, and sought consolation and advice from that distinguished gentle man, who has so kindly taken thegov ernment of the city under his charge. Shortly after Mr. Conover's exit, the Sheriff entered the office of the Depart ment and made a fnv remarks to big deputies, instructing them as to their fu ture conduct. He directed them not to interfere in the conflicting claims of Mr. Conover or Mr. Turner, but simply to perform the duty for which 'they were placed there 1 hold the property of the office in safe keeping. The .office was then locked up (Mr. Turner retain ing the key,) and a force of deputies were stationed in the entry as a guard. . A large crowd were assembled about the Halt of Records this forenoon, talk ing as energetically as ever but noth ing more. Jour. Com. REMARKABLE SUICIDE. On Saturday evening lust, -a middle aged horse of respectable appearance walked deliberately over the river bank, al a point where it was almost a perpen dicular descent of twenty-five feet. Af ter performing this extraordinary feat, he walked out on the wharf of the Messrs. Gait & Young, and coolly step ped on board the schooner, W, H. Burns which lay close to the wharf, lie then walked across the schooner and jumped into the river from the waist of the ves sel, and after 'swimming out as far as his strength would permit, he sank to make food lor the fishes. " The motive for this extraordinary su icide was locked up in the breast of this poor beast, and perished with - him ; whether he was crossed in love, or was laboring under morbid forebodings in view of the coming hay crop. -We only know he perished by his own hands, or rather his own hoofs. - Poor fellow ! his body floats just above the Long Bridge, a sad warning to all horses of the danger of giving way to misanthro pical feelings Peare to hts beef ! . Washington Star. HOW HE LOST HIS HAIR. A ! Norfolk .paper tells the following story : .. ' ,. '. ' . Uri Or good and Jonathan Aiken were on opposite sides of politics last Pall, iu Grundy County, and the fight between them tlwy were running tor Congress grew warm and desperate. One day wheu they met on the stump, Uri, whose head was bald, and should therefore have been cooler, in the midst of his in dignation turned upon Jonathan and said : -.v;,, , ..... .: , ... "I think, Su, you have but one idea in .your head, and that is a very small one; if it should swell, it would burst it." Whereat Jonathan grew ted in the face, and looking for a moment at the bare and venerable head of his oppo nent, asked ifheshoujd say whatv he thought of him? V iu,." : . . ; :w -. .Say on," said Urt -'. r - "Well, I think you5 haven't ope in your head, aud never hadj thereV been one scratching around ou tbe, outside, trying to get iu, till it has scratched all the hair oS, but it's never . got inland never will." v - : o Uri was silent. V . MASCULINE EXTRAVAGANCE. It is very common to blame the wo man for the extravagance and display that afflict our social life, and perhaps it may not be easy to defend the lair dis turbers of our peace; but h is very . easy to sustain equal . charges . against the other sex, who have less excuse for the offence, particularly of extravagance in dress. The following communication in the New York uPost, iu reply to an article from the Newbury port Herald is very just : v - 'A few days since an article appear ed m your - paper under the heading of Who Marry and have Children in America T The article in question cer tainly gives a correct view of the state of society, so far as it goes, but if only goes half-way. Is the blame for the ex travagance in living all to' be laid up on the women of thi3 country 1 Ok tainTy not. The, article sjeaks . of the extravagance of the female portion of the community in carpets, pianos, wet nurses, &c, but it does not mention Fifth avenue palaces, costly horses and vehicles, and splendid churches. Cer tainly the women are not to blame for these. Look at the expenses of our young men in fashionable dress," bran dy cock-tails, mint juleps, oyster sup pers, Spanish cigars. I think that if the account were balanced it-is doubt ful which side would preponderate I apprehend that the fault in extravagant living pervades the whole community, both -sexes being equally to blame. Even our funerals have become so cost ly that one can hardly afford to die--You may be sure that our youug wo men are as careful aoout entering into mat rimony as the other sex, and quite as unwilling to make themselves wretch ed by marrying thriftless aud dissipated young men. ' FANNIANA. A Boston paper tells a story of the ec centric ex-actress, Fanny Kemble. who is sojourning and read ins Shakespeare in the City of Notions. Whether true or not, it is, as our cotemporary says, Moo good to be lost." The lady in question, ii.-rging the bell of her parlor, iu the hotel in which she resides demanded of the waiter who answeied if, ' . . ; Where are the clothes I sent to be washed yesterday ?" , They aie not ready yet, madam." ' But I want them." -" But they are not ready yet, madam." " No matter, tcavt them. Send your master here."- 1 he waiter exits, and presently one of the clerks presented himself at the door. - - . ' Where are ltrosJ clothes I sent to be washed yesterday V 'f Really, 'madam, they are not yet in readirtess to send to your 'room." "no matter, sir, I want them. ' Sorry, madam hut " " 1 Want them, sir L Send your master Here 1" The clerk bit his lip and withdrew, and ere many minutes the affable Mr. X knocked. , "Well, Mrs. how can I serve your . ... , - . - ." Where are the clothes, sir, I sent . to be washed yesterday ?" . - "They are trot ready yet, madamf And why not, sir ?" " Simply because they are not ready, madam." - 1 " Send them to mc. sir " I wish tkem? - - ' "r ' i Mr.X bowed himself out, and in a few Tnenrents returned, heading a de tachment of waiters, Carrying two im mense wash-tubs. ."Now, Mrs.- ? asked Mr.'X " will you have the goodness to select from those tubs the articles whkh may happen to be v ours", JUDGE LYNCH: While one of the Supreme Court judg es was recently staying at Paris he went to visit a French professor. The French man asked the stranger a number of questions, and.among the rest, " VVhcre do you five TV Iu California," Well,8 said the rude Gaul, "what is your occu pation J" am a judge of the Su preme Court,,, "O, ah t". returned the Frenchman, then I need not ask' your name ; it is Lynch, eh V "-. A writer in a Memphis paper recom mends ,the subjoined plan lor killing crows : - ' - ' ' - Take a horse hair two inches long, tie a knot at one end, run it through a grain of corn, and throw the grains broadcast over your farm. The crow will swallow the grain the hair sticks out at the mouth, and produces irritation aud inflammation, which ' causes the crow to commit suicide by clawing his throat for relief. This is no humbug. TIME VO RETIRE.
