In the arrangement of medals among the different departments the committee have introduced no important innovation, nor were they authorized to do so. It has been proved necessary however to make some change in the construction to be placed on the medals for deportment. It appears by the teachers' statements that there is no possibility of making this award upon the basis of deporiment only, since so large is the number of those whose school demeanor is unim- peachable, that it would be impossible to select. It was therefore unanimously dceided by the committee to award these medals to those four pupils, among those unexceptionable in deportment, who had come nearest to prizes in other directions; and this has accordingly been done. In the case of the first prize in deportment there was a special reason also which will be mentioned in its proper place.
The Bullock medals are awarded as follows :
Classical Studies :
Esther M. Harrington. John W. Partridge, Dexter Tiffany, Emma S. Morse.
Mathematics :
Charles S. Hall,
Mary G. B. Wheeler,
Anna E. Aldricb,
Julie A. Rockwood.
English Literature :
M. Louise Jenks.
Uhistory :
Frank R. Firth.
Chemistry and Physiology :
Lillian Sanderson.
Drawing :
Mary A. Metcalf.
87
French :
Isabella A. Chase.
Composition :
Caroline Barnard.
Reading :
Mary F. Wentworth.
Declamation :
Preston D. Jones.
Department :
Lizzie C. Goodwin. Mary E. Farley, Eliza F. Forbes, Fanny H. Coe,
The first of the sereceives the medal as coming very near to the prize in drawing, but still more for an act of positive honor which occurred during the prize examinations, bat which it is not necessary to make public. The second receives it as ranking very high in Latin, French, and composition ; and the third for equal exellence in Latin, com- position, and English literature. The fourth receives it as ranking second in composition, which may fairly be viewed as the most diffi- cult competition of all, as being the only one in which the whole school take part.
It may be proper to add that the graduated tables upon which these awards are based, have been prepared in most cases with great care and will be deposited with the teachers, for preservation, as well as for the inspection of the scholars.
The following names should also bave honorable mention, in addition to those to whom medals have been awarded, since they often appear creditably in several different studies.
Classical Studies: Frank E. Wetherell and Albert E. Lamb. Also Claudius M. Jones and Henry P. Holmes, who received diplomas and medals a year ago, and honorably declined being regarded as candidates this year, being in the position of resident graduates, though still connected with the school.
Mathematics : Minna S. Fitch, Mary A. Harrington, Ann E Hall, Mary E. Partridge.
88
Chemistry and Phisiology: Ivers S. Paine, Fred. S. Pratt, Sarah E. Goddard, Eliza Barnard. French: Vashti E. Hapgood. Composition : Josephine S. Breck.

CITY OF WORCESTER, AUDITOR'S OFFICE, Feb. 17, 1863.
To the Honorable City Council :
The Auditor, to whom was referred the within report of George W. Wheeler, Esq., City Treasurer, has carefully examined the same, and finds it correctly cast, to agree with the books and sustained by proper vouchers.
The Treasurer's Books have also been examined and found to have been kept in a neat and systematic manner, and are balanced to Jan- uary 5, 1863, leaving a cash balance of $10,946 94, in the hand of the Treasurer.
All the papers and vouchers appertaining to the Treasurer's de- partment, are properly filed in the office, and all the duties of the office have, evidently, been discharged with fidelity.
