CITY INTEIJJGFNCE

of teaching in the Public Schools, was resum-
ed Yesterday morning. The exercises at Pub
lie School No. 5, on the corner of Monument
and Forrest streets, were of highly interesting
character. The Male Department, under
charge OF Mr.. Thos. ii. Robinson, as PRINCIPAL,
and Benjamin Charles Assistant, numbers ol2
scholars. In the Female department, of which
Miss L. Jours is Principal, and Miss L. Simp-
son and Miss Franciscus, Assistants, there are
also Pig scholars. The exercises in the various
branches Of English education, were alike cred
liable to the scholars and teachers, and recev-
ed the most fattering commentators of the
School Commissioners in attendance.
School No 6. There are in the male de-
partment of this school, situated on Ross ST.,
near Biddle, 220 scholars. Mr.. T.. Y. Reese,
principal and MIR. VIM. R. Creery, assistant.
The classes under the Principal were ready in
their exercises, and correct in their answers.
The explanations in algebra and demonstrations
in geometry, were evidently the result of an
acquaintance with those studies. The classes
under the more immediate care of the assistant
gave evidence that their proficiency could not
have been attained but by great industry on the
part OF teacher and pupils, and reflected much
credit upon both. An amusing dialogue was
conducted between two young masters Mr..
keyser addressed them.
The female department numbers $50 Scho-
lars; and has undergone an entire change of
teachers since the last annual examination
Miss Eliza Adams is principal, and Miss Anne
Eliza Cockey, assistant These ladies have but
recently assumed the arduous and responsible
duties Of teachers; but if we may Judge of the
condition of the school, the proficiency of the
scholars, well as their tact as disciplnarians.
the female department of No. is in excellent
hands. The usual exercises were gone through
with in most creditable style; and in reading,
several Of the young MISSES in the first class,
did remarkably well. Messrs. Toner Kevser.
lrelan, and McJlton, of the school commits
sioners, were present and participated in the
ceremonies.
City Court. There was nothing of interest
done in this Court yesterday. Much impede
ment to business results from the non-attend-
ance of witnesses, and we are requested to saw
to those interested in the cases of Shade and
Harkeley, Back, Price, Moffitt, Wilson, Walsh,
and Southmyde, that if they fail to answer
when again called, they may expect to be at
tached, and put in for costs, &c. The Court
meets this morning, at 10 o'clock.
Reprehsnsible Conduct. On Sunday after
noon, four persons hired one horse carriage
| from Mr. Henry Baker, in Old Town, and pro-
ceeded out to Queenstown. On their return
IN the evening, they became SO spirited, that
rapid and furious drive through various streets
of the city, irrespective of life and limb, was
the consequence, until the police Interfered and
seized the horse by the rens, when the whole
party jumped out, and at an equally rapid rate
on foot, escaped the clutches of the officers
As warrants, however, have been issued for
their arrest, they may yet learn that although
borrowed horse never tires,' the city is no
place to try his speed, and particularly on the
Sabbath day.
The Ueather--Snow. Yesterday was st.
Patrick's Day, and the weather, as is not I'M
usual on the anniversary of the birth of Ire
lands patron Saint, exhibited its freaks in a
variety of shapes. First, about ! O'Clock,
snow commenced falling rapidly, and so con-
tinued Tor an hour or more, covering the ground
to the depth of an inch. Then little sun
shine succeeded, followed by slight rain, and
finally the clouds were dispersed and the sun
came out with warmth and briliancy, melting
away the snow and drying up the sloppy streets
by noon In the afternoon, however, the at
mosphere was cool, and the wind raw and I'M
pleasant, notwithstanding the sun continued to
emit his warm rays as protection to the Gear
ly buds and flowers"
Detention. The cars from Cumberland were
detained until about 10 o'clock, on Sunday
night, in consequence of breaking the front |
axle of the tender, about l-2 miles this side |
of Harper's Ferry. No other damage done,
and sobody hurt. The cars from Phadel-
phia were detained yesterday afternoon until |
after O'clock on account of the water in the |
locomotive becoming exhausted.
Dangerous experiment. A young man, while |
playfully pushing the cars about at the outer
depot Of the Washington route, on Sunday,
caused an engine TO start with such velocity as
to run it off the track and down hill; he mar
rowly escaped injury in an effort to stopit A
heavy penalty attaches to injuries of this kind,
but as it was not designed in this case no legal
process will be taken.
Assault. William c. Merritt was arrested
yesterday, by officer Gross, charged with an
assault of an aggravated nature upon Henry
Clay Niles. He was, in default of security,
committed to jail by Allen Elder, ESQ, to APP
pear at the Saturday Court.

S. Taylor South street, was entered during the

sed to have no legal right to it. #l,
I'm Inquest. An inquest was he'd by >
