The ExcURsIosIsrs yesterday numbered by the
railroads thousands, and by the lake steamers hun
dreds 1t appeared to be everybody's ambition to
get as far out Of town possible and to stay out
long as possible, within one days compass.
We saw several gentlemen Juggling very heavy
bricks about town last night in their hats. We found
they were the last survivors Of large crowd who had
been over the lake, helping Edward Kingston Boyd
to inaugurate his Madisonvle Hotel for the summer
season. By all accounts and appearances, Boyd had
been Adoing the thing up brown,' and the Ravens
wood brought back all sorts Of crowd.
On the lake, opposite Dan Hickoks, there was
considerable sailing sport among the yachts. A

THE ANNUAL EXAMINATION Of the Fourth District
schools commenced last week, and will finish this
week. The Chestnut, Live Oak, Laurel and Magnolia
Schools were examined last week. We were unable
to be present, but from those who were present we
have the most fattering accounts of the displays
made showing teachers and pupils alike in the most
favorable light, and fully testying the pride which
the citizens Of the Fourth District have ever mani
tested n regard to their system Of public education
The examination Of the Girls High School is to take
place tomorrow that Of the Boys High School or
Thursday, and the Annual Exhibition is to come of or
Thursday, in the Felicity street Church. The remain
ing examinations and the exhibition will be highly
gratifying to all friends of popular education who cal
find the time to attend.
THOUGH THE DULLNEss OF SUMNER become
daily more visible in the thinypeopled thoroughfare
and in the suggishness of trade, it is not by an
chorus of the trowel the jackplane, and the saw,
never more widespread or spirited in New Orlean
than at the present time. Whole acres of brick WALL
are springing up on the sites Of the burnt cottor
presses, and new cotton-press is building; paatia
stores singly and in and blocks, and reaching
skyward in different sections the most splendit
private residences adding new beauty to all quar-
ters Of the city, whilst residences Of the humble
class and cheap cottages extending the suburbs
streets are being ripped up and reaid in every direc
ton; and 60 where you will, the din Of improve
ment strikes your ear, and piles Of building materia

squat old buildings of the Second District are bein
i leveled to the earth, to be replaced with edfce
worthy of the age in which we live. 1t is harves
time with the builders now, and more extensive an
remuneratiye harvest they have not had within OF
