VIM. N. LOOMS Second Lieutenant, Frank C.
Jones (rcelected); Third Lieutenant, G. Winter.
These elections were all made unanimously, and
the greatest good feeling prevailed at the meeting.
The Clay Guard is splendidy armed uniformed
and equipped corps, and is composed of gentle
men who are bound to make their mark whenever
an educated and accomplished officer, and his
lieutenants are fully competent in every respect
to second him.

Guards new company, (named after Mr.. Archi-
bald Glenn, one Of our most worthy citizeRs) met

numerous one, and the best feeling Of can,aradere

to command in fact, we do not think more
splendid company could be found in the city. The
Glenn Guards are to be attached to that fine regi
nent named after the hero of Manassas, and COM
mauded by Col. Bartlett. According to all ap-
pearances, the Beauregard Regiment will be one

EXAMINATION. : The Webster and Jefferson
Schools were examined yesterday. The following
list gives the corps of teachers: Of the Webster
School Miss L. A. Cavidaly, Principal; Mrs, Alb
bott, Miss Cornelius, Miss Tobn Mrs. Fisher, Miss
Calder, Miss Grant, Miss Solomon and Miss Dent
eel, Assistants. OF the Jefferson School, Mr.. W.
F. Mead, Principal Mr.: N; Craig, Mrs: Curtis,
son, Miss Lott Assistants, and Mrs. Matthews of
| the primary department.
| The examination gave great satisfaction, SO far
| as the schools were concerned, but we thought
some deficiency was observable in the spectators,
not in point of numbers or interest manifested, but
| in the comparative absence of the male sex.
| Ladies were there in abundance. Indeed, Mr..
Rogers, the able and popular Superintendent, in.
| formed us that there must have been some three
| ha nf
day. But why the fathers Of the pupils do not
take more interest in the examination we are at a
loss to imagine. Their presence could not fail to
| encourage the young ones, and their absence is
l calculated to give to the occasion an appearance
| of unimp portance.
We must chartaby suppose that the fathers Of
families have all gone to the wars and that the
male bipeds we see lingering around the streets
have no such powerful motives to urge them into
| danger as the protection of their offspring.
Some, if not ALL of the rooms of the schools were
!! beautifully decorated with wreaths. stars, and
various other devices made of evergreens as also
notices, tastefully arranged banners, ETC.
| We have only time to add, the musical entertain
| ment at the end of the exercises of the young
| ladies was agreeable.
