PUBLIC SCHOOL ExAMINATIoNs.-The ex-
animation OF the pu bile schools were continued
yesterday afternoon as follows:
Primary No 1, (female) First District, Miss
Amelia Hubbard, teacher, numbers forty. six
little girls, and may be called q branch of Miss
Robinson's primary No. 2. as all scholars
ceiyiDg tickets OF admission to Miss Robinsons
school, who have never received an v teaching,
are placed in charge of Miss Hubbard until
sufficiently advanced to be transferred 70 pri-
mary No 2. This school primary No. u is
taught by what is termed the s'object system"
which consists of placing objects before the
scholars upon which questions are asked and
illustrated. This system was introduced here
by Miss Hubbard, who is from Os wego, N. Y,
cess
The various classes of this school were SUBJ
lected TO very close examination by Messrs
Wilson and Richards, but the scholars acquit-
ted themselves we'll in all the branches they
had studied.
The room in which this school is held is a
large airy one, on the corner of 10Th street and
pennsylvania avenue, but unfortunately there
terferes with the studies OF her own scholars,
from the confusion created by classes OF both
schools meeting at the same time
Primary No. :, Second District Miss Tilley
teacher.-This school is for boys, and is located
on 9th street west, near street, in the same
building as Primary No. 9, examined on Thurs
md IN nod in thn ~ r1cyr
The scholars number sixty, fifty -one of whom
were present at the examina alton, seven being
absent on account of sickness. The school was
examined by Mr.. Wight in reading, writing
and other simple exercises, with very salts
factory results. The children all manifested
interest il their studies, and since the organi-
Zation of the schoo, about two months since,
have made encouraging progress.
Primary No 6, Third District Of which Miss
Somphronia Lusby is teacher, was examined
yesterday afternoon by DIR. f. S. Walsh, in
reading, spelling and arithmetic in which they
acquitted themselves very creditably. The
school has on its rolls the names of sixty boys,
only two of whom were absent, one on account
OF sickness. This school is taught on the lower
floor OF the building at the corner of eth and g
charge Of Miss Tripiett. Miss Lusby is one of
the new teachers, having assumed charge in
February last, and her examination proved
that she possesses the requisites of a good
teacher Sne has apparently paid impartial
attention to the three classes. The order was
good 1t was cheering TO the examining trustee,
number OF visitors were present-a fact we
would like TO notice at all examinations.
Primary School No 3, Fourth District, Miss
Alice Adams. teacher, was examined yester-
day by Mr.. J. E. Holmead, assisted by Mr..
John T.. Thompson. This school. house is on
18th street. south of Maryland avenue, and is
one OF the new small frame structures built by
the Corporation for schools of this class. 1t is
rather a favorable specimen OF this style of
81 sr9Itnrs, being wen ventilated and Cheerful
decorated with evergreeps, and upon the walls
appeared a likeness of the late lamented Pres
ident. We believe every school room in the
District has a similar likeness OF MT. lincoln.
We are glad to say that there was q goodIy at
tendance OF parents and others. OF the sixty
names the roll there were fifty. six present,
four being sick. There are from seventy five
to one hundred applicants for seats Miss
Adams school ranks Well amongst the prima.
ries Of the city, and sustained its reputation
amply yesterday: the examining trustee at the,
close expressing his entire satisfaction with
the progress made.

MCTINoUs CoNDUCT.-Day before yesterday
an outbreak occurred at AnandaIe, Fairfax
county, Va, about seven miles from the Long
Bridge, among the cavalry, which for short
time threatened to become very serious. The
9th and 10th n. Y. cavalry regiments had been
consolidated into one, called the I'd Pro.
200 men, and had participated in all the cam
paigns of the cavalry corps, winning an envi-
able reputation Tor gallantry ana emclency
The 18th numbered l,1OO men, but had not seen
much service, and in consideration Of the SER
vices and experience OF the 9th about two
thirds of the officers of the new provisional
regiment were appointed from among them
This eDraged the men of the 10Th, who claimed
that their number should entitle them to at
least one half Of the officers, and on Thursday
night they fired into the camp OF the 9th and
rallied for big fight. The firing was returned
briskly, but the cavalry having been deprived
OF ammunition, in anticipation OF trouble in
snlinatiDH the regiments. nniat
restored, with but few casualties.
To BB MUSTERED OUT.--The 93d New ork
regiment, (yeterans,) Lieut.. Colonel Clifford
commanding, has received orders to prepare
the rolls of its men for mastering out This
regiment was raised by Colonel Orocker, who,
in 1862, with Major Cassiday, was captured on
the picket line by the rebels, on the Peninsula.
