EXAMINATION OF THE HEBREW
SCHooL-The examination of the
Hebrew School was continued yester-
day, and resulted most satisfactorily,
not only to the teachers and officers
of the school, but also to the large
number Of spectators present, among
whom were number of the teachers
of the city public schools, anG other
citizens not Hebrew. There IS a
sprightliness about the pupils that is
really refreshing, and among them
may be found some unusually bright
intellects.
One of the best recitations yester-
day was the class in arithmetic, which,
with the teacher, was put through
their exercises by a young Miss
Fanny Kahn, who exhibited not only
rare talent and proficiency but also
an extraordinary aptness to teach
others.
The first class in geography did
very well. but were not as perfect as
the primary class on Tuesday. An
arithmetic class examined in the
afternoon did not acquit themselves
with the readiness they usually ex-
hibit in class. The classes in Ger
man seemed to afford much gratifica-
ton to parents and teachers; and
upon the whole the examination was
creditable.
To-day the examination will close,
and will be chiefly of the German and
Hebrew classes; and it should be
borne in mind that all the classes are
taught in three languages at once
English, German, and Hebrews
that they rarely recite more than

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.


FIRST BOYS GRAMMAR.-The ex.
animation of this school yesterday
completed the Grammar Schools. II
Is taught by Mr.. A. j. McCUTcHEoN,
principal, and Miss EMMA ASHLEY,
assistant. The number registered
during the term, Y; present at ex-
animation, SO. The last examination
of this school was very much below
the standard. and was by no means
creditable to the Public System; so
much so that it was very severely GEN.
sured by the Superintendent. The
Trustees found it necessary to re-
move the previous principal, and Mr.
McCUTCHEON has been in charge only
about two months, so that he could not
be held fully responsible for all defects
which might manifest themselves at
the examination. But we think the sx-
ercises of yesterday were an agreeable
disappointment to the officers, parents
and friends who were present. The
department, in which the school has
been most defective heretofore, was
very good. The recitations were gen.
orally good, and none of them fail
ures. The greatest defects we noticed
were in reading and spelling; in the
former the pronunciation was in too
many instances erroneous, and in both
the enunciation was not distinct. In
geography and grammar, the scholars
acquitted themselves well, showing
that they have properly comprehended
the studies. In arithmetic, both
mental and written, the examinations
were creditable, though too many
were made to pronounce
them perfect. The class in physiology |
manifested considerable hesitation in
their answers, but made no blunders |

School next year. is the largest of any

every year. A failure to build the
E., III. and N. Railroad would secure
the success of the Elizabethtown and
Paducah road, which was designed to
pass directly through the country
from which valuable trade vas now
drawn to Evansville. On the COM
pletion of that road, this immense
trade would be diverted from this
city, and once gone to Louisville, it
could, perhaps. never be regained.
Mr.. Bisch followed, using substan
TALLY the same arguments, with the
additional one that the road would
be a benefit to all alike, the me-
chanic, the merchant, aud the manu-
facturer. The mechanic or drayman
who paid city tax on 800 would
only be required to pay Is cents each
year, and he concluded that that
amount was by far too Insignificant
sum to stand in the way of a great
enterprise, which could not fail to
double or treble the trade of the city.
The Turner Band was in attend
ance, and discoursed good music.
As far as could be judged, the peo-
pie were pleased with the arguments,
and doubtless dispersed with the de- ]
termination to vote for the subscrip-
ton of the stock on next Monday.

plant that he had gone into dead

mated by the appellation of whisky

white man to change a two-dollar
bill, that be might pay comrade to
whom he owed quarter. The man
took the money, and the negro AYERS
that he never got cent of it back.
The man to whom the quarter was
given left on boat Immediately upon
receiving his money, and the negro
had no witness and was unable to
obtain redress. though His Honor
freely expressed his conviction that
the negro had been swindled out OF
his money, as he seemed to be an
honest, Woodworking man. There
are some things in this world mean Ell

RAILROAD MEETING LAST NIGHT
Speeches were made last night in favor
subscribing stock to the Evansville,
Henderson & Nashville Railroad, by
Col. Cheatam, Mr.. A. L. Whittlesey
and Mr.. Victor Bisch Col. Cheatam
spoke briefly, but was quite pointed
and convincing in his arguments. as
surfing his auditors that with the sub
scription of Evansville, the road would
be completed as early as the year
1868. Already forty miles of
the road was completed, extending
from Nashville in the direction of this
city, and sixty miles more of the pro-
posed road was already graded He
set forth in foreible language, and
with excellent logic, the great and vi
tai Importance of the road to this city,
as means whereby the trade already
gained in western Kentucky and in
Tennessee, could be retained and in
creased, and urged the people not to
let this great opportunity to serve the
commercial interests of the city pass
/. without seizing hold of it.
Mr.. Whittlesey urged that the i'm
portance of the road to Evansville
was greatly increased in view Of the
fact that Louisville was now engaged
in reaching out for the trade that
section OF country from which this
city derives large business, aud said
that it was a matter of rivalry between
Evansville aud Louisville as to which
should control trade now val

The Hebrews of the city have just
cause to be proud of their school.
We have to thank four bright-eyed
little misses for one of the most ex-
quisite' bouquets we have seen this
Season, presented by one of their
number in neat and captivating style.
Fourth OF JuLY.-Ample prepar-
ations have been made for the cele-
bration of the 4th of July, on grand
scale, at Blackboard Grove, near the
city. Arrangements for the comfort
of all who feel like celebrating our
National day will be completed, and
plenty of good speakers will be in at
tendance. The exercises will be va
ried, with music, vocal and instru-
mental, rope walking, and exercises
by the Turnverein Society. All are
invited to attend.
A SHAMEFUL AND CowARDLY OUT
RAGE.-We are informed that on
Monday evening a respectable lady,
while walking along the street at
dusk, in the upper part of the city,
was accosted by a being who disgraces
the form of white man. She resent
ed his ipsolence by bidding him be-
gone, and in reply to his inquiry as to
where she was going, told him it was
none Of his business. Thereupon
the cowardly creature-we will not
call him man-struck her on the
back of the head with a brickbat, |
knocking her down.
He was arrested, and on Tuesday
had hearing before Justice David
son, who fined him $25 and costs. IF
it had been in his power, he should |
have fined him ten times that amount, |
and sent him to the penitentiary for
life. Our city is full of outlaws and
kns YES just at this time, and there
seems to be no remedy, unless the
people take matters in hand as they
did in San Francisco some years ago.
COMMENcED.-The first stone in the
foundation of the new JOURNAL Office
vas laid on Tuesday afternoon, and
he work is going steadily forward.
It is the purpose to push this work
Onward with unprecedented rapidity,
vail is already up p 10 rhe- cop -or enc
econd story, and there are but two
,ther walls to build. The stone and
wood work are already prepared, and
short job will be made of it; and in
few weeks there will be towering on
Locust Street the handsomest print
ng Office in the West.
The foundations for Mr.. A. Refs
new building have been commenced,
and are being put up in the most sub
,tantiaI manner, with excellent build
ng stones from the quarries up the
river. This will add another beauty
% lower First Street, and will nearly
complete that block to the Mozart
Hall, which will probably be super
,eded in year or two by a magnifi
cent business block.
Strangers visiting our city from all
parts of the country declare they have
zen no place on the continent that
gives such evidences of enterprise
and prosperity as Evansville. With
the Evansville, Henderson & Nash
vile r. r. built. and new first
class hotel, we will be prepared to
start out on the road to commercial
wealth and importance with strides
seldom equaled even in the growth of
Western cities.
