In recent number of the National Iatelli-
gencer appeared an article in relation to the
Education of the Colored People in the Dis
trict, from which we copy the extract below
AS Miss Lord, the teacher referred to, is sup
ported in her field of effort by the Portland
Society, we have thought it might be of inter-
est to many of our readers. After remarking
that the most complete system of graded col
ored schools in Washington is to be found in
what is called the New York Branch School,"
which was organized ON its present basis in the
spring of 1865, the Inteligencer says:
This school was fortunate in being organized
on scale commensurate in some degree to
correct ideas as to the essentials of good
graded school. The location of the school in
the spacious barrack building ON the corner of
Fourteenth and NJ streets gave them large
number of scholars and ample quarters for
schools. They were also exceedingly fortunate
in securing most discreet gentleman as SUI
pJrntendent, Rev. E. A. Newton, who has pur-
sued his work with unobtrusive fidelity, his
management being marked in all its
stages with the highest intelligence and
sterling good sense. The teachers were Sc
lected with wisdom, and in Miss Julia A.
Lord of North Yarmouth, Maine, they secured
teacher for the high school whose ample
qualifications for her position leave nothing to
be desired The school consisted originally of
some six grades, the highest comprising those
who could read smoothly in one of the lower
readers, and included arithmetic and
geography in small way; while the
largest portion of the scholars were i'm
the alphabet or spelling out words of
one or two syllables. The school was SO well
managed that, with the personal exertions of
fine teachers with the parents the children
were not only induced to be regular and prompt
in attendance, but continued term after term;
and there are many now in the high school
whom we saw in the school nearly
two wears ago The grade of studies has been,
of course, greatly raised in the high school, SO
that now those of the second grade-interme-
diate-are above what were at first required in
the high school. M
This school was originally started by what
was called the Freedmens Aid Society, but,
merged last year in the Union Commission, IS
now called the New York Branch" They
purchased lot on M. street, between Six
Ieehth and seventeenth streets, and erected
large scoool-house, divided into eight fine
senooi-rooms, taking possession at the begin
I'M OF the present school term. They have
on tue lot also two school-houses. each design
ed for single department., and the school is
therefore IN ten departments or grades. The
rooms are full, and altogether Accommodates
about six hundred scholars.

THE PUBLIC TRIAL OF THE
STEAM FIRE-PROOF SAFE.

REPLY TO THE FREMONT CoMPANY's CARD.
There is in the Portland papers of yesterday
morning "Card" in regard to the public trial
of safes in Boston last week. The same card
appeared in the Boston papers, and perhaps
the reply made to it there will answer for this
locality, especially if taken in connection with
tt e burning of another of his safes Just wit
messed in Portland. 1t is as follows: r
To THE PUBLIC:-The communication of
Messrs. A. Hardy and G. L. L. Damon in some
OF the Boston papers cf yesterday morning, in
regard to the recent trial of safes ON the Back
Bay, requires brief notice, for through ieal-
ousy they have been led into error in regard
to matters of fact. They complain that their
safe was placed where the fire was hottest, and
that the trial was therefore unfair. But they
omit to mention the stubborn fact that my lit
tie sheet iron trunk safe, only 16x20 inches in
exterior dimensions, stood next to it, precisely
in what they style the most Exposed place at
the leeward end of the line," and that every
thing in it came out unframed.
The large safes were burned against each
other, in the same fire, one was DESTROYED the
other not. The three smaller safes were burn
ed against my little trunk, which stood with
them, and according to these gentlemen's show
ing, was even more exposed than they, and be-
ing thus, the trial was not unfair for their safes
1AS W uHc &c Sdit COuJdlulIS lily Improve
ment, it was not on fire inside, as these writers
state. Nothing was touched with fire but the
wood that lay against the red hot filling out
side Of the steam protection. Everything with
in the safe was perfectly preserved, and would
have been if the fire had continued twenty-four
hours longer, for not more than one-tenth OF
the water had evaporated, and need not state
to intelligent readers that the interior of the
safe could not have burned while filed with
steam. .a-3

eminently deserving public confidence; but il
the business men of Boston are not satisfied
with this tia, I hold myself in readiness to test
my invention at any time in another trial with
the fremont Company's safes, or any others,
on the one condition that the party whose safes
are destroyed shall pay the whole expense Of
the trial. t4r-.4l t4
The undignified cant at the close of the COM
munieation, to which no Christian gentleman
would descend deserves no other notice than
this: My safes are not sectarian; if theirs are
they will not stand the fire.

we are permitted to quote the following ex-
tracts from letter received in this city from a
gentleman of high character residing in Con-
way, N. H.:
L am familiar with the country from Conway
through Albany Uio Swift River to the height
of land in Woodstock, and / have no heslta-
ton in saying that railroad over TINS route
can be built with much less expense imam over
any other route through the White Mountain
range do not think the grade over this route
will much exceed so feet to the mile.
Conway is about 40 miles distant from five
railroad depots, TO witt Gorham, N. H., on the
north. Paris, Me-, northeast, Unionville, south,
Meredith, west, and Gorham, Me-, ON the east
The natural market of the whole country of
which Conway is the CENTRE is Portland. For
the last twenty years the subject of a railr Dad
for the accommodation of this section of the
country has been agitated. The war postpon-
ed it for time. 1t is now renewed and will be
continued until we have railroad Our inter
ests are connected with Portland because it is
our nearest seaport If Portland must have a
railroad for the benefit of its Western trade
will it not be well for her to select a ronte that
will forever connect her interests with this sec
ton Of the country, especially as it is undoubt-
eddy the cheapest and nearest route to Ogdens-
burgh? t
The projet of extending the Great Falls and
Conway road to Conway is not given up, but il
accomplished it WILL after all be of little con-
sequence in comparison with road to connect
your city with Ogdensburgh through this
country. The former would be only branch
road while the latter would be a thOroughfare
for the trade of the great West, sweeping
through at the same timea country OF 40 miles
in diameter now destitute of railroad facilities.

Trial nr AaFns

A trial of fire-proOf safes came off Yesterday
in Lincoln Park, in this city. There were
three safes; one of the fremont Company's,
Marlands patent, No. g.; one of Tilton g. Nc
Farland's, No. 9; and another of the same
make and size, containing Sanborns steam i'm
provement, all new safes; and sheet iron
trunk, 16 20inches, also containing Sanborn's
improvement These were all placed in a row,
the two containing the steam apparatus be-
tween the other two. r<t
Papers were placed in each of these safes
and in the trunk, and fires were kindled soon
after o'clock in the morning. At u o'clock
we visited the place and found the fires briskly
burning, men being engaged i'm heaping wood
upon them. At that time smoke was issuing
from the outside safes, and steam from the
centre one; the trunk we could not see, for it
was buried up in live Goals to the depth of near
foot. Between two and three o'clock in the
afternoon the fires were raked, and the safes
and trunk allowed to cool off,
At half past five o'clock in the afternoon the
trunk and safes were opened in the presence
of the committee, and large concourse of
citizens. The trunk was opened first, and the
contents. which were in a small tin box, placed
inside of the trunk, were all safe-not paper
being singed Or even smoked, and the tin box
bore no marks of fire. The water in the me-
talc tubes was not exhausted, showing that
steam could have been generated for a much
longer time.
The next one opened was the Marland safe.
The papers were all destroyed and the wood
work was all charcoal Then the Tilton &
Mcfarland safe, without the steam apparatus,
was opened, and the moment the inner door
was opened sheet of fire broke out, which
burned until all the wood work was consum-
ed s7'H s@ 4 GO"
The last one opened was the Tilton & McFar-
land safe with Sanborn's apparatus. The pa
pers enclosed in the tin box inside were in per-
feet order, and so were those in the wooden
drawer. The fire seemed not to have touched
the inside of the safe, and the water in the
tubes was not exhausted.
The trial appeared to give satisfaction to all
who witnessed it. We presume the commit
tee, which was composed of some of our most
prominent citizens, will make q report upon
the matter.

a runaway horse, attached to a sleigh, was
racing through Portland street, and in attempt
ing to turn up Hanover street, passed between
staging and building, on the corner of the
street, tearing down a large portion of the
staging. On the other part of the staging
which was some thirty feet from the ground
three men were at work, and the spectators
who witnessed the scene expected to see them
dashed to the earth. But that portion provi-
dentially stood, the workmen standing thun-
