THE MATRIMONIAL MANIA.-De-
spite the manifold complaints of hard
times. there seems to be no disposi-
ton on the part of the young ladies
and gentlemen throughout the coun-
try to foreQo the pleasures of oonnu-
bal felicity. Scarcely a boat comes
to this port without bringing newly
married pair
"Two souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one"
On the last down trip Of the Arma-
da, she took a pair of hearts just
thus made happy, and on her up trip
she was called upon to furnish accom-
modations for three pair of turtle
doves, who had just been united in
holy wedloek.
Yesterday, among,the passengers by
the steamer Lewellin, were Dir. Ja-
cob f. Ross and wife, nee Miss Della
f. Maxwell, who were married on
Sunday last, at Savannah, Tennessee,
and who visit this city on their bridal
tour. Captain DAvS says they appear
so happy that it makes him wish he
was young again, that he might go
and do likewise.

THE WEATHER.-The appearance
of the ground hog on Tuesday has
unsettled the weather, quite. The
rain that set in at z o'clock on Mon
day night, continued with but little
cessation up to six last night, when
the wind shifted to the northwest, aud
the rain changed to snow, which con-
tinued to fall with more or less vehem-
enee up to midnight, with signs Of
continuing until morning. Most of
the snow melted as it fell, but at mid
night it was nearly an inch deep on
the roofs of those elegant cottages
between the JOURNAL Office and the
river. The day throughout yester-
day was about as inclement as we
ever experienced, and if such is the
influence of the ground hog. we don't
bet on him a single cent. Possum
would be just as good. Our advices
from all quarters indicate that the
storm is prevailing all over the coun-
try. Last night the wind blew quite
fierce, causing the steamers arriving
great trouble in landing.

Upper GRAMMA5l School. - This
school is held in the High School
Building. It is taught by Miss
Goulding. Miss Locke, WHO has
charge of the Training School, is the
assistant. The number of scholars
registered during the past term was
68. The average attendance 90 20.
The school is divided into four classes
or divisions, each class pursuing the
same studies. During the examina-
ton the school was divided into only
two sections. The studies in which
the scholars were examined were
Reading, Geography, Mental and
Written Arithmetic, Grammar, and
German. The examination was thor
ough. The pupils manifested a pretty
clear comprehension of their studies,
and answered the various questions
propounded to them with the full
average correctness. In Geography
an exercise in outline map drawing
on the blackboard was inirc-
duced, which was interesting to the
visitors and must be profitable to the
scholars. The examinations were
closed by some rhetorical exercises,
which were also very pleasing: Com
positions, written by the pupils, and
selections. we're read. Then, taking
up various subjeots-such as caves,
caverns, cascades and falls of water,
mountains, and distinguished authors
each pupil was required to tell IN
his or her own language what they
knew concerning them. This exercise
called out the reflective powers of the
boys and girls, aud gave the visitors a
fine idea of the distinctness with
which the descriptions they had read
or to which they had listened. had
been photographed upon their minds
It also exercised their knowledge Of
the English language. 1t was in
structing them how at once to apply
their opportunities for observing
hearing and reading.
At the termination of every inter
mission Of five minutes, the school
under the direction of Prof. Tinker
engaged in singing some very prett.
songs.
The examination to-day and to
morrow will be in the High School
Friends of the school arc invited t.
be present.

A BREAK DowN.-One of the cars
on the street railroad suffered COM
pound fracture of one of its forward
wheels yesterday at the corner of Cen
ter and Leet Streets, where there is a
short curve. The car was let down
with jar, but fortunately no serious
injury was done. The disabled car
was removed from the track, and will
be speedily repaired. This, we be-
lieve. is the first accident that has
befallen the street cars since they
were put in motion more than year
ago. We hope that like good for
tune may continue to follow the road,
which has proved real convenience
to our citizens, if not a profit to the
company.
