Not TRUE.-The assertion made by
the MtclEge"cer yesterday that the col
ored men had no special invitation to
join the proceedings Of Monday, is un-
true. Both the societies of Odd Fellows
and of Good Templars were invited the
same as the white societies. The state
mcnt that they did not tear up their
bouquets and trample them in the dust,
is untrue, as can he proved by hundreds
who saw it. The statement that the
police force had anything TO do with
Encouragement ofthe line, or prevented
the colorcd folks getting i'll behind the
other tOotmcn, i untrue. Col. Hubbard
stopped the line of negroes, and ordered
them to fall in behind the carriages not
"the carriages containing the Mayor
and speakers, but behind all the car
rages. With the exception of these
and several falsehoods about the Dem
ocracy, the article may be taken as a
sample of how close the MtclL;geHcrcan
get to the truth and never tell it.

advise the managers of the festival at

4 dollar for cold collation. Ii, 1t strikes

The FIRE ALARM TELEeRAPH.-The
fire alarm telegraph on exhibition in
the old Express office, corner of Market
and Monroe streets, was the great point
of attraction yesterday. 1t was visited
by thousands Of our citizens to whom
Mr.. Gardiner explained the object
and operations of the system. We
heard nothing but words of common
dation of this mode of giving alarms,
and wish that it might be adopted in
this city. 1t will not cost more than
5000 to put it up and Tor a sufficient
number of alarm boxes to supply all
our present needs. To-day Mr. Card
uer wishes to see all the members of
Council and the insurance men that he
may explain the alarm to them The
ladies are greatly interested in this
alarm and should examine it. Under
our present system if a fire breaks out
all the men about the house go to see
where it ia, and that their places of
business are not in danger, and the
women are thus left unprotected. 1.-THE
fire is the work of an incendiary, who
expects to rob houses while their in.
mates are gone, the field is thus left
clear for him to operate. BY the use
of this alarm one can tell without get
ting ont of bed the locality of the fire,
and know whether their property or
bushes. is in danger or not Go and
see it everybody, and let us have free
expression of opinion as to whether
Wheeling will have it or not.

RIVER NEws.-There is but six feet
in the channel now and falling slowly.
We have reports from above that cause
us to look for pretty full river again
We are informed that there have been
heavy rains on the mountains during
the past two days, and that the streams
are bank-full. II this be 80 We Will
have all the water we want in a day or
two. 49,.
There has been very little business
done at our wharf for week. In fact
there is very little freight of any kind
moving just now, and river men JOIN
their prayers with others for more green
backs. The fact is there is not money
enough to transact the business OF the
country, and-trade of all kinds suffers
in consequence.
The new Express is a very handsome
boat, and will be credit to our boat
builders. Lookingat her from the foot
of Monroe street, she resembles the IA
nous General Lyle, on smaller scale.
The r. r. Hudson will arrive to-
morrow at noon, and will leave for Gin
cinnati on Saturday at 3o'clock. She is
one of the best boats on the river, and
is of 40 light draught that she can run
when everything else has TO tie mp.

gagements, it would be n wonder If II
were otherwise. She leaves this morn,

OBSTIUCTING SIDEwALKS.-Thcre is an
ordinance in force in the city against
obstructing the sidewalks in any way or
shape, yet it is very frequently disre-
garded, and often the narrowest side
walks are covered with barrels, boxes
and other msightly movables. If one
merchant can do this all can, but as
sidewalks are made for the convenience
of pedestrians and not for private mo-
nopoly, we hope to see the ordinance
against harricading them enforced.

Sims has placed us under deepest obi
cations in submitting for our inspection
a New Jersey shinplaster of the year
1853, and an almanac of 1868. The
paper money was made before our con-
tinental currency, and is a well pre-
served and unique specimen Of early en-
craving and printing, and could not be
purchased, were it ours, at any price.
1t reads thus: "Three shillings No.
295l. This bill by law shall pass cur
rem. in New Jersey for Eight Penny
weight and eighteen grains of PLATE.
Dec. 81, 1863. Three Shillings." 1t is
signed by John J. johnson, Richard
Smith and W. E. Smith, and is sealed
with the royal arms of England. On
the reverse side Is the engraving of a leaf
and the terrible information, ITO coun-
terfeit is death" 1t was printed by
ia. Parker, Woodbridge in New Jer-
sey." The same blue silk threads are
to be seen in the paper as in the paper
on which the new shinplasters Of tc-lay
are printed 1t is a most interesting
and valuable relic.
The almanac is called THE Univer-
sal American Almanack, or. Yearly
Magazine, fitted TO the latitude Of 40
degrees, and meridian Of near five
hours West from London, but may,
without sensible error, serve all the

of remark that the fret day of June fell

A MODEL ScHooL.-Few of our read
ers are aware Of the great improve
ments being made in our Public Schools
and to what degree Of efficiency they
are attaining. oflate more modern and
substantial buildings are being erected,
and better furniture and school fixtures
provided. A visit to the First Ward
School has convinced us of these facts.
The building was completed but short
time ago, and is now the best arranged
in the city. On the first floor there are
four spacious rooms, well lighted and
admirably ventilated; on the second
floor we found like number of rooms,
equal in every respect to those
on the first floor; on the third
floor there are two rooms similar
to those below, and large hall run.
ming the entire length of the building.
This hall has not as yet been provided
with furniture, but it is to be hoped il
will soon be fitted up in proper style, as
it can be admirably arranged for school
exhibitions, examination exercises, &c
The halls throughout the building are
large and spacious, while the stairway:
are well and substantially constructed
But what we intended to speak o
more particularly, was the mode Of con
Quoting the school. Those who desire
to see fine building should pay thii
school visit. Too few of our citizens
take the interest in the public schools
they should, or they would visit anC
encourage the teachers more frequently
The scholars yesterday appeared to say
"Oh, dear, what can the matter be,
Parents don't visit the schools"
Never have we observed more perfec
discipline in school, and never hav,
we seen a better behaved set of scholar
than those we visited yesterday. W,
saw the school as it was, heard the re
citations going on as usual, and the
manner in which the pupils acquitted
themselves was truly creditable to thos,
teaching as well as to those taught
After witnessing this we could accoun
for seeing such bright and Cheerful
faces in the First Ward school.
At the commencement of this scho
lastic year Mr. Z. &. Bundy was selected
Principal of this school, and since tina
time the undivided attention of tina
gentleman has been given to advancin;
its interests. To-day there are fou
hundred and thirty-four children in TIT
school, in charge Of Mr.. Bundy anC
eight lady assistants. Every room il
the school reflects credit upon the as
sistant assigned, and as a whole the in
stitution Is a model school.
We are pleased to see a desire on thu
part of the Board of Education and CITY
Superintendent of Schools to improv,
every appliance and educational in
tercst, and arc of the opinion that if on
citizens generally would visit these in
situations of learning, those having
charge and supervision Of them would
feel greatly encouraged, and would pro
baby do still greater things
