Second Day of the CarrolIton Institute.

The institute so far is a success. 1t opened
yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, with an
attendance much better than the day pre-
vious. During the entire day there was
perfect harmony, and apparently but one
object n view, and that was to find out
wherein there may be room for improve
ment upon the present modes of teaching
live interest was observable, and all par
ticipated readily and promptly in the exer
cises conducted by Miss Morris in geography,
reading, spelling and grammar. In the last
two branches Miss Morris again showed to
what advantage the black board may be
used for the suitable exercises and illustra
tons.
Rev. Owen Reide, of Gretna, delivered
an address on The Mode of Teaching" and
j. l.. j. Barth, of Carrollton, made some
remarks on The Study of Grammar
Both were listened to with much attention
The institute will close to-day.

The Fete for st. Marks Church.

The managers OF this fete generously de-
voted the receipts of Thursday night to the
relief fund of the sufferers by the overflow.
Unfortunately, however, the dark and
threatening clouds prevented many people
from attending. But the few gentlemen who
were present acted with some degree OF
liberality, and the net receipts footed up
one hundred dollars. This was very well
for the number of people who went to Car
rollton, but there should have been at least
five thousand men to respond to the call for
assistance.
The fete will be resumed tonight for the
use of the church, when all the fair attend
ants of the stands and tables will be ON
hand with their attractive offerings. We
notice that the dancing exercises at
tract the attention of the young folks,
and the limited space set apart for
the purpose is pretty well filled on each
occasion. 1t would be, in our judgment,
wise to raise the tariff slightly, and thus
turn the terpsichorean propensities of the
young gents to profitable account,
The ladies in charge of the fete are en-
titled to great credit for the patience they
have displayed in the discharge of their
fatiguing duties, especially so in the case of
Mrs. j. w. Hillman, Mrs. E. T. Fellows,
Mrs. Frye and her two daughters, Mrs.
Morrison, Mrs. Hodges, Miss Lizzie Hickok,
Miss Sophie Foulke and dozen or so more
of the lady members of the church. Mr..
Preston, Judge H. C. Caulkins, Major
Frye, Mr.. Hillman. Judge Grant and sew
eral other gentlemen have also rendered
valuable service and contributed efficient
aid to the success of the enterprise. The
worthy pastor, Mr.. Morrison, is constantly
active, ever on the alert to render assist
ance, give advice or impart useful informa-
ton to the visitors.
Altogether, the garden where the fete is
held, with its hundreds of glancipg lights,
| its beautiful wreaths, fair ladies and lively
music presents pleasant scene, and offers
a delightful nights amusement. Visitors
are not importuned to spend money, but
the gentlemen are usually very liberal.
We expect to see tonight, to witness the
close, several thousand spectators with

Two BAKERIES CoNsUMED.-The alarm
last night near twelve o'clock was oc-
casioned by the breaking out of fire in the
bakehouse owned and occupied by Mag
giore, on Liberty, between Josephine and
st. Andrew streets. Fourth District. The
house went off like finder, and before the
alarm was sounded was too far gone to be
saved Extending to the bakehouse adjOin-
ing of Mr.. Louis Spreen, the flames caught
rapidly, and this house and the dwelling
near would have met the same fate but for
the prompt arrival of the engines, which
soon drowned the fire out The courtyard
of Mr. Maggiores bakery is occupied by
several families, but the origin of the fire
was in the oven. Mr.. Spreen saves the
greater part of his -four, and all of his house
hold effects. No particulars concerning in
surance could be had.

The Overlooked District,

One OF the attaches of the REPUBLICAN,
visited the relief station on Common street
opposite the stables of the Canal and Clai-
borne Street Railroad Company, yesterday
on the invitation of Colonel c. w. Lowell
The intention was to go out in Colonel
Lowelrs boat, which has large carrying
capacity and small draft of water, with
which he has been literally supplying
his Third Ward constituents in bread and
meat for the last three or four days.
The police had, however, taken possession
of the boat, and we were conveyed in po-
lice vehicle that made the trip safely
through the water from opposite the Clai
borne market George F. Brott, ESQ.,, also
made one of the party, humorOusly insist
ing that the Ship Island Canal would have
prevented this waste of waters"
Arriving at the relief depot we found
there. hard at work, Administrators Bon.
zano and Lewis, while Administrator De
lassize was there, giving counsel and advice,
and Recorder Houghton lent to the humane
work the services of his presence. Colonel
Roy, Superintendent of Streets, was at the
relief depot, working vigorously and un.
ceasingly in facilitating the distribution OF
supplies to the overlooked sufferers.
Twenty police boats were supplying pro
visions to about twelve hundred families,
and to each boat was assigned particular
district, so that the work was thoroughly
organized.
The evaporation of the water, the grad
ual absorption of it by the ground and the
pumping out by the steam engines yester-
day has reduced the volume of the flood
about fourteen inches, measuring by the
water mark or stain on the buildings We
passed AS all the privies are washed out,
and there is decomposed animal and vege-
table matter out there, the odor was I'M
mistakably offensive.
The overlooked district is by no means
abandoned, and the occupants of houses
along our route seemed neither to be dis
couraged or unhappy under their discom-
forts. Many of the occupants use impro-
vised RATS for boats, others employ private
boats, while most are visited by the police
boats.
The heavy rains yesterday afternoon and
last night very slightly increased the water
in the rear of the city.

Paw Day for the Teachers.

The school teachers of New Orleans will
find Mr.. Chadwick ready for them to-day
with funds to give them months pay. We
learn from Mr.. Carter, City Superintendent,
that the male teachers were paid yesterday,
while the ladies are invited to call at the
Office of the Administrator of Finance this
morning at eight o'clock.
We believe the prospect is bright for the
future. Mr. Conway, the State Superin-
tendent, has yet some funds on hand, and
the city will probably appropriate sl35OoO
which, with the aid expected from the State
treasury, will carry the schools through va
cation at least.
