topics of the day at considerable length. He
accepted the democratic new departure as an
acquiescence of the enemy in the righteous policy

MUSICAL EXAMINATION OF SECONDARY
ScHooLs.-The public examination of the sec
ondary schools of this city in music, was a new
feature, and also progressive one, in our COM
mon school system of education. TWAS beau
tiful sight to see one thousand happy faces in
Mechanics hall yesterday afternoon, and to hear
their voices blending tremendously with the
great organ and grand piano. Mr.. E. S. Mason,
the teacher of music, gave an illustration of the
method adopted in this city of teaching notation
with practice by the pupils, by which it was
shown that the pupils are taught, first, to pro-
duce the tones, and then read the characters
which represent the tones, by letter, syllable and
number. After singing various lessons by note,
the teacher called upon the schools to sing any
one note in the lesson, which was done with a
degreeof promptness and certainty in pitch that
would have done credit TO children of ripper years.
The various teachers performed their part adj
mirably in bringing IL cir schools into the hall,
and the pupils deserve a word of praise for the
good department and interest manifested on
their part. Mr.. B. D. Allen presided at the
organ. Miss Ingraham very kindly consented
to sing song to the children, which was cor
daily received, and Miss H. A. Taft presided at
the piano. At the close of the examination Mr..
Marble said, in behalf of the chairman of the
music committee, that the examination was in.

STRAwBERRIEs.-The finest strawberries we
have tasted, this season, came to us from Mr..
+. j, Kinney, of the Pine Grove Nursery. A
box of Jucundas, large, handsome, and excel
lent, seemed as good as need be, until we tried
the other box which was filled with Charles
Downings, equally large, quite as handsome, and
still better. The last named variety is said to
grow finely and bear well. Most cultivators
who have tried it, recommend it as one of the
very best for cultivation; and, certainly, the APP
pearance and quality of the fruit ought to salts
fly the most fastidious.

EXHIBITION OF ROSES AND STRAWBERRIES
An exhibition of roses, cut flowers and straw
berries was held in Horticultural hall, yesterday
afternoon, in accordance with the annual Gus
tom of the Horticultural society. Although the
display was on view but two hours, it recon.
mended its beauty to two or three hundred
ladies and gentlemen, whose taste for such as
was shown led them thither, and called upon
them to praise the flowers and berries in high
terms while there. The number of contributors
was not large-it never has been in years before
and 1t cannot be expected that an exhibition,
including only Strawberries and such flowers as
are in bloom at this season, will be of great mag
nitude. The flowers were arranged on two tables
set lengthwise of the hall, with the Strawberries
in quart boxes at the upper end. shedding n
suggestive fragrance plainly distinguishable
from that of the roses, and appealing as strongly
to the sense of taste as did the brilliant and
fragrant beauties of the flower stands to the
sight and smell.
Mrs. A. d. Foster had large collection of
roses and cut flowers, including many rare vari-
cites; Mrs. Daniel Tanter's display occupied
the long table on the right hand side as we
enter, and contained in its numerous varieties
of many beautiful blossoms, seldom seen here
abouts; Hon. Stephen Salisbury exhibited sew
eral varieties Of cut flowers, and curious
plant of the lycopodum species, growing on a
large chip Of wood suspended from the ceiling,

way as to warrant the organization of the class
