SCHOOL EXAMINATIoN.-We visited
the principal and intermediate depart
ment of the public school yesterday
morning, and were much pleased and
in some instances surprised at the pro-
ficiency of the scholars. In the higher
branches of arithmetic Master Eddy
Allen and Charles kellyproved them-
selves very expert, and to questions

at present small, Eddy Allen being
the only scholar much advanced. In
the intermediate department the
promptness of scholars is wonderful.
The utmost-order and decorum is pre-
served, and whatever is taught is 50
practically placed before the minds of
the scholars that none but idiots can
fail to improve. We particularly no

The lady presiding over this depart
ment seems especially adapted to the
business of a teacher. We looked into
the primary department and witnessed
Miss Carrie Gregg instructing her little
birdlings. The utmost order prevail

NEW UNDER THE SUN.-Lee's circus
troupe is perhaps the only one in ex-
istenee. famed for the morality of Its
members. We are informed by reli-
able testimony that Mr.. Lee has estab-
.lisheda code of morals which is strict
ly observed by the Company. Amy

Lee is determined that his children
shall not be contaminated by listening
to the oaths and ribald jests too com
mon in such society. This OF itself
should be an inducement to parents
and guardians to p~atronlze this merl-
torious company. They perform here
on Monday next for the benefit of Our
public schools. and each citizen should
constitute himself a committee OF one,
for the purpose of inducing friends
and acquaintance to attend.

TEMPUs FUGIT.-We were some

bits of humanity solved problems

turned over by the Government to the
Silver City Guard, was brought from
Harper's Ferry and has probably seen
service; consequently, like most of
those who have served i'll the wars,

In TowN.-A. n. Fisher, State Super
intendent of Public Schools, was in
town yesterday looking al robust as
usual. We were pleased to find Mr..
Fisher in the schoolhouse Yesterday
the examination, and trust
that the interest he is now taking in
this district may tend to theprosperity
of its schools.
STATE LIBRARY.-Tke books are all
in the new library. Judge Wells has
been busily engaged the past four
days in placing the legal tones syste-
matically on the shelves-none but a
lawyer could properly perform the
