RECEPTION OF FEMALE GRAMMAR SCHOOL
NO. 20.

The annual reception OF this school, which is
under the charge Of Miss Mary A. Maclay, princi
pal, took place yesterday morning at the school
house in Chrystie street. The large hall OF the
school was handsomely decorated with bouquets
of flowers, bird cages, vines, &C. The pa
rents and friends Of the pupils filled the
spare space almost to sufYocat0n. On the platform
were Superintendent Riddle, Inspector william +.
Mcnamara, Trustees Edward j. Knight, George I.
Patterson and George Kinzer, Wesley s. Yard and
others. An interesting feature Of the pro-
gramme was the Indian club exercise and the ring
exercise In physical science. At the conclu
sion OF the exercises Mr. Riddle presented several
diplomas to pupils who enter the Normal College
and addressed the school. He was followed by Mr..
Mcnamara, who delivered very appropriate
address on woman's sphere and duty in the
world. He portrayed the power Of music and
Its influence on the home circle. He advised the
young ladies to steer ceer Of the agitating women
OF the day, and pictured the young ladies teaching
their brothers and fathers needlework, showing
them how to admi mister psregoric, while they
would 60 out into the haunts Of trade and expound
the law. Her true sphere was At home, and she
who performed her duties with unapplauded zeal
was OF more value than all the warriors OF history.

Verdict I'm n Cotton Case.


Before Judge Van Brunt.
r. Wilson 4 co. vs. O'Day OstermoOr. Tho
plaintiffs in the early part OF 1859 claimed TO have
had 900 bales OF cotton in the warehouse OF Mr..
Oimstead, at 500 Washington street. On the 1st OF
February fire occurred in the warehouse, burning
up the cotton on storage. The fire insurance COM
panies on investigation satisfied themselves that
there was not so much cotton on storage at the
time or the fire as claimed by the plaintiffs but
only 1874 bales, and they agreed to pay for
Onehalf OF this on the planti agreeing to bring
action against the warehOnseman, Mr.. Olmstsad,
and the defendants O'Day and OstermOOr. The COM
panics had ascertained that the 10th OF January
ODay had removed to Ostermoor's place Ill bales
of cotton and on the 3lst OF the same month fifty
three bales. 1t was claimed by the plaintiff that
ODay and OstermOOr did not have any cotton on
storage at Omsteads place at the dates mentioned,
but removed their cotton. The complaint, az here
tofore reported, was dismissed AS against 0mstead;
verdict was found, however, against the defend
ants named for the full amount claimed, $16,679.
A. J. VanderpOel for the plaintiff; O. s. Spencer
for Olmstead, and Erastus Cook for O'Day and

STOCKS DULL AND STEADY
The stock market was intensely duh and was
again but thinly attended, owing to the general de-
parture OF brokers and operators for the Long
Branch races. To philosophical mind the current
dulncss is a curious subject for reflection. Looking
at the almost deserted hall OF the Stock Exchange
and at the rigid steadness OF the market it is dii-
cult to fancy that the scene was ever so
animated as during the panic Of 1869, or
during the later exciting periods of the
Rock Island ''smash" and the Chicago crash.
To the impatient seller who wishes the market to
rise. and to the anxious buyer who wants q decline,
be the degree Of movement desired by either
large or small, 1t would seem though the
time would meyer come when the nuc-
tuations would ever exceed their present
trining extent. Yet, before the year is out, maybe
before the summer is out. both parties may see the
market go in their favor or against them ten to
twenty per cent. The only feature to-day was u de-
cline of X per cent in Erie, the renewal OF It'll
CATION and the bad showing OF earnings for the
third week in June, the last reported.

THE EXTRA HOLIDAY-A COMPROMISE
The Governing Committee held special meeting
this afternoon and yielded to the demand for an
extra holiday at July SO far to order the Stock
Exchange building to be closed from tomorrow
"wednesday, at two O'Clock until Friday, at noon,
the adjournment on Saturday to take place at two
O'Clock P. M. This arrangement gives general sat
isfaction and fairly compromises the dispute to
an extra holiday.
THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS.
The Treasury programme for July was COM
menced to-day with the purchase of bonds but
although million was advertised for the total
amount offered was only $s2s,35O, at prices rang
ing from 1855 to 1890 The price Of gold being
1875 the accepted bonds were only $3OO,s5O at
1898 to 113.74H.
