This being Judgment day" in the
House the galleries were filled half an hour
before the time of meeting. The corridors
were impossible, being crammed with late
corners, pressing for q chance to get ad-
mission. The cloak rooms aud places at
the rear of the members seats were jam
med with people. There never was before
such a crowd of curious sight-seers In the
Capitol. 1t was more than half-past IL
when the reading of the journal ended,
and when the other preliminary business
# the days session was disposed of.
In the mean time the crowds became
enser and the scene nosier. Ladies had
cen admitted within the body of the hall,
I'd stood grouped at the entrances of all
e aisles, and pressed around at the back
the circle. and many of them had
hieved promineneeby gaining possession
,'fchairs of the members. They did not
seem at all abashed or conscious Of being
out of place, on the contrary. they wore,
for the most part. an air of keen, anxious,
determined persistence and eagerness in
pursuit of their object, such As character
lies them when they flock to fashionable
auction.
Mr.. Haldeman of Pa. apparently i'm
pressed with the incongruity of the sur
roundings, made a motion that the floor
lie cleared of all, but the Speaker. informed
linn that the doors had been opened by
unanimous consent, and that it was too

their curious, expectant gaze to the floor

Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
and the 800 Masks entered by couples, CON-

galleries was singularly picturesque and
gay.

The school In District No. 9, closed on
the 10th inst, after term of twelve
weeks. This school was taught by +. W.
Foster. OF Trenton, on the Normal plan,
and has proved an entire success. The
examination at the close, witnessed by
large portion Of the citizens Of the district,
demonstrated that there had been real
teaching. and was alike creditatle to
teacher and scholars, and source of
pride. and pleasure 20 all present. We
think the old prejudices against the new,
or Normal method Of teaching in this
district, are well nigh overcome, and
parents have come to feel as though they
would like to attend school themselves.
Mr.. Foster commences a term Of high
school in this district on the sd inst.
which viii continue 10 weeks.
