The NORMAL SCHOOL.
First Quarterly Examination.

The frat quarterly examination Of the Wash
ing'on Normal school took place yesterday morn
ing in the Franklin building. The class Of the
year Is an uuexceptionably fine one, and under
the thorough instructions Of its teacher, Miss
AnLie Smith, the young ladies have gained .
wonderful proficiency in the art Of teaching In the
short space Of quarter.
The examination yesterday was conducted by
Superintendent Wilson and Miss Smith. The
manship, in which the young ladies were required
TO explsip as If to q class, the fundamental prin-
ciples of the various letters OF the alphabet The
next subject, botany, was treated In similar
manner. Each student was furnished with cer-
tain botanical specimens, and required to give q
comprehensive technical description of each. Tbs
exercises in teaching were particularly interest
ing. One member Of the class took charge OF a
Female Primary school, and put 1t through an
exercise in phonetic reading, and another gave an
object lesson to O class Of little girls.
Tho young ladies who had been selected to lead
the classes were carefully watched by their class
mates, each Of whom jotted down whatever in her
opinion appeared TO be an error in Judgment, man.
ner or method, and when the class az ain assem-
bled the notes were brought out and the young
teachers criticised. Another interesting feature
of the examination was model class, composed Of
students of the Normal school and conducted by
one of their classmates, the SUBJECT being number
During the morning the school was visited by
Trustees Hart, French, Smith. Randolph and
Hovey, ex. Trustee Joseph NJ. Wilson, Mrs. Lane,

The pupils attending the Rhees building, in the
Second school district, held last night, under the
direction Of their principal, Mrs. A. S. Gary, o
reception at the John F. Cook school buIlding,
which was largely attended. The scholars pro-
sented neat appearance and conducted them
selves in q highly creditable manner, and enter
tanned their parents and friends In very credit
able manner. The exercises consisted Of singing
and rhetoricals by the pupils, and the selections
were especially noticeable for their adaptabllity
to the tender years OF those participating.
The ladies Of the Second district who inaugu-
rated there weekly receptions have certainly,
Judging from the large number who attend and
the interest manifested, succeeded in bringing
the parent In closer connection with the pupil in
the school-room, and are assisted thereby In gov
erning them to q better advantage.
The pupils Of Primary No. 2, Miss NJ. A. o.
Coakley teacher, will, on Friday evening next,
November 10, hold their reception, and promise

There was q very good attendance at the union
meeting at the Congregational church, in the
evening. In the absence Of Rev. DR.. Gray, who
was prevented from preaching by the sudden Ill
ness Of his wife, Rev. Drs. Noble and Sunderland
delivered addresses. Rev. DR.. Rankin announced
that they had received Invitations to hold the
meetings next week at DR.. Sunderland's and the
Calvary Baptist church, but as It appeared that
the latter had actually been accepted at previous
meeting Of the pastors, and the church was ex-
pecting them, the meetings would be held at the
Calvary Baptist, commencing on Tuesday evening
at 7:l5. 1t Is understood that instead Of regular
preaching, the meetings will be thrown open, and

turfsts will deposit their ware and products for

philadelphia and other Northern cities, as
well as in many largo market towns. The

upon the Vice President at his room at the Capt.

greeted him with q smile Of recognition, at the

be seated. He was propped up in bed with pill
lows, and held in his hand white rose taken
from beautiful bouquet which had been placed
upon q table at his bedside. He spoke cheer
better. 1t was noticeable, however that he was
exceedingly nervous, both from his talk and the
restless throwing about Of his head and arms,
though this nervousness may have been more the
effects Of opiates administered than anything
else. He conversed freely, bnt mis- physicians are
desirous OF keeping him as quiet as possible, and
