evening sent a telegram from the Western
Union Office in this city to an interior town
in Austria and yesterday morning at eight
o'clock Wade King waItzed majesticly into
the bower of oranges, bananas, figs and pine
apples and delivered the reply. This makes
only eleven hours, by our time, for the round
trip and is really lightning speed Consider
ing the necessary delays in transit and trans
mission by home Offices, it takes ones breath
away to talk with Austria within so short a
space of period. Truly great is science.

physician and surgeon has come to the front.
That is he has removed his office from the
Willis building on King st. and taken pos
session of the quarters formerly occupied by
DR.. Grindley, over Fosters drug store where

tients will take notice Of this change in his
official location.

SCHOOL EXAMINATION.

The examination of the pupils of Miss
Walters department yesterday WAS very in,
teresting. The morning was devoted to
mathematics, in which branch the scholars
gave evidence of great proficiency. Some of
che problems were quite difficult, but they
were worked out promptly and with great
accuracy. Mr. Howe conducted the examin-
alton, and while giving very fair questions, put
them in such a way as to make thorough
inquiry He remarked to the visitors that,
while it might look as if the pupils were hur-
ried in placing them within limit of time,
every allowance was made in the grading for
the amount Of work done, and that the OBJ
jeot was to make them work promptly as
accurately. The demonstrations by the
scholars we're thorough and showed a sensible
understanding of the subject matter General
Edwards, one of the regular examiners, was
present, and took part in the questioning
His queries were, of course, out of the line of
the text book, but brought out the principles
of the science Of arithmetic and tested the
understanding of the scholars. Some Of his
questions on interest, the mode of computing
it in this State, as compared with others, and
references to stock transactions, displayed
the general information of the pupils, and
enabled him to explain some points which
could not fail of being of use to the rising
generation. Quite number of the friends Of
the children were present, and all expressed
ent, one new gentleman occupied a back
bench, but he took lively interest in the
proceedings. Miss Woods department, at the
school house ON the Warm Springs street, will
be examined to-day.
