Public Schools.

No uniform system of awarding prizes
was pursued in the public schools, and in a
number Of the grades no prizes at all, or
other distinctions were given publicly.
In Mrs. Smiths grade, the only depart
ment of the colored schools in which awards
of merit were made, Jesse Harley and Liz
zie Gibson were the recipients.
In the white schools, Fannie Lawton re-
eeiyed the prize for scholarship In Miss Kate
Nelson's grade; Blanche Taylor, Mamie
Hardy and Watson Woodward, for scholar
ship in Miss Harman's grade; Charles Hoge,
:, for studiousness
in Mrs. Dillon's grade; Florence Meredith,
Ella Shelton and Albert Shultz, for scholar
ship in Mrs. Thompson's grade.
1t would not be invidious to speak partic>
ularly of the distinction and marked profile
iency in their grade, attained by these three
in the highest grammar grade, especially
when it is remembered that the last named,
Albert Shultz, who fully completed the
studies of his grade, including Davies Prac-
tical Arithmetic, entire, &c., is not yet u
years old.
In the High School there was no public
exercises, besides the examination of.the pu-
pills in their various studies, (which by the
way, was very credisable.j except the vale
dictory of Master Arthur Morton, which OF
its kind twas hard to beat.' It was origi-
nal, appropriate, humorous. pathetic-in
short first-rate.
Amongsta lot of very bright children in
their respective grades, it would not be out
of place. and certainly very pleasant duty
if we had the time and space, to speak at
some length, also OF such pupils as Sadie
Manly, Frank Duvalley and George Todd
of Miss Browns, First Primary Grade; Of
Mary Morton, Lou Smith and Katie Fret

A HEAVY GRADE RAILROAD.-For sew
eral weeks past, Civil Engineer E. G. Vim
cent, of this city, has been engaged in loca-
ting and experimenting the construction OF
a railroad in Allegheny county, which when
completed will be no mean triumph to en-
pineering skill, and will demonstrate that
nature has few obstacles that cannot be sur
mounted by we'll directed effort, energy and
capital, The road under construction is to
reach from Williamson on the c. & 0. r. W
TO Callie Furnace, distance Of some eight or
ten miles, traversng a wild mountainous re-
zion. of successive and almost impossible
RIDGES. To give our readers some idea OF
the difficulties to be overcome we need only
mention that some of the grades reach l75
feet TO the mile, whilst the maximum grade
on the Valley Road is 70 feet, and that there
are 81 degree curves, whilst from to II de-
grees is ordinarily considered heavy align
ment. At one point the engine will be run
ont on Y and reversed. The road is to be
of the same gauge as the c. & o. r. w., and
will be supplied with locomotives of extraor.
dinary power from the Baldwin Works.
The builders OF the road, Messrs. Hilman,
Cooke & Co., of New York and Philadel'
phia. are the owners of Callie Furnace and
the tract upon which it is located. This
tract. containing some 500 acres, is one i'm.
mense pocket OF valuable ore and will sup
Div an almost limitless quantity of the met
al. The road will De pushed forward with
yipor and Immediately put in use. Mr.. Vim
cent is now on the road experimenting the
construction which has already beer com
menced.
