First Girls' Grammar. This school is taught by Mips Britton.assisted by Miss Anna Farrell. There were seventy-five girls present for examination,1 yesterday morning, , not withstanding the 'inclemency or the weather.. The classes examined were the Fourth Class in Reading and Spelling, the Second Cbvs ia Arithmetic, the Third Class ia Geography, he First Class in Arithmetic, the Second Class in ' Grammar,' and a Class in Physiology. Each class re: jited- for half , an hour. -Between eaetr' recitation a recesg of five minutes wa8 allowed the pupils. We believe " the same plan; has,: been followed ' ' during ' much ; 'of ;' the session, and ' seems to .work' well. The1 scholars - are - revived ;: and eheered by the five minutes relaxa tion, iand pursue, their ; studies and recite their lessons with more spirit and zest in consequence. A new ' feature, 'to' usyhas'bee a introduced in reading classes. 1 he scholars are required to substitute words of. a similar meaning, for many that are in ihe text. To do this, they must have a clear .knowledge -of the . Meaning as well as the pronunciation of the words contained , in the reading lesson: The exercise i both pleasant and profitable. The i Fourth Class seemed to be quite1' proficient in this particular. The Arithmetic classes manifested a more, thorough knowledge of the ttudy than is usual even in .our schools. ? The rapidity with, which ex-f aro'ples 'were "solved on the blackboard was surprising. The attention paid by the teachers to the fundamental principles of the science will be of inestimable va'ue to their pupils in future years. The classes in Grammar' and Geography -.did well. There was! an animation and,' readiness, added to closeness of attentioa, that,was. pleasing to visitors. The ansverS' were 'always prompt and seldom wrong. 'What' these young ladies: have 'learned,-they know.'5 The class in Physiology recited very well ' radeetE.-it is astudy that must result in good to every girl and boy who ! pursues it,1 by improving their bodies as well as! minds, v It; is gratifying1 to .refleet.,that:yur .children.' "are . early taught the Scriptural ' injunction, AFTERSboN.-r4The.: Third Clas9 in Reading was the first 'called'' in 'the afternoon. Wenoticed a little indistinctness of, enunciation .and rather !r6ueh; rapidity on theRrt'of seme of . the:7scholars, ' but generally : ihe class -did itself much credit. The deunitions. were promptly and intelligibly given. The Fourth Class' in Ariihmetic : did excellently in solution, - p.nd made few failures in the definitions. I; The First Class in Grammar under the searching questioning" of the Superintendent, manifested quite : an; accurate. (comprehension of the study. There was nothing demanding criticism in the examination of the'SecdCJ'ass jnGepgraphy.there being fewer .jucorregt. answers given thau,' in, ny? of, the exercises pf the afternoon. r The class in 5 German proDOuaeed 'f hr language tolerably correctly but . di 1 not 'translate, with mttchyflencIf.'tneV.exaainaUpn Was not as satisfactory as might have beipu desired, it is Wbe" remembered that this was entirely a new study in the"scool, iul tooi much ig -oot to bie expected the fiirtr term, ,'Pnof; Tinker rapidly went over the progress made by the school in the study of- the science'' of -music; and demonstrated 4 ajl present thai it is Entirely prac tical as a part of the; regular, course of itJsfructiorr At?

LOSS. FRO 31 $4,000 TO $6,000. BUT L ITJLE - INSURANCE. About one and a half o'clock yesterday, the alarm of fire was sounded from one of the fire bells in the lower part of the city. The occasion of the alarm was the burning of & threestory frame building, on Water Street, just i below Division, owned by Willard Carpenter, and vfcupied by a negro man' named Scott, as a boarding-house -and saloon. One of the boarders ; had built a big fire in . her room, in ' the . third story .pf the . building, and had gone out, locking; the door. It was supposed that the fire caught from a defective flue, catching as it did in the third story. The fire had gained considerable headway before it was discovered; indeed, it was not discovered till it burst ' forth through, tho roof,: There was a little delay on the part of some to sound the alarm at the engine houses tho furthest away, but the engines were out in remarkably quick time after the alarm was heard at the stations referred to, and did goodservice when therer We believe that engine No. 1 got the first water on the fire. The flames fpread rapidly, and as the building- was an "old and light frame, it was almost destroyed before the engines were set to work'. The building next'to it, up the river, known as the National rllotel, caught in the rear; and be fore" the" furniture could ' all b taken out, one side and the roof was on Sre, ' but by a vigorous application of. water, the building was saved from entire destruction, though in a greatly damaged condition. The building' belonged to ;Dr; Bray.-'In the house burned down there were a number of wagons, and nearly all the furniture was destroyed, some of the negroes not aving' even their wearing apparenMosJtiOfihftfurnjture in the National Iotei,wasdestr9yedt i -On Mr. Carpenter's home there' was no fnsuraqce,..

Mr. Hedderich being present stated that he: would. make the necessary provisioa for them," i; Several cases of erroneous assessment were referred to the Committee on Erroneous Taxes. : . Mr. Hedderich appeared before the Council and complained that person) were in the habit of congregating ou the corner of Third and Main Streets, eo that ladies could not pass and asked that the Council take the matter under consideration.' Ordered that notices be put up in that vicinity asking people' to pa on, and not to block up the sidewalks; Mr. llueo complained that there were a great rn;iny barrels of coal oil stored at the Blue Warehouse, and urged that measures be taken for the removal of the name. Ordered that notice be given 'at once for the removal of the oil, and that an ordinance be drafted forbidding coal oil being stored at any one place in such large quantities. ' lOrdered that an ordinance 'be drawn up for the government of persons sinking privy vaults, and making certain restrictions relative to the sinking ef the same.'' j ! ' ' ( .

'-'.A Good 'Move. Last night the City "Council Ordered that an ordinance -be - prepared . forbidding the storing pf coal oil, benzine, and like combustible fluids, in lante quantities, in the city.rThe occasion' for the orofer7fof thin ordinance was a report that at least 200 barrels of coal oil were stored' at the Blue Warehouse, near the scene of the late fire. Had that building" caught fire, 'with tho CJ00 barrY'LTof coal bil in it, ft would have been out of the question to calculate what the destruction of property would bave been. The ordinance will be adopted by a unanimous vote on the part of the Council. 1' A Good Ide.v. An order was made by the "City Council last night, to have notices put up at the corner of Third and Main Streets, forbidding persons congregating on the corners, and obstructing tho sidewalks, This is a good idea, as. street loafers are in the habit of gttoarc-gating on the corner at the otl Washington House greatly-' 6 the annoyance of ladies paaiog.ttiat way. - tbawb at Autxcv.
