THE OLDSoIITH WARD Testimonial to a School Principal. One of the most interesting occasions in which we ever remember to have par. tiolpated was that of the presentation ' at the Scott House, lest evening, of a tea timblial by the pupils tf the old South (now Second) Ward School, to their pre. captor ' Jas. B. D. Maeda, B e g , the Prin. oipai of the school. Mr. Meed.'eonneotion with the ward began with the establishment of the first free school, which war opened Septem ber 11th,1885, in Hyde's carpet factory, on the site of the Monongahela House. In 1889, the school was removed to the cor. ner of Fourth and Cherry alley, and in 1841 to abu lding erected for a school roam, corner Fourth and Ross, by Henry P. Smith, now occupied as a Methodist Mission Church. In 1848 the present ca• pacious school building was erected. on the corner of Kass and D.amond streets, and in 1849 it was occupied as a school n. use, the two original teachers, Mr. sheds and Miss Pursey, having increased In nine, with Mr. !deeds as Principal. Among the old Directors of the Booth Ward were Thomas and Bacj P. Base,. well, Sr., Alex. Jaynes, Dr. George D. Bruce, ;211.inps Tindle, Richard Biddle, T. B. bails, Geo. Ogden, John Gal.. lagher, Wm H. Williams, John F. Quigg, Jas. W. Woodwell, L. Wilcox, lion. Geo, Wilson, James H. Bertram, J .nathan Kidd, B, McLain, Andrew Fleming, Reuben Miller,Jr , Trios. Steele, Theo. Bryan, Martin ehm, Juhn Mar shall and many others we cannot now recall. The first Board was composed of Bich. and Biddle, T. B. Dallas, Dr. G. D. Bruce, Geo. 4Jochran, of lticnard, Andrew Fleming, John P. Bakewell. A large number of the ExaDirectors, several old citizens of the ward, the press ent Board of Dire3tors, Mr. N. Nelson, formerly assistant teacher in the school, a number of invited guests, and over one hundred of the old scholars, nearly all now heads of families„were present. About eight o'olock the company as. sembled in the parlors of the Scott House and after a short time spent in listening to most exquisite music, discoursed by a vocal and instrumental band, composed of J. W. Pope, T. L. McLellan, Ed. Jay Allen, Jas. McClatchey, Ab. Westervelt and Edward Jones, the escort committee, consisting of Dr. Andrew Fleming, Geo. W. Weyman and Andrew Patterson, brought Mr. Meads in a carriage and placed him in front of a table in the parlor, where the testimonial was placed. The grit selected was a copy of a rare and valuable work ills Encyclorrelia Brittannica, in twenty-two volumes, with the inscription in ea.h: '•To J. B. D. Meed.., from the old scholars of the South Ward Public School, as a token of their regard for his personal worth and their respect for him as a teacher." Ed. Jsy Allen, Esq., presented the testi. monial, in a most elcquent and feeling address, expressing the kindly feelings be• tween teacher and pupils, alluding to the different staticns occuppied by the old scholars and closing witu earnest wishes for the future prosperity of the recipi. ent. Mr. Meeds replied, in a voice choked with emotion, detailing hie connection with the school and invoking Heaven's choicest blessings on his old pupils, Atter this ceremony, a fine bouquet from the nursery of the Messrs. Lowen, old pupils of the second Ward, was presented t 3 Mr. Meeds and he received the congratu lations of all preBent. Some time was now COL 9U mod in exhibit ing old mementos of school days, examine ing the rolls, &o , and in attaching auto , graphs to a finely executed testimonial card. At ten o'clock, after more music from the band, the company adjourned to the supper room, where the next half hour was spent in a manner agreeable to all present, who did ample justice to the splendid repast provided by Mr. Marker, of the Bcott House. After supper the following officers took their places: President—Edward Jay Allen ; Vi2e President—A. Westervelt, Secretary—H. H. Kcalt.l3. Letters were read from several absent scholars, viz: John W. Patterson, Joseph C. Butler, Wm. K. Woodwell,:Dr. A. D. Fundenberg, Capt. John H. Chambers. A despatch was read from the latter gen% tleman, with the following sentiment: “As the pure fountain sends forth its waters, fertil:zing the valleys In a thou. sand streams, so has the Old South Wag School sent forth Its pupils, who, scatters ing abroad over the land, have refreshed and vivified the communities where they live, thus bearing the fruit of the Inatome, Lion thence derived, and causing them to gratefully remember thesource of their in fluence and power as worthy citizens of a cauntry of which they m y well be proud. J. H. Camenses." A number of toasts were now read, some of which we publish : Our Honored Instructor—Hay his cup of happiness be edwa)s lull; and may he be cheered In his journey through the chequered and ever changing scenes of life, when he reverts to the memories and akso eiations which clu-ter round the happy past and the never to be forgotten scene which presents itself to his view this even ing. Response by Mr. bleeds. The Union under the Constitution— The chief corner stone on which lasts all our hopes as a nation; cursed be all plot ters and schemers against the one or the other. The President of the United States— May he 10011 again be the bead of a whole Republic. Oar Country—Let it never be dividel. Oar lighting Commodore on the West. ern Waters—The rebels prophisled truly, for when we attempted to take N't. Henry, we "put our Foote in it." The Unicn Men of the South—May the Union be preserved and their dearest expectations thus be realined. Our Volanteers—May they soon accom plish their mission and return covered with glory. Tne Army and Navy—They are and ever shall be able to sustain the reputation of the "Stara and Stripes." Absent Friends—May they never be Forgotten. Drank standing and in silence. Woman—The morning star of our youth ; the day star of our manhocd ; the evening star of our age. God bless our stars. Mr. Meeds—May his life be longer than the stripes he inflicted upon my back. The early Directors of the South Ward —Faithful to their trust. In after years we remember them gratefully. Our Old'School ays—Some of us re. celied black eyes among the boys, but we were much more troubled by black eyes among the girls . Many of these were happily responded to and instrumental music was interspersed with the reading, also an occasional song by J. W. Pope. A vote of thanks was passed to the host, for his splendid entertainment— to Mr. Mc Bride, photographer, for the excellent pie 'Urea on the Invitation cards—to Mr. Oow leyWor, the beautifulvpen testimonial—and to the President, for the manner In which he,presidS, Acitildbliglit "Auld Lang Syne" was sung, standing, by the whole company, and soon after the assembly dispersed.

As many of oar citizens have been very liberal in donating clothing and other ar ticles for the sick soldiers In the hospital of /tlipouri and Tenneese, the following extract from a letter received by the "Bib. eistence Committee." from Si. Louis, will be of some interest to them : "Seventy Ave ladies meet at oar rooms daily, making garments and bed clothes, and as many more visit the hospitals, tributing the articles made by us, or sent to us ty your kindness. Many of them remain all day at our hospital assisting in the care of the sick I made a feather bed and carried it out to one poor sick soldier, who was so emaciated that his bones were through his skin. He was so thankful that he wept like a child. He is a most excellent christian, and has done much good in his ward, gathering the soldiers around his bed, reading and talking to them, and sometimes holding a prayer meeting. Please send us all you have to spare, all will be acceptable and useful." OPENING OF THE TH &ATM.—Since the absence of the company at Wheeling the Theatre has been undergoing a coarse of thorough renovation. h has been repaint• ed, newly papered, decorated and cleaned from pit to dome and looks very bright and cheerful. All the scenery has been renewed and new properties prepared.— An immense amount of work has been put up - n the interior and we congratulate Mr. Henderson en the improvement. The company will arrive from Wheeling to morrow and the Theatre will be reopened in the evening Manager Henderson has made some additions to the company and has engaged a succession of stars, so that, with a goad company, pleasant Theatre and the best attractions from abroad he may confidently anticipate a successful Spring season. We hope it may "put money in his purse," as his energy desert, yes a substantial reward. A NEW I..savErt ENVELOPE —A new style of letter envelope has recently been invented, and is being introduced. The envelope is open at the end only; and when the letter is slipped in, the overlap is so contrived that the stamp is laid upon it, in the manner of a seal. Thus the ad. hesiveners of the stamp is guaranty for the security of the envelope. But by nn ad. ditional contrivance, the overlap is so ar ranged that a portion of the stamp with which it is sealed fastens to the letter be neath, and in opening the envelope, the stamp, on which a postmark and date is impressed, remains, not on the envelop, where it is useless, but on the letter, where it is often of great importance to business men, who need to prove the date of mail. ing of a letter or remittance.

He hoped that the government would take earnest steps in the case and at once de clare what was to be the position of British subjects in the Federal States. Earl Aug• Belt said that L-rd Carnarson could hardly have read the papers which were laid on the table, for if he had he would have seen that these oases had been brougi• I under statice of the Government. Neither had he made any allowance for the peculiar state of affairs in the United States, which justified urgent measures. In England, parliament had given the Government, in times of difficulty, authority to arrest pe.s sons on suspicion, and it had to to fre quently done without their being brought to trial. This Government had-complain ed of the arbitrary manner in which these arrests had been made, by the sole authori ty of the President of the United States without legislative sanction. He was riot disposed to defend the acts of the United States Government. Congress bad decided that the prerogative belonged to the Presl dent, and if he believed the parties were engaged in treasonable correspondence or conspiracies as alleKed, be (Earl Russell,) could not see how Her Majesty's Goveens meat could interfere with a practicer Which was absolutely necessary, although it was exercised with unnecessary harshness. The American government alleged that they had undoubted proof of the complicity of these persons in conspiracies; and that Her Majesty's government was nut in a position to contradict; but they had enter ed a strong remonstrance against the man• ner in which arrests were made and the prisoners treated, and the care of these persons would be earnestly watched by them. Karl Russell, In a late letter to Sir Ohas. Wyke, touching rumor that the Arch Duke Maxim'Hien would be called to the throne of Mexico, says : " If the M.e.lcan people, by a spontaneous movement place the Austrian Arch Duke on the throne, there is nothing in the convention to pro• hibit it. On the other hand, we could be no parties to a forcible interventien for this purpose." Panirois.—Paris letters says that Slidell Was re3eived by M. Thouvenal in a private capacity.

Saxony having proposed the reconstruction of Germany more - strictly as a Confederacy, Prussia replied that she considered the German Confederation as an international and not a Federal part of Russia, and hinted also that a reform of the Federal constitution might be carried out In such a way that besides the German Union, comprising Austria, a cics-r Federal Union might be formed between Prussia and such German States as might join her, thereby establish ing a kind of zollverein. Although this was no formal proposal, but a Mete Bug• gestion, Acietria, Bavaria, Hanover, Sax. onv and a majority of the other States Baden and Corbury excepted, remitted a collective note to Prussia, protesting against her views and announcing their intention to hold a conference for the re organization of Germany in accordance with the views of Saxony and inviting Prussia to join the Confederacy. Prussia declined and this is expected to lead to a dissolution of the Federal diet. Debates on the Garman question are expected in the Prussian chambers, which may bring about a crisis in Germany.
