EVENING STAR. Local Intelligence. Heaurts or ras Crrr.—Although ——s ington has enjoyed remarkably good heal for several months past, the season has sp proached when cholera morbus and other dis eases usually attendant on summer, may be or per The utmost care. therefore, should be taken to avoid them. res ay stioets and alleys are not among the least prevep- tives of disease, and disinfecting agents should be freely made use of to promote or to pre- eerve the public health. . The Sctentifio American contains an inter- esting article on the eubject of sanitory sub- stances, and it is as follows: “As the warm woatber is now at hand, it will no doubt be very useful information to many persons to be told what are the best eub- stances for removing offensive odors from sinks, £0. Copperas, or sulphate of iron, isa very excellent substance for slushing drains aud stoke By dissolving half a pound of it im a pail of hot water, and throwing i: into a eink once per week, it will keep down all of- fensive odor; and from the situations of many housea in all our cities, it would greatly tend to health and pleasure for tho inhabitants of each todothis The chioride of lime, or the ebloride of zinc, will answer just as well, but these are expensive substances. in comparizon with copperas (sulphate of iron.) Lime is also very useful, and is no doubt a chexp deodor- izer, but is not & very good one; copperas, therefore, is preferable to all these substaneas. But there is another substance which is far superior to either copperas, the okloride of lime, or sinc. 2s a deodorizor, both as it re. spects its qualities and iis economy; we mesn ancct wder, made of ground wood char- coal. Charcoal powder poesessea the quality of absorbing ammoniacal, sulphuretted bydro- gen, and carbonic acid gages in asaperior de- gree to any cihersubstance. Placed in the Vicinity, or spread among decaying animal or vegetable matters, it absorbs all the offensive and hur.fal geses, and keeps the air sweet and wholesome “* We really hope that charooal powder will soon come into extensive use as a deodorizer and disinfectant. It appears to us that ic can be ground in mills in the timber regions where wood is cheap, transported to our cities, and sold atay-ry moderate price We are con- vineed that a pientifal use of fresh ground wood charcoal for sinks, damp fluors, and the drains of cellars, would greatly tend to prevent disease in msny places, by the absorption of missma.”” Pusuic Scmoots —Oa Tuesday, 23: ultimo, the senior department of Public schovl No. 3, first district, Miss H. A. Baker, principal, the usual examination, there being present trustees Polk, Bennett, and Magruder, and a number of teachers, with the parents and friends of the children. Of the examina tion as 2 whole we may say everything was in order, and exhibited a high stite of im. provement. The singing was executed as children only, when properly inztructed, caz sting. The classes acquitted theiaselves cred- itably to themselves and theirteacher. The history class did themselves honor. Arithme- tie and geography ere well understood. It is gratifying to the friends of public schools to See that they are taking eo high a position ia t to moral and intellectual culture. bursday, the 25th ult , the primary school of the fonrth district was examined by tke t. us- tees, Mesers. Magruder, Pearson and AtLee, who were assisted by Mr Taylor, cf Kitten house academy, an erdent friend of the Pubiic Schools. This school is in ¢: of Miss A. Adams, and consists of seventy:cholare The examination was very satisfactory, indeed, woved what could be douse by patience and industry. . The chiidren of this school contribute each a penny monthly to the naiisnal mocuwent, and this practice has obtained for the echool the name of Monument School A On Friday, the male primary sehool ot : fourth diyrict paseed through their examina- tion. This school is under the care of Mr. John E. Thompson, who has succeeded in making it one of the best pr imary schools in thecity. Tiere were pressnt Messrs Magru- der, Poik, and Pearson; Col. Randolph, aa efficient mexsber cf the late board; Mr. Thcmpson, of the fourth district school; Mr. Edson, junior department, second district; Mrs Ogden, Mra. Myers, Miss McCartby, Miss Lowe, and Miss Henshaw, primary teachers. Miss Milbura, of the fourth district school, and a large number of parents and others. The examination was not oaly satisfactory to the examiners, and creditable to the ias'rce- tor and pupils, but surprising to many who had no expectation that a primary school could be advanced to the condition in which this wag found. Fins —EBarly yesterday morning, the large and commodious dwelling-house near “the Cirele,” in the First Ward, was destroyed by fire. Lt was formerly occupied by Mr. For, at one time the British Minister near the Gov- ernment of the United States, and subsequent- ly by other foreign diplomats. The loss is es- ated at from five to eight thousand dollare, on which, it is said, there was an insurance; and, further, that the property belonged to the estate of the late General Gratiot, and was latterly owned by Samuel Chochean The house was unoccupied; and, from certain circumstances, there is little or no doubt that thg fire was caused by an incendicry. Tne fire companies of Washirgton and Georgetowa, with their customary promptitude, notwith standing the heat of the weather, were on the ground as early a3 possiblo, but their good in tentions were frustrated by a ecarcity of ihat essential liquid in such cases—water. The good order of tho firemen, avd their mutual efforts to suppresa the flames, are worthy of the highest commendation. Honor to the noble bard. Invixe Lyceum —Tae reader’s attention iscalled to an adveriizement in another col- umn, of the Irving Lyceum, inviting the pub lic to attend a celebration, on to-morrow even ing, at the Smithsonian Institution. It prom ises to be an affair well worthy of public at tention, and from which both entertainment and instruction will be derived. The Lyceum is composed of youths ambitious of excelling, and who, for their years, (from 16 to 20.) ma rank with the most proficient scholars of our city. VioLations oy Ciry Laws —Justice Bates, of the fifth district, disposed of the following cages, viz: Mary Peirce, selling liquor without license; fined $20 and coats.
