District No. 2-SOmcrs.

On Thursday evening, Feb 9TH, at the last
meeting of the Excelsior Debating Club, which
organization has been in active operation du-
ring the past two years in School District No
Z, Somers in this county, the pupils of the
District School surprised their teacher, Mr..
Hosea Barns, by a beautiful and appropriate
gift, presented by Miss Ellen NJ Rogers, ac-
companied by the following presentation ad-
dress;
"Mr. BARNs-The pupils Of our school, feel
ing that they are under greet obligations to you,
and wishing to testify in some slight degree
their appreciation Of your merits as teacher
and their sincere thanks for tie many benefits
received at your hands-have selected me to
present to you, in their name, this Portfolio.
They are sensible that its intrinsic merit is
small; but they hope you viii receive it as an
earnest Of their kind feeling towards you, and
offer it to you, together with their thanks for
your kindness-to them. aud their best wishes
for your future prosperity"
This address was responded to. by Mr.. Barns
in few brief and touching remarks, that
brought tears to the eyes of many of the pu-
pills The evening closed with singing GOOD
Night" which was participated in by the
whole house.
And now a few words about this school The
present term will close in fve,weeks. At thai
time Mr. Barns will have been teaching in al
ten months, During this time, Vocal Musi,
has been practiced; and the "Glee Club
I formed by the members ofthe school, is real,
an ornament to the town of Somers.
The school house and grounds were mucl
improved, last autumn, through both publ
and private means. The school edlfce itself
small, but with its papered walls, curtains
maps, chart, globe clock &c, is one of tn
pleasantest in the county.
, The interest taken in the affairs of this scho,
/ by the inhabitants of this district, may best
shown by the fact that on the evening referre
, to above, the house was filed to Overlooking

:, had this winter, Amongst the visitors from
It distance, were Mr.. George Nichols, and sever

day in our streets, several Church Bells, in
sleighs, just ready to start tor the country. The
BELLS were. four in number. On inquiry we found
that three Of them were for "St. Patrick's

town of Brighton, in this county Rev. Mr.. Hook

whose melodies will wake the echoes far over
the hills and dales of that rural district The
largest of these bells weighs 4,000 pounds, and
the others are smaller-their weight we did not
learn This certainly speaks well for the enter
prise as well as for the prosperous circumstan,
ces of the German citizens of Brighton, hat they
can thus, even in what are supposed to be hard
times, spare means to furnish their church with
chime of bells. The fourth bell, also weigh
ing about 1900 pounds was for the German
Catholic Church in the Town Of PARIS
These bells are all for from foundry in St

Hav Q We Sporting Paper among us =?
We believe there is no longer doubt that we
have. The Kenosha TIMES of last week in
formed its readers in its editorial columns that
a cock-fght was to come off at a certain rum
hole, on Friday evening, and invites the
" roughs" to be on hand for the sport. Cock
fighting, even among the haf-civilized half
breeds Of Mexico and Central America is said
to be considered a to,0 amusement, though they
do indulge in it occasionally. But what shall
we say of the taste of those in this enlightened
and christian community, who resort to such
amusements to pass away the hours that might
and should be devoted to rational mental and
moral culture? Or what shall we say of the
editor or publisher who degrades his columns
by putting" such amusements Just mag
inc crowd ofgentlemen (7) gathered in cir.
Gle, in dingy halflighted rcom the air thick
with the fumes ofliquor and tobacco, to witness
the intellectual (?) spectacle of a cockfght!-
Betting on the painting birds runs high-from
three cents all the way up to quarter! Can
you imagine anything more revolving? And
yet, fathers and mothers of Kenosha, this is the
entertainment that the Kenosha TIMES invites
your sons to attend

For The Telegraph
a VALENTINE.
By A. A. HosKIN.

81 A. a. HOSklN'
With tireless tread times onward going,
With youthful vigor flying,
The tide of years is onward flowing,
And men are living, dying;
Mirth's Ginning echo still is sounding,
And hearts are breaking, singing;
The wall of grief is still resounding,
And bells are tolling, ringing.
Another year has passed away
Familiar still its name,
Ard brought around again that day,
ofalnost worldwide fame,
When we must choose in honor Of
The Saint they call divine,
That one whom most Of all we love-
10 be our Valentine.
My thoughts have traced the wide world Ger
From Greece to classic Rome,
Yetback ,unsatished they soar,
TO settle nearer home;
My thoughts by day, my dreams by night,
Seem ever to combine;
III choose their object of delight
To be my Valentine
The world may have its precious store
0fsparkling gems and gold;
My mind has wealth of value more
nine of love untold.
Around thy name my heart its best
Affections shall entwine;
So I'll choose thee, fore all the rest,
To be my Valentine.
Through all thy life may may heaven direct,
And guide with tenderest care
From sorrows chilling storm protect,
And save thee from despair
And while We live thy life shanbe
An in dex true of mine
May fortune kindly deal with thee,
Ny chosen Valentine.
But should the b litter with the sweet
Be mingled in life's cup,
Bright hope with Disappointment meet,
And pain drink pleasure up,
Then humbly bow to God thy knee,
Nor at his will repine,-
I'll think of thee, and pray for thee
"God bless my Valentine"
And when we've crossed life's tickle sea,
Have passed its latest strife,
When We it's journeys end shall see,
And bid farewell to life,
Well cease from care and toll and pain,
Where Pleasures meier declines
And there, in Heaven, trust again
To etmy Valentine.

and appreciated on both sides of the Atlantic
Our citizens are favored in having tho opportuni

One of the inventions.-Mr. JosLYN, o.
our city has invented Camera for charging
Photographs, from the smallest pictures to
those of life size which are as perfect as the
smallest Ambrotvpe or dauguerreotype likeness
made. Those we saw were finally executed,
equal, if not superior to any we ever before
examined ne Owas the picture of an old gen
tleman-sze about } 1 by14 inches, made from
medium sized Dagueueotype, which must
have been taken many years ago: 1t was very
finely doue, the Photograph copy being even
bette, than the original. Such improvements
are worthy Of special notice.
Mr.. Joslyn has proved himself not only an
Artist of superior skill and ability, but a ge-
MUS of no small calibre. If you would like to
