CLOSING EXERCISES OF 1st WARD
SCHOOL.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Complying with you
request with regard to giving an accoun
of the closing exercises Of our school,
will state first that the examination be
gan in the upper department at O'Clock
Tuesday aud continued until after 4 +; re-
commencing at 9 o'clock "Wednesday
morning and continuing until after 4 Of
that day. An exact programme of the
order of exercise having been published
beforehand, REPETITION is unnecessary.
1t would be egotistical in me to speak
flatteringly of the success of the examina-
ton; will therefore leave that subject
untouched.
Reading and Grammar formed the
first topics for examination on Tuesday
afternoon. That evening closing with
exercises upon the tellurian and orrery.
Forenoon of Wednesday, Mathematics;
afternoon, exhibition of maps and geo.
graphy until 2 o'clock. may be per-
mitted to say without egotism that not
one question in Geography remained I'M
answered. Until 4, declarations and dla-
logues. The attendance was large in
deed. Thursday was devoted to public
recitation in Miss Burritt's department;
Friday forenoon to department under
charge of Mr.. Shove; inithe: afternoon,
Mrs. Webb. 1t would be out of place
for me to express either appreciation or
disfavor with regard to any of our de-
partments, that part [ leave to Others
But the browning entertainment at
Turner Hall I may be allowed to speak
of, as feel inclined for the reason that
so many interested themselves in it. The
honor of originating this fortunate and
happy entertainment is due to our whole
souled school board. Of course the teach
ers and people did all in their power to
aid the enterprise. A splendid supper
was prepared by the people for the chill
dren which they enjoyed with such pleas
ure as only children can feel. After
supper the heavy laden tree was dis
robed of its burthen of preasants and
many little heart was made glad by
their distribution.
Now, if you wish a picture of the clos
ing part of the entertainment, just imag-
inc about 100 little boys and girls (sur-
rounded by parents and friends) some
blowing on bugles as if their life depend
ed upon it, some on mouth organs &C.,
&C., and you have an accurate idea of
it.
To the untiring eyertions Of many Of
the ladies' of the south side we owe much
of the pleasures of this entertainment.
The gentlemen of course performed their
part by way of contributions.
Very Respectfully,
3. r. A.

COMMUNICATED.

Ed. TRIBUNE Having 80 often been
Intercepted of late as to the prevalence
of scarlet fever, spotted fever" &C.,
among US, please allow me through your
columns. in order to undeceive the pub
lie mind an removed the existing vaguery,
to say, "pot by way of ostentation, but
pro bono" publico, that we need only al
Jude to what has passed in review the
previous week, and ask just one moments
rational thought or reflection. In the
way of illustration however, if anything
further were necessary, we might relate
. single case, which perhaps, with your
permission Mr.. Editor, We may az vel
relate anyhow. Last week we were called,
to visit a little girl Of Mr.. Fred. Horn.

one week sick, growing worse, and atten-
ded by author of the balderdash in last
weeks Pilot upon spotted Jerer." As
usual it was denominated scarlet fever.
but unfortunately, Though the rash of
scarlet fever may occasionally be suppress
sed but when this is the case there are
other marked evidences of the disease,
and in accordance with his plain confess
sion of confusion in the following from
his own pen, ''In their disease [ discov-
cred certain peculiarities which were en-
tirely new to me" no rash had ever ap-
peared, nor no anything else except a
sore throat accompanied with a fever,
and great prostration, which on examin
alton, (for we know nothing intuitively,
we found to be plain case of diphtheria:
with the peculiar, characteristic, and I'M
mistakable stencil of that alarming dis
ease issuing from the throat on opening
the mouth. This case, after death,
had it been retained, would doubtless
have been one of Spotted fever.
+. A. BROWN, M. D.
P. S.-Quite a number of cases of
diphtheria have occurred in and about
Manitowoc che past fall and winter; and
we will add that the principal diseases
we have been called upon to treat, have
been typhoid fever, diphtheria, and pneu-
monia. j. "A. b.

RAILRoAD.-Sam- Ryan don't think
that our citizens are acting just right as
regards our railroads and, candidly, We
think he is about right. He says:
X ''They can have no hopes of at
tanning this end Ia road running direct
ly to or having positive connections with
the northern Pacific Railway at Duluth,
unless they put vitality into the road
from Manitowoc via. Appleton and Me
nasha to Stevens Point. This they can
not do unless they can make such chang
es. in their board of directors as will bring
into it railroad experience and capital
in word, they must interest the owners
of the Road now rapidly nearing Pere
Marquette, Opposite Manitowoc, J with
E. B. Ward as their head; or the own
ners of the Road being built with dis
patch to Pentwater (nearly opposite
Sheboygan,) with Cornelius Vanderbilt

at some time is fact acknowledged by
all, and there is sound sense and eonclu

well to appoint committee to confe

to wait upon Mr.. Reed with a view tt
getting him to resign his position as Pres

PAsoUINADE.-Quite an excitement
was created at the last concert by the
finding of a satirical drawing represent
ing our County Board and CLERK the new
ly appointed Treasurer, etc., very strong
ly insinuating that the said appointment
was obtained by bribery We cannot
help expressing our entire disapproval
of such action, for in the first place is the
time passed by, and we hope forever, when
such a thing did and could happen in our
County Board, and secondly it shows a
bad motive in the originator of such pas
quinades caused very probably either by
jealousy or disappointment Of an office
seeker. We like to see men come out
openly and squarely in all such matters.
Stabbing the character of man or a set
of men in the dark, SO that it is impossi-
BILE to know where the blow comes from,
is unworthy of any being claiming to be
a man.
Our new Treasurer has been appointed,
as we learn unanimously, land if he finds
security and keeps sober, he has the abili
ty to make as good and honest an officer
as we ever had. If he does not. he will
be hauled oyer the Goals square to his
face, but our sincere wish is that he may
never give us any occasion to do so.

regret to see Mr. Boutwell, 30 far swung of
from the true road to influence, the only
way to the gratitude Of the Southern peo-
pie. he makes q very great mistake.
The New York Times gives him the ben
eft of the following very pleasant para
graph 10 its Minor Topics"
at is quite likely that there is truth in
the report that President Grant aud Sec
rotary Boutwell, are at loggerheads
about the action of the latter in regard
to the Southern elections. In Virginia
the Secretary opposed the Walkerparty,
which claimed to be the special repre-
sentative of Grants policy. In Tonnes
see he has taken an active part against
the Senter party, which takes it's stand
on the administration or Chicago plat
form. In Mississippi he has taken ground
against the Dent party, which declares
its acceptance Of Republican principles,
measures and policy throughout The
President himself has not attempted
interference In any way with the course
of the elections; and it would not be
surprising if be we're unable TO justify
the action Of bis Secretary regarding
them.

festing the plans of the old party man

Is Maryland, as in Kentucky and Ten
nessee, there are heavy license laws, the
effect Of which is to impede and fetter
commerce between the States. The sub
ject has recently attracted great deal Of
attention in the East. and il is high time
to look to il in the West We allude to
the statutes which operate against com
mereial travellers; or men who 90 from
place 10 place to sell goods by sample
which impose heavy license for this
privilege and prescribe severe pen
slties upon those who neglect to pay it
The difference between selling by sample
and peddling is very obvious. Equally
obvious is It that the stringent license
laws which have been put on the statute
books regarding the former should not
be applied to the latter; or, IL no dis.
tinction can be drawn in phraseology,
then il were better for the interests oil
the people that the laws should be re-
pealed altogether Baltimore Sun.
