The several departments of the
Second Ward School, closed on Friday
last for a short vacation of one week
Thursday, and part of Friday were
devoted to examinations in the various
studies, which we are sorry we were un.
able to attend.
In the Principals department., the
early part of Friday afternoon was devo-
ted to the reading of the monthly-and
examination standing of the pupils; and
we were truly gratifed at the high grades
OF great majority.
Then followed essays, declama tions.
etc., which were all deserving of praise
as they were delivered understa dinghy
and with much taste.
Everything about the scholars indica-
ted love of study, and love to their i'll
structors, desideratum which in itself
speaks the highest praise Of the latter, as
the former cannot be obtained without
the best of teachers.
The school room was in perfect order;
what we most sadly missed are good
seats for the children, the present resem-
bling more contrivances to produce crook
ed spines than any thing else. When
will our School Boards take time to ex-
anime into these denominations and rene
dy them?
Then we also missed the presence of
the parents, few loving mothers were
all the audience except Rev. Mr.. Stevens
a few teachers and ourselves. Mr.. S.
made few pertinent remarks at the re-
quest of the Principal, and we can only
repeat what we then expressed. ';That
the teachers and parents may be as we'll
pleased with the children, and the chill
dren with their superiors as we were with
them ALL -

LETTER FROM GERMANY.

The following translation Of private
letter from privy councillor of the
Rhenish provinces has been handed to
us by valued friend for publication 1t
only confirms what we have repeatedly
asserted in our columns.
DEAR BROTHER We are as we'll as
we can be under the severe aff1iction in
the loss of our dearly beloved eldest son, in
the late conflict. The war was ended, in
fact, with the surrender of the second
French army of 173, 900 men at Metz.
To our sorrow the English and Ameri-
cans took care, that France was again
provided with small arms, cannon and
ammunition, so as to equip new arml es,
which, without them could not have
been done, thereby causing the death of
many more of our soldiers and especially
among my relatives and friends; but the
most contemplate and perfdious action
is that of the English press, to charge
the continuation of the war, caused by
themselves and the Americans, upon US,
as if ue desired to ruin dear France.
The bitter feeling all over Germany at
this perfdy is indescribable, in-fact strong
er at this moment against England and
America than against France itself.
If they were bound to make money out
of this conflict, we would have much pre-
ferred to pay them some millions of mon
ey as a gift, thereby saving the lives OF
our children, which now are lost to us.
But enough, there will be time of reck-
oning which has already commenced with
England by the Russian success In throw
ing of the stipula tioas of the peace OF
1856.

In MISUNDERSTANDING a call lately
on our friend John Mendlik, we were
kindly shown around his work shops
and yard, all stocked with monuments,
tablets etc., still under the hands of his
artistic employers, or already set up fin
ished for sale or delivery.
After a close examination of his pro-
ductions we can assure our readers that
there is nc place in Wisconsin where they
can be better suited with beautiful en-
blem to adorn the tombs of loved one,
than at Mr.. Mendliks.
He has sculptured a monument which
is worth thousand dollars in any coun-
try and which is really masterpiece OF
genial conception and workmanship. We
would advise all who wish to adorn the
tombs near which they love to linger, to
visit Mr.. Mendlik and examine his pro-
ductions and prices.
They will surely be satisfied.

That HACK.-On Saturday last we
were agreeably surprised at the good for
tune which tell upon US. Mr.. P. S. Till
son, the large hearted livery man on the
south side, called at our Office, with no
other object in view, than to give the
poor confined printers one of these en-
ioyments. which is priced SO highly by
ala ride. It was not long before the
hack was filed, and snap of the whip
started the gallant steeds off on lively
speed. We were taken all around town
ON both sides-and when we returned,
we felt very much refreshed. Mr.. Till
son has gone to heavy expense in re-
pairing the hack, and now it gives the
appearance of new one This man has
an excellent run of business and is surely
deserving of 1t all. We would recon-
mend all those in want of gay and fancy
rigs to call on him. It

TRUTHFUL JAMES, ON FRED
RANSGES.

Which L wish to remark,
And my language is plain,
That for tal>in' of pictures
In sunshine or rain.
Fred Ransch is quite peculiar;
Which the same would rise to explain.
Which he took some for me,
Which 1 brought in my hand
To my wife, and says She
Goodness gracious to land ~
And she smiled till herhead was shinin-
With a smile that was childIike and bland.
And she said to me "whar'
Did you get them ar. Jamesi
They are nicer by far
Than I've seed hung in a Frame"
Then says "Mister Fred Ransch
OF Manitowoc city is the name"
Then she looked at me,
And gazed at her;
An says she, 'James," say she,
'tNot an inch do I stir
To do up my work this ere mornn'
Till my pictur's is took by this yer"
Which is why remark,
In language that's plain,
For taking of pictures
In sunshine rain
Fred Ransch is quite peculiar.
Which the same l am free to maintain.

ABANDoNED.-W What joyful thing it
is to uaken, on fresh glorious morning,
and find the rising sun staring into your
face with dazzling brilliancy Ito hear
the Robin twitting softly on the tree
top, or the soft kissing ripples as they
fall upon the lake beach. At any time
and in any place such sights and sounds
are most charming, but more especially
are they SO when one awakens to the fact
that Manitowoc has one less rum mill
in it. The long existence of one of the
most corrupt dens in the city, which has
humiliated many youth, has at last
''emigrated to the west" (on York
street, where we sincerely hope it will
engage in better and more profitable
business. Manitowoc, like many other
cities and towns, is completely overrun
with such debasing institutions, and the
sooner this city would rid itself of at least
one Of such, the better. Il

MEssRs. J. e. Platt and O. Torrison,
have again filed their stores to the ex-
tent of their capacity, and as the business
of spring revives, some of our merchants
are properly taking advantage of our ad-
vertising columns to inform the people
what they haye to sell. Judicious adver-
tising pays well for the money invested,
and those Who do not advertise cannot
expect to sell goods as rapidly as those
who use printers ink freely. Advertise
your spring stocks.
