The children attending the Chelsea
public schools INDUCED in big fright
yesterday, which came near resulting
seriously to many OF the little ones. A
big Newfoundland dog dashed into one
of the rooms, which so frightened the
children that they screamed furiously.
The children in the other school-rooms
heard the cutlery, and believed that it
was the little pink ghost Of Brinkley col
lege that had put in an appearance. A
scene Of uproar and confusion ensued,
and the children dashed down stairs and
out into the street, despite the efforts of
the teachers to keep them quiet. The
dog dashed out with them, barking furi-
ously, and evidently enjoying the fun
he had improvised in the public schools
unknown to the School Board. Order
was restored in a short time, and the ca
nine disturber walked OF wagging his
tail in the most humorous style.
