AN cold fashioned northeaster" set in on
Wednesday, after some preliminary blow
ing the day before, and blew great guns
for few hours on Wednesday night. 1t
has been some years since we have felt its
equal, although storms of that force are by
no means rarity on this lake, as the next
year or two will no doubt prove The
light freight shed of Willard and Mercer,
on Minnesota Point, was blown into the
bay. A crib or two of Quebec pier, just
below r. G. Coburn's factory, was loosened
by the high water, and displaced by the
wind as it veered to the north toward
Thursday morning A few insecure win
dovs were blown in, and weak fences
blown down in the early part of the even
inc, and our citizens knew by the way the
houses trembled in the fury of the blast,
that things were workin' wherever old
Kitchee Gummee could put in his trip ham
mer blows.

SICKNESS seems still to continue, espec-
Tally among children, two of whom have
died this week. Typhoid and scarlet fever
are found in several households Parents
should exercise great care in respect to Sc
curing nutritious food, warm clothing and

should be taken by parents, teachers and
the proper authorities, against the unneces-

REPORT OF SCHOOLS IN DOUGLAS COUN-
TY FOR THE YEAR ENDING NOV. l, 1872.
To the Board of Supervisors
FROM the various reports of school and officers
in Douglas County for the year 1872 it appears there
were the 3lst day of August, in this County 362
persons Of lawful age to attend School, and that only
24s of that number had been in attendance at School,
at any time during the year; showing that we have
among u.s. more than 100 children growing up to
turty and negecting to secure the advantages of
education which our common school system affords.
TIE reports for the year 1871, gave the total
Der of persons of lawful age $780, and the number who
had attended school as 27l
The comparison of these numbers seems to show
that the attendance reported in 1871 better than
in 1872 but my knowledge of the facts leads me to
conclude otherwise Previous to the present year
many persons 1--WE hardly call them schoars) have
beer enrolled as members of the different schools who
have attended very irreguary and in many instances
only foc few days during the entire year. but during
the present year, school officers and teachers have
been more rigid in requiring that scholars once en-
rolled as members of school, shorld either attend
regularly or have their erased from the school
register
And, l am happy to report, officers and teachers
have in most instances been heartily sustained by
parents, so that regular attendance in school, in
manner to receive profitable instruction, has been
better during the present than former years.
The present year has witnessed the completion and
furnishing Of school houses, ample for the
dation of all the scholars in the county, and located
and distributed in such manner that the convenience
and comfort Of all have been secured No one,
desiring to attend school is compelled to occupy
uncomfortable seat is deprived of any of the
veniences of a school room, which necessary for
comfort and progress.
The town of Superior is now divided into two dis
tricts In Dist Nc One, which includes the larger
part of the town. the schools organized by forming
one higher department, one secondary one mixed and
one primary il two buildings all under the direction
of ono principal with three assistant teachers, each
having the special charge of one department

Temple.
Among the events Of tie famous
Mormon war WAS the burning Of the
Nauvoo Temple. The structure was
burned in the night time, and SO sue.
cessful was the party engaged in its
firing that probably he was never even
suspected The recent death of the
ineendiary, however, has removed the
necessity of further secrecy, and q day
ortwo ago we were put in possession
of his name and the facts connected
with the burning of the temple by the
only living person cognizant of them.
The temple was fired by Joseph g. Ag-
new, who recently died in Appanoose
Township, Hancock county,in this State,
at the age OF iifty-seven years. 1t was
always supposed that the party who
burned the building had entered through
the basement, but the facts are, Mr..
Agrew surrcptitously obtained key to
one of the doors of the Temple some
time before the act. No one was enga-
ged with him, and only four knew he
was the party. Three of these are now
dead. Agnew prepared his fire balls
and other tombustibles at his residence
Placing them in his saddle bags. he rode
on horseback to Nauvoo, and in the
night entered the Temple with his key
passed up to the cupola, arranged his
materials and fred them, and then aui
city escaped the way he came. Our in
