BRANDON GRADED SCHOoL.-Ihe an
niversary exercises of the Brandon grad
ed school took place on Friday last at
the Town Hall, which was filled tOits ut
most capacity day and evening.
The various exercises of the afternoon
in the different departments were unus-
ually ig eresting, especially the singing
by the children Of the primary depart
ment, which was the feature of the oc-
casion.
The evening exercises consisted of
original declarations, from the mem
bers of the high school, many of them
displaying much taste, genius and culture
in the selection and treatment of their
subjects. Altogether the exercises re-
fleet great credit upon both teachers and
students, as well as the energetic and
faithful committee, Dir. g. l.. Case, J.
E. Higgins and W. w. Reynolds, the
two former of whom have held their
arduous and honorable office for the last
six years. The principal, Mr.. j. s. Gil
ley, evidently belongs in the front rank
of education, and we congratulate the
citizens of Brandon and vicinity, in hay
ing secured his services for another year,
togetber with those of his able corps OF
assistants, and we predict for the Bran
don high school continuance OF Its
former prosperity. n

THE PRANKS OF A MONKEY.

The Nord is responsible for the follow
ing account of horrible accident which
has just happened ut Montrogue, vii
lage near Paris. A. M. Dumas, residing
there, an agent Of manufacturing chem
lists in Rouen, has kept for the last three
mon MS a black ape, which had been
brought to him from Africa. It was M.
Dumas custom every evening before
going to bed to take q glass of ea,,
sucree, into which he put little orange
water. The monkey, which was in the
bedroom and saw him do this, is believed
to have formed the purpose Of repeating
the net. NJ. Dumas had Just received
from his employers specimen of nitric
acid which he was to sell to retail deal
er in Paris. After having opened and
examined the bottle, he prepared his
glass of sugar and water, went to bed
and fell asleep. The monkey then pour.
ed the contents Of the bottle into the
glass and retired. Feeling thirsty dur
ing the night, M. Dumas rose and swal-
lowed the poison. He died shortly after
ward, having suffered the most excru-
eating agony. The Steele adds to what
is given above that when the neighbors
came in the monkey was seen with the
empty bottle in its hand.
