this County, returnet

In cur issue last week we referred
our readers to Communication rela-
tive to the misconduct of certain boys
lat the recent school entertainment,
with a promise that we would have
something to say on the same subject.
We are aware that we were IL boy
ourselves once, and that boys should be
treated as such, but there is limit, to
what some. might call boyish sports,
beyond which IL is dangerous ground
for a youth to tread. g. 60
sit was all in fun," is good enough
excuse SO long as a boy does not in
fringe on positive rights, nor be guilty
of that which is clearly wrong. 1t
will not do1o say that the boys who
committed the wanton outrage upon
the teachers and pupils of the public
schools, few evenings since, "are
nothing but children" and therefore
they should go unreproved for their
deed. IN =. Z. -t--. t25la -iiit -..s -'h'

upon the parents of these children as to
believe that they have not been in
|structed how to behaYei themselves at
q public meeting We feel sure that
the parents of most, if not all of these
boys, were deeply. mortified upon
learning of their Jbehaviora the School
Entertainment. Parents do what they
consider their duty, but childrensOften-
times through association and other
wise get beyond their control and are
guilty of conduct wholly inekcusabl
and not to be palliated.l We are of the
+opinion, that if such is the ease it is a
kindness to both parents and children
for the law to interfere to remind the
youthful offender of his duty, not only
to himself but to the community in
which he'lives. We hope that the ar
rests made last week will serve good
purpose, and that hereafter we and the
Village may be- saved the 'chagrin of
Ichronieling such disgraceful proceed

Death of Hiram Powers, the
American Sculptor.

A special despatch to the New York
Herald from Florence annoqncss the
death in that city, at IA NJ, on Fri-
day, of Hiram Powers ~
He was born atNNoodstock, VT. July
%, 1905. being the eighth of a family
of nine children, and his early youth
was passed upon his fathers farm-in
summer assisting in til,ing the soil, in
winter gieaning what Acknowledgements
be cleaned in a district school. The
farm proving unsuccessful, be emigra-
ted with the family to Ohio, and upon
the death of his father, soon after estab-
lished himself in Cincinnati About
this time he became acquainted witha
German sculptor, fram whom he learn
ed the art of modelling in plaster, and
after little practice he was able to
produce plaster busts of considerable
merit. In 1885, he went to Washing
ton, and was for some time profitablyI
employed in modelling busts of dis
tinguished men. With the proceeds
derived FROM these efforts, and by the1
assistance of Mr.. Nicholas Longworth,
of Cincinnati, he was enabled in 1887
to carry into effect a long-cherished de-
sire to visit Italy. In the same year
he established himself III Florence
Gradually gaining confidence in his
powers and facility in the use of the
chisel, he. produced, in 1888 an ideal
statue of 'tEve," which excited the ad-
miration of Thorwaldsen, who pro-
nounced ita work which, any sculptor
might be proud to claim as his master
piece. A year later he. finished, the
model Of lhis''Greek Slave, y his Most
wide4y-known and popular work, and
of which upward of six duplicates in
marble are in existence, besides an i'm,
mense number of plaster casts and re-
.duced copies in parian,s Among other
well-known works by him are the

q The great question that agitates the
intestines of the. Democratic party is
whether it Will stand the better. chance
to come into power by pronopncing it
self dead, or BY declaring ftsef quick.
the patriotic leaders OF thef Party are
ready 10 pronounce it, either dead or
alive, when fully persuaded in their
own minds which will be best Tor its
restoration. This Question divides the
party, and expends its flicKering ener-
gies. So far as we have observed, the
division i'm their views is about even.
About one half of the force of express
sion is positive in the affirmation that
the only way to restore the Democratic
party to-life is to proclaim it dead and
buried. The other half aifirIns as posi-
lively that ifit shall thus be pronounce
ed dead and buried there will be no
nope of reSuscitation. So the thing
stands. The disagreement is the more
to be lamented because both sides are
animated by the same purpose, the
