WHERE Is YouR SoN?-The fol-
lowing article which We clip from the
Monticello Erpress Of the 4th inst,
contains the essence of whole SER
mon, and we advise every person in
Upton who has son to read it. Are
you quite sure that you know where
your bright little son spends his
evening hours? That lad-.hat
brave, good man in miniature, of
whom you expect SO much in your
declining years where does he while
away his leisure hours: Is he At
home, under your watchful eye? Ii
he is not, the chances are that, nine
cases out Of ten, he is just where you
would rather he would not be. Here
is something for you to ponder.

THE Boy NUIsANcE.-We don't
mean to intimate that all boys are
nuisanccs, but the boy who is per-
petually hanging about public places,
cat-calling, whistling, stamping and
kicking up disturbance at public en-
tertainmcnts, who loafs about the
streets these winter nights, listening
with prurient relish and precocious
appreciation to smutty jokes Of the

We are not going to answer the
question, whether there are any such
boys in Monticello. We are not GO
ing to put our foot into any new diff
ticulty, nor incur the remo.est risk Of
another libel suit. Parents, keep
strict watch and guard over your
boys. You cannot expect to let them
roam the streets at night, or frequent
the corner groceries and the places
where foolish men resort TO exchange
their stale jokes and vile yarns and
not catch the infection Of obscenity
and the faint of sin. You canuot
expect them to associate with older
boys Of known bad character without
contamination. Such resorts and
such associations are the schools OF
vice, where the finest tastes and ten

and into the soul Of the purest boy

In SPITE of the cold weather, there
was nice attendance upon the ex-
ercises of last week Wednesday eve
ming, at Virginia Grove School House,
and the enterprise was success in
every particular. Started by the
teacher, Miss Webb, the soliciting
and other preparation was mainly
done by herself and some of her larg.
er school girls. The people Of the
neighborhood responded promptly
and literally, sending teams around
with the girls, and turning out on
Wednesday evening re y, dless Of

nice one, the tabl ux and other ex.
erciscs were spicy and interesting
and the financial result was the very
handsome sum Of slxty-6ye dollar.

The METEoR.-The following is
letter to the State Register from
Prof. Leonard, Of the Iowa State
University, in regard to the meteor
which so many of our citizens noticed
last Friday evening. II must have
been nearer Iowa City than here as
no noise was reported by our obser-
vers although the explosions were
distinctly seen:
Iowa STATE UNIvERsITY,
CHAIR or MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY,
X. LEONARD, Professor.
Iowa CRY, February 10th, 1875.
Editor of State Register A very
large and brillian. freball passed this
city last evening at 1880, Chicago
lime. Its size apparently half that
of the full moon, its course slightly
north of west. The ireball was &C
companied bv broad train Of light.
The color OF the ball was compared
to that of molten iron, and its train
slightly tinged with green. There
were three separate explosions of the
fireball while it was in view, and af-
ter an interval of two or three min
utes after its disappearance q re-
port. which those who were indoors
compared to the noise of a train of
cars. and those outside noticed some
thing resembling .hree discharges of
blasts in the quarry. The conclusion
seems to have been more violent to
the west of us, and | entertain hopes
that some fragments Of the meteorite
will be found within the limits Of our
State. | shall feel greatly obliged
to any Of your readers who will furn-
ish me an account of any observations
they may have made OF this meteor.
Very truly yours,
N. Il. LEONARD.
