Our graded school under the charge of
Otis 5. johnson as principal, and Misses
Georgianna Crowley and Lydia Smith as
assistants, closed its winter session on Fri
day last, under full complement of
scholars in attendance and with its usual
success. In the evening the Principal adj
dressed the school of subjects appropriate
to their social and intellectual necessities
now and prospectively. The address is
well spoken of and was acceptably heard
by the very good audience in attendance,
consisting of the scholars, their parents
and friends At its conclusion the young
folks filled out the remainder Of the even
ing in social entertainment.
II Pluribus URum. "My wife don't
scold" was the remarkable statement of a
neighbor of ours recently; land, said he,
"I'll give you the proof. Not long ago
man came in and sat tilted in chair ny
the pantry door. Our hired girl had just
cleared the table and with a pile of dishes
was proceeding to the pantry, when her
sleeve catching in some way the Aforesaid
tilted individual, the whole pile of dishes
went crashing to the floor. Upon hearing
the fall my wife came in and seeing the
disaster, and the girl in tears, said in her
usual good naturcd way, We'll, there I've
been trying for long time to get rid of
those old dishes, SO that 1 could have a
new set, but | did not see how to buy
others as long as had them, but now the
way is clear We admitted that this
was "proOf" sufficient of his assertion and
could add from personal acquaintance, that
the good lady, now wearing ii pleasant old
age does always make the best of every
thing.
Our smallpox excitement has at last
blown over, there not being a single case
or symptom. nor have there been any, al
though it is now three weeks from the
time of the great exposure. The alarm
was moi. however, among those who had
been exposed, but among those who had
not been placed in danger, and it is some
what singular thing to solve how this dis
ease could be communicated by persons,
while not having It themselves. Simple
Difference, however, to the feelings of those
who were thus afraid, led many of the eX-
posed to keep quietly at home, although
some were requested and notified particu-
| larly that in their case, distance would lend
"enchantmcnt 10 the view" Having our
selves purchased Jug Of molasses toward
| inc luiully IullOus uull III dLllCi!)dllOl vi
| the long blockade, we proceeded to acqui-
esCe three weeks in our novel situation.
But now, Mr. Editor, that we are permit
ted to appear sin good society" again, We
are so tickled that we can hardly suppress
our joy, and SO you will please to not cal
us outrageous if we wear a smile over oul
late captivity and proceed very good ma
turedly to give you some
INCIDENTS OF TIE BLOCKADE.
"Have you got it ?" said one of the lex
posed" as after dark he put his head in a
one door through an opening just large
enough to make that part of him visible
"No," said he, 1--WE havnt got it, come
right in" In he came, he and his wife
and as our calls had been ''few and far be
tween" during those dreary weeks, he de
posted nearly two hundred pounds of hi
personal property in one of our cane seat
to the great danger of that article, and TO
an hour beguiled our exile with such
mirthful recital of scenes and incidents o
"thc blockade" as made us forget that w
had been shut out from the busy worl
Our wife, who has practical eye ant
quite utilitarian notion of things, say
how she could turn this blockade to q goo,
account as respects certain lame and frac
tured articles of household economy. Sc
said she "now that you can't go out an,
more, there are tn )se two rockers tina
need repairing, and then there those tw
broken lights that need mending, and
will be good time for you to do up som
such jobs" The only reply we made wa
to groan in our spirit and wish that w
had never been exposed
Our milkman, too. came under the EN-
barge. Who knew but what from his con
slant close contact with his COWS he nigh
give US all the cow-poX? In vain he plead
ed out of his tender heart that he shoul
only deliver the tactical fluid where Their
were babies. That dodge would not do
But our hero was not to be hndcred in hi
work of love in supplying his large nun
Der of customers who sighed over thei
suddenly shortened supplies. And so lea,
ing his bells at home, he nightly ran tn
blockade to the great joy of the man
whose pitchers and joys anxiously awaite
; his coming. To the uninitiated. it was
wonder how the people did without thei
a milk. and yet took it all so complacentl,
/ Under cover'of the darkness many sa

: craft and the embargo cunningly outwittet
Thus, secret sessions of "the exposed
,, were held, "while men slept" and da
1 was tius tuineu INTO nlgut. But While q
! this blockade-running developed many
: jovial expedient to avoid the ewes of eth
powers that be, we hope it will not lea
to any permanent feeling of deception, b,
now that the embargo has been withdraw
all will go on in mutual good feeling an
