ANNUAL ADDRESS OF WORTHY GRAND
MASTER ADAMS.

Pstrons: Time flies. One brush of His
wings, a deepened wrinkle on the brow, an
other thread of silver in the locks, and a year
Is gonet to take its place in the great army of
the past.
The grim, unerring archer has sped his
shafts, striking down alike the high and the
low, and given their names and deeds to
history.
Of the fraternal band which met at George
town, at st. Louis and Charleston. not one
has received the deadly shaft, and we meet
to-day with nnbroken and augmented anks
to labr in this cause.
A few familiar md beloved faces we miss
from their accustomed places, having been
delegated to other fields of usefulness.
In their stead are new forms, strange to
our sight, but properly recognized as labor
ers in the same field, and we cordially ex-
tend to them a traternal welcome, and will
bold them with a patrons s grip
Not only are we pleased to note our old
ranks fall. but delighted to extend them
and incorporate in our fraternal band, the
husbandman and matron who nave cleared
new fields, and sown seed on new ground.
With one accord our voices greet the repre-
sentatiyes of Delaware and Connecticut,

the patrons at Fern Creek, KY, on 'the 9TH
inst. In accordance with his suggestion,
the members of the yarions oranges pro-
vided themselves with grange song books,
and sung some of the beautiful and appro-
pirate songs therein, and found it much
cheaper and a great deal more gratifying t
all concerned, than the employment of i

FRAGILE OCEAN SHIPS.

Some of the more recently built
steamships seem to be turning out in
differently, says the London Iron. Dur
ing the late gales one of them, the Chu-
san, quivered and strained so convulsive-
" that her officers refused to 80 In her |;
SO she was put about with her head
towards the Clyde, and touching rock,
she persisted, vile attempting to escape
destruction. Another broke clean in two
In mid-sea-snapped Like thing of glass
or earthen ware, from sheer excess of
weakness. A third steamer, name as
yet unknown, G ,ened and liberated her
deck, which was lately seen floating on
the water, with the wings of the paddle
boxes attached to it. In the case of the
Chusan there is an extenuating circum-
stance. Large and costly as she was,
she was constructed for river service in
Chinese waters, and WAS, after the man
ner of the great river steamers of the
United States, butt with view to Light
ness and speed. But the behavior of
the second vessel-the one which snap
ped in two-is an ominous comment on
the naval architecture of the period
Early this year little feet of clippers,
outward bound, lost their masts, and in
each case the brittle masts we're of the
new kind-tubes of iron. Underwriters
were made uneasy as the tidings came
in of one ship after another having had
her masts snapped like carrots, nor did
they feel at all treasured when it trans
PRED that in more than one instance the
mast had gone over the side when there
was no special stress of weather to &C.
count for their sudden failure. Iron
ships used not to break in. two when

glass rods, as of late some seem to have

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 30-The con-
vention of county and city school super
intendents, called by the state superin-
tendent, met here yesterday. The re-
presentation is good About half of the
counties and cities of the state are re-
presented. Many prominent educators
are present, and from the discussion of
various matters pertaining to the educa-
tional matters of the state, they will be
largely advanced. The defects in the
present system of county school super
intendents, and the remedies therefor,
have been discussed at length. The
following resolution was adopted:
Resolued. That there should be uni
form system of examination of teachers
for the state; that to this end, the ques-
tons should be prepared by some cen
trail authority; that the marking Of papers
written by teachers should be governed
by certain general rules, and that each
superintendent should be allowed to fix
the standard Of attainments for his own
county, under the advice of the state
superintendent, and that the papers
written should be subject to inspection
by the state superintendent.
The uniformity of textbooks was dis
cussed, and q resolution adopted requir-
ing uniformity of textbooks in the
schools of the same town, and that each
town be required to purchase the books
needed for its schools, loan them to all
pupils, free, OF sell them at cost to
patrons Of the schools.

THE PULsE.-A healthful, grown per-
sons pulse beats seventy times in a
minute; there may be good heath down
to sixty; but if the pulse exceeds seventy
there is disease; the machine is working
too fast; it is working itself out; there is
fever Or inflammation somewhere, and
the body is feeding on itself, as in con-
sumption. When the pulse is quick
that is over seventy-it gradually in
creases with the decreased chances of
cure until it reaches one hundred and ten
or one hundred and twenty, when death
comes before many days. When the
pulse is over seventy for months, and
there is slight cough, the lungs are af-
fected. Every intelligent person owes
it to himself to learn from his family
physician how to ascertain the pulse in
health, then by comparing it with what
it was when ailing, he may have some
idea of the urgency of his case. Parents
should know the healthy pulse of each
child, as now and then person is born
with peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and
the case in hand may be Of that peculiar
ity. An infants pulse is one hundred
and forty: child OF six, about eighty;
and from twenty to sixty years, it is
seventy beats a minute, declining to
sixty at fore-score. There are pulses
all over the body, but where there is
only skin and bone, as at the temples,
it is most easily felt.

There was Il fight IN the State Prison
last Thursday. Sims, the Bowdonham
bank robber, and Moore, the Lime Rock
Bank robber, work in the wheelwright
shop together. For some reason unknown
to the prison officials, the men hate one
another with the most bitter hatred, and
lhey never miss an opportunity to display
their ill-will towards each other. On
Thursday one OF Moore's friends insulted
Sims as he was passing him, and Sims
turned round and knocked the man down
This was evidently just what Moore want
ed him to do, as he was at hand and at
once tloored Sims. The friends of each
joined in the affray, and for while there
was a sharp fight. Sims and Moore en-
Gagged in hand to hand contest, while
ther friends got up little fight among
themselves. All sorts of weapons were
used and one OF two of the men were Sc.
rcrely wounded. A physician was called
and it required some time to dress the
wounds inflicted during the ARRAY. Sims
and Moore were both Of them furnished
with Il ball and chain.
