On Friday evening, 10Th inst, No Dts
tr!ct school of Bozeman closed till mex
fan. =. B. Gray. Esq. had charge of ID,
advanced department. The duties of which
were performed with fidelity end ability
rarely equaled. He was earnest and -
siduous in his work, and the rapid i'm
provement of his pupils 10 evidence thai
his lators were rewarded. The primary
department was in the care Of e. D. ,Nes
guson, and the rapid progress Of the ht(ls
people atteets that he has done biz duty
very faithfully. 1t was . source of regre,
to many that the school had 70 be closed
SO early IS the scholars in both depart
ments were advancing with unusual
rapidity IN their various studiee. The
school in Bozeman this winter has been ol
q very interesting and pleasant character.
Teachers and pupils appreciated and IN.
derstcod one another, and learning va
the great aim of all. The ambition IA
stand we'll on the roll of honor was com
mendable. and none were indifferent IA
the promotion, from the adult to the
smallest scholar in the school. The i'm
proveinent in al of the pupils was more
manifest at the late session of the Distric,
school than any previous one. Little folks
that knew not . letter in the book when
starting to school this winter came out a
the close readers. The scholars in the I'd
vauccd department, sterling in low grades
on leaving had acquired most of the rudi
ments of the higher branches, and needed
to go to school no more.
Then there 10 another feature IN cousec
ton with the school exercises this winter
that should moi be overlooked. M1ny
warm and enduring friendships have bsen
formed, that will bring sweet and pleasss,
memories oil along the journey Of life.
Those of Us who have passed through
these scenes remember. when name il
mentioned, how ready We were " say,
I'VE were schoolmates," and how pleas.
ant the revival of early school days and
its pleasant memories. This will be the
feeling in after years of these young
people just disbandcd when they call 70
mind the recolIec,ions the many agreeable
days they spent Ut school in Bozemau dur.
ing the past winter. Then again, who
knows how many young hearts have
pledged undy,nz affection for one another
during the happy hours Of this school,
Teachers may have rigid rules and watch
carefully over the young people under
their charge, but 10 kind of vigilance has
been sufficient to exclude Cupid from en-
terng where there is youth and beauty,
and the late District school we are salts
fled WAS not an exception in that respect
Love reaches oil hearts, but flows most
easily into young and warm bosoms, throl,-
blng 80 strongly that it requips D, sharp
detective to perceive its presence. No less
than six engagements have been the result
This is mere guess, yet an investigation
will show that We are not much out Of the
way. Notwithstanding the circumstances
referred to above. these ardent youths
sfrove eagerly to excel in theirstudies, and
qualify themselves to be worthy of each
other. We give no names, for that would

he c;ose of the year, the announcements

Take it all in al, and the District school
