at Il loss to know what to blow about. II there

Considerable damage was done by the flood in
the city. The platform used at the mineral

Some 30 or - feet in the center of the Fox river

The paper mill at the dam was so filed with

The opening exercises of the High School
Lyceum were given on Thursday evening last at
the PRESBYTERIAN church TO very large audience,
made up OF our best people young and old. The
managers and the pupils Of the school should
feel flattered at being 50 cordially received on
this their first appearance this year, ard II the
excellent character OF Thursday nights enter
tainmcnt is kept up we can guarantee an equal
ly good audience whenever they choose 10 favor
US.
The music We though, was y most excellent
part Of the programme, and while we enjoyed
it all, we were particularly pleased with the
duets by Misses Fannie Hull and Carry Manley,
and Misses Mae Blanchard and Lulie Nash, both
of which were pretty and exccllently rendered.
Emerson Morgan's essay on the senseless use OF
polysyables was a sensible and well written ef.
fort. We hope when he gets to be Freshman
he'll remember tho idea of his youth Mr.
Schrecb's essay on Literary Societies was well
written article, was well read, and received close
attention; but it was too long-much too long
for his audience who toward the last, in the rear
of the room especially, began to grow uneasy
and noisy The readings of Misses Fannie Been
and Fannie Cheever were Of the first order and
which received the more applause we are unde'
cided. Miss BEEN, however, seemed little
more timid than Miss Cheeyer, and like all
young readers, was afraid to let her voice out,
yet her effort was one TO be proud Of. The essay
of Miss George was well written and nicely read
We especially commend its brevity. All neces-
sary was said and the effect was twhat is always
sign Of success) desire for more on the part
o, the audience. The declarations were much
better than we had expected to hear. The
Dying Soldier" by Shock, was nicely deliy
cred, but as in all poetical declarations deliv-
cred by young disclaimers, the jingle OF ther rhyme
was too clearly heard. There was no jingle Of
rhyme in Chas. Hamllton's piece, however, and
he created considerable sensation. Fred. Ho
berts paper was good, read well, and took still
better. II was pleasant Lyceum and we hope
will be repeated
