Yesterday afternoon as lIr. Slater and
Walter Elwell were travelling along the
county road from the Snoqmlmic to the
Skykomish, and when about midway be-
tween the two rivers, were surprised and

ScuooI, EXuIBITIoN.-It is now gem
orally known and acknowledged that our
public school system is in advance of
that of any other nation, because it is
progressive, Every year new branches
Of study, or old ones in IN improved
form, are being placed before the youth
of our land. But it is necessary that we
have q respite from study at times, in
order to rest and invigor0te the mind
and prepare it for the solution and de-
velopment of difficult problems. Mrs,
Bell, who is conducting the school here
at present to the entire satisfaction of
all, seeing the situation, and knowing
tIat music is one of the very best rem:
edies for an oyertasked brain, as it rests
one set of faculties while it Cultivates an
other, has decided to purchase an organ |
Tor the school and pay for 1t by giving a
series Of entertainments. The first of
which, in the form OF a school exhibition, |
was given last Wednesday evening. |
The scholars without exception conduct
eu the exercises in manner chat did |
hohoT to themselves and teacher, and !
nl'eu their parents hearts with pride
'no organ, which is a very handsome
'''' mas been procured by Mrs. Bell, and
'oSt about $3.50. But there is no reason
10 doubt the ability OF the enterprise to
raise that amount, us these entertain
'"ent' are first class and highly apprcci.
