The spelling school held in school house
of district No. 3 on the evening of the q
cit. was a grand affair. The house was
crowded, fully $50 entering the lists.
During one ''set' Mr.. Kirwan ofManitowoc
pronounced the words and some splendid
spelling was accomplished. The lest of
order was maintained and much friendly
rivalry manifested for supremacy. Eight
teachers participated, each one Of whom
died hard they being killed in rapid sue
cessiOn by your humble correspondent with
his little crthograpiical Ratchet. OF course
this was a for5gone concluson-no person
being surprised thereat, having Witnessed

We understand lbat the salary of the
pastor Of St. Isidor's church has been
raised for the ensuing year. This is a
move in the right direction and one which
the people will heartily indor.e. His in.
domitable energy in preaching and spread
the gospel; his splendid system of iustruc-
ton for the young and his hearty co opera.
ton in the cause of temperance and virtue
make him the idol of his parish oners No
clergyman is doing more for the general
welfare of the community than he, aud
hence the great esteem in which he is held
by all classes and creeds.
The Temperance society has succeeded
in linking itself to the State organization,
and can hereafter participate in the de,
liberations and benefits of that tody. This
is a splendid achievement and one of which
every one here feels proud. Able and
eloquent lecturers are furnished local So
cieties free of cost. We expect one-prob-
ably Father O'Malley, the president of the
state organ zation-in a few weeks, of
which timely and ample notice will be
given. The cause" was never SO popular
or prosperous as now.
! 4 fearful runaway occurred here on Mon
day. Mr.. w. accompanied by a most par
ticular friend we're taking sleigh ride and
! enjoying the salubrious sunshine of that
delightful day. They drove one of the
most magnificent horses in northern Wis
consin, horse gentle as a lamb in double
harness hut full of fine and energy in a
single rig" hir. W. was fully aware Of
| his viciousness and mettle, but being an
excellent horseman, had implicit confidence
in his ability to handle and control him.
The horse, for the first few miles behave
splendldly and scored some of the best time

and act mischieyously. Had lot the driver
inbibed freely be might control led hiu,
for to do him justice he handles be ribbons
scientifically, but alas his nerves ner- ~.
strung by too frequent and weigh g.--
tions. In an unlucky moment be i.s
control and away dashed the horse VIII.
the speed Of the lightning. In less than i.
minute the cutter was capsized and it,
terrified inmates dashed violently out, but
fortunately received but few s. light bruises
in the face and arms. The horse made
rapid time for his comfortable quarters, but
tue fragments of the beautiful cutter did
not arrive until twenty four hours later.

Supt. Walker has finished visiting the
schoo, Of this locality. Many of them he
found in pretty good trim" but there is
room for improvement in each and every
one of them uoRsET
