The Opererfa.

The Operetta to be performed under
the direction o. Miss Anglia Everett at
the Academy of Music on the evening
of the 22nd inst, promises to be a
rare treat. The entertainment will
commence with the operetta in four
acts, entitled The Fairy Queen, con-
sisting of solos, duets, trios and cho-
ruses. With such singers as Mrs.
Golden in the character of Fairy Queen,
Miss. Hattie Dodge as First Fairy, Mrs.
d. W. PomerOy in the character of the
widow, and Arthur Childs as Peter
Grim, the miser, and over fifty of our
young singers sustaining the other
parts, it cannot fail to be of unusual
interest The closing part of the pro-
gramme will be a musical drama in
one act, entitled The Lost Laila, in
which Misses Minnie Chambers and
Hattie Dodge take leading PARTS. Dur
ing the evening Mrs. Rickett, with her
well-trained voice of uncommon pow
er and compass, will render one of her
choice solos. We understand the cos
tunes will be very fine.

The school Nee ting.

Pursuant to notice a special school
meeting was held at the school-hOuse
on Thursday evening last. After the
appointment of Mr.. j. ID. Putnam
chairman, the meeting proceeded to
business. A resolution was offered by
Mr.. A. P. Weld to repair the old build
ing and fix it up suitable for the wants
of the district. Mr.. E. d. Holmes Of
fered an amendment that the cost
should not exceed the amount of the
school fund already IN the hands of
the district treasurer. The amend
ment was carried. After some discus
sion the vote was taken on the resolu-
tion as amended, which was lost. A
motion was then made to postpone the
removal OF the building until May lst.
1873, which was carried. The vote
taken at the annual meeting to raise
SO. 900 was rescinded, and 1T was finally
left with the school board to repair the
building in a suitable manner for
school purposes for the time being.
There was considerable discussion
during the meeting and many differ
ent views expressed. There having
been some question in regard to the
title of the land on which the building
now stands, a copy of the original deed
had been procured and was read by
Prof. Pratt which dispelled all doubts
as regards the validity of the district
title to the premises. After the busy
season is over another meeting will
probably be called, when the school
house question will doubtless be set
tied.

AFrzR HARvEST.-The much promised
latter harvest" will soon be along.
We have heard about it ever since last
Christmas. 1t is the 'open sesame"
of debtors. What man is so poor he
cannot pay after harvest At is the
easiest thing in the world. Men that
own not foot of land and like the
s'Son of man, will accommodate you
with the greatest alaerity-after har-
vest. Harvest is the epoch of the
year. 1t is the time when the poor
debtors are to set down their burdens
and become creditors themselves. 1t
is the time when a wonderful financial
coup d'etdt is TO be made. The reap
ers and sewing machines are to be
paid for. The bills of the merchant.
editor. lawyer, doctor and mechanic
are to be liquidated. Notes are to be
cancelled and mortgages released.
1t is the financial millennium OF the
year. Our business men are all max
ing arrangements for it. and we our
selves confess being at least little
nervous on the subject. We are GO
ing to have the holes in our pockets
sewed up. and buy twenty-five cent
savings bank. We don't want it said
that we were not prepared for the
great changc.-E.r.

On Thursday morning last our citizens
were startled by the news that valuable
span OF horses belonging to Geo Smith had
been stolen from the stable of Delos Baker, a
farmer living about three miles west Of this
village. A young man, Frank Jacobs by
name, who had been working for Mr.. Baker,
stole the horses ON the night OF the otn IN
slant. Mr. Baker tracked the horses the
next morning short distance towards Els
sworth and then lost the trail. Sheriff Nelson
was then notified and with posse started in
pursuit and after skirmishing awhile a farm
er by the name of Engle found the horses in
the vicinity of Levi Stafford's. The thief re-
manned in the vicinity, procured meal for
himself at Mr. StaffOrd's and stayed the same
night at Barden's hotel in Trimbelle village.
He was identified and confessed the crime.
Beng taken before justice Garfield, OF Ellis
worth, he plead guilty, aud was sent to Jail
IN defalt of 81, 900 bail. He claimed that his
motive was TO acquire sufficient means to en-
able him to wed young lady TO whom he
had been, for a long time, engaged.
