CLOSING EXERCISES AT THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

On Tuesday evening last the first public ex-
cises of the week were begun in Normal Hall
with lecture by the Rev. l.. Zahner under the
auspices Of the Calliepian Literary Society.
The subject was Germany" and a goodly an
dience was highly entertained. Ga Wednesday
afternoon the school exercises began at o'clock
with prayer by Rev. Dr. McCron. Prof Hoff-
man then favored the large audience with some
excellent instrumental music, and Carl Girls
void and Fred G. Morris engaged in a contest
in crayon drawing on the blackboard resulting
in report from Rev. l.. Zahner, L. Bernard
and Prof. Miller, the committee, in favor Of Carl
Griswold. Then followed a contest in recita-
ton on Bones of the Human Body, between two
sections Of the Model School won by I'd division;
and contest in spelling between the
ladies and gentlemen of the Preparatory class
Normal School, won by the latter, the ladies
missing words and the gentlemen out of a
hundred pronounced. The contest in elocution
between the Senior and Junior classes was very
interesting. The former led off with Poe's
"Bells" recited very creditably, and the latter
Theodore Tilton, also very well done. Judge
Elwell, Rev. s. Mitchell and Rev. Mr. Writ,
the, committee on the contest, decided in favor of
the Juniors.
The performance by the Gymnastic class was
exceedingly well executed and resulted in the
award of diplomas to all the members of the
class, by the committee appointed to report on
them.
A contest between two sections of the b class,
model school, was drawn game, the committee
not being able to decide.
In the absence of the principal, Dr. Grisvold,
Judge Elwell presented the gymnastic class
with their diplomas, and made few appro-
PIRATE remarks, congratulating them upon their
success in this department, and urging them on
to renewed efforts for equal success in all their
undertakings.
DR.. Griswold being unable to attend the ex-
ercises by reason of his continued illness, Prof
Burrows directed proceeding.
At half past four o'clock the class of 1877
met on the campus and went through the fol-

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1877-06-29

An attempt was made one night last week, by
some unknown burglar to enter the house of
w. ii. Jacoby on Centre Street. Mrs. Jacoby
was, fortunately, awakened by the noise made
in trying to open window, and lighted the gas,
which frightened the intruder into flight An
investigation in the morning showed that the
would be thief had nearly succeeded in gaining
an entrance, as nail which alone held the
window had been broken OIL. Several matches
which had been lighted were found under the
window. Could this burglar have been aware
that the Register and Recorder lived in that
house? Or, worse yet, could he have known
that he was an ex-editor? OF course all ex-edi
tors are weallhy-the newspaper business as
every one knows being an absolute gold mine
but editors have to work hard for their money
and it is the most base and rascally of offences
to rob them. Mr.. Jacoby's loss on this occasion
was principally in sleep-but he thinks he can
make it up. Our sympathies are with him in
his trouble.
