DIED.

BONN AT the Lake House, in this village, on
Friday, December 21st. John G. Bohn. in the
4Sth year of his age.
Mr.. Bonn has been q resident of Two
Rivers for upwards of quarter of q
century, and was widely known as the
landlord of the Lake House. He took
a keen interest in the growth and pros
perity of the town and believed in iber-
ally supporting her churches and public
schools, for the benefit OF the commun-
ity at large. He was a kind and provi-
dent parent and loved his children dear
ly. All who knew John Bohn knew
that he had one sad habit, that of strong
drink, but it was one that had so firm a
hold on him that neither the strongest
resolutions on his part nor the earnest
solicitation of friends could Danish it
but, Notwithstanding, up to the time of
his death he never ceased to struggle
against it. His funeral which took place
yesterday was very largely attended, al
though the weather was very damp and
disagreeable. Chronicle.

C'onnor's countrymen to accept two dol
lars in full payment of debt of three
dollars, the compromise will be made on
the basis of the Professors insolvency,
rather than the Irishman's inability to
count
The manner in which the opening
stanzas of Her Letter were read wrongs
''the woman in the case" In those
passages, the Professor makes her APP
pear mincing, affected, society-spoiled
sort of darling veritable ''girl of the
period" This was hardly Bret Harte's
conception of her. He contemplated a
girl who was faithful in spite Of great
temptations to Inconsistency, who was so
artless as to avow her attachment, and
SO devoted as to pledge her fdelity-one
who had 'fheart" to be s'struck," as
she says at the close of the Letter. 1t
would be simply impossible for such
miss as the Prof. delineates to 'leave
proposal half spoken % in her haste to
write to Joe. She would forget his ex-
istence the day she left the Flat, and, in
view of her character, she could probably
do the poor fellow no more substantial
favor.
Neither the language nor his persona
ton of Charlie MachTee seems to justify
the high opinion which Prof. Cumnock
says he has of the production. The
acting was strained the seeking for
effect, too apparent. To one who, like
the writer, obtains an INTRODUCTION to
Charlie and his adored, at an elocution-
airy performance, the twain are apt to
appear pair of young fools. No girl
having grain of common sense or any
womanly reserve would, in such playful
and unconcerned tones as the audience
heard, invite her lover to a dalliance, at
the peril of his life, and no man worth
rhyming about would heed such an invi-
tation. The deepest feeling which the
piece awakens is a feeling of regret that
Charlie does not meet the same fate
that befell the 'stall young oysterman. J"
The delivery of Horatius at the Bridge
fully merited the generous applause it
received. TIE reputation of the Prof.
probably rests on his Rotations quite
as largely as on his reading.
Prof. C.'s pronunciation of the names
of certain characters in the Merchant OF
Venice differs from that given in Web
ster's Dictionary. Whether the Die
tionary is or is not conclusive as to the
pronunciation of names of fiction, it
must be admitted that its authority
| cannot be safely disregarded i'll the pro-
nunciation of such words as bosom,
gallons, again, and maeta0aor1ohosed.
Notwithstanding an adverse criticism
or two made herein, few members of
Prof. Cumnock's audience were more
pleased by the many excellent features of
his entertainment than was the writer,
| and none will more heartily welcome
his re-appearance here. K.

The closing exercises at the High
School on Friday were witnessed by a
large number of ladies and gentlemen.
The exercises consisted of Shakespearian
readings by a number of the more adj
vanced pupils, and singing by the school.
The former were very interesting and
the latter showed careful training by
Mr.. Briggs, the Principal, and rapid
progress by the school. Before leaving,
Mr.. L. J. Nash, on behalf Of the Direc-
tors, made well timed address to the
school and its patrons, and just as the
audience, was about to retire Miss Elite
Markham, in a neat little speech, pre-
scented Mr.. Briggs with beautiful
silver card receiver and vase, presented
to him by the scholars as a token of
their esteem. Il was genuine surprise
and one of the pleasant features of the
occasion.

THE PRIMARY SCHOOL.

Little children need personal atten-
ton and instruction, and well ordered
primary school should never have over
forty pupils, and thirty IS better. The
home is the true pattern Of education,
when the mother has small number to
teach, say from one to six or seven chill
dren.
The kindergarten follows, with its
classes Of eight or twelve children. But
when we come to the primary school,
the common custom is to herd children
together as a flock of sheep, and then to
ask teachers to instruct, develop, and dici-
pine them wisely and we'll. If you have
not a constitution like iron, you will break
down in health in attempting to do what
some may suggest, excepting them
stil;" and isn't that about the most fool
ish as well as wicked thing that was ever
asked of tie acher, or proposed to be
done with little children, namely, to
keep them still
Why not suggest keeping lambs still,
calves still, colts still, and have them
grow healthy and strong A primary
school should never be still, any more
than the spinning room of cotton fac
tory.
There should be order, but never qni-
ct. The Stiffness that hears pin drop is
always suggestive of grave-yards and
other solemn places. Break up such
stiffness, or you and your children will
be in your graves long before the good
Lord meant you should be.
A good lively beehive in July is the
best model for primary sch ocl; and if
there is buzzing and humming, it is a
good sign of work. The winters honey
is being stored in that hive.

THE January Scribner begins and ends
with a fine Christmas poem. Mr..
Boyesen's opening ballad, ''Jarl Sigurd's
Christmas Eve" is the means of intro
ducing to the magazine the pencil OF
Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote, who has made
large illustration for this poem and is
hereafter to contribute frequently
Another phase OF the holiday feature is
given in Irwin Russel's ''Christmas
Night in the Quarters" which repro
duces an old time scene in the South,
and contains three separate dialect poems
with illustrations by Hopkins. ''Fox
Hunting liz New England" may be
fairly called Christmas topic, and MIR.
ROLAND E. Robinson discusses it with
enthusiasm in an illustrated paper of
fourteen pages. An anonymous paper
on .sDr. Schliemenn at Mycene," re-
views in judicial vein the famous dis
coveries of that explorer, many Of the
objects, including some Of the finest,
being shown in the engravings. John
III ssBirds and Birds" for which Miss
Bridges, who is SO well known by her
bird pictures has made several drawings.
The poems in the number are by DR..
Holland, Edmund G. Stedman, Sidney
Lanier, Isabella F. Mayo, Mary E. Brad
ley, II. S. Kellogg, Paul Ell. Hayne and
'sH. H." an unusual list, and one which
will attract the more attention because
a number of the poems are finely illus
trated. Besides prose articles already
mentioned and the installments of Ed.
ward Eggleston's 'sRoxy" and Adeline
Trafton's "His Inheritance" we have q
short story by SAKE Holm and second
paper on Keats by r. FL. Stoddard, in
which the life and the poetic growth of
the poet are traced to the end. The
paper is one of unusual liter airy worth,
as study of Keats more thorough and
more justly appreeiative than any critic
has as yet made.
ST.. NICHOLAS for January, like the
issue for December,-of which 100, 700
copies were printed, shows at the first
glance that it is in a special sense a
'sChristnas Holiday Number;iin fact it
is neither more nor less than condensed
essence of holiday, CHEEKY and full OF
interesting stories and bright pictures.
The frontispiece alone, ''Two ways of
carrying the Mall" at once suggests
sleds, to;aoggans, moonlight sleigh-rides,
and all manner of winter frolics.
Among the more markedly instructive
articles are San Agreeable Guest, in
which one learns how to behave when
visiting; "The Stork and the Crane, ;"
an illustrated humorous fable by How
ard Pyle; s<The Arms Of Great Britain, y
history of the Coat-of-Arms of the Old
Country, by Susan Archer Weiss, with
a. picture; Something in the Old
Clothes Line short talk about an
cient costumes, with portrait of a lady
who s'looked like a cat;;' and GLOW to
make an Ice Boat" with diagrams and
full directions, by J. FL. Hubbard.
The whole number is full of mirthful
fancies, suggestions, wisdom, good will,
fine art, and wholesome and strengthen
ing literature.
