IN the afternoon / reached the school
at l}igelow, and spent an hour and Il
half in the school. AS will visit this
school again soon, will say but little
of it now.
Here found Mr.. J. G.. Baldwin, the
teacher, at work, teaching the young
ideas to shoot. There were Is pupils
present. Bigeiow has good school
house and good blackboard. but needs
some outline maps, ~ Geography is
pretty generally studied, and the maps
would greatly facilitate this study.
Upon the whole. the school is doing
well. All seem interested and the
teacher devoted to his work. [ will
give Il more explicit report after my
next visit. J. G.. OGLE, Go. Supt.
Our Genevan poet has been heard
from again. lie is as inexliaustiable as
Croton Water-pipe and a slight turn
sets his muse to flowing. We are pin
ing to shake hands with him and if he
don't come out next summer and see us
all, we'll begin to pepper him with po-
etry, all made up out of our own head,
until he will lie glad to respond. But
here is his last, fou, ded on Hi incident

On last Tuesday Bro. Stivers, of the
Little Fails Transcript, welcomed the
arrival Of Il ''tiny, cute printer grip in
lis family Who will say now that
Stivers is not au aole editor?-Todd
County Argus.
The Argus is mistaken. Such an
event has not taken place in our family
for over u year. Guess you mean Bro.
Hartley, y: the Bralnerd Tribune.-I.it-
til Falls Transcript.
We guess the Argus is about right,
but the Transcript failed to come to
timr.-Todd County Argus.
The Transcript is mistaken, too.
Our ''printcr grip brought down the
S :ales at twelve pounds avordupois
Guess he means Bro. Wood, Of the Ben
ton County Press.-Brainerd Tribune.
Perhaps it was one of those bache-
lors, Stonghton Of the Lu Verne Her
aid, or Cllamberlin, of the Jackson Re-
public.
