Davy Crockett, Dec. 23d.

In the virgin forests of old Kentucky
dwelt the Crockets, simple backwoods
folk, noted for their manly and noble
virtues, for their skill as huntsmen, their
daring as pioneers, their true and tender
devotion as sons and brothers, husbands
and fathers; their truth and virtue, faith
fulness and devotion as wives and sisters,
mothers and daughters. Simple folk
were they all-simple, yet grand in that
nobility of character which constitutes
the true gentleman. What wonder that
Eleanor Vaughn, the heiress and beauty,
though bred in the lap of luxury and
ease, should lose her heart to the brave
Davy. A true woman always admiree
nobility and grandeur in the opposite
sex. Ladies if you would see true per-
sonifcation of your ideal man, don't fail
to see Davy Crockett, Thursday evening
next. Admission 35 and so cents, no
extra charge for reserved seats. Gallery

Davy Crockett, Dec. 23d.
Christmas Time.

The present week is busy one and
might be well denominated children's
week. from the amount of time that is
occupied in providing for the wants of
the Juveniles in view of the near ap-
proach of Christmas which will be here
Saturday. 1t is safe to assume that nine
tenths OF the visits to the stores just now
are made in the interests of the rising
generation, who loudly insist on being re-
cognized at this season, if at no other
time in the whole year. Well it is most
fitting and appropriate that the children
should claim monopoly Of Christmas
and that its festivities and enjoyments
should be SO largely shared by them.
Christmas day is commemorated through
out the Christian world as the birthday
of the Savior who came as a child. Let
the hearts, then, of the little ones be
made glad with the advent of Christmas
Morn when it is told the CANCELS sang
with joy" that King and Savior was
born into the world.

Ddcy Crockett, at Turner Hal

Among the many fattering notices we
clip the following from The Greenville,
GIL Press of the 22d nit:
Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
er Fuller Opera House was crowded to
its utmost capacity, and extra chairs were
called into requisition, and after stand
ing room only. Frank A. Tannehill fill
ed the bill to perfection. Miss Talbot as
Elnor Vaughn played the part in splen-
did style; she is beautiful, and in every
respect a first class actress. Miss Carrie
Lewis as Dame Crockett could not be i'm
proved upon. The Major, Lover, William,
in fact all the characters are well pre-
scented, and in every respect first
class combinations; the play itself is sim
ply immense, full of pathos from the gay
to the grave. Success to them; we hope
they will soon again visit our city; they
can draw full house anytime. Pass
them around" Admission so and 50

that in the shape of good sized hard

The town of Weyauwega, Waupaca
County, is in bonds like ourselves, and is
having trouble over the bonded debt she
contracted in aid of the Wisconsin Cen
trail Railway. Judge Pulling of Osh.
kosh, who holds $4,000 of these bonds,
applied in November for a writ of man
damus to compel the town officers to pro
vide in their tax of this year for the pay
ment of three years interest. When the
writ was to be served the official to whom
it was directed resigned. Judge Pulling
Immediately proceeded to test the legality
of the resignation, assuming the position
that the law compels every officer to holc
until his successor is appointed. If the
clerk refuses to insert the tax in the roll
he will be arrested for contempt.

SEC. 20. The said Board shall have
| the power to allow the children of per-
sons, not residents within the city to at
tend the schools of said city, under the
care and control of said Board upon
such terms as said board shall by
resolution prescribe, fixing the tuition to
be paid therefor.
FROM THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
4S. None but children of actual bona
fde residents of the City of Watertown
shall under any circumstances be admit
ted to any of the public, schools free, but
children of non-residents may be admit
ted on payment in advance to the Super
intendent of the following tuition fee:
40. For admission into the High
School and First Grammar Grades at the
rate of $15 per annum: Second and In
termediate Grades $40 per annum; Pri-
mary Grades, IS per annum.
so. Admission OF non-residents shall
never be permitted:to the prejudices or in
convenience of the Schools.
81. The Principals of schools shall re-
ceive no nonresident pupil but on his
delivering the superintendent reception
the fees the said pupil has To pay for the
respective term or part of term, and shall
deliver the said receipt without delay to
the chairman of the Committe on Fin
ance.
Boards of Education have experienced
that, although it may seem severe and
unjust in some cases, a strict adherence
to the above rules is necessary. Excep-
tons have only been made, where parents
were unable to pay tuition, on account
of charity. ....
THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS:
1t is sometimes difficult for the district
board to determine the liability of inha-
bitants for the tuition of persons in their
employment or under their protection.
The tuition fee may with propriety be
made merely nominal, however, to such
persons as are residents of other districts,
but who are tax payers in the district
where they desire to send to school.
The question of residence settles the
question of right to free tuition in any
school.
The residence of the child is with the
parent or guardian. An orphan without
guardian takes his residence with him
wherever he goes. The district board has
no authority to admit nonresident chill
dren, &c.
