This paper stated last week that j. c.
Nyman, of Bangor, treated the II. A. Ms. to
an oyster supper. Observer would like to
know what the Z. w. Els. had been doing
that they too, were not invited to the feast.
Perhaps they were off to quilting party, or
had broken into a neighboring turnip patcL'
and were feasting there, or in some manner
had had the wool pulled over their eyes.

1t may seem to some Of our citizens
that the appropriation to be spread
upon the tax roll for school purposes
this year, is rather high, and we admit
that the amount is large, but when it
Is taken into consideration what it is
absolutely necessary must be done, it
will be seen that the amount is, if
anything, hardly large enough to meet
all the requirements. 1t is fact we'll
known to most of our citizens, that for
several years past our school rooms
have been so crowded that it has been
absolutely impossible for the teachers
in most of the departments to dojustice
to the scholars under their charge, and
as q natural consequence the scholars
have not advanced as rapidly as they
might had the teacher not been COM
PEELED, in many instances, to instruct
double the number of pupils that should
be placed in their charge. At present
there are in some of the rooms from 20
to 80 pupils, and when we consider that
45 scholars are enough to be under the
charge Of one teacher, can it be wonder
ed at that the Board Of Education is
looking in the direction Of building
new school houses? Even now there
are at least 200 scholars more attend
ing school in this city than there is
school accommodation for, and to re-
lieve this over crowded condition of the
schools, the district will this season
erect a two story wooden building, con-
tanning four rooms, at the corner Of
Fourth and Lewis streets. But this is
not all that is and will be needed in the
way of additional school room for the
coming school year. The school house
in the second ward is yet unfinished
and the building should be at once com
pleted with the other wing, thus giving
room for 40 or 80 scholars more. TIL,
addition of new school rooms, will O
course, call for an additional number o
teachers, and oil this tends to swell tn,
aggregate. AS Alpena grows in popu
, lation, so does it increase in the humble
Of school children, and above all othe
requirements Of children, we say, Civ
: them good common school education
Of course this can only be done by fir,
supplying the required amount ofschot
room and employing competent teacl
} ers to instruct the pupils.

been remedied. The organ prints its
inside, and the Reporter prints its own
outside-one having the overcoat and
the other the bowels printed in some
other city. Now, why didn't they
amalgamate? One had its inside and
the other had its outside ready for the
public, and if they had only embraced
and printed the inside pages of the
organ on the missing inside pages of
tho Reporter, or the outside pages of
the Reporter on the missing outside
pages of the organ, things would have
been all right, and the reader would
have got two papers instead Of one.
To avoid confusion one side should be
labelled, "This is the Reporter !" and
the other side should bare the inscrip-
ton, "This is the organ" This would

Potter was one of the most earnest
workers and devout members Of the
Congregational church, faithful and

On Saturday morning last, the peo-
pie along the bank of the main river,
were somewhat surprised at the man.
ner in which the water came pouring
down. Mr.. Manning informed us that
according to his mark, it raised from
10 to IL feet in very short time
The cause was, as near as we can
learn, that three dams on the head
waters of the main river broke away,
belonging to Messrs. Pack and Avery.
AS the water has been very low in the
river, they wanted to keep all they
could get, and by doing so, they saved
more than the dam could hold, and the
upper one giving way, took the other
two with it. The bridges hereabouts
stood it we'll, but it was lucky for them
that the logs were not running very
thick at the time. If the water lowers
fast, as is expected, the logs will be in
bad condition, as a great many will be
carried out on the banks and left. The
loss to the owners of the dams we have
not ascertained, but will, without doubt,
be several hundred dollars. Up to
time of going to press, the water low
cred between eight and ten feet.

Death OF Mrs. w. II. Potter.

Last week we made mention of the
fact that Mrs. W. H. Potter of this city
had gone to Detroit, and there, at the
St. Mary's Hospital, undergone sur
gical operation for the removal of can
cerous tumors from her left side. Mrs.
Potter appeared to rally after the oper-
alton, and it was thought that she was
getting along nicely and would soon
recover; but, on Wednesday, she be-
gan to fail and gradually grew weaker
until Thursday afternoon, when she
quietly passed from this world of sin
and trouble to a better land beyond.
Her devoted husband was at her bed
side with words Of comfort and cheer
during her last days, but alas, her time
had come, and the Almighty, to whose
will we must all succumb, gathered
her to the realms above, to everlasting
life.
The remains were brought to this
city by steamer City of Cleveland, on
Saturday morning and taken to her late
residence, on Washington avenue,
where they remained till Saturday
afternoon, when the funeral took S ,.scs
from the Congregational church, the
funeral services being participated in
by Rev. A. B. Allen, formerly pastor
of the church, Rev. A. w. Westgate
the present pastor, and Revs. E. L.
Little and VIM. Donnelly. The church
was crowded to overlooking, and humid
reds of people were unable to gain
an entrance.
While the remains were at the resi-
dence hundreds Of eur citizens called tC
take last sad farewell of the one they
had for so many years looked up to a.
one of the most exemplary christian
women of the city, and to express sen
timents Of sympathy for the bereavet
husband. The floral decorations at tn,
house were truly grand, consisting of tive
beautiful pillows Of flowers, one on eacl
side Of the casket, with the word crest
in the center of each at the foot of the
casket was a handsome floral design
containing the words, "The Gates Ajar; :
a cross Of scarlet flowers; q wreath o

roses, sent from friends at Detroit; ant

plants adorned the room; and these
with many others, were also at tn
church, while in front of the pulpit, an
amid a most magnificent collection G
flowers, entirely framed from flower
, were the words "He giveth His blesse

Last Sunday a couple of men were
inducing steer, by means of rope
tied to the horns, to 60 up Wash
ington avenue, and when near Fifth
street, the steer became frisky and
turned somerset. The result was
that when the steer regained his feet, he
was more temperate, being minus a
horn. AS an acrobat the steer was not
a success. Another somerset, with sim
liar result, would make him mulley
and like strapped toper-hornless.
