NORMAL NOTES.

SATURDAY, Dec. 8.
The rhetorlcals yesterday afternoon
did not lack their usual interest. All
the classes were worthy of mention, but
as we visited Miss Hoxie's defamation
class we shall eqnfine our remarks TO il.
The first recitation on the program
was by Miss Dorthy Gilmore. She re-
cited I'm the Harbor at Last in fair
manner, but it would have produced
much better effect had she spoken a
little louder and cotton more into the
spirit of the piece.
Miss Anna Gibson recited "'rhe Phil
osopher's Stone" She did very we'll,
but lacked the spirit of the piece.
"What Rabbi Jehosha said" was de.
claimed by Mr.. Dudly. Mr.. D., on &C
count of the illness of his sister. did not
have time to commit his defamation
thoroughly. and Miss Hoxie granted
him the privilege of reading it, We
think Mr.. Dudly, in justice to himself,
should declaim the piece to the class
again.
THE Two Roads," by Mr. Hastings,
was fairly rendered. Mr.. II has good
vocal powers, and we have no doubt he
will make good declaimer.
'sThe Burial of the Minisink" was
very well recited by Miss Jennie Haller,
as also was the kansas Emigrants", By
Miss Harris.
The members or Miss Hoxie's class are
all beginners. We have no doubt that
under the management of Miss ii. they
will become good disclaimers.
THE SOCIETIES.
The Alapha met yesterday afternoon
and held very Interesting meeting. 1t
being the day for election of officers an
election was held, which resulted as fol-
lows: President, A. A. Stevens, vice
president, II. A. 10y; secretary, Homer
Rochelle.
The members of the Literati were en-
tertained last night by a paper edited by
Mr.. Stevens and Miss Qrilla Patty. The
debate on protective Tariff was inter.
esting, as debate on this subject always
is.
The Lyceum was entertained with a
recitation by Miss Clara Eskridge; a
defamation by Mr.. Dickerson; an essay
by Miss Loua Patty; paper by Mr.
Auchard and Miss Nettie Adams; sew
eTal songs, and very Interesting debate
on the question, Resolved, That rail
roads should be nationalized" Mr.. J. J.
Kirby was on the affirmative and Mr.. Il.
A. 10y and Miss..Acssh Chamberlain on
the negative. The judges decided two
for the affirmative and one for the neg.
alive.
The Lyceum last night held an cleo
ton which resulted in the choice of the
following officers: President, w. NJ.
Davidson; vice president, Fremont Mil
Ter; secretary, Miss Adams; treasurer,
Miss Highly.

noLD BURGLARS.
Thieves Enter Jeff-s Cigar Factory and
CarIeton's Billiard Hall and Help
Themselves to What They


The cigar factory of Robert JEFF. en-
Commercial street, was entered by burg
lars during last Friday, also the bill
lizard hall of G.. T. Carleton, few doors
below. At Jea's an entrance was effected
through the front decr, one of the large
lights being broken out. The money
drawer was wrenched from its
place and left in very bad
ly dilapidated condition. 1t con-
tanned only about half dollar in
coppers. A fine meerscbaum pipe val
ued at $25, lot of cigars and other ef-
fects of the establishment, in all amount
ing to $50 or $50 were taken. The safe
was tried but was found to BE- irresistl-
bic. Al what time the burglary was
committed is not positively known, but
the family living overhead heard a
noise between 4 and 3 O'Clock this
morning, aud it is supposed that then is
when the tilchers got in their work.
AT Carleton's an entrance was effected
through the back door of the cellar;
Nothing of any consequence was taken
here. The money drawer was turned in
side out, the same as at Jeass. but it con-
tanned little or nothing. A box Of cigars.
some knives, etc, were taken, in all, per-
haps five or six dollars worth. The
thief or thieves seem 10 have been quite
familiar with the surroundings. At
CaIleton's the exit was made through
the front deor, with as much desibera-
ton as the proprietor himself would
use IN taking his departure. The only
clew To the robberies was long screw
driver left at Jeii's. which had been
used IN opening the money drawer
