Mr.. EDITOR: "Ursus" still lives .
and sends friendly growl to your
readers.
As the Winter had 10 charms it can
lose none. and there is 10 sorrow in
Brimtield for its parting days. But
there il joy unspeakable fer the APP
proach oi Spring. The little birds are
already tuning their songs; the bugs
ami the tCads, tha crews and the frogs
will all join IN one grand inharmoni-
ous chorus, such Hs city folks only
hear when they visit the country. In
deed. you never hear such harmony Of
Musical sounds anywhere else. Your
FiaI,e Jubilee Singers, your Arbuckles,
Clara topisa Kellogg and hundreds Of
lesser lights, are all artistiCal!y devel-
Oped, but if you would hear music true
10 nature, such as hath charms to
soot!se the savage breast" you must
hear our beetles, our robins, our blue
Jays and cauaries, our catbirds, our
loads ana crows, thrush and bullfrogs.
: nese will remind one that this world
is not for man alone; that they are
here also, and did not bring themselves
any more than man brought himself,
ana therefore do not impose themselves
ou man any more than man imposes
himself upon them, and for that rea-
son make AL the noise they please,
Brim6eld is still tiourishing.
James Ladu, teacher in District No.

Iy surprised by receiving from his

speech suited to the occasion, present
ed the book Oh behalf Of the school
IN t3e book was short poem, COM
posed by the scholars, which contained
many kind wishes for the teacher.
Thus is manifest the esteem in which
Mr Ladu is held by his school, and

only fade away when memory shall be
no more,
Mr. A. E. Carr closed a very pleas
ant term of school at the :" Six Cor
nersn two weeks ago. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Mr.. C. will be unable this
Spri ng to pursue his College course, ,on
account of weak eyes. We hope, aud
have strong faith, he may soon be able
to return to the " Mt" to resume his
work.
Mr.. E. Carrier will teach the same
school next winter that he has just
| closed. This testifies to how well his
services have been appreciated in the
past term.

in Randolph, gave good satisfaction.

will teach the same school the coming
Spring.
Miss Emma Mouiton will teach the
Center school the coming term. This
will be her second term in the same
school.
Miss Carrie Chapman will teach the
first district south of the Center OF
Brimfield There is no reason why
she will not make an excellent teacher.
We wish her abundant success.
Miss Emma Reynolds has so far pro-
gressed in the profession of teaching as
to be able to cope with men, in Win
ter schools. pardon me, ladies', this is
not meant for disparagement, nor is it
a compliment, l fear; it must be en-
enlargement, L think.) Her school is
now closed for the Winter, and the
patrons are well pleased with hei
efforts.

Miss Emma Brown no longer occupy

their fortunes iii the same beat and
Will hereafter sail together. May they
