 Prof. Carroll, principal of the state normal school, gave very pleasant and suggestive talk before the school board and teachers, upon the new and improved methods in teaching, at the chapel on Monday evening. All present evinced deep interest in the matter, and other sim liar occasions may be expected at inter- vals through the winter. In lieu of gas companies and electric light corporations private liberality must come to the front in the matter of street illumination. As the evenings lengthen we hope the gross darkness may be pene- trated by dozen lanterns hung from trees or corners of houses to light the walks and approaches. An expense of penny or two per night will make each house look cheerful and inviting, and the street less impenetrable and gloomy. The Hanoverian Family come on Sat urday evening, the 18th. All will go, and none will regret it. The brightness of lit- tie Ina and the already marked genius and bristling enthusiasm of Master Lonnie will repay visit to say nothing of the many attractions contributed by other members of the troupe.
