disturbance Of business where there is moth
ing to distract the attention of the student
from his work. This improvement is graf
ifcation to all the friends Of the school.
Much credit is due to the High School
Building Association and particularly to
Mrs. Ann +. Greely. whose unceasing per-
soma services have contributed so much to
cause and perfect this improvement.
Mr.. Walter r. Whi,tle is still principal
Of this school. At the close of the last wear
Miss Pond. the former assistant, resigned
and Miss Alice NJ kimball was elected to
that position. Sixteen students graduated
in July last; the whole number now in at
udance is seventy. We are able to report
the condition and management Of this
school as highly satisfactory. The ins,ruc-
ton is clear and practical and the work thor
oughIy and faithfully done.
In making this repor, Of the High school
We would remind you that the needs Of this
school demand an increase in the appropria-
tion. 1t has been with the closest economy,
and in some particulars, We fear, almost bv
parsimony that the expenditures have been
kept within the appropriation. The school
needs apparatus and furnishings in order to
secure the best results, and We earnestly
recommend that your honorable board appro-
pirate to this school such a sum as will COW
er rs hecrssar, and proper expenditures

Wisconsin, and, although to stranger
passing through, the great extent of clear

nearly devastated of its lumber, vet what
has been cut is as nothing to the millions
that remain. Heretofore, nothing has been
cut, except such as was convenient to
streams. Logging by railroad is now get
ting a fair start, however, and in few
years probably thres-fourths of it will be
done that way. The Minneapolis, Sault
Sainte Marie and Atlantic" road is being
built almost solely for that purpose.
The railroad has spurs" or branches
running from the main line directly to the
scene of operations in the woods, where it
takes the logs and carries them to the river,
whence they are fioated to the mills

Dear american:
1t don't seem hardly possible that so great
a contrast 10 the weather. could prevail be
tween Ellsworth and New York, as during
the past ten days, but reading of your great
snow blockade. prompts me to send you an
account of the weather here during your
siege.
On Thursday evening Feb. %, when your
snow storm began, it was just clearing off
here from southeast transform, and early
Friday morning, there was not cloud in
the sky, but was blowing northwest, 81
miles an hour, and at this hour the wind is
still northwest and we have had an un-
clouded sky ever since the Goth, but not a
gale blowing since Monday morning.
the streets are as dry as in summer and
such an uninterrupted season Of clear wealth.
er hardly ever is seen in March, with a
prospect now of several days more Of it,
For several days the thermometer was as
low as 10 degrees above zero and ice made
in the rivers and harbors.
The long heavy Northwestern has kept all
vessels from arriving and not craft from
foreign ports has arrived here for twelve
days, the Oldest inhabitant not remember
ing such an occurrence before. There must
have been great suffering at sea on this
coast, and probably many vessels fate will
never be known. Yours truly,
JOIN A. LORD.
