The Select School, at this place,
closed on the oath of Sept. This
school, owing to the ability and un-
tiring devotion of the principal, j.
W. Hawkins, has been in every par
ticular a grand success. Prof. Haw-
kins has the heart felt thanks Of
both parents and pupils for the no.
bic efforts he has put forth in their
behalf. He has, during his sojourn
at this place, won for himself many
warm friends, as well ae the reputa-
tion, which he so well deserves, of
being one of old lIonroes best
teachers. There has been an in
crease Of 53& over the enrolment
of last summer, and we feel that
this school has been second to none
in the County.
At2 p. m. a motion carried to sus-
pend the regular exercises. On mo-
tion B, F. Dye was elected chairman
and ChAs. Hill secretary. The ex-
ercises opened by singing

tions were adopted:

Prof. a lasting debt of gratitude fol
the valuable services rendered dur.
ing this school, and that we extend
to him our grateful thanks for the
same.
Resozred, That we, in apprecia
ton of his ability and qualifications
as teacher, extend to him a cordial
invitation to teach another term the
coming summer.
Rcsoleed, That in our opinion, il
will be to his advantage as well as
ours, to continue his service at this
place.
Resolced, That should we be sc
unfortunate as to lose his service as
teacher, we wish him success through
life, wherever he may be.
After which the school closed by

GRANDVIEW.

The Sabbath School picnic held
at this place Saturday, Sept. 25th,
was a grand success. The people
began to gather early in the morn
ing, and at noon the grove was well
dotted with people. They met at
the school house and after some mu-
sic by the Beallsville Cornet Band,
marched to the grove where they
were entertained by good music by
the choir, with Miss Alice VanLaw
at the organ. Also some good speak
ing from Michael Boughner, Esq,
Rev. Darby, John Jeffers and others.
The Beallsville Band furnished
us with plenty of good music.
Also some good speeches from
some of the little Sabbath School
scholars and a song by Miss Maggie
Mellott, which she rendered with
great credit to herself.
"Sailor" we are glad to know that
you have awakened from your dreamy
slumber, and have taken up youl
pen to fill the vacancy caused by
absence. Come again, ''Sailor."
We hear reported that Cameron
is to have a brass band. We hope
that it may prove true.
Rev. Devore, of Beallsyille, com
menced a protracted meeting at
Gates Church, Sept. 23d, and will
continue about two weeks.
Miss Lena Atkinson, who has
been in Wheeling the past summer
has returned home.
A telegram was received here g
few days ago, from Bridgeport, that
Miss Bolen formerly of this place
was not expected to live.

DOUGLAS, WYOMING.

Having been travelling through the
western country since last May l
have not received NY Spirit" and
in consequence know but little of
the affairs of gallant old Monroe
but expect to hear good report of
her at all times.
! have located in Douglas, Wyo-
ming. Now. Messrs. Editors, don't
get down your map and go to look
ing for Douglas, for if you do your
search will likely be more than fruit
less, as Douglas was only born two
weeks ago, and, as "a consequence, the
makers have not found it as yet.
Douglas is situated on the north
side of the North Platte River, (but
owing to bend in the river it is
really on the east side of the river. J
just east of the fort Fetterman MIL
tary reservation, and about 20 miles
west of Fort Laramie. l. is at pres
ent the western terminus of the Elk
horn, d Missouri Valley Railroad.
This is virtually the western exten-
sion of the Chicago q Northwestern
Railroad. So much for our location.
You will naturally ask what is there
in Douglas to give it such a ''boom,"
that although but two weeks old its
fame has spread from ocean toocean?
First, it is the heart of the greo4
range country, and will make one of
the main shipping points for cattle,
sheep and horses in the great west.
1t is estimated that from 10000 to
10000 cars of cattle will be shipped
from here during the present sea-
son. This besides sheep and horses.
Cattle, sheep and horses run here all
winter without any feed or shelter,
save what nature provides.
The mineral resources of the ter
ritory are vast-far more than has
ever been supposed-and include
