KNAPP q WRlaHr's skating rink
at Lancaster fell in last Friday after
noon and crashed to pieces. 1t was
built q few years ago during the skat-
ing epidemic, had a 40by so foot floor,
aud was completely equipped. Quite
recently an Episcopal festival was
held in it, attended by large crowds

in it when ii fell. Public gatherings
were held there frequently, and
there was 10 thought of danger. It
is plain now that Its fall might have
been a calamity, and people feel

THE teachers meeting held at the
first ward school building last Satur-
day was not as largely attended as
might be wished for The few
present, however, were well paid for
turning out. In the morning Prof,

on "Climatic Changes" Later on,
during Mr.. Cabanis' remarks on
"Governmenl," Mr.. Rlndlaub de
