The closing exercises in all depart
ments of the graded schools last Friday
were varied and interesting. Each school
gave its own entertainment, and the pro-
gramme in full would require two col
umns of the BANNER. This plan of
holding each school responsible for an
entire programme is having q marked
effect in raising the standard of such
exercises. 1t Is noticeable in the decla-
nations, in the recitations of poetry and
in the vocal music. Besides, ten pupils
take part under the present system
where one was called upon under the old
system of union exercises.
Many of the parts in each room were
meritOrious, and visitors and friends
were everywhere present, standing room
being at premium in most of the
schools. In the High School the exercise I
opened with America by the sch Dol,
led by the music teacher, Mr. Downs,
Mr. TOombs followed with an essay, and
Mr.. Collins Graves with a defamation,
after which Miss Moore gave selection
on the piano. A spirited essay by Miss
Daley, and interesting recitatiOns OF
poetry by Miss Wheeler and Miss Melissa
Morse, with an instrumental duet by
Misses Dakin and Daley, closed the first
part of the programme. An imprOmptl
discussion Of the Indian question fol
lowed, presided over by Collins Graves,
in which many of the scholars tool
part. The discussion was spirited ant
commendable, especially so when il il
remembered that the pupils had giveI
no time to preparation, excepting as i
could be found during examination days
The debate settled, declarations wer,
given by Mr.. Niles and Mr.. Hemenway
a recitation by Miss Holden and an essa,
by Miss Dewey. During the rendering
OF these last parts the room wa
crowded with friends and patrons of til,
school, and kind words and commenda
tons were heard on every hand. Callet
upon by Superintendent Davis, speeches
were made by several of the citizen
present: Senator Abbott, Col. L. d

THE HISTORIC SCHOOL HOUSE.
The New York Tribune sees fit to re-
mind the commissioners of the Worlds
Fair for 1892, that the building in which
President Arthur taught school immedi-
ately after his graduation from Union
College. still exists; and suggests that
it would be well to remove il to Chicago
for the Exhibition.
What was the North Pownal Academy
when Arthur was teacher is now used as
vestry for the church. He taught the
Academy in 1852 and 1858. His school
was a large one for those days, and was
composed of students from Hoosick,
Petersburgh and Pownal. Some came
also from Williamstown and a few from
Bennington. He daily opened and CLOSED
his school by reading chapter in the
Bible. He was not at that time church
member although his father was pastor
of the church at Hoosick Corners, and
quite frequently preached at o'clock
Sunday afternoon in the church at North
Pownal
1t was while his son was teaching at
North Pownal, that he was forcibly
elected from the church, where he had
appointed meeting one Sunday after
noon, on account of offensive remarks
he had seen fit to express in some of his
sermons in regard to baptism.
He came to Pownal with him when his
son made arrangements for teaching the
Academy. He 1.-THE father, was rather a
fleshy, stout man. and was lame as ii one
leg was shorter than the other. He pro
fessed to be phrenologist and amused
the children somewhat by explaining
their leading traits, telling this one that
she was fond of dolls, and another that
he was a rogue and would cheat If not
watched, He also claimed some skill IL
treating diseases, and had preparation
which he recommended for different
ailments.
Now this year 1852 was presidential
year. Gen. Winfield Scott and Franklin
Pierce were the Wing and Democratic
candidates for President of the UniteC
States. In those days boys and girl
were interested in politics, and it re
duired all the tact Of Arthur to keeI
always under proper subsection thes'

This difference in politics found ex

don't think that it is very gentle
manly or polite to ask such questions.
In fact, it is positively malicious to
do so.
These eighty-six million pins were
lost by the female sex, and the insinua-
ton is thrown out indirectly that women
can not keep any thing; that they are
always slovenly and careless; that they
are not to be relied on at all, and that
they are always putting things where
they can never find them again. That
is mean thing to insinuate. OF course,
every thing that Is lost must be lost by
US poor women, and we have no order or
system about any thing. That's what
all this talk about pins really means.
Now, pin does not amount to much.
Nobody thinks of picking up pin; SO it
is swept out, and the consequence is that
the newspaper mon write long articles
TO the effect that the women OF the
country lose daily eighty-six million
pins, worth twenty thousand dollars.

Galena Gazette. Sept 9:-Those who
had the good fortune to be abroad be-
tween the hours of $50 and 10 last night
witnessed a beautiful sight. A large
meteor arose from the eastern horizon
and assembled to the zenith, where it
broke in half a dozen pieces; the frag-
ments. some large and some small,
losing themselves in the blue flush
along the sky occasioned by the ex-
plosion. IL was rare spectacle. the
heavenly wanderer casting a blush
light, much resembling that of the arc
electric light, on the earth.
Dodgeville Sun:--A runaway occur
red on Monday which came near being
serious. Henry Stuart was driving
from the North Western depot to town
accompanied by Miss Ida Haseltine and
Miss Fannie Roberts, and Luman
Strong standing up behind the seat.
When coming down the hill on North
Main street near Harris and Johns
blacksmith shops, the team became
frightened ard ran away. The buggy
was upset at Harris shop throwing all
TO the ground. Miss Haseltine, how
ever, was the only one hurt. and even
her injuries did not prove serious.
When the buggy upset the team turned
squarely to the right between the shops
running against the shop in the rear,
then turned to the left around the COR
ner of the large shop belonging to Har-
ris. leaping a rank of cordwood which
confronted them, at the same time
dragging the buggy after them. They
again turned to the left around the
same shop and ran directly east by
Whitman's residence to the eastern
part of town. thence north to the resi-.
dence of James Bartle, where they
ran through the fence and against the
house. The buggy was completely de-
molished, but little other damage was
done.

manufactured, but will say for the sake
of argument that men make use of only
eighty-six million solemn promises of
answering love and fidelity daily.
Now what becomes of them all? Just as
with the pins nobody knows what be-
comes Of them all. AS certain writer
said about the missing pins, no other
article is in such general use and with
none other is there such reckless ex-
travagance. This applies perfectly to
mems promises of love and fidelity.
do not suppose that these masculine
VOWS and promises are really worth as
much as the value of the lost pins, but
there are great many of us poor females
who place great deal Of Importance on
the aforesaid VOWS, and take them at
their face value, whereas there is big
discount on them.
So have answered the question with
another am going to keep my eye OF,
the newspapers, and when l come across
any thing that reflects on the female sex,
shall put some questions to the male
sex which they will not be in a hurry TO
answer, and which may eventually cure
them of wanting to know what becomes
