TIE senoo,. COMMITTEE MAN.

The Hillside school had begun it, fail
term. There was a new teacher-a young
lady. with a bright face and a pleasant
voice.
Now children, said the teacher one
day, II think the school committee man
may be here tomorrow or the next day
The children all promised TO behave well.
They did mol like to hear that he was
coming. He was very tall, very grave
and very strict and they were all afraid
of him.
The very next day this TALL. stern gem
tlcinan said to himself, II will visit the
Hillside school today
He went 70 the door: the wind was
sharp and chilly. :" he turned back and
said:
Wife. can YOU fell me where my over
coat is:''
'.Yes. il hangs in the barn chamber !:
il has been there all summer" she replied.
DR. BRAY ptit on his coat and walked
away 10 the -chGolhOuse.
The teacher placed IA chair for him on
the platform. Just a. he had asked the
first arithmetic class a puzzling question.
one Of the girls at the desks gave Il little
scream. MI the others nestled and iid-
gcted. looking rs il they would like 10
scream too.
The visitor turned aud looked al Them
very stcfnly indeed. The teacher touch
eel her hell and shook her head al them.
Please, teacher squcaked one little
voice. ''it was "A mouset'
Il hope We may have order in the
school room now said DIR. Bray, in his
deepest tones. And then he gave out his
question once more.
Pop. another mousc. This one ran over
to the hoy's side. and two or three Of the
boys saw where il came from. They
nudged each other. and clappcd their
hands over their mouths To keep from
laughing aloud.
The teacher touched her bell again, and
called: 'Silence." She felt very much
disturbed that her boys and girls should
act 80. But Is she glanced towards the
visitor 10 see how he took it. she was
obliged TO smile herself, fora third mouse
jumped ont Of the committee mans peck
ct and scampered away.
The boys laughed aloud now and the
girls were all in confusion.
br. Bray rose from his chair prepared
ia say something very severe indeed. TO
do this properly he put his hands in his
pockets. and out jumped the last poor,
frightened little mouse.
The doctors overcoat had hung so long
in the barn chamber that mother mouse
had made her snug nest in one Of the
pockets: and nov her little ones had all
come tn school with the visitor,
The visitor had broad smile on his
face now. II really must beg pardon,
he said, "for bringing II p0ekctful of mice
TO school
The teacher gave ten minutes recess
and il was n very merry une. Then the
scholars came 10 order and behaved very
well indeed hut they did not feel half
~ much afraid of DR.. Bray after that

About 100000 tons of ice stored
down on the nennebec river viii have
to be carried through the winter. Thus
endeth the story OF the lee famine OF
1870 -- Boston 5Farsuers
The above intelligence Is certainly a
matter Of news to the people of this
section. They will b. much surprised
to learn that there il still stored In the
ice houses along the kcnneeee an
amount OF the hozen product almost
cqualling the total crop on the Hudson
In the most favorable years. AZ mstter
Of fact the estimates 0f the ice still
remaining on this river have been
grossly exaggerated. There are today
less than 6o,o0o tons on this river
remaining unsold. II may be that IL will
be carried over, but somc Of the Oldest
and best informed ice mcn In this section
entertain different view of the matter
Their Judgment may be at fault. Men -
even Ice men--arc but human, but Just
at present they appear perfectly willing
to take their chances upon what the
