Twenty thousand people went to see Buffalo Bills cowboys tame wild horses in Rome yesterday. The officials, foreign ministers, and distinguished people, in 2.OOO carriages were present, in the rain. The wild horses came from the marshes of the Duke of Sermoneta, where there is a famous herd of horses and the duke declared that no cowboy on earth could ride one. He dared the cowboys to try one. The New York Herald's account says: Two of the wild horses were driven into the arena They had neither saddle nor bridle. Buffalo Bill announced that they would be conquered. In five min. utes the cowboys had lassoed, saddled, bridled and mounted the horses. The an. lmals leaped in the air, writhed, bucked and reared madly ali in vain. In five minutes thew were ridden easily around, while the vast crowd, unmindful of the rain, roared and shrieked with delight. Buffalo Bill now dares any Roman to ride his bucking bronchos.

 The winter term of school in the 18th (Poud) district, taught by Mir. A. l.. Ad- ans, closed last week. Every scholar was present, and there was the usual full at- tendance of visitors. This is one of the brightest and most advanced schools ill town of the same grade, and there is no district where the parents take more in- terest in school, and where the average at- tendance is better. The teacher is hearti- ly in sympathy with the state normal sys- tem of teaching. The blackboard is in al most constant use dur1ng school hours Text books are used as guides, helps and references, and the scholar is not crammed with dry words or impractic ,ble theories The examination of classes nj reading, arithmetic, geography, grammar, history aud physiology was cxcellent, and showed thoroughness and proficiency. Two topo- graphical maps, drawn the pr. ceding term by Masters O. Walton Aborn and Winford E. Slater, have been very useful in con- nection with the study of the geography of Connecticut. The order was perfect, and the declamations merited special pra,se We wish the school continued prosperity.
