The Normal school.

We had occasion to pay the Nor
NAL School a short informal call
Monday, and found President Boyd
and several of his teachers just in
from the State Teachers AssOcia-
ton held at Monroe during the
Christmas holidays, while a num-
Der of the pupils, who had spent
The holidays at home were just
back, all looking refreshed and
ready for business. Secretary
Fuqua was at his desk, and every
thing was humming as smoothly
as clock work, and with as
much regularity as if no recess
had been taken.
Col. Boyd and his able assist
ants make it very pleasant for visi-
tors, even though unexpected as
we were, and we fear they will be
troubled with us many times this
session. We witnessed the open
ing exercises Monday morning, and
noted the expression OF real pleas
ure with which President, teacher
and pupil, each performed his task,
while we know from personal ex-
animation of the curriculum that
these tasks would ordinarily be
considered heavy, on account of
the thOrougllnesS of the courses of
study. But this school under its
present management seems to have
a peculiar tact for getting good
work out of its students and
at the same time retaining their
warmest affections.
This State institution is a source
of pride to every Louisianian who
understands it.

We call the attention of our read
ers who live outside of Natchito-
ches parish, to the dad" of our
State Normal School, appearing in
this issue. We believe those who
live here understand and appreci-
ate its merits, but many of those
at a distance do not know the high
character OF the work being done,
and which can be done by no other
than this great State institution.
The school has not solicited these
personal illusions, but we make
tnem in the interest of the teach
ers of our State (having been a
poor one ourself), and in the inter
est of the general education of our
State, which must be shaped by
our teachers-poorly as they are,
but well, if they qualify as they
should, by course of Normal
training in this great educational
actor.

FROZE TO DEATH.
a Family of Five Freeze to Death In
Washington County.

A Family of Five Freeze to Death In
Washington County.
IRoNDALE, Mo-, February 19.-The
echoes of the great blizzard of Febru-
rary s, I and are just now being
heard from the far outlying wood
choppings" of Washington County.
From Beaufort Mountains, eight miles
southwest of this piece, comes the re-
port of a sad incident which happened
in that section. a wood-chopper, his
wife and three children were found
frozen to death. The place where the
bodies were found is an isolated wood
chopping, three miles from the nearest
farmer and five miles from any town.
The finding of the bodies was purely
accidental. James Rollins, young
farmer, was tracking deer, and while
passing through the clearing noticed
a small cabin, and being attracted to
it, pushed open the door and was
forms of five persons all still in death.
1t is supposed the summons came
while they slept, as all were under
cover and showed no signs of pain-or
a struggle. Rollins at ance notified
his neighbors, who made coffins and
buried the entire family on the
hillside. They may have been dead
two or three weeks, but it is probable
that they died on Friday night, Feb
ruary 8, when the thermometer regis
tered Is degrees below in this commu-
nifty.
The family came into Washington
County early last fall and at once
entered the chopping, where they have
remained ever since. On Saturday
the father would go to town to draw
his pay and purchase the supplies for
the following week. He always walked
the entire distance to town and home
again, carrying his provisions in
grain sack. He was unsociable and
never vouched any information in re-
gard to himself, except that his name
was John c. Warner.
