Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Merwaveze, March 20.—We have passed throngh a season of more than Lenten gloom, fitting the lugbrious weather of the past month, but, thank Heaven, the san shines once more this morning #2 it has not shone many slong aay, and the mad is gaily running down the gut- tars, the English sparrows are making holiday among .the newly-diecovered garden lots, the streets are fall of promenaders, and the ladies are projecting GRAND SCHEMES OF AMUSEMENT for the coming evenings of epring. The early part of Easter will be signalized with setartling and msqnificent series of entertainments, in which the society Indies of Milwaukeo will pose mlaseic garb on the stage before the admiring gaze of the multitude. ‘This series will be un- der the management of, and will be taken part in, by the eame eweet maidens and virtuous ma- trons who eharmed Milwaukee with their famous onstume entertainments of a year ago. It will ‘be under the supervision of Mr. G. B. Bartlett, of Concord, Maes., who possesses much of that rare talent which seems indigenous to that soil,— tho home of Emerson. Thoreau, and Alcott,—and will be called Pantomime and Art Studies.” Tn order to carry out the idea with the greater puceese, Mr. Bartlett wall be here next Thursday, and will eelect from our fairest girls and dames those most fitted for the | differ- ent paris to be sustained. These ladies will then he taught the poses, snd so forth, that they are to charm us with, and recoive instruc. tion ax to the drapery they are to procure. | course, no expenge will be spared in making thst drapery as enchanting a8 possible. Ar. Bartlett has been succosafal to a marvel where he ins supernntended such matters before. His skill and artistic taste cannot fail, in a city where beauty and grace are acknowledged to superabound, in presenting a most brilliant serios of statuary representations, mato playe, and sll that these names seem to indicate. The representations Will take place at the Academy at x date to be named hereafter. ‘An equally meteoric event will be ‘THE Cl HARITY BALL, atthe Newhall House, on the Sist inst. The Soung Indies cf4hbo Mission Band, an organiza- tion of sweet ‘of every nationality and every strictly exclusive in eversthing tut charity, the yrecious daughters of lnxarious ‘homes, are the getters-up of this affair. It is to be perfectly gilt-edge, of course. Every man worthy the name will see to it that his wife and Maughtera are present with all the dia- monds, pearls, ophirs, sapphires, cameos, old, silks, lace, feathers, and so forth, Gey ean reasonably be expected to carry. Over eight hundred invitations will be issued, and every person not declining will hand the manag- ere $5 per bead. ‘The Tytus (private) ball was probably one of the ms.< gorgeous ever seen in this city up tothe present spring. The charity ball of the spring of 1875 witl unquestionably surpass it. The: reporter hears of one lady alone whose diamond-trimmed dress will represent a money value of €20,000. Tho $5-ticket will ad- mut gentleman and lady. Where there is more than one lady in the party, felicity may be pur- thased at the rate of 62 per extra capita. THE SHADOW CLUB gave one of its brilliant’parties st the residence BY W. O. Conway, Sixth street, yesterday even- ing. ‘The music was furnished by Truemer. ise scene was fairslike, and the golden hours were chased away with shadowy fect. ‘Mir. Akerly Townsend was married to Miss E. ©. Crugom, Wednesday, at Mr. Townsend's resi- donee. ‘The affair was quite private. The happy souple are on their honeymoon trip. Every one wishes them joy and prosperty. ‘THE COMIXG RACE. ‘The public schools havo been brought into inence the past week by two excellent con- serta given by the schoo! children, at the Acad- smy of Music, under the supervision of Prof. Priem, their teacher ; and by the public exam- ination of the stadents of the High School. . Of the former, it is only necessary to state that it was an exbibition of excellence, and made hun- Sreds of fond. parents’ hearts swell with pride. The latter was still more inter. esting. The students are composed of pupils who are sapposod to have attained an or- Rinary education in the ward school, and aré ponsequently the pick and flower of our youth— both eexes. Their studies during tho past term ‘sere : The Science of Education (that is to say, the meaning of the term Education, its history and uses, and how best to impart it to others), French, German, Latin, pliysical goography. physics, normal’ composition, algebra, normal reometry, Virgil, astronomy, arithmetic, academic eometry, rhetoric, civil government, audacadem- E composition. It will bo seen that such s course af studies, pursued by superior minds that have turmounted the dradgery of the public schools, must produce excellent results. It docs. There je not a nobler, more intellectual, a more bhonghful ret of young poople in the North- west than those of the High School. They are poamopolitan, ‘They sro taught independence pf character. Music becomes part of their ex- Istence. ‘They learn to love their studies. They i tics. The High School, under rincipal Winchell, Mies Stewart, Miss Nort! ft Peckham, Mr. Spinney, Mr. Barstoal, an .

Holzbauer’s pastorate of St. Joseph's Church. ‘The father was presented with s num- ber of costly gifts. ‘ ‘THE DEFEATED NOMINEE FOR BISHOP. Dr. De Koven frequently rons up to this city trom Racine College and gives us & little lec Yare, or occupies the pulpit at the Cathedral, And, as his most trusted advisers live here, wo are not without rumors as to his intentions re- ypecting the future. “There isno doubt he will iecline any offer to leave bis independent posi- Sion as Warden of the College, except for s Bishop's mitre. Ho always expected to be reject- ea by the Standing Committecs, although most jenda were confident of his election when be was nominated by Illinois. He fancies his position on Eucharistic adoration, sacramental sonfession, the invocation of saints, and prayers for the dead is not underatood by the ‘Stan ing Committees, and his frionds bezin to think bs ought to be «justified to those bodies by a public statement defining what ho veally -does teach, practice, and believe, not what Dr. Thompson, editor of the Church Journal, wishes them to think. The Doctor believes in Sriritual, not carnal, presence of the Lord in the bread and wine; in voluntary confidings, not compuleors ‘confession ; in invo- cation of tho saints according to the prayer book. not the Romish Church; in prayers for the dead, am Isid down by the Church, not in Purgatory. These bebefs are not contrary to those of a sound Churchman. But the Doctor's upcnents eay they want Bishops of the severest implicity of character and faith, and De.Koven “ts not one of them. ‘4 60B FOR THE WINTER. - A few more winters like that just passing eway, and Wisconsin might as well be abandou- rdtothe wild beasts to bea breeding or trsp- pitg ground, or confined tothe uses of asam- mer-resort. Hundreds of large settlements have been blockaded wholly or in greater part for wonths, traveling in many well-settled sections ds almost a steer’ of im iit conneciions, bas not taken enough moncy to pay current expenses. ‘The winter has been the worst, m some — respects, within the memory of man. The trains run for miles through solid walls of ice and snow, cut and blnsted with infinite difficulty and danger, and kept clear at enormous e=pense. We hear Gnily of instances where travelers bave been six, seven, eight, ten days making trips of 100 miles. Wisconsin has for days together been a vast im- passable wilderness. Lucky for us, we have plenty of wood and water, ‘acd fat beasts to kill, and has, and straw, and wheat, avd coro in the granges in abundance. Otherwiea it hed gone fard’ in the far-away sottlements, And now the snow is melting, and the festive mud is fying, sod the gutters are singing ‘and, in s few weeks, we sball bask in the grate- ful euolight, and wonder at the swarms of sun- peorehed tourists -panting their way to our cool and breezy wood, and pleasant water-courses. ‘THE aTTEMPTED DMVEACHMENT OF A JUDGE. ‘The attempted impeachment of Judge Small, of the Circuit Court, for corrupt practices, ap- ared ended with the extraordinary order of = [epislatare only prevented by the inquiry from breaking’ up and going home, to burn both tho majority minority reports, and thé evidence that had — been gathered at so much expense, and with 0 much labor, before they were read. ‘The News came out withastatement declaring that al- though a minority report had beon talked about, it had not been resolved upon, and such was, the general belief.

Despite tho discouraging conditions of the weather—there it goes again!—s numerically fair audience was present st the spelling-match atthe M. B. Church on Thursday evening.

The warm weather has begun to thaw out Ellis Park. The man who has charge of it is thawing out also, and bas got his “posies” ready to plant, jast as goon as the ground is ina proper condition to receive them. Ellis Park Is known as having the finest and choicest flowers of any in this city, and it is expected that the floral display this summer will eclipse that of ast season. ‘The different social clubs that havé originated in Oakland during the past season will soon as- ume their spring garb, and lay their social mat- ters to rest until next winter. This season bas been one of great interest among the social peo- plo of Oakland. Init new ¢lnbs have origin- ated, old ones have been remodeled and reno- vated, and made to come up to the times. Prominent among the new clubs ia the Ellis Park\which meeta every other week in Carr’s Dancing Academy. The Forestville Club, which meets in the hall of the society, on the corner of Vincennes avenuo and Forty-fifth street; the Projocularum Club, cailed “ Projos,” which is composed wholly of young Isdies and gentlemen of a decidedly-refingd social taste,—the Club holds its meetings every alternate week, meeting at the residence of some member of the Club,— and lastly, the Club organized about a month ago, known as the Douglas House Spring Club, but its memtership is very small and solect, and ig not in a very promising condition. ¥ ‘The union of the Grace Presbyterian aud the Ninth Preabyterian Sabbath-schools took place last Sunday afternoon at Grace Church, on the corner of Oak and Vincennes avenues. Tho school is under the guidance of B. I’. Jacobs, who willcertainly infuse into it new life, and render it one of the largest snd best Sabbath- schools in Oakland. Prosident Blanchard, of Wheaton College, de- livered a lecture Tuesday ovening at the Baptist ‘Theological Seminary, in oppouition to Freo Masonry. Masonry must be a terrible ordeal to pase throngh, if it is aa bad sit is depicted by this renowned lecturer. His audience was @ very select one, composed mostly of University students. ‘Next Sunday evening (Easter Sunday) will occur the Easter concert, to be given in the Oakland M. E.

But, since some of them have re- coived letters from those who have gone before, who do not speak in such flowing terms as they did when they first went there, they havo wisely concluded to unpack and stay just where they are. Residents of this part of the city are still de- void of water, and have to recgive their daily supply from the street-aprinklers, which are em- ployed by the city. What has become of our literary societies? Have they taken a brief respite for tho spring season, or is the supply of literary talent run out ? ‘The Hallelujah Band of colored vocalists gaye a concert in the Bf. E.

La Porte, March 20.—The man Snell, arrested for arson a few days ago, has in part admitted his guile, and now accuses several others of being accomplices in the work. The firat one impli- cated by him was L. Q. Orr, a farmer living » fow miles west of the city; but upon examina- tion it was found that there was nothing in the charge. Snell, probably thinking he:could clear himself by turning State’s evidence; thus falsely accused Orr, who isa man in comfortable cir- cumstances, and well liked by all who know him. Snell has now accused a man named Thomas Ormrod of assisting him in firing the building occupied by Snell as a farnituro store. The ex- amination showed evidence against him too strong to admit of his being discharged. He was held over to the Circuit Court, his bonds being placed at $1,000. Failing to give bail he was committed to jail. ‘ It is cartain that these fire-bugs will in a short time be stopped from their work of destructi AMUSEMENTS, ‘We have been blessed with entertainments of nearly every description the it week.
