Mrwavkee, Wis, Sept. 11.—The Democratio- Liberal-Republican-Reform kitchen cabinet have bad their ssy, and nominsted themselves for re- election. They have thus committed one of the errors that drove 50 many from the Republican raoks two years ago, and made the Reform party of those days a possibility, namely, assumed to themselves the rights of the people, packed a convention, and gone through the farce of nom- inating a ticket composed of office-holders. I attended a number of the district cau- cuses held .to elect delegates to the Couvention, and know right well that they were in nearly cvery case packed, and that, where that was Dot so, the dark influence of Taslor was 80 overshadowing that none had the courage to resist it. Hopest citizeus who at- tended the ward caucnses, in the full persuasion that the oid times of undue iufinence had for- ever passed awsy, tell mo there mever was 50 mnch pressuro bronght to bear before as on this occasion, by the managers behind the scenes to elecs their men as delegates’ to this Conven- tion, and my own observation fally confirms this atatement. I can vouch for this : that in three distriets Ivisited, in cach case the cancus had met and adjourned, baving made its nominations long before the hour for which the Convention was called, being packed entirely by Taylor-men for that purpose. In other instances, the cxucus was called to. order promptly on iime, and the cut-and-dried business transactod inside of three minntes. 4 3EDE PARCE. It is well understood, a4 & general thing, that a caucus called for a cortain honr rarely gets to work till an hour later, unless there is some ob- Ject to be gained by such baste s I have de- scribed. Many irresolate people, blind in their new party faith, will swallow these proceedings, beckase they took place in the name of the party; others will vote the ticket bocause they will be watched and terrorized, and others be- cange they sre ignorant and follow where bold vitlains lead.- But the plodding, steady, ponder- ing tax-paying German, who bas won a home on the soil, and has an, interest in secing alairs well administered, is already working out tho problem of this new depacturo in reform. His slow recollection begins to recognize in it some- thing resembling the days when he left the ranks of the Republicans with indiznation and disgust. o is beginning to talk this thing up among his solid aod trusted neighbors and gossips. If. the Taylor wing had not taken extraordi- pary steps, the present Stats oflicers could not bave been renominated. Tme TRipoNe has al- ready publisted the fact that five of the most prominent Reformers in the State united in a public protest against the renomination of Taylor. ‘They did not scruple to call the honest, horny- handed, virtuons old Granger the very worst of names. They warped the party that the Taylor crowd was *‘a kitchen eabinet of low, tricky ad- venturers,” These men, for sears trusted lead- ers of the people of the same political faith, ‘must surely bave some influencs left. They are still the moath-piece of their constituents. They reflect » feeling that does exist. It caonot bo #aid that they epeak for themsalves alone. They are, every one, representative men, who tower above the common herd. It must be astrong feeling of indignation that moved them thus to imperil the snccess of their party, by exposing to the world its gaping wounda. The evident fact is, they prefer defeat, with all its conse- quences, to enduring for snother seasen the shame of Taylor's occupation of the gubernato- tial chair, HOW THE REPUPLICANS WERE DEFEATED. ‘When the Germans broke away from ihe Re- publicana, they had tbe Liquor bill passed by & TRepoblican Administration to revenge. The Whisky Ring was one with them: its material interests wers in jeojurdr, and the Milwaue ring alone subscribod $30,000 for s campaign ;:nn 0 beat the party that adopted the Graham w. > The railroad interest was smarting under tho refural of s Republican Governor to sign the Missiseippi (LaCrosse) Bridge bill, psesed by an obedient Legislature, and were bound by every intarest to beat bim and his party at 4he polls. They joined in with the Whisky Ring, making together the mast formidable campaign organi- zation ever seen in Wisconsin. . While all these elements ware combiniug to destroy temporarily the sway of the Republican party in tlus State, the Grange movement was gathering force, and nll parties easily united ons Gracger Governor for the head of the ticket, thua welding together the three great interests of the Btate,—whisky, railroads, farming, with their tributary ptreams. All this 18 past and forgotten. The Repubiican of Wisconsin seee its past errors, and is eartily ashamed of them. IF it ever gets into power sgainit will be with a loity desire to itgelf of its iniquities, and clear ita skirts from the mud that so long stained them. The ticket now beforo the people proves this. There isnotamsnon it whose record ie mot bright, plensant to contemplate, and full of pro=rise for tlie foture, Most of the leaders of the Republican desert- ers ‘who ‘planned and carried out the Baform movement, in conjunction with the ta, were - = DISAPPOINTED OFFICE-SEENERS, ‘whoss only merit wae a quick sppreciation of the discontents and opportunities of the occa- eion. In going over to the enemy’s camp, their motive was the hope of spoil. Did they get it ? In appearance they did, in reality they did not. On the Btate ticket there was eat show of Repuhlican names. It wasa cate of good faith with the people. The people elected them. Then camo the division of the spoils.

The police-record for only nineteen months shows that the child's father has deserted the family, and that the mother wag in the House of Corroction at the time the child was taken to the Poor Farm. The father and mother were arrested by the police daring the Bpecitiad time nearly & dozen times each, for drunkenness, for keoping disorderly house, and for vagrancy.

B TIE STATE FATR. Tf T have had littlo to sav about the State Fair, it isbecause tbere was uot much to be enthuslas- tic about, and not a little to condemn. The fact has baen panfuily apparent, this year more than ever bofore, that tho fair is a big advertising mediem, and not much more. Ite rideeming featare, that it gives tho farmer a chance to make holidsy, ia overbalanced by the fact that the farmer, for whose oncouragement a8 a pro- ducing extibitor it was matnly desigued, has almost censed to osbibit. The greater part of the finer grades of stock is shown by profeseion- aldealers,) rize-takers at every fairin the country, Single beasts arc often worth more money than the average Wisconsin farmer ever ia lus wildest dreams hoped to become possessed of. They Lelong to capitalists and assosiations of import- ers and persona who have foand it lucrative to import blooded stock and exhibit for prizes all over the country ; and to another class who ex- hibit for purposes of salo. : Thus, the fair of the day, in Wisconsin, from being a representation of homs produce, homs manufactores, home industry, howoe thrift, &nd home inventions, has become a vast advertising medium. In thut capecity we must learn to deal with it. Criticisms of such wares, products, and avitoals a3 are generally shown in our fairs, this yoar, are worth thoir weightin greenbacks to any respectable newepapar. . In poultry, the show was poor, a faflure. The Fine Aris Hall contained some few flue speci- mens that redeomed it from mediocrity, but, epeaking geunnuy, ‘was & mere photogr: gal- fery, with Yankee notions thrown in. 8 cat- tle and stock were main'y shown by professional importers, and men whose names can be fonnd all over the conutry. Agriculiural jmplements were of cour-einteresting to farmers, The fraits and flowers were good. The races won't bear looking into. ‘Che lager-besr stalls and such like places were more rumerous than ever. There was a falling of in attendancs, owing to the bad weather, toward the closs of the Fair, notwith- gtanding Thursdsy was proclaimed s public hali- dsy to heip 1t ont: and altogether I am not 8o ‘much in love with the business as some peopls pretend to be. SIALL OUR MILITARY FADE AWAY? The dashing and accomplished Colonel of the First Wisconsin militis, too, hos_pot neglected the opportunfiies presentsd by Fair weck, and the first glow or generosity that might justly bo anticipated on the part of the newly nominated Btato officers. A meoting of the milil.ar‘y State officars was called, to take place at tue Newhall Honse Thursday evening, to consider the ques- tion of the representation of our military at the Centennpial, and other purposes. Like the tail that wagged the dog, and the posteriptof a lady's letter, the other purposes contained the kernel of the business in hand. Col. Arnold, a8 commander of the First Regiment, not unnaturally desires to have an appropriation by the State, for military purpores, upon which his organization can make a reazsonable draft. There 13 some fund somewhere for the defenss of the State, or, at least, a popular euperstition to that effect exists, but if 80, where the mone; g0eB, or who are the happy mortals that absorl it, are matters of conjeccture. We have an Ad- Jutant-Genersl, who 18 atcachod to the Staff of his Excellency, and is the head of a Depart- ment that hath no existenco i reality, and there are forms and blanks, and headed letter paper, snd pigeon-holes, and clerks, and gold lsce, and men of military bearing, of fiarce mustachios, and boarse voices avidently accus- tomed to give the word of command amid the thunder of cannon on the gory field of the Fourth of July, and all the pomp and circam- stance of a war department hendquarters, with- out war affairs to administer. These cost some- thing. ‘The military companies get nothing. Col. Arnold wanted to havethe military otiicers of the State together, to talk over tho'claims o his regiment to s part of the. honors and emoluments now enjoyed by the figure-heads. ~ He would doubtlesa have gucceeded in pledging tha mecting to a resolu- tion cailing on the Legislature for an anpropria- tion, next winter, if he could onls have got enough officera in & room to have raised the nec- eseary stesm. Moat of the mlitaires, however, woere soaked throngh at the review of ths 160 militia of Wiscousin who had mustered that af- ternoon, to pleasa the eagle eve of and do honor to the ploughshare Govarnor, aud very few of them cared for business. A résolution was passed, recommending that the ten companies most proficient in dnill in this State bo equipped .and trausported to Philadelphis at the public exponse, and the meeting separated. —— KENOSHA. THE EARVEST. Special Gorrespordencsof The Chicago Tribuue. Eexosma, Wis., Sept. 1L.—A bountiful harvest has rewarded the farmer’s labor this sesson, notwithstanding the many freaks of the weather and his diems! forebodings. Large stacks of golden grain dot the landscape hare and there, refating most forcibly the idea that want or fam- ine can trouble the sons of - men when Nature has thus demonstrated her ability to provide tho s¢gtaff of life " in such sbundance. The yield of grain in this county has varied this season sc- cording to locality. Near the city and for saveral mules west the crop is unusually good: In the western partions of the county the wheat erop is not quite up to the mark, the average vield being about 15 or 13 bushels to the acre. Oats in some places have yielded 75 bushels per acre, while the general crop has been 50 bushels to the acre. Flsx has turned out well, and corn promises fair provided the' westher “continues favorable. -The gale of Saturday and Sandsy dud considerable.damago to haystacks and the the time of the accident jumped out, saving themselves from injury, but were very much frightened. Tate Forest will receive her quota of Kenosha young men for the coming school year, Horace Simmons, James Howe, Jacob Gottfredsen, end Willam Kelloge leaving here noxt Monday for ber classic shades. Miss Panline Voltz honored the anniversary of her birthday by giving a dancing party Monday evening. Some seventy young people met to- gether to do justice to the guod. fare and fine music, which last was furnished by Rilly Dick- haat's band. A phantom party was given at Mr. Fred Rob- insow’s Tuesday evening for the young people. The party was decidedly s pleasant one. . F. W. Lyman has been appointed by the Common Council to fill the vacancy in the Board of Education caused by the death of J, W. Webster. —— RACINE. THE STORY OF SUNDAY. Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tridune. Racrye, Wis,, Sopt. 11.—With last Sunday's TaBUNE came the worst wind-storm we have experienced for & long time. Just as dsy was breaking a strong, steady wind was blowing from the gouthwest, and 88 the sun rose above the horizon, the clonds, which had until then presented a dark, stormy look, assamed a pe- culiar yellowish tint, streaked with green. About 7 o'clock the wind died sway for quite an interval, until the silonce was almost painful. Away off to the westward could be heard s sound like the roar of a heavy rain on dry autumnsl leaves, while the atmosphers was dark us the clouds. About half-past 7 the hurricane struck the civy with terrific violonce; the mad wind was ladon with branches, boards, and all manner of debris. Chimneys were carried away from many bouses ; shiugles, bricks, and stooes wero rattling agaiust the buildings. rondering it wun- safe to venture out., Our industrious Tris- oNe -vendor had the temerity to try it, but just got as faras ** C-n-v-n-c-A-R-G-0 Tor—,” when boy and voice were lost in tho howl of the elemeonts. After the storm was over the youog Arsb was found among the lnmboer-piles near the Iake-shore, bemoaning his ill-luck io not having been ballaated with one or two copies of the Times, which would have defied the efforts of the wind to carry awsy. ‘The hot wind, as if from & faroace, blew in squally gusts for abont an hour, then moved slowly eastward over the lake like & dark cloud. With the exception of tho wreck of & dozen or 80 of chimnays, the littering of sidewalks and lawns with rubbish, the dam- nge was trifling, compared to what might nato- rally have been expected. The day developed into one of the warmest of the season, but to- wards night the atmosphera cooled, the clouds a1l pagsed nway, and the stars gemmed the sky gloriously. ORE OF IT. Dut itseemed as if the storm of the Sabbath morning was but the premonition of a ternble weok, At intervals, grest dark banks of clouds would cover the sky almost instantly, heavy showers of rain fell, accompanied by terrific tbunder and wind. On Wedueadsy, the convul- eions of the week seemed to culminate in a grand combat of tha elements through all the stretch of country between the Mississippi and the lake. The morning of that terrible night dawned inauapiciously, heavy showers kept con- stantly falling, the wind blew great guns, and the thunder, awsy off to the: westward, ;indicated that a great storm was raging in that direction. ‘When darkness gathered, the sky was 60 overcast with thick clouds that the moon imparted no light whatever. About half-past 9 the rain came down in pailsiul, deluging the streeta until each one presented the appearance of a miniature river. The lightning was 80 intense and tre- quent that migute objects were constantly dig- ceruible, and the crash and deep roll of the thunder was grand in the extrems, DAILBOAD LOSSES. The telegraph advised the Western Union Rail- road ofticials located here that great damage had been dons to life and Dmgsr'.y on the hne, near Beloit. Fortunately the Western Union escaped with only the loss of property, but the Chicago & Northwestern were more unfortunate, and ‘vaguo mesaages were being constantly received, estimating the loss of life sll the nay from five to twenty. The particulars of the wreck of ‘Western Union freight train No. 5, from Racine to Savanna, at Turile Creek bridge, between Darien aod Allen's Grove, were sansdbional jo the extreme. The tremendous rush of the freshet bad carriod away the trestle-work of the bridge, leaviug the road-bed apparently sound, until the hoavy train plunged headlopg into tha rushing torrent. Engme and cara wers piled in a promiscuous heap, until the strongth of the waters carried the %'“m part of the train down with the stroam. The fireman—a heroic felloy, as will ypresently appsar—gave a graphic de- scription of the terrible scone. The train was running schedale time, & sharp watch being kept by both engineer and fireman for dapger ahead, but the 1otense darkness of the night prevented objects being distinguished with cer- tainty beyond the contracted glare of the head- light. The rain came down in perfect torrents, the crash of the thunder was something awful, and tho incessant flashes of the lightning only lefc the darkness mora dense than before. Tho first intimation the poor fellows had of the catastrophie was their plunge into the seething waters, their faiot ery for heip being instanily drownedin the rageof the mad elements. It wasa ternble position, and & miraclo indeed that thoy escaped with ther lives. The engineer was bad- ly crusned with the falling timbers, and was in- stantly ewept down the siream along with the loaded and empty care, which floated and pjunged abou like toys. He managed, howaver, to seize some branches, where he hung, fain| i for help from sboat 1 o'clock . oy ok the size and current of the river rendoring a res cue sooner impossible, The fireman clung to a hridge epar and floated until he caught crosswise on two tracs, whero he would have becn perfectly safe until the waters subsided, but, fearing that other’ trains might guffer if not advised igfime, he managed to frce nimseli, and floated about two miles farther, until he could éffect landing, when he ran aud warned the agent at Allan's Grove. The wires were working badly, and it was a difficalt matter to get correct newi of the actual damage. MMr. D. A. Olin. Genoral Super- intendent, left on & special, filled with anxiety for_the eafety of his poor mea who had passed sach a night, Bat for the tnorough system and great care of the management, much mors dam- age might have resulted.

Thursday evening was a disestrous oue to ves- sol-owners. Duriog the past seasoo the ratesof { freipht bave beeu 50 low thay many of ths fibest sclhigouers on tho lake, owned hero, have been moored in the river patiently waiting for paying traflic, and our immunity from heavy wind- storms from tho east stuce last 8oring occasioned coutiderable neglect as to the proper protaction of the shipping proporty, in case of such r.storm as that of 1ast night. Almost every craft in tho harbor broke from the moorings, aud all were driving madly to and fro in strange confusion. alany lost spars* and riggiog., ~whilo o:ih- ers suffered moro seriodsly iu_having thoir ribs jammed and stovein. The J.I. Caso, ong of the largest and most beautiful vessels on tlie lake, broke loose, and pounded against the tan- nory building of J. K. Sherman & Co., doing lit- tle damage to the mazoificent schoonor, but al- most entirely demolishing the building. Masters and eailors were early at work trying to bring order out of chaoe, but little could bo accomplished until the storm bad subsided. SOCTAL ENTERTAINMENTS doring the past week have been rather dall. The party of Miss Lillie Bull, on the evening of Sept. 8, was a very plensaot affair, : The lawn-party of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Lewis on Thursdsy evening was chaaged to parlor recreations. The weather during the night was simply horrible, bat, in Bpite of the ** frowns of Providence,” the entertainment was one of the most enjoyablo of the season. The piano masio of the Misses Sherwsa and Doolittle was a de- lightful extubition of ouitivated tasto. The charades were amusing and entertsining in the extreme, and the chagrin of the Kenosba gentie- man at the way the class of which he was a mem- ber wag baffled, was ladicrous. Their most com- plicated words were solved by the **intellectnal hghts” of the north parlor with the utmost ease 'and abandoz, and when, with the aid of wore buried in the City Cemetery during the month of August.. The Health Ofticer reported: the abatement of many nuisances last month, but very many yet remain. The position of Health Officer in Elgin has become of danger #od almost certain physical disablement. A few years ago Maj. Renwick was a man of perfect physical development. He was appointed Health Oficer, hold the office ono or two years, and" now has a suit aganat the city for 310,000, claiming that s hole in the sidewalk became in- voived 1n his feet some way.

Special Correspondence of The Chiraco Tribune, ‘Waugeaay, Ill., Sept. 1L—Wednesdsy and Thursday evenings of this week we had the storm. It was terrible, On Wedneadsy night - there was heavy rain accompanied by oft-re- peated flashcs of lightning. Oo this evening the City Hotel barely escaped being consumed by fire. The electric bolt entered a chimney on the rear part of the building, and passed down- ward, breaking through the wall in ome of the bed-rooms on the upper floor. Fortunatsly no person occupied the room at the time. The course of the bolt would certainly have killed any person there. Asit was,thacarpet was torn from the floor, plaster from the wall, sod everything thrown promiscnouely about the room. The storm on Thursdsy night was even more disastrons in ita effects, especially an tho lake. The schooner Gazelle was unloadivg lumber at the pier. At sbont 9 o'clock tha storm became so furious that the Captain ordersd the moorings to bo cut, which was done, the vessel was then dashed with great force upon the shore about 2B rods south of the pier, twisting her Lull, and leaving ber a total wreck upon the beach. Mr. skey, the Captain and owoer, had his shounlder knocked out of joint whiwe endeavoring to save her. The vessel was uninsured. EORSZ-THIEY CAPTURED. James Murphy, formerly of this place, but now of Racine, called at Sumner’s livery stable &t Racino or Sunday last, and procured a horse and buggy which he said he would return in three hours.

He was taken back to Racine. SOCTAL PLEASTRES.

Special Corrcspondence of The Chicago Tribune, * Eram, IIL, Sept. 11.—A solemn vote of the people having decided the question of building more school-houses in the negative, despite the fact that 150 children upon the Eest-Side were thrown out, by lot, at the opening of schools, it haa become the duty of the Council to look shead - and provide for contingencles.

Laxe Forest, Sept. 11.—The return of teach- ers and pupils reminds us that autumn has come —the real beginning of & new year in this de- lighttul suburb. There are new faces among the teachers, and many new ones among pupils, —evidence of increasing popularity and prosper- ity of the educational institutions. Capt. and Mrs, Sabin, Profs. Fessenden and Porter, Miss Warne, and other teachers who had spent their vacation abroad, were at their posts ‘I'hursday at the opening of the Academy. The number of young gentlemen who have enterad to prepare for cotlege is double that of any pre- vious year, and more are coming. Prof. Babin deserves to be congratulated on hissncoess. The young ladicd are roturning, and on Wedneedsy poxt Ferry Hall will be opened. The collegiate department of the University. 95 has already been snnounced, will be opened on the 22d, with the Rev.

Farwell is at last comploted, and is being supplied with rare piants and flowera. AL PARK RIDGE, MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. The Rev. Mr. Strong, of Chicago, presohed in the hotel last Sabbath to the congregation con- nected with the Congregational Church. His subject was **Christian Oharacter,” upon which he discoursed ably and eloquently. This Socie- ty, which is now without & settled pastor, conld scarcely do better than to give Mr. Strong a call. By request, he repeated the same sermon in the Methodist Church in the evening, to the great satisfaction of all who heard Bim. Mr, Wright, of Desplaines, will preach to the same church thig afternoon at 8 o'clook. - The family of Mr. Newport have latterly been sorely afflictod with sickness. Mrs. Newport and #wo children have been seriously ill, but are now recovering, Mre. William Gravers is also quito sick. Her illness, thongh troublesome, is not of a serfous natore. Mr. 8. Chittendon expects soon to remove his family to Millington, Lll., where they intead to reside permanently. Mr, Aanchester, Mr.J. Keene, and Mr. H. Morehonse will leave soon for Millington to engage in the Enameling Works. Dr. Dan Newcomp will also remove to Millington next week. His removal will bea very serions loss to this community. For the last six years he has been the only physician practicing here, and has established an enviable professional reputation. He aud his excellent wife have also been acknowledged leaders in society and io the M. E. Chureh, of which they are both worthy members. It will be very diffi- cult to fill their vacant places. Dr. Newcomb is the general sgent of the Chicago Enameling Company, which has just entered into arrange- euts to establish extausive works at Millington, grd in which Company he is also heavily pecuni- arily interested. He will leava with the wishes of all his cld friends attending him tbat in his new voestion he may reap the fullest measurs of succeas and fortune. Mr. D.

Mr. Clark wishes to reside near the works, in the successof which he takes great interest, otherwise he would not_think of ‘leaving Park Ridge, and putting his place here in the market. r. Hawlay, an otd resident, was severely in- jured not long ago st his saw-mill in Michigan. A piece of board was thrown from the saw with great forco, striking him cn the arm, and inict- ing & severe wound. His many friends will be glad to learn that he is recovering, and abls to attend to business. b TIra Brown, of Chicago, during the past week gold to F. Dalton, of ftreatar, 11, s honse and lot on his subdivigion for 31,500. During the same time he disposed of fourteen lots to Chi- cago purchasers for $1,400. Thae picnic which was to have come off yester- day in the grove near the Despiaines, “some- where, was indefinitely postponed. The weather was 1cy enough to congeal even the warm biood of youth. The sun persistently kept himbelf hid bebind the clouds. Fires, shawle, and over- coats were much more sccaptable than the shady roves. Old Probabilities with a single dash of fih pen ruthlessly destroyed the hopes of weeks, and sadly and sorrowfully the young folks were compelled to forego their anticipat pleasure. They are looking forward to the warm, sun- shiny days of next year, when the fates will ba more propitious. * The King of France marched up the hill sod then marched down sgain.” The P.R. uet Club performed s similar daring feat Thursday afterncon, when they visited Narwood Park upon invitation of some of the crack players of that place to measure lances on the field of the mallet and balls, It was to be a trial of skill for the championship, and they were filled with high hope and earnest resplution to do and dare for the honor of their suburb, A thunder-storm was impending when they started, but no such wifling adverse circumstance conid dampen their ardor or calm ‘the fever of anticipated triumph, They geached the yendezvous safely and the contest began.

They returned drooping and bedraggled, like a parcel of half- drowned chickeps caught in the rain away from the sheltering wings of tho maternal pareat. Croquet partics and- picnics are now at & din count 1o Park Ridge, the young people, with singular unanimity, bhaving developed & sudden preference for indoor amusements. » Mr. John Krantz, of Evanston, i8 & guest of Fru{nk )Iml;i ); Mr. and Mre.

The repnirs made have greatly improved the interior appearance, and the newly-stained walls and ceilings look very ffesh and inviting. -The Rev. W. R. Henderson wll preach this moming and evening. ‘The ladies of the Lincoln Park Congregation- al Church will give & lawn party Thursday even- ing on the grounds of Mr. Georze Oberne, in *The Grove " at the intersection of Clark snd Frederick atreets. Refreshments may be bad at a moderats price, for the benctit of the Ladies’ Aid Society. Thisisa very plessant place at which to epend na evening, if the weathershould prove favorable. The schools have all begun the new academic g“ with a large attendaoce of scholars. The High School starts in with fine prospecta, hay- ing abont seventy pupils, balf of thesa belng in the regular courso, and as many more ip tho preparatory olasa. The languages aro fairly ap- gr‘echtod.‘ there being twenty-eight scholars in tin, four in Greek, twelve in French, and six in German. The preparatory clasa will become the lowest in the High School course next year, and, from that time onward, the preparatory department will be discontinued, the common schools furnishiog all necessary training. The corps of teachersis as follows:. A. F. Nightin- inla, A. M., Principal; Misses Cochrane and spinwall, Assistants; Mrs. Appleberg, Miss Helmuth, and Mr. H. T. Merrill, instructors in French, Germaun, and music, respectively. Mixs Aspinwall succeeds Miss Lord, who resigned at the closo of the last term. The Ravenswood Bchool has hinety-one schol- ars, and is peculiarly a home inatitution, being under the charze of thres young ladies of Ravenswood. Miss Jamet, formerly of the Lin- coln School in the city, has just baen appointed Principal, while Miss Banister has been ad- vanced from the lowest t0 the second room, Miss Barrows taking her vacated place. The school bids fair to prosper under the care of these 1adies, two of them having had considerable ex- perience in teaching. The Dummy-Road School is the oldest and largest in the town, having 190 pupils. This in- stitotion is presided over by Mies Tichenor, who, with her firat assistant. Miss Delano, has been there for years. Tho other teachers are new comers,—Migs Webber, who succeeds Miss Sitks, whose resignation on account of bad heslth was a source of rezet to ail. and Miss Cloane, who takes s new d/)artment. The bulld- ing has recently been w#slarged to meet the growth of the neighborhaod. The Diversy Avoone School has always been the most difficult of management in Lake View, baviog an unruly element among the large boys, which has worried teachers and directors not a little. The latter feel confident that they have now sccured a Principal who will rule here with dignity and_suecess. Miss Troendls brings £3 her new field much experience obtained while teaching in the city schools, and already prom- ises well for the future. - Her nssistants are the two Misses Hunter_and Afra. King. 7The echool bhias 165 scholars. It will thus be secn that Lake View has over 500 youog people in its schools, which is doing well for a town of 8,000 inhabit~ ants. The Kerfoot Gold Medsl, established at the close of last tarm, and awarded to Miss Madeline K.Le Moyne for. the best record in the High School. was prosented to that young lady Wednesday br Mr. L. D. Owen, on behalt of the Board of Trustees. It is a very handsome prize, and its yesrly successor will no doubt be atriven for by the young ladies with much eagerness. The obverse bears the inscription, +*Kerfoot Gold Aledsl, Lake View High Behool. Miss Madeline E. La Moyne.” On the revarse is engraved, ‘' Awarded for the highest avernge in neatness, punctuality, deport- ment, and scholarship.” There Bhould be one for the boys. Will not some one give them & chance ? The Trustoes have pre- sented the High-School with a handsome set fpf Chambers’ Encyclop@dia, bound in balf Turkey morroceo. This will form the nnaleus of & High- Behool Librarv. The wisdom of locsting the High-School where it is, is evinced by the fact that of tho seventy papils in attendance not one comen from Ravenawood, and only six from the district north of the building. More than half of them live south of Balmant avenne. An exodus of the young people who hmve outgrown the educational facilities offered them at home has begun. 1Mr. J. V. T.e Moyne sends twa soos ta Harvard as Junior and Sophomore ; two of Mr. J. B. Waller's daughters go to Mon- ticello, and & eon to the College of New Jarsey 88 a Freshman; Mr. S. B. Chase will have & niece at Joy Hall, N. J.; Mr. B. F. Shurtleft sends a son to Faribault, Ainn., to Shattuck School: a eon of Sheriff Bradley returus to the University at Evanston as a Junior: snd two sons.of Dr. Halsey to the University of Michigan as Junior and Freshman. Departures among some of the young Iadies are sléo whis- pered of, but a8 yet have not taken place. The * Hercules” dummy bas just received s new set of fire tubes.
