LOCAL EVENTS. "I'll k Tousai)')" In CojiiNd Lincoln J. Carter's nu play, ''The ToniHiiu,' which pomes to Slilvcly'K opera limine lliin Friday aveninu in saiil tn bn a nov eltVi in every himiho of the word, iu which it appertain to a dramatic work When the curtain rises on the first act it reveals a handaome Butting of rustic surrounding. The old homestead, with its outiy ing buildings, its grand old trees its fragrant, shrubbery, all are swept away before the awful tornado which prevails. When the curtain rises on the second act, tlio full duck of a ship with every detail in its make-up complete is seen. Then comes the order to shorten sail and prepare for a blow,' and then a moment of expectancy and the granduur of the rigging scene U before their eyes Six old tars are-on the yardarm of a mist furling a monster sail forty feet ubove the deck, the wind cracking the canvas, the' lightning, blinding in its flashes. Another moment ot calm and the audience finds itself back on the deck again, only to experience the great collision scene Two ocean steamers come together at full speed ; and then the open-sea scene, with the waves run ning mountain high, toeing a man from crest to crest as though he were but a cork. Then come the street scenes in Chicago, the harbor at night, showing all the familiar buildings, the vast water front, the Randolph-street viaduct, etc followed quickly by the dissecting-room in a medical college, and another act of novelties has passed. The next one is up to the standard in comedy exc ellence and then the gorgeous autumnal beauty of the final act is shovn. Hallowe'en' on tub' West Sidb- Wss observed by the young people in the old fashioned manner, innocent jokes, moving gates, etc. No property was destroyed or damaged. The boys in addition to having fun also did that which entitles them to praise. There is an old lady who is very poor and at present confined to her home by sick riess. , Her wood pile had not been cut or prepared ' for use so Eddie' Jordan, Willie Silver and others took axe and saws and subdued that woodpile, free of charge to the lady. This is the same crowd of boys, who, a .tew Weeks before, carried water, hay, etc., to a poor old helpless horse that some older person turned out to starve after it was too Weak to make a living for itself and owner. That is what West Side boyi find pleasure in doing. '" A "Drier' Summer. J. M. Shelley of Salem save: "My father, with his 'amily of wife and six children, crossed the plains in 1848, and located his donation claim in September of that year on Pleasant Hill, Lane county. His first attempt at farming was in the spring of '49. when he broke up a small field and sowed wheat about the first of April. There was a nice shower im mediately after the seeding was done, which brought the grain up in fine condition, but there was not another drop of rain until November, so that he did not even get the seed back. Others, however, who were here prior to that time, and did their seeding , in the fall of '48, had good crops, notwithstanding that dry summer." MUSIC ALE.

The review work for the month of September showed a degree of thorough ness on the part of the pupils, most gratifying. The work is such in quan tity as to make it almost necessary for pupils of the higher grades to do home study. The average attendance for the month is very good and it is pleasing to know that, pupils have not remained away from school for triyial causes. Ia nearly every instance sickness has been given as a cause. The new encyclopedia (International) one of the best published' has arrived and is now in place and being used by the school. There is also a nucleus of a school library which we hope will grow to be large and useful, Too much at tention cannot be paid to the reading of children, not only to see that they read but also to be certain that what they read is of the proper kind. . As will be seen the number of lardies is much larger than it should be even if the school were three times its present size and in as much as most of the tardies are in the lower grade it indicats that parents rather than children are to be blamed. Wont you strive to change this for the month of November? We extend a cordial invitation to all to visit the school and see the school work and thus encourage the pupils by a show of interest. C. W.
