The Clinton post office was burglarized last Saturday night. The last
mail bag which came in late and had
not been opened was cut open and its
contents overhauled.
The Ypsilanti opera house has at last
succeeded in organizing an orchestra.
For a long time they have been compelled to go to Ann Arbor or elsewhere
for music whenever a good play was
put on which was not profitable.
Hayden's flouring mill of Tecumseh
has been visited by burglars who blew
.open the safe and carried away S95 in
silver. Between some paper lying on
the bottom of the safe was §300 in bills,
this valuable pile was not discovered,
fortunately Mr. Hayden's loss is not as
great as it might bave been.
Frank Schaffer having borrowed a
revolver icfdefend himself from vicious
dogs while circulating papers attempted
to put a cartridge in the chamber but
it would not go so he took a stone to
drive it into place. The result was an
explosion and the ball lodged in his
hand and had to be cut out by Dr.
Conklin.—Manchester Enterprise.
Chicken thieves are makinglife weary
for the owners of poultry iu and around
Ypsilanti. The remedy is very simple:
Sit on tbe hen-coop all night witb a
shotgun, and bave your wife bring out
a warm lunch at midnight. See?—
Ann Arbor Argus.
Too much like curing tooth ache, by
filliug the mouth with cold water and
sitting on the stove till it boils.—Adrian Press.
The new Baptist Organ will be heard
at regular service for the first time
next Sunday, and some uu usually fine
music has been prepared by the choir,
which will number twenty-two voices,
under the leadership of C. Y. Smith.
In the morning they will sing. Buck's
Contate Domino in C. and "He Shall
Come Down like Rain.'" During evening service they will render Buck's
Jubilate Deo in Eb.—Ypsilanti Commercial.
When S. B. Colviu went outside a
few weeks ago he bad his eye on the
lookout for a dog to send back to his
fine lake ranch. Ho found just what
he wanted and sent it back. The
charges for transportation, according
to Mi*. Flint's figuring- are, Stage fare,
S3; keeping over night, 50 cents; paid
man for taking dog to ranch, S2: total,
So.50. This account is credited with
oue dead dog—drowned while crossing
Great Siuslaw bay.—Ex.
At a recent meeting of the Dexter
Literary Club, the question " Why
does tbe air appear blue, " was discussed without reaching a verdict. There
are various reasons. It may be caused
by a baby-cab in a dark hall at night,
about the time papa comes in from the
lodge; also it has been noticed to turn
sky-color at tbe tea table, on a husband
remarkiugto his wife that his mother's
biscuits possessed points of excellence,
which hers did not; and an Adrian college professor of great learning, last
summer created a beautiful atmospheric blue, by splitting wood under
the clothes line. ( The doctor did the
rest.) As to another branch of the
subject; " Is color inherent in objects,
or merely a quality of light?" our in-
clination is to agree with the late John
Jj. Sulivan who after finishing with
Corbet found color " inherent in the
object.""—Adrian Press.

The Superintendent of Foreign Mails
in his au uual report gives considerable
space to an accountof the establishment
of the new contract ocean mail service.
The following lines are in operation:
Kew York to Laguayra, New York to
Colon, San Francisco to Panama and
San Francisco to Hong Kong. The Department has paid for the assured regularity and increased speed of this
service from its commancemeut in February last to June 30. in excess of the
amount which would have been paid
for tbe same service at the allowance
of the full sea and United States inland
postage, as follows:
New York to Laguavra - S23.043.04
New York to Colon - - 12,383.72
Sau Francisco to Panama - 3S,061,15
San Francisco to Hong Kong - 8,610.94
On Saturday, December 3, was held
the fourth meeting of the association
under its present organization.
The representation from the town
schools and attendance from ;the districts, were testimony that the nature
of the work is of mutual interest to
both village and district teachers; the
opportunity of such a benefit is,in large
part, made available by reason of the
successful following of the state system
of grading for rural schools. Washtenaw no longer folds her hands in the
presence of the two state schools in our
Athens and Queen City of America,but,
with a fell swoop into the atmosphere
of experimental knowledge, she is now
firmly balanced over a commanding
view with 90 associated members at her
helm.
The meeting was called to .order at
10:30 a. m., by President Hall. By request, Secretary Walker read the report of last meeting in recapitulation.
Vacancies in the executive committee
in place of Professor Blodgett, of Manchester, and Professor Chisholm, of
Salem, were filled by Prof. George, of
the Normal, and Miss Jessie Doane, of
Dexter. In place of Mr. Lelaud, treasurer, resigned, Commissioner Cavan-
augh was chosen.
The paper on "Primary Teaching"'
by Miss Jessie Doane, of Dexter, presented in au interesting mairaer,devices
by which interest was awakened and
attention given by the little ones.
Word study from board, sand table,
kindergarten, songs, telling of stories,
and tbe doing of many little things
noticeable by, and helpful to children,
were made special features of helpfulness toward an interest in their work.
By varying work and instilling adesire
to add to the decoration of the room
materially aided in relieving the little ones of au often dreaded monotony.
Iu discussion of the paper, the question
of "what shall we do with beginners,"
was brought up and decided by giving
them board work.- seat work'in word
building,and reading at least four times
daily, together with varied parts of tbe
"gifts"" interspersed; although one of
our veteran members maintained a
present advantage of obedience and
discipline being taught through oblig-
iiigtheux to keep as still as when he was
a boy. In discussion of single or double
division under the same teacher, emphatic preference was given to the*
double division plan.
The paper on ''Language Teaching'*
by Miss Ella Murray, of Milan, was introduced by citing many odd and actual
experiences in improper expressions
which was the result of a lack of opportunity in hearing correct speech. That
accuracy derived from example is more
effective than a knowledge from books;
that criticism should bo based upon
everyday knowledge of common interest
aud oral expression, tnat this way will
be effective because assimilated by the
pupil. After listening to a well-rendered piano solo by Miss McDonald,
tho meeting adjourned until 1:30 p. m.
p. M. SESSION.
Singing by tbe Association.
The paper, "Study in Bones," by Miss
Nettie Storms, of Chelsea, was not as
dry as it might appear, for it not only
stood upright and had form but laid a
due stress upon mind qualities of virtue
under guise of phrenological prominences. The subject was preset! tsd in
story form of alternately rhyming couplers which fit into a due cadence of proportioned moral virtue in teaching.
The audience was then favored with
a guitar duet by Mr. Bogardus and Miss
Fleming, of Ypsilanti. A persistent
encore failed.
The question box is most*-appreciated
by those present and is often a most
valuable part of the meeting. Space
permits but brief reference to but few.
1. Monthly written examinations;
left to discretion of teachers; finals, to
test pupils having brilliant daily recitations.   *
2. Newspapers in schools, as the
Weeks Current by E. O. Vaille, Oak
Park, Chicago. A majority opinion
favored their introduction.
3. Algebra and Geometry in 8th
grade. Yes, now, but Algebra is the
better help to Arithmetic.
-i.   Whispering.    "It  takes a. Qrst-
class  manager and one of much- experience to permit whispering. '   "The
ideal school ought to permit^ whispering between classes anyway."*

based on certain rates per mile; six
additional contracts have been entered
into for this service. The lines from
New York to Antwerp and from New

new, hut the benefits of the new Postal

upon the action that may be taken in

6. Tardiness. "Make first work
most interesting.*'
A lecture was then given on "The
Art of Illustration" by Prof. George,
of the Normal. The lecture was introduced bv a character sketch from
Dickens "Oliver Twist," showing that
the tendency of expression in the human race is clothed in visible action or
compared in metaphor. To illustrate
a use of the latter tacit passages were
quoted from the Bible. Known elements in illustration should accompany
the thought. General statements
should be fortified by specific statements in illustration. That absorption
and assimilation are the essential elements of growth and in all illustrations
they should: 1st. Illume the subject
and not reflect on self. 2nd, Discourse
must not be too elaborate or effect is
lost.   3d, Simple and not complex.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Prof. George and those who assisted
with music. The association voted to
have the executive committee appoint
date of next meeting. The place was
decided by the association to be at Ypsilanti. Within a few weeks.the members of the association may look for
programme, names of members in the
association and date of next meeting.
