Tan NORMAX, SCHOOLS.—The Superin tendent of Schools of Meeker county, in a communication to the Litchfield Ledger, says: "Graduates from the Normal Schools are amongat our most successful teachers dur ing the present summer schools in this county. The success attained by these teachers ought to be inducement sufficient for many yonng teachers of our county to take a course in a good Normal 8chool." The testimony of educational men in favor of the Normal Sohools is entitled to, and reoeives from thinking people, much more consideration than does the faultfind ing of a few chronic grumblers who know practioally nothing at all abont these schools. The State has no institutions from whioh it is deriving so muoh present good, or whioh will have a more favorable influ ence en its future, than the Normal Schools and their popularity will inorease with eaoh succeeding year, as their bene fits are the better understood.

He was put in a cell, but one night getting into a crazy fit tore themattreBs to tatters, broke the bedstead, and smashed everything in the cell that was perishable. He got a match from a prisoner in the pas sage way, and attempted to set fire to the building, and threatened to kill the Depu ty. It was found necessary to put him in irons.

Her carrying capacity will be ninety tons, exclusive of machinery, or a total of 120 tons, though the bulk of the freight will be transported on barges.

Responded te by Jamee 'Colgrove, who recited a patriotic ode composed for the oooasion. The. Federal Constitution may it be preserved intact. .. Response by Dr. Fell, who hit hard at the disposition manifested by some of our legislators to be always tampering with the Constitution. The President of the United States. We take it for granted that Grant will be wise enough to grant favors only to the deserv ing. Response by Rev. C. F. Garvin, who pro fessed the utmost faith in our Chief Magis trate, and assured us that he would re ward only the virtuous, if he knew it. The Ladies. The hope of the nation, for to them we look to instruct our future statesmen. We conoede to them the right to construct our shirts, reconstruct our stockings, and cheer, console and comfort our constitutions. Response by W. D. Davis, who told a story about an old lady reconstructing his stockings, so they lasted a generation or two first new toeing and .heeling them, then putting on new lege, and then new feet, so that they wore astonishingly. He wound up by declaring *hat weary, troub led, disappointed man found comfort for hie constitution only »n the sooiety of lovely woman. Mr. John Conliff respond ed to Davis* response, by shouting "Bully for you old boy I Give ns your hand." And with some difficulty he threaded his way through the crowd to shake hands wiih the speaker, with whom he agreed so perfectly. The clergy of Clearwater may they be able to steer the Gospel ship past the Soyila of politics and the Charybdis of sec tarianism into the Clear water of pure and undented religion. Response by Rev. J. G. D. Stearns. The speaker thought that ministers had better not drink from the muddy pool of politics that when folks went to church, they did not expeot a tirade against this or that party, but religious instruction and logioal argument. He explained the mythology of those monsters so dreaded by ancient mar* mere, and closed with an allusion to the pure water of the River of Life. The orator of the day mar his shadow lengthen and his substance thioken. Response by Samuel Whiting, Jr., who thought it was expeoted of him to make a polite bow in reply, and he regretted ex* oeedingly that he had not had a week's no tice, so he could practice for the oooasion. After eome more musio by Howard's Band, and some martial music by the lifers and drummers, the crowd dispersed, to do their chores and. come back to the fire works, of which there was a fair display in the evening. The young folks, had a dance at C. S. Benson's that night, and tripped the light fantastic heel till "morn's genial influence'| warned them that it was time to milk the cows and get ready for breakfast. And so the day passed without aoloud. A temperance lecture was announced (one day last week) from the Rev. Mr. Hu bert, and there was quite a turn out. As a political tirade, the thing was a decided success, bnt as a temperance lecture it was an utter failure. The principal fact pre sented was, that he once made a powerful prayer at a "Democratic barbecue." He preferred to be ruled by temperanoe men, even if they were Democrats, than by a set of drunken Republicans. (Now isn't that extremely liberal f) He believed that the temperanoe men had, and would hold, the balanoe of power, and intimated that they would sit astride the fence in a conven ient position to fall into the arms of either party, as policy might diotate. (Whioh the same is extremely consistent.) From all aush "temperenee lectures" "Good Lord deliver us." LOGOS.

It was a day of picnics. The Baptist and Methodist Sabbath Sohool scholars, teaohers and some of the parents went over te Grand Lake. The boys say they had "a bully good time bnt the young ladies say ,»*0, it was oVlightful!" and I do not know which to believe. There was another pionlo at Mr. T. B. Stanley's, near Pearl Lake. It was a grand affair, for Mr. Stanley in his big-hearted liberal ity tried to make all the rest happy and all the rest endeavored to make him happy and the result was that every body happy while there and has been even since. The Pienioian Sooiety held their ninth an nual reunion at Cornelian Lake on Mr. 0. Farwell'e grounds. All I need say about the dinner is, that the ladies of the Pie nioian Society got it up. After dinner the Society was highly pleased and delight, fully entertained with songs, comical, sen timental and patriotic, from Miss Ada Dam, Miss Freeman, Mrs Eelley, Mr. J. Dean, Mr. P. Mockenhaupt, Mr. J. Dam, Mr. A. J. Frenoh and others while the or gan under the fingers of Miss Dam, two vio linsinthe hands ef Dr..8. F. Brown and Mr. Dean, and two guitars manipulated by F. Brown and P. Mookenhaupt, made the blood tingle in our veins and ns wish there was a good dancing floor near. The sail boat, "Dolly Yarden," oame up under com mand of her first mate, Joe. Elliot, and took.on board Captain F. Hamilton and thirty or forty Pionloians and made a short cruise around the lake. On Saturday evening Mr. D. W. Fowler, who was returning from St. Clond with a barrel of lime, a plow and lot of groceries in his wagon, let down the bars opening in to his field about half a mile from hia.home. thehorses walked through, bntbeing fright ened by something started off wildly to ward the house, over a rough road. Mr. Fowler's little son, who was in the wagon, screamed, whioh made matters worse. The lime was pitched out, and as the horses turned a oorner the wagon tipped up and ran several rods on two wheels, the box rubbing a pole fence, which kept it from going entirely over. After tearing things generally, the horses dashed up to the house, and running into a pile of lumber, old barrels, etc., fell down. The little boy oame out without a scratch, but it was a narrow escape. M. P. —Another correspondent, "Z. E. W.," writes concerning the pienio in Mr. Stan ley's grove. About sixty persons sat down to a table ladea with good things of ell kinds. After dinner the young folks had musio, swinging and boating, while the older people indulged In a "feast of reason etc." A A The ladies of the Baptist ohurch and So ciety of St. Cloud desire to express their grateful appreciation of the personal efforts and generous contributions of those who so kindly aided them in their late festival, and also of the liberal publio patronage, which added interest and insured success to the enterprise.
