No. 1 last Friday was the occasion of some very pleasant surprises, in which the pupils reversed the usual order attending such exercises. On Thurs day evening, at the close of the day's session, it was evident that there was "a, screw loose" some where, but the most careful inquiries failed to reveal the secret. Howev er, the solution was made very tan gible the next day at Ihe afternoon recess. The Principal being absent from the room a few minutes, found upon his return, his desk loaded down with different articles, pre sented by the pupils as testimonials of their esteem: a fine silver fruit knife was lying menacingly open on top a dish of splendid fruit; there was also a crystal paper-weight en closing a thermometer; book-marks and paper-holders wrought deftly and tastefully iu the finest needle work. In tho Intermediate Department the teacher was the recipient of a silver butter-knife, au expression of regard from her pupils ; an album from the High School, and many other articles from individual pu pils. The teacher of the Primary De partment received a large book by one of the standard authors, from the pupils of the High School, and a perfect deluge of tokens from her own pupils, which cannot be here enumerated for want of space. So adroitly had the whole affair been managed that the teachers were taken entirely by surprise. General permission was given, and all the rooms visited, by teachers and pu pils, to view the long array of pres ents. After recess all the schools were brought together iu tho High School room, to hear the answers to the weekly question -box. The teachers then made remarks, thank ing the pupils heartily for their handsome presents; after which the session was brought to a formal close by the Principal, and teachers and pupils went to their homes with pleasant memories of the past, and happy auguries for the future. The teachers in Dist. No. 1, so far as we have been able to learn, have given universal satisfaction, and wn might as well remark here that there is no class of workers who deserve better pay and more honors than the faithful, efficient teacher of children. Marshall, Jr., sou of Marshall Smith, met with a serious accident on Mondiy last while at play iu the yard of R. II. Henry. In attempt ing to climb the fence, and while on the top board, he lost his hallance and pitched head foremost to the ground, breaking his arm between the elbow and wrist. The little fel low bore himself bravely under the surgical treatment and was able to take his breakfast at the table on Tucsdav mondav. Royal Arcanum, Mystic Coun cil, l'0.

Coffin of this county, a very gentlemanly and well-mcanittg man, pretty nearly got into trouble at Norfolk, just because he felt jubi lant over the result of the raflrond election here, and endeavored to communicate the good feeling to a Madison county man who was sore over the defeat of the U.

This time it is precinct bonds to the amount of ten jter cent, of the assessed valua tion, which will be about one-half that of the whole county, or a bout twenty-six thousand dollars in bonds.

The Argus, in a well-considered article on the immediate prospects for a railroad, says : 'But the U. P. is not the only road looking wistfully towards our well filled granaries, and broad pastures teeming with stock. The L. Sc N. has reached Columbus, or nt least secured a route to that place, and now the great question of the hour is, where will they go? The B. & M. road is on the move, and many think they too will eventually stretch out toward us, for the valley of the Beaver is a natural railroad bed, and the cost of building a road here, would he but the merest trifle, in comparison to that of other routes. One thing is certain, Boone county wants a railroad, and will offer reasonable inducements to the right road, for she is not yet quite so in sane, as to adopt the suicidal policy of her sister county, Madison."
