as to the church in Polk tp., near which one of the members was pounded for making a speech

It was Allen's Creek, not Chapel Hill. Short speeches are now fashionable in that church, and everything moves on serenely. Wick's Bee Hive dry goods store has been dressed up in holiday attire, and the gentlemanly proprietor has been receiving crowds of visitorsin his establishment' i

While passing through Dunn & Co.'s wareroom, last Thursday, the attention of the Progress was directed to a pile of rabbits and fox squirrels. "Hello! where did so many rabbits come from?'

A great deal of sleigh riding
has been indulged in during the
past week by persons who had the
necessary cash or owned the equipments. There is doubtless a vast
deal of sport in sleigh riding the
principal objection to it however is that it usually ripens when the
weather is cold. There would be some comfort in sleigh riding if the weather was balmy and May-like.

of
ion that the week's instruction was one of the most profitable ever given to Monroe county teachers. The instructors were Dr. E. F. Brown, of Indianapolis, Pres.
Brown of the Valparaiso Normal, and Miss Kate Huron of the Danville Normal. These instructors gave exercises well prepared, new, practical, and adapted to confer great benefit upon their hearers. If all the schools of the county are not a little better after the teachers go back to their children from this week's conference, it will be because some of our teachers are too careless to deserve a place in the school room. Miss Kale Huron conducted two or three exercises every day, in Arithmetic, Language or Pedagogics.
She made a very forcible impression upon the minds of the teachers.
Her talks were invariably of practical use. It will not be considered only formal praise to say that there are very few women in Indiana, if any, who can talk and teach before an institute with such telling effect. Miss Huron gained a high place ra the estimation of Monroe county teachers. Mr. Bell of the Ind.School Jour nal was an attentive listener and a helper in the work. Ou Wednes
day he gave a strong talk to the;
teachers on "Thoughts and Ideas.' Mr. Bell is known to nearly every teacher in Indiana, He is welcome in a Monroe county Institute. His Journal ought to be in the hands of 100 of our teachers. Dr. E. F. Brown lectured in the Walnut St. Presbyterian Church on Wednesday evening on Alcohol i
