Nothing like it ever bef ore visited our city. A magnificent spectacular drama such as is produced in New York, Chicago and all our large cities, has never before viited Ann Arbor. It requires two cars to transport the scenery, costumes, and other properties of this immense aggregation. The labor of arranging and netting such a play is so great that they never play "one night ouly." Thoee wlio go the first night, go the second, and bring their friends with thom. Amongthe special features of the spectacular drama, 'The Black Dwarf," will be the grand Amazoniau maroh by a cavalcade of youug ladies richly costumed in nrmor of oriental spleudor, with lance, and heimet, shield, and banners, the ideal of beauty and military perfection.

The second number of the hih school Index, publiahed by members of the high fechool is before us. It contains severa! spicy editorials, and the locáis abound in wittlcisms. It ia a bright pamphlet to emenatefrom fhe high school, and should e liberally supported. Of the 18 pages eight pages are devoted to advertising. A certaiu city paper attempts to throw cold water on the enterprise, but some me in the Index gives the editor fits and ays: "This rcmarkable editor, who eeins to have quite a turn for novelty' specially in the UHe of prepositions, ar;icles and quotation marks, now proposes ;hat each ward school have an organ. Jthoughwe Bbonldhke to see our intersted friend accommodated, we fear that -he pupils of the ward schools are too much occupied in learning the elemcntry rules of grammar, such as the use of he preposition to assume the responsiility of publishing a paper. Moreover, we fear that even if the ward schools did sitalilifih jm nrffRTl .1 mwp tlipv itíínld !ail to suit the Ai-gns, aa there are bardly nough craiiks to turn so iiiany. Howver, we do tbink that it is a pitythat the ward school f '-om whioli the editor of the .rgtis graduated, did not publish a paj)cr. [ it had, he might miw be able to write orrect Enfjlish. We presume the word ■ank would apply to the Argus man.

They took ie look off with an ax, aud entering the oom, found Matie apparently dead, but n close inspection fonnd signa of life reïained. A physician was sent for, and Eter searching the house they found ïat a bottle of oil of vitriol kept on the ;op shelf of the cupboard had been dis;urbed, and from burned spots in the otliing and the bed, it is believed that ie took a dose of the acid. Her condiion was beyond medical assistance; she as conscious to the last. tíhe must lave been deranged, for her friends can link of no other cause for the rash act, nly that she seemed despondent on acjunt of her "littleness." ïhe funeral was held on Tuesday morning. The mother has the sympathy of the entire community.
