A telegram from Christiania, Norway, states that news of Professor
Andrée has just been brought from Spitzbergen.

The nature of the news is not given, but it has been brought by the crew
of a ship which was wrecked in the Arctic Seas, and who have just made
their way to Spitzbergen.

Spitzbergen is one of a group of islands in the Arctic Ocean to the
north of Sweden, and east of Greenland.

We may probably soon learn the fate of Andrée and his brave followers.

PRIZE CONTEST.


There were so many competitors in the prize contest recently closed that
it was impossible to decide who were the winners in time to announce
their names in last week's paper. The quotation was, "The Pen is
Mightier than the Sword," and Miss H.K. Peck, Crown Street, Meriden,
Conn., won the first prize, and Miss E. DuBois, Greenwich, Conn., the
second.

Watch for the new contest, which will begin in an early number.
