Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 30, 1883 An interesting and important document was read by General F. a. ROZIER before the Missouri Historical Society at their meeting in the Polytechnic of St. Louis, June 19. The paper embodies the history of the French dominion in North America from the time the daring fishermen of Brittany and Normandy landed at New Foundland in 1504 to ply their dangerous trade, until the surrender of Montreal to the English in 1700, and sets forth in glowing language the gallant deeds of the sons of sunny France. The document is remarkable for its historical profundity and elegance of style. The young knight of industry, Frank RYAN, who entered the parsonage in the German Settlement a couple of Sundays ago and stole a collection of curiious coins from Father PIGGE, was brought up before Judge THOMAS last Wednesday morning and, seeing no way out of his difficulty, plead guilty and was sentenced to two years in the pen. Sheriff NAUMAN, accompanied by his deputy, Chas. MEYER, took the culprit on board the Ste. Genevieve last Wednesday night to deliver him to the warden of the State prison at Jefferson City. The annual examination of the pupils of Ste. Genevieve Parochial School, Boys Intermediate and Primary Departments, was held on Wednesday last, during the forenoon. The boys were examined by their respective teachers, Sister Eusebius and Sister Walburga. The classes acquitted themselves very well in Christian Doctrine, Mental Arithmetic, Geography, U.S. History, Practical Arithmetic, Spelling, Reading and bookkeeping. In the First Class, Masters Freddie LaGRAVE and Frank BAUM answered creditably. Their bookkeeping blanks were very neatly and accurately written. Next in point of merit in the Intermediate Class were Masters Willie GUIGNON and Eddie MOREAU. In Sister Walburga's room the best pupils were Masters Frank WHITLOCK, Edwin GUIGNON, Leon VORST, Willie BOVERIE, Willie GEILER and Antoine BELTRAMI.
