An attempt was made to bnrglarire Mil ler's hardware store on Sunday night. A little alter ten o'clock Capt. Miller discovered two men attempting to pry the door in the rear part of the room trom its fastenings. They had loosened the door and if let alone for a few minutes longer would have effected an entrance to the store room. Owing to the darkness of the night Captain Miller was ; unableto recognize either of the parties. Rev. J. F.

He was greatly attached to his daughter, and it Is thought her death was the cause of bis own demise. A circular issueil by the Passenger Ie- partmcnt of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road, dated January 1, 1880, announces that Mr. John W. Patton had that day been ap pointed Traveling Passenger Agent of that companv, with headquarters at Cumberland, Md., r-'cr E. E. Patton resigned. As an nounced several weeks ago, Mr. E. E. Tat ton has been made general agent of a west ern road, with headquarters at Chillicothe, Ohio. Last week several of the county papers published the announcement of the ap pointment of L. C. Colborn, Esq., as Com missioner to take testimony in the matter of the petition for the removal ot the school board of Shade township. The item was all right, with the exception that it was Paint instead of Shade township. Directors David S. Wagner and Levi Koontz, who were in attendance at the Teachers' Insti tute, say that not only the School Beard but the citizens generally puzzled their brains to know what reason a petition for the removal of the Shade School Board would urge. " Who presented such a peti tion to the Court ? What does it mean, any how V were the questions asked on all sides. The facts as presented to the Court by the petitioners are that a number of peo ple living at Hillsboro, Paint township, think they should have a school bouse at that point. The Directors of the township refused to build a bouse there, alleging that it is not needed. A petition was then pre sented to the Court asking that the present hoard be discharged and a new one appoint ed. We understand that Commissioner Col born will go to Taint for the purpose of tak ing testimony some time during the present month. The Shade board is all right; it is the scalps of the Paint board that are being hunted. The old Steam Mill building at the west end of Main street was discovered to be on fire at 2 . 0 a. m., of Wednesday last and within an hour and a half it was a smoul dering pile of ashes. The building was used as a grist mill for many years, but some years ago the machinery was taken out, since which time the front has been occupied as a store room, and the remainder a ware rooms; for tbe past year the front part cf the building bas beeu nsd by George W. Marsh as a beer bottling bouse. Mr. Harry Holderbaura bad rooms on tbe second story and J. B. Hoiderbaum and J. M. Holder- baum & Son's had the other part of the building packed with goods, among which were a car load of wagons, mowing mach ines, grain drills, plows, narrows, ana a general line of Agricultural Implements. Seven thousand pounds of sugar were stored on the second floor. Tbe traditional bull in a China shop docs not create greater terror than the cry of fire in Somerset, and within ten minutes of the time tbe first alarm was given, the streets were full of anxious, ex cited people. The Teachers' Institute being in session tie hotels and boarding bouses turned out a couple of hundred school teachers to swell the crowd. The fire en gine was promptly on hand, but there was nothing the crowd could do save keep tbe lire off the adjoining buildings. The loss is probably $&04. J. B. Holderbaum's loss f.V0, Insurance $2,VA. O. W. Marsh $1SOO; Insurance $KO0. Hoiderbaum A Sons , $1,000; Insurance $700. J. M. Hol- derliaum. building, $2,500 ; Insurance $1,000. The building had been fired a few months ago, but the fire was discovered before it bad gained much headway. There seems to be but little doubt that it was the work of an incendiary. A number of tbe parties w ho were first to reach the burning build ing say that the smell of coal oil was almost overpowering and certainly the dense smoke from such a dry structure indicated the of petroleum.

Throughout the counties of Somerset, Fa. Preston. W. Va. and Garrett, Md., inquiry is being made for Daniel Gaskill, a dashing and handsome young man, who made bis appearance at Oakland, Garrett county, not long ago and at once became a prime favor ite with the ladies. He represented himself to be a son of Justice Isaac Armstrong, of Fayette county. Pa., and, in addition to his penchant for women, was an admirer of fine borsas. Several good animals soon dis appeared, but no one thought of Gaskill in this connection, as he seemed to be devoting most of his attention to the ladies. Finally, on his hiring a buggy to drive to Bruceton W. Va., and not returning in the appointed time, a warrant was procured for his arrest, and the owner started to Bruceton. Gaskill was warned, and fled 'nto Somerset county, Pa. The officers who were after him found be had married three girls along the route tbey passed while hunting him. A few days ago he again turned up along the West Virginia state line with a horse and buggy he bad stolen in Somerset county, and was accompanied by a young eirl of 1 whom he had induced to leave her home and elope with him. The father of the girt, accompanied by eight of his friends, was but a few hours after Gaskill, and the latter abandoned tbe girl and buggy and escaped on horseback. Since then other reports of his crookedness have come in. Altoona Tribune. By the Wat. Did it strike those school Directors who voted against uniformity of text books, at the Directors' meeting on Wednesday afternoon, that, after all, the questions of uniformity and economy are very near akin. That in nothing else do you decrease the average cost by large pur chases as rapidly as in purchasing printed matter. That if enough spellers, say two or three hundred, to supply a township could be purchased at 20 cents each, that by buying enough to supply tbe schools of tb entire county they could be had at very much reduced rate per volume, and tbe re tail dealers still be allowed the same amount for handling the books t There has been a wonderful change in the appearance of the teachers that at tend the Institute. Their faces mm more intelligent, they are neater, tmav mer, nattier, and better dressed each. year. The girls wear tbeir store clothes, as if they were accustomed to and enjoyed them . and tbe hand-me-down and tailor made suits of the young men fit them and are put on, not hung on as if they were on pegs ? The argument of the Director who posed the purchase of school books by tie- townships for tbe reason that the achola and some of the parents, too, would havr nothingto read during the long vacation. Hi they did not own the text books and carry them home with them, should have beest met bv the argument "that in this dav oil cheap books and cheap newspapers, there was no family too poor to purchase one or the other for their amusement or instruc tion J Superintendent Weller is to be congratu lated on the success of the Teachers' Insti tute just closed. On all sidea it is admitted to have been the most successful Institute ever held in Somerset. He is particularly to be felicitated on his choice of Instructors and Lecturers. Professor Schaeffer and Philips have well earned reputations as In stitute workers, which they magnificently maintained in their talks during the week. Tbe evening entertainments were above the average, and the instruction in music by Prof. Excell a revelation. All in all it was a first class institute. The teachers enjoyed it, the multitude enjoyed it, and it exerted an influence for good that will be felt in the years to come. In the language of a distin guished jurist we "extend the hand of com pliment" to Prof. Weller. Proceedings of the Tsventysfiinth Annual Session of the Teacher' Institute. Ho ibs it. Pa..

Modern method of teaching English, by W. H. Cover, of Stoyestown. Dr. Schaeflar then gm a talk on "Lananaxe' from which we maka the following extract: In reading there an four element te be considered. and In the following order, 1st, the ear ; Zd, tne tonirne : 3d. the eve: 4th, the pen. This la also the order tn which we are trained. The oral two the child begins at borne, tbe next two at school. There Is a defect of the ear corresponding to the color-blindness of the eye. Only Ave per cent, ot Americana hare perfect ears. The imperfection of ear causes Imperfection of tongue, of pronun ciation. Teachers know from 30,000 to 40,000 words by the eye; that la, they anderstand so many whea they read, bat they only ase about 1.009 or I.auu. Webster in his grand speeches used only about 3,000 words. The vocabulary of a Pennsylvania ' Dutchman " contains only about 300 words. The new most also be nsed. The speUlnn of word! may be recognised by the eye, and yet the pnpil is not able to write them correctly. English should be learned by all of these four elements. There is no help derived from oar grammars In the formation of plurals In pronun ciation, or of the third person singular of the indicative present. Neither in the pronunciation of regular peat tense and past participles. Eren our dictionaries do not help us in these matters. When is to be sounded like a and 4 like It We write tub, plural tuba, but pronounce tuba. We write day, plnrml days, but pronounce das. We write rushed and pronounce rushr. We write hush and pronounce husht. There is also an in. terchange of consonant sounds, differing accord Ins; to location and nationality.

Holbert, 51 Instruction" Our National Banks." Dr. Philips said: Should we desire to start a Na tional Bank we would need5J,0OQcapitul. If we bad a population of 6,000 and over, we would need a capital of $100,000. We would then apply to the Government at Washing ton for a charter- This charter would run twenty years, and would have to be renew ed if we wished to continue longer. With our capital we would have to buy Govern ment bonds. The convenient thing to do would be to bny the bonds anywhere where we could easiest get them. These bonds we would take to Washington and the Govern ment would give us nine-tenths of their value in notes, which our President and cashier would sign. Thus our deposited $0,000 bonds would secure us $45,0 0 in bank notes. Our bank would be managed by a Board of Directors, not less than five, each of whom must own at least $1,000 stock. There must be an election of Directors every year, in January We would expect to make most of our money out of the deposits the people leave with us. The law requires only fifteen per cent, of the deposits to be kept on band. Experience proves this amount to be suffi cient. 8hould A check out a thousand dol lars to-day, B would most likely deposit a similsr amount. Notes on a broken National Bank are as good as if it were not broken. By an abol ished law they were formerly worth one tenth more. Tbey are secured by th bonds deposited at Washington. The five-dollar bills are most handled and therefore are often replaced by new issues. These new issues are of a different pattern, for the reason that tbey are oftenest coun terfeited, being less likely to be scrutinized on account of their smaller denomination. Every bank most leave five per cent, of its issue at Washington to redeem worn-out notes tbat may be sent there by another bank which has got hold of some of them. The Comptroller of Currency at Washing ton five times a year, at any time he sees fit. sends a bank examiner to inspect National Banks, and bis report is published in a prominent newspaper. The Comptroller, may at any time demand a sworn statement of tbe state of its business. Every stockholder is liable for as much more as bis stoca amounts to. The Government taxes other than Na tional Banks ten per cent, on all tbe money such. banks issue. This law is in its natnre I prohibitory it makes it too dear to issue wen money, Hence we have none. National Bank notes are not legal tender; Report. Teachers' ' tbat is, you are not obliged to take them in payment of debts. Greenbacks, that is, notes Ustied by the Government itself, are legal tender. They are payabln for taxes, though not payable for import duties or interest on tbe public debt. Banks are not allowed to loan more than 10 per cent, of their capital stock to one man. Beport Memory and Its Culture J. A Berkey. Instruction "Ounarienco,, Dr. N. C. Schaeffer. Fcipat Mokkiso Sxsaio. Institute convened at S 14. Devotional ex.-rciaes y Appleton Bash, Somerset. I infraction-Beading, by Dr. N. C. Sehacfler. The aim of reading is not calling words but get- tlna; tlmuirht from crlnted matter through the , eye. To prepare a lesson a child aheuid know how to master words. To master words the child (a) must acquire the knowing of words at sight (h) correct an easv pronunciation (c) meaning of words (d) uses or words (e) spelling of words. There is a vast difference between knowing the meaning of a word and kuowlng its uses. KaroKT or Cummittexs. Obitcaby.

Havlc; been called upon on tbe last day of the late Institute to make this report, I obtained leave to do so through the medium of the Press. My col leagues had already cone home, and 1 had neither consulted with them nor made a careful examination of the ex hibita. The bulk of them had been Tarnished by two prominent educators, and they pleased us well enough to make ue regret that there were so few schools represented. J. 31. Berkey, the abLj principal of tbe Vreina schools, deserves praise not only for the tine specimens of map-drawing by his pupils, and their written examinations on dif ferent branches, but for their arrangement. Each set was bound separately with the questions on that branch, making the examination of them both more interesting and satisfactory. Another collection was frcm the excellent private school at Meyersdale,taugr.t by J. D. Meese. I had looked it over once, but when I wished to examine it more carefully, I found that It hail been already removed. The specimens In drawing excelled in number ami variety, as was to be expected in a well organised school, whose pupils have heen longer In training. And here let me remark that the holiday season would Bot he the best for eur purpose, if the display were limited to the products of the first half of the school term. Whatwewant Is the belt work by pupils, for the tree must still be judged by its fruits. A s object lessons such displays will be valuable, not only lor the purpose of exciting emulation among teachers, but for their Influence on the general public The dull boy, who would otherwise be a plague and worry to his teacher, may be reclaimed at once If we can create in him a lively interest In anything per taining to the school work : then why should not directors ami parents be reclaimed in the same way.it need be? Show them the fair work of meir own ana lueir nexgunors cDiuiren. wim juur own collections made in other schools in previous years, and, my wont for it, you will make them open their eyes, which is always a hopeful sign. In conclusion, I will venture to predict that at the next Institute the display of school-work prepared by pupils will be a leading and interesting feat, ure, instead of a mere side-show. TOSEFH 3.
