' . Mr. Niles, said that the female teachers re ceived Bl2’per month In his district, and the miles 816.

The people were taxed to the utmost now j and if any greater burden were laid on them thov,would tebelf Mr. Ruler presumed that the Institute could not affect this question to any great extent.— If females were ns well qualified, they should receive equal pay with males. Were they as well qualified 1 He could not say . The contrary was alleged. He knewihut custom decreed (ha l female labor should receive less than male labor, oven in the same department., and us well performed. The world could not be reformed in a dsv. Miss Rockwell, said that the negative of the resolution seemed lo her self-evident. Mrs. Remolds, said she knew of n woman, now teaching in this county at 82,50 per week, of whom the Superintendent had often said that “she governed her school belter than any male teacher in the county.” Mr. Jackson, moved to strike out the word “female” in the resolution. Objected to. ! M. H. Cobb said, if wages were to be pro portioned in the ratio of physical ability, then the worthy President pro tem % would be worth about twice as much per month as some gen tlemen who had employed this argument. — He thought tact la be of greater importance ihm physical strength. If it was desired to degrade labor, It could not be done better than by making it unprofitable, and by saddling u wi'h false distinction*. So much compen sation for so much labor, was the proper rule. Mr. VVildman, said that female teachers did not receive enough wages. As a rule, their wages were reduced to the lowest bear able ebb. Woman paid os much fare on Mages and railroads ; as much for board, for dress and education, as mun ; therefore let her receive as much for her labor and time. In the South she received as much per an num as man, generally. It was customary there to pay for labor without regard to the sex of the laborer. By elevating the stand nrd of wages, the profession would be eleva ted. He would b© glad to hear from the other side of the house, though it was a plea sure to speak in their behalf. Mr. Spencer, thought it a proper ques f ion for the consideration of the Institute. Teach ers must protect themselves, and the direct ors should not be sole judges in the matter. He had known good male teachers to be dropped at the close of the winter term be cause equally as good female teachers could be hired at two or three dollars per month, less. Mr. Walbridge, held that equal lad, labor and skill, should command equal compensa tion without regard to sex. Superior skill should command superior compensation.— Why was it that females did not demand bel ter compensation ? He thought it because ihny could not get it under present customs. The resolution was rejected. Afternoon Session. J. Walbridce in the Chair. Voluntary Exercises. —Parsing and dissertations upon the various relniions and properties of words, in which Dr. Pratt, Messrs. VVildman. Spencer and others took part. The best method of teaching the primary branches was taken up nnd discussed at length by Messrs Bacon, Williams, Fruit, Niles and others. The ladies also pul some pertinent questions lo brothers. Mr. [i. N. Williams explained his mode of teaching reading by words, in a very inter esting manner. Dr. Frail added some perti. item remarks. The Committee on Resolutions asked leave lo report, which was granted. The resolu tions were taken up seriatim, and adopted with some slight amendments. TFAereas, we, teachers of Tioga Co., be ing desirous of becoming more intimately acquain'ed with the duties of our profession, and for the purpose of elevating the standard of public schools and extending nn opportu nity for an education to every one, do offer the following resolutions; 1. Resolved* Th u our faith in the efficien cy of Teacher’s Institutes has increased. 2. That we regard the County Superin tendency of the utmost importance to the safety and perpetuity of our Common School system. 3. That we deem the visiting of each oth er’s schools, by teachers, in connection with town Institutes, an admirable means of im proving ourselves ns teachers. 4.

TJie advent of June was rendered peculiarly beau liful by contrast with the mdnth of drenching reins which preceded it. Tuesday was a magnificent day. Forest and field almost visibly bloomed under its quickening sun. Our village is donning its sum mer attire, and the stranger, passing through the town just now, will remember WcHsboro as one re members the half real experiences of the waking dreams of childhood. The Stale Episcopal Convention assembled in Philadelphia on the 251 h nit. The Annual Sermon, delivered by Rev. Augustus A. Marple, of this bor ough, we sec highly spoken of in the city papers. The text was from 1. Tilnotby, iv:-10: “There fore we labor.’* Rev. Drs. Vinton (Low Church) and Bowman (High Church) were nominated for the office of As sistant Bishop. A close and prolonged contest en sued, resulting, qftcr many ballotlngs, in the elec tion of Dr. Bowman. Drowned!—Two little children, a son and daugh ter of Mr. Ives, residing in the neighborhood of Bennett's Mills, Middtebury, were drowned on Sat urday, 291!i ult., at about noon. It appears, from the best information wc can gather, that ihe little ones attempted to cross a small stream much swol len by the rains and, os it is conjectured, becoming terrified fell in. The crossing was by a single plank. The bodies were recovered by the sorrowing parents about 30 minutes after the children were missed from the house. They were buried on Monday, i, Owing to the prolonged illness of Judge White there will he no Jury Court this Term. Grand and Traverse Jurors are notified not to attend, in anoth er part of this paper. Judge W., was attacked with inflammatory rheumatism nearly nine weeks since, convalescing and suffering a relapse in the meantime* His health is fur from sound even at this time, and it was not thought advisable io per mit Jurors, parlies and witnesses to assemble here upon manifest uncertainties touching Judge White's ability to appear in his place. A probably needless expense to individuals and to the county is thus avoided. Counterfeit Coin.—Last Saturday afternoon, a man named Campbell entered the store of Mr. R. S. Bailey in this village, and put off a bogus gold dob lar in payment for some article. The cheat was delected soon alter his departure and a warrant was placed in (he hands of Confine Smith who imme diately started in pursuit. A watchfnl chase of sev eral miles without finding traces of the gentleman suggested to the pursuing party that the quarry had been passed somewhere on the road. Taking the back (rack the game was found domiciled within a stone’s cast of the borough limits. He was taken before Justice Emery, who succeeded in finding a quantity ol bogus coin in the fellow’s boot, and after the proper examination, held him to answer in the proper U. S. Court. Ho is now in jail. We learn that several others were in company with him du. ring Saturday, so look out. The coin is poorly done and may be delected by its lightness. Our friend of Ihc Montrose Republican falls into a very grave error in the first paragraph of the lead ing article in that paper of the 20lb ull. The arti cle displays not only ability, but candor, born of a clear conviction of duly ; but he errs in saying that the withdrawal of the Douglas democrats from the Administration party has necessarily caused (ho fu ture existence of the Republican party lo bo called in question, because the principles of the Douglas parly are “ nearly identical with our own J” This last declaration is grievously mistaken. The Doug lisilcs stand where the entire Shamocracy stood in *54-5-6-7—asserting now, as then, that Freedom and Slavery^'are co-heirs lo the common domain He cannot have forgotten that opposition to that dangerous doctrine gave the Republican party what ever of prestige and vitality it now possesses. Op position to the spread of Slavery has been the rally ing-cry from the first up lo this day. If, then, the principles of the two onti-Administration parties may be claimed as identical now, the like claim might have been set up lor the entire democratic parly at any time during the four years of struggle lust past. We do not agree with him that flic principle of Slavery U< slriclion is an abstract principle. It is both practical and practicable. Hoovers the entire ground which the party has proposed or proposes to occupy. It provides for just such emergencies as this now present by avoidance. It demands not on ly that Kansas shad be free, but for every tool of territory that is, or may be ours, it demands freedom. It would render Dred Scott Case Decisions of none effect by removiog the inducing cause. The man who should begin to cleanse a foul stream half-a mile from its fountain head, would not be called a very profound philosopher; yet the proposed policy of the party ends just there. Because the powers that be have established just the evils we have from the first exclaimed against, why, we are urged to drop our objections to the evil end set about doctor ing the effect. Good friends, we conceive it to be the duty of the Republican Press so to mould pub lic sentiment that the admission of another Slave Stale into this Union shall be an impossible thing to do. It is not wisdom to stand wrangling about what Mr. Buchanan proposes to do, or Douglas pro. poses to hinder him from doing, but let us continue objecting to the extension of slavery under whatev er circumstances the question may now, or hereafter arise. Therefore we maintain, in opposition to our co temporary, that the prime question still is as it has been, may slavery rightfully go into the territories ? and not that secondary question which arises after the wrong is done —may the people of a Territory establish their own organic laws ? But, our cotem. pbrary will say, slavery >s there already—how shall lbs people gti quit of U T Wa answsr, if slavery ..THE TIOGA, COUJiTY AG ITATO-IL : he in Kansas it is there* by and ior defiance of a Jaw pissed at the 7 last aessiolljir its Legislature.

We deny that the day for the-acquisition of new territory has gone by; and we deny that there are.any new question's before the people to be die* cussed. That Cuba is in the list of future acqtiisi. lions is patent. That, Mexico, distracted by intes tine wars, is foredoomed to'find a political grave in the insatiable maw of this Republic, is just as ap. parent. Tims, this question of slavery 1 extension will confront us at every step of our territorial pro. gross. There ieno escape from this question out of the door of Popular Sovereignty. It Is urged that the Missouri Compromise consigned certain lerrilo rice to inevitable slavery. Admit U; but Popular Sovereignly endangers not only a part, but «R~ct ery acre of the public domain; and not only this, but the parly which writes that lying motto upon its banner must accept States us they present them, selves, with pro-slavery Constitutions as well as with free. It may be convenient for our cotemporariea to take their position upon that principle. We can. not hope to convince them against the counter pica, dings of that syren, Expediency ; but one tiring we do say, and, while we do not claim to be a prophet, ask our brethren to remember: You will regret it to your dying day. “Ye cannot serve God and Mammon !** Platforms may be, as many declare, the creatures of a day ; but if the platforms of JB4O were useless in 1848, it dues not fotiow that the platforms of *56 must be foreign and useless in 1660, That is not logic. The question of Free Soil came before the people in 1848, whereas, the Tariff and Internal Improvement questions ruled in 1840. Bui the is. sue of Slavery extension ruled in 1856, rules now, will rule in 1860 and lor the next 25 years, in our judgment. Nur can just comparisun be institu ted between the questions at issue eighteen years ago and the great question of this day. While the former were in their nature local, limited and con tingent, the question now at issue is universal and unconditional, ll was wrong to extend slavery in 1848, wrong in 1854. and the party that upheld the infamous measure took thei'r position npon the prin. ctple of Popular Sovereignty. Entrenched behind that principle, the Administration of Pierce, abetted by Cushing, Douglas and Forney, opened not their lips except to revile, while the liberties of Kansas were literally butchered. To the suggestion of our Montrose neighbor we must say “ By no means— never!" We shall never aid. to place tiie party in so false a position. We do not recognize any dis. charge in tills war. What if the party in power did succeed in enacting the Compromise of 1820 in spile of the protest of the entire North ? What if the same parly succeeded In abrogating that Com. promise in 1854, and thus opened up the entire do main to the incursions of Slavery under the specious pretence of Popular Sovereignly, while the North rang, with protests and remonstrances 7 and what if in 1857, this same party, grown tired of the doc trine of Popular Sovereignty, deliberately strangled the brat in its Kansas policy 7 Admit that this wicked party has been guilty of all these deeds— and who will deny it 7—and admit that it has ic complished its most wicked purposes in the teetii of determined opposition, are rightminded men to turn back from opposing the Satanic cause of Freedom’s peril 7 Is it manly. Is it wise to yield one inch to the forward march of usurpation because the usurp er has not been driven back by past effort 7 We are not, as true men, to abate one jot of our .opposi tion iothc further spread of slavery, thongh. a thou sand times defeated—though a thousand side issues be manufactured by Mr. Douglas to divert attention from the itldeousncss of ills public life I How are men to bring the government back to the principles of *B7 if they take their position upon the Cincin nati platform 7 There was a platform laid down in Independence Hall, and proclaimed from its steps some fourscore years ago to a people who concluded to fight a bat. lie on principle ere they could boast n single vie lory over a powerful enemy. Their descendants very generally come to despise the lesson embodied in Ihat struggle. With its heroes and patriots plat, forms were something more than pretty composi tions, to go out of fashion with the coat on one’s back. This, however, is a progressive age. Mr. Lemuel Todd, Chairman of the Republican Slate Committee, lias issued a call for a Slate Con vention to be held ul Harrisburg on the Blh of July next ensuing. This call is addressed lo « all oppos ed lo the Kansas policy of the Administration ” and does not lo us, as the editor of the Bradford Report er says it does lo him, appear at all obscure. Mr* Todd does not, as we conceive, assume to act for the Republican parly at all in this matter. He is evi dently acting for a parly not yet christened. As the agent of the Republican parly he would have ad dressed himself lo 4 * the Republicans of Pennsylva nia, 1 * and not to M all opposed to highway robbery, 11 as, in effect,be now does. If Mr. Todd assumes to bo the agent of the Republican party and suppo ses that he is doing the work he was commissioned lo do, all we have to say, is, (hut he is most egre giously mistaken. We have not much space to de vote to the views and definitions generally entertain ed relative lo the functions of & Committee ; but we may just mention that a Legislative Judiciary Com mittee would hardly presume to take up the business of the Committee on Roads and Bridges. Mr. Todd will be requested to issue a call for a Republican State Convention if he should prove oblivious more than two weeks longer. “Ancelique Bovons” {buvez, invent?) sends us a poem in la bellsr longue which we must decline publishing for two reasons: First, it is strangely similar lo a poem on the same subject written by a French gentleman, known in the world of letters as Jean Baptiste Rousseau—which poem was quite common in the French school books of ten years ago. On comparison we find it exactly similar, bar ring two of the best verses of the original left out lu the second place, we prefer good, honest English for common purposes, and presume our readers do the same. The Fire-eaters held a Convention at Montgom ery, Alabama, on the 10th ult., at which resolutions in favor of reopening the Slave Trade were discuss ed and ordered to lip over until the next meeting of the crew in May 1859.

Theretnainder of tbs evening was taken up with short speeches.by various members of the Institute and spectators. Rev. N. L. Reynolds, pronounced an ap propriale parting address, in which humor, pathos and practical wisdom were happily blended, and sat down nrnid hearty applause. The Institute then adjourned to meet at the cal! of the Co. Superintendent. A very general “good time” ensued, du ring which, old acquaintances were renewed and new ones formed, and a decorous hilarity prevailed until a late hour. Thus closed the second session of thelnslitme, lasling through three and a half days, and marked through out by the utmost harmony and good feeling. A vole of thanks was tendered to the peo ple of Wellsboro, for the generous hospital ity accorded to those in attendance. The greatest number of teachers present at any time was stated to be 157. (adoenda:)' [The following report of Wednesday’s pro ceedings of the Institute was mislaid and could not be found in time to appear in the regular order, ft gives a tolerably full ac count of Mr. Hickok’s farewell address, as also of some interesting exercises.— Ed. Ag.] Mr. Hiekok said the occasion was one of deep interest to him, as teachers are the vital agencies through which our educational in terests are to be redeemed. School funds may day much; but without good teachers the interests of eduention cannot be furthered one step. The teachers of the county should form themselves into a body-guard around the Superintendent, to cheer and to sustain him in the discharge of his manifold duties. If they neglect to do this, the system cannot be perfected. Their interests are identical. If you place obstacles in the vvay of the Su perintendent, you do but obstruct your own paths. To perfect the system, teachers.must be educated up to the position of the Superin tendent, for it is from their ranks that these officers must be taken ere the object contem plated by the law is reached. Let teachers awake to the importance of this truth. Text books are to the teacher what the bi ble is to the clergyman. The living teacher, only, can instruct succesfully how to reduce theory tp practice. The voice, the eye, the manner and the presence give emphasis to every truth and life to principles. On motion, Hnn. H.C. Hiekok was elected an honorary member of the Institute. On motion, a vole of thanks was tendered that gentleman for his valuable services. Dr. Pratt here remarked that nothing had been said upon the subject of reading.— Teachers were not uniformly good readers, as reports from various'parts of the Statq al leged. There was no soul in their reading. Mr. Kirkendall said that, no person was qualified to teach unless a good reader.— Good reading is one of the first and most val uable accomplishments, but there are difficul ties in the way of teaching this important branch. Exercises in Grammar. —The Chairman suggested that all teachers desiring to parti cipate in the exercises should form themselves into a class, and that some teacher he select ed to drill the class. On motion the Chair man was appointed to lake charge of the class. Mr. Wildman, said that the study of gram mar was one of the most important of the ed ucational branches. It is a common sense branch, requiring much of. the judgment. It was a very erroneous idea, entertained by some people, that the study could be mastered in three or six months. It was a work of years of careful study. He (hen proceeded with a very interesting examination of the class. The Moses Taylor slearaer, which arrived at this port on Saturday morning, brings the California mails of May 7 l with §1,575,991 in gold. The regular steamer of the sth insl., the Golden Gale, after leaving San Francisco broke her centre shaft when about forty-five miles out,and was obliged lo return. Her mails and passengers were transferred lo the Sonora, which left San Francisco on the afiernoon of the 7lh. The reports of the gold discoveries at Frazer R'ver, in Washinglon Territory, were producing great excitement at San Francisco, and many per sons were preparing to try their fortune in that quarter.

Owtagto. the iaclem ency of the weather, there were riot near as many on board as was anticipated, but among the number was Goy. Roßissopf and Col. Park, of Parkville, together wuh quite a number of ladies. The distance from here to Kansas City is about twelve titles. When the boat reached Wyandott the wind was blowing a perfect hurricane, and owing to the carelessness of one of the engi neers in reversing his engine, the; “Otis” ran into the Wyandott Steamer Perry boat and stove one of the wheels, wheell house, and engine all to pieces, and smashed the railing on the bow of her own boat When down came the flag which was immediately seized by the hands employed on th 4 Wyandott boat, and hoisied on their pilot holise. , When the “Oris” was ready to resurpe her trip, one of the Quindaro boys ascended and re captured the flag which was again hoisied on our boat and everything after went “merry as a marriage bell.” [ | We reached Kansas City abbptll o’clock. The boat lay at this place, till 3 o’clock, which gave me a fine opportunity to visit this miserable hole. It is a! much larger place than I had anticipated 1 , and presents from the river an imposing appearance. It is well built up back of the bluffs, and has some fine business houses and residences, .but it is needless to say that this town is built up and sustained by the Free-State emigrants who are daily arriving there, and the trade which is constantly pouring in from the Southern part of the Territory. 1 There are over a dozen Hotels here, not one of which is fit for a while man to stop atj In promenading the streets with my friend B. I cast my eyes on a grog .shop kept by H. T. Titus, of Kansas and Nicaragua no toriety. Having a great desire to see the gentleman, (?) [ entered his doggery, which is now owned by another man, and in less than two minutes the following [took place : ( Titus to the bar ■tender.'). “Give u? some thing to drink.” , 1 (Bar-tender.) “I’ll wait on| you when 1 gel ready.” ' j. To this unexpected answer,! Titus raised his cane and struck the bar-leader a severe blow on the arm, and raised jlo give him another blow, saying “he would knock his G—d d—d brains out,” when! lip was held by some of the men in the room, [who told him to behave. Titus is a good-lotjkingman, over six feel high, well proportioned, a coward and bully. He has been ordered to leave the place, and is now organizing a company to go to Arizonia. I Kansas City is under the control of a set of vagabonds like Titus, but (the business men are principally Free-State men who dare not say their, souls are their own. There is an immense amount of business done at this point—one firm selling eighty-nine thousand dollars worth of goods in one week. It is a busy place, and receives all o'f j the Saoia Fe trade which amounts to millions of’ dollars annually. - j ’ Thret o’clock rolled slowly around, when 1 look my seal in the little, steamboat and reached here at 6 o’clock in time for supper. On my return T heard that's messenger ar rived at Fort Leavenworth on Friday morn ing the 14th bringing the inews that the difficulty heretofore existing between Uncle Sam and Brigham Young has been amicably settled, and that “Brigham has issued a proc lamation to the Sainis not to [offer any re sistance to the U. S. Troops [but to allow them to enter the City peaceably, and has invited Gnv. Camming upon the dis charge of his duties. His arms, munitions of war, &c., have been surrendered.” How much (ruth there is in'lhe foregoing report, lam unable to say; but if reports be true, the Mormon War has i ended—a com plete fizzle. \ Truly, Yours, • F.jA.

Cobb; Dear Sir; \ The subject— “ The reason of the rules of Alligation Alter nate” was assigned me by a Committee dur ing the session of the Institute. The theme is very intricate and requires e| mathematical demonstration. I sta'ed in, the outset that the subject called for the demonstration of an established truth, and that it! did not require the solution of a problem and the application of a rule. I was not called on to illustrate a praclcal example in arithmetic to a class, of pupils, but I was required lo deduce a practical rule for solving questions fn Alliga tion Alternate to an Institute of teachers. It was not my business to apply a principle, but to investigate a truth. !

After consider!, ble parley Miller consented, and they started. ‘ As they were passing through the woods i Hostrander stopped and said to Mill er s “There’s a bear,” at the same lime poiutio! ’ his finger in the direction of the object.-! Miller looked in the direction pointed out and saw a bear, and drew up bis gun and fired, striking the bear and killing it. Simultana. ously with (he report of the gon down dropped another bear from a tree, which was the 005 1 Hostrander had seen, within a few yards q[ | where they stood. As soon as Miller taw E the bear he threw down the empty gun, which I had done good service with the other, and I took after the bear through the brush. The I chase now became interesting, but after tub- I ning «bout two hundred yards Miller cams ! up with the bear and making a spring at him caught him by the ears. Mr. Bruin begaa ‘ to think that he was getting into close quat- ■ ters, and used his paws with a right god will in the attempt to shake off his adversary, •' But notwithstanding the bear’s claws were making fearful incisions into his arms ad thighs, Millet held on until his companion came up, when they tore up the bag in which they bad their salt and tied the bear and then selling a pole they fixed him on it and 600 him home in triumph. The bear is sidl n the possession of Mr. Miller, and we are in formed is a very ugly customer. They tali , of to town on the day of the circus, but we ore not reliably informed whether they will do so or not. Miller Ist, young man, we are informed, about eighteen years old. Possessed of such courage and presence of mind we should presume that he is destined, if be follows it up, to become a "mighty hunter,” - The bear is about the size of a largji Newfoundland dog.—Jerjrj Shore Vedette. A Revival Incident. —lt is staled that during the prevailing revival, a minister from a distance officiated in a village in western New York, and spoke very freely on the du ty of immediate repentance. After the con clusion of the services,las the minister was leaving the church, he, was accosted by a gentleman who wished to speak with him.— The substance of the conversation, as over heard by our informant, was as follows; the gentleman expressed himself to the minister aa under sincere conviction, but slated at the same lime, that 'here was a difficulty in tie way of his taking the steps be should, arising from line nature of his business. The minis ter inquired what the difficulty was? “1 dm an Editor, sir.” The minister assured him that that wasa very honorable calling - r one in which he might do a great deal of good, and he could not see how that pr'esea'ed any hindrance. “But I am a Democratic Editor sir, and support James Buchanan and the Lecompica Constitution’.” Our informant stales the minister’s fact immediately assumed a much graver aspect, and that the conversation became very lav and earnest, the only part of .which he *u able to catch, being where he was arguing the imperative necessity of “renouncing 18- devil and all his works.”— Trenton Stitt Gazette.
