and this reunion was the 25th anniver
sary of that engagement. Company
A. known iw tho Iron Guards, was re
cruited hero in April 1861, and left
here for Harrisburg on tho 7th of May.
On Thursday June 14th 1861 tho Iron
Guards returned to Bloomsburg and
had an enthusiastic reception.
The Sixth regiment was organized
June 22 1861. Freczo's History thus
speaks of it: On tho 11th of July it
moved to Greencastlo, Pa., and on the
22d was ordered by the way of Harps
burg and Baltimore to Washington.
It was mustered into tho servioo of the
United States July 27, 1861. It was
assigned to tho Third Brigade of Mo
Call's Division. On December 20th
the battlo of Draincsvillo was fought,
in which tho Reserves won thoir first
vlotory. It i8nmpo8sible to follow tho
Reserves in ail their movements and
marches. It would bo almost a history
of tho war. On tho 18th of June, 1802
it embarked for White House Va. On
tho 28th it was abandoned and tho
Btores burned, and tho army fell back,
McClollan having been beaten in tho
Seven Day's fight. Tho regiment
reached Harrisons Landing on tho 1st
of July. Tho last days of July oamo
the three day's manoeuvreing tight at
Warrentown. After tho Second Bull
Ran tho Regiment moved towards
South Mountain and took position on
the mountain top, and the next two
days rero in the victory gained by
McCIellan at Antietam. And so it
continued in marcji, counter march
and drill and in duo course moved on
toward Fredericksburg, in which
battlo it took a very prominent part.
It made the celebrated "Mud March,"
and on the 25th Juno moved from Fair
fax Station to join in tho Gettysburg
campaign. Thence to Falling Avaters.
Rappahannock, Bristoe Station, New
Hope Church, through the campaign
of the Wilderness, and on to the battle
at Bethesda Church, fought after its
term of enlistment had expired, and
gaining a signal victory, it started for
Harrisburg 1 June, 1864, where it was
mustered out on tho 11th of the same,
month, with a military reputation un
surpassed by any in the service.
The programme for the day was as
follows : At 9:45 a meeting was held
in Winona Hall at which the following

COl'NTV INSTITUTE.
The annual session of the Columbia
County Teacher' Institute convened at the
Opera House at Bloomsburj;, at 2 o'clock
P. M., Monday, December 20, 1880, and
was opene1' by tho slnglnc; of a selection
from "The Gospel Hymns," Miss Ent pre
siding at the organ. Dr. Mitchell read a
portion of scripture and led in prayer.
Mr Grimes appointed tho following per
sons a committee on nominations : Mr.
Fisher. Mr. O'ltrian, Miss Gensel, Miss Al
len, Miss RIttenhouse.
Geo. E. Elwell, Esq., extended to the
teachers cordial greetings on behalf of the
people of Bloomsburg, after which be made
some excellent remarks which were greatly
enjoyed by all A few of the thoughts
contained therein are these : "The noble
professiou In which you are engaged is one
in which we are all Interested. The laud
able purpose for which you are now con
vened, that you may better prepare your
self for the Important and arduous duties
of your calling, Is one that should attract
the attention of every parent and every
good cltlr jn who has the public welfare at
heart. A large proportion of the children
in this country are educated in the public
schools, and It is therefore evident that the
culture and success of tho masses depend
greatly upon the teacher. The greatest
wealth is always found in communities
where there Is the least illiteracy, and
crime and pauperism prevail to the greatest
extent where there is the most ignorance,
bome countries have laws making attend
ance at school compulsory, while others
leave the matter to the discretion of par
ents. As to tho beneficence of this com-
p ulsory system, I can only say in passing
that where it Is in force, there Is necesB-
arlly more diffused knowledge and a cor
responding absence of pauperism, than
where attendance is voluntary. There is
nothing new to say about education and
educators. While we hear much of late
years about tho "New Methods" of teach.
ing, the system in voguo to-day is really a
hundred years old. The principles devel
oped by l'estalozzl who was born in 1740,
have never been improved on. Thoy im
brace all that is Included In the "new edu
cation" of tho present. Success in teach
ing, however, depends mainly on the teach
er. An energetic teacher, who throwB his
whole soul into the v ork will be sure to
succeed. Mr. Elwell slated further that
Bloomsburg seemed a titling place for
holding Institute, for it represents the prog,
rcss made In educational facilities, since
the beginning ot tho present century, hav
ing kept abreast of the times, and advanc
ed slowly and surely, until she stands sec
ond to no town In tho stale of Pennsylva
nia In school advantages. We aro known,
too, as an educational centre, where teach,
ers aro prepared for their lifo work, and it
Is fitting that you should come here to still
further itoprovoyourselves, and us by your
presence"
Mr. Fisber, chairman ot committee on
nominations, mado tho following report:
Miss Barton, Bee; Mr, Brcese, Treas.j Mr,
Gearhurt, Door keeper. It was moved and
seconded that their report bo accepted.
The motion was carried.
Miss McClintock of Mead vllle, Pa., ren
dered lu her atirncttvo style a' solo, which
was greatly enjoyed by all.
Miss Matilda Hoes, from Chicago, 111.,
was Introduced and entertained tho aud
ience for some time. Bhe said that in
Pennsylvania Institutes sho found many
things to commend, not found in those of
Iowa and some other Western Btates, and
at the same time could commend to us
some of their methods. In Pennsylvania
one aim of institute Is to educate public
sentiment. In Iowa this Is not the case.
Tho principal work there Is class drill,
and lectures are not thought ot, Bho rec
ommended to us a little ot their class drill,
and to them a few ot our lectures, Bho
stated further, that as teachers we should
know more about tho history of the early
educators, and their teachings. Bhe then
gave us briefly a short sketch of flvo of our
earliest educators, stating clearly their
different methods, and showing la how
many ways their mothods conform with
our so called "now method of teach.
Ing." Bhe also began a sctlos of object
lessons as given by Frobcl, the object bo.
Ing a red ball. This object was selected,
first, bosauso naturo abounds In circles and
curves, and second, because red Is ona of
her principal colors.
Tho Instltuto took an Intermission ot 0
minutes, from 3:?0 to 3:25. This was fol
lowed by hymn No. 80, Gospel hymns.
Trof. Clark, principal of tho Berwick
schools, read an Interesting papor on tho
subject of Language.
Prof. Nclf, of Philadelphia, next took up
tho subject of Heading. Ho said we
should read as wo talk, mcautng by this,
that wo should apply tho samo principles or
laws In reading that wo do In talking.
Threo of theso laws are: I. Tho law of
spontaneity. H. Tho law of unconscious"
ness. HI. Tho law of individuality. From
theso laws certain principles may bo de
rived, which will bo helpful In teaching
reading, to prevent tho frco manifestation
of each pupil's Individuality. Tho Uw of
unconsciousness. Never do anything to
mako a pupil conscious of its own manner
of expression. The law of spontaneity.
Never determine upon the expression be
forehand. While ho would not employ Im
itation In teaching reading, ' ho advised
tcacheri to read every day beforo the
school, good selections, so that the pupils
might absorb tho manner ot expression.
Tho teacher should bo careful, however,
not to read a lesson ho expects tho chil
dren to read.
Mr. Qilmes appointed the following gen
tlemen a committee to keep order among
tho littlo boys, and to scat guests who may
honor us with their presence: Mr. Evans,
Mr. Header and Mr. Sbuman.
Institute adjourned at 4:40 p. m.
MONDAY EVENING, DEO. 19.
Tho exercises of tho evening opened
with n solo and chorus, rendered with taste
and skill, by tho Bloomsburg Choral Soci
ety.
Miss Bell McClintock followed with a
beautiful solo, and soon won the hearts of
tho audience with her sweet voico. Tho
applause was prolonged until she favored
them with another selection.
Mr. Grimes introduced to the audience
Col. Geo. W. Bain, of Kentucky, lecturer
of tho evening. Ills lecture, "Among the
Musses," Is simply grand, and the audience
listened with earnest attention throughout.
At tho closo of tho lecture Miss McClin
tock gavo the audience another selection.
TUESDAY MOKN1NO, DEO. 21.
The Institute was called to order at 0 a.
m., and opened with tho singing of hymn
No. 41, Gospel hymns. Devotional exor
cises were conducted by Rev. F. Mnnhart,
paHorof the Lutheran church of Blooms
burg. Prof. Ncff resumed his talk on Heading,
after giving briefly a review of yesterday's
work, and emphasizing Jihe remarks then
mado. If, now, we observo tho laws of
Individuality, unconsciousness and spon
taneity, how shall wo correct errors ? In
the first place, tho teacher should correct
one thing at a time. It errors In pronun
ciation are made, it would be a good plan
for the teacher to take note of each error,
and once or twice a week, call the attention
ot pupils to them. If mistakes In empha
sis occur, it is probably because the child
does not understand tho thought to bo
brought out. After the child onco catches
the thought the'e will be littlo difficulty in
way of emphasis. The best thing for tho
teacher to do then, is to draw from the
child the thought, beforo there Is any at
tempt at reading. Never tell a pupil what
to emphasize. Never tell a pupil to read
loud. Never tell a pupil to read low.
Never tell a pupil to read in a higher or
lower pitch of voice. Never tell a child to
use the rising and falling inflection. Be
cause, if we call attention of pupils to
their mode of expression, we aro violating
the law of unconsciousness. How, then,
shall I remedy low reading ? It is a good
plan to give exercise In vocal expression.
For instance, tho pupil may repeat after
the teacher tho vowels, a, e, 1, o, u, giving
them each time a littlo louder. At first,
this should be a concert exercise, but after
a time should bo mado personal.
Intermission from 10 to 10.15.
Miss McClintock entertained tho aud
ience with a solo.
Miss Ross continued tho talk begun
yesterday, giving, first a review of her
work thus far. Sho presented again
Froehel's first object, tho red ball, and
illustrated the principle, that in giving ob
ject lessons you must load chi'dren to think
Independently. Froebel's second object
lessoi., consisting of a cube, a cylinder and
a ball, was next presented, with the state
ment that the first object represented
unity, tho second trinity. The objects for
the second lesson were chosen, because,
they are related to each other, and was
beautifully shown, and because wo cannot
And anything not In some way belonging
to one of these forms. Bho thought it
profitable for teachers to have three shelves
put up in one corner of the school room
for tho reception of objects to ho brought
In by tho children. After taKing about
three different shapes ask each of the
children to brlug In during iho week a
round object. Label It with tho child's
namo and place It on tho top shelf. Tho
second week ask them to bring something
that is square, and place it in tho saraowny
on the lovkei shelf. Tho next week ask
them to bring in something cyllnJrical.and
treat as beforo, placing on second shelf.
Children will become much interested and
acquire much inform ition in their way,
Tho room bclpg very cold, a motion
was mado at 10.45 to adjourn until 2 o'clock
p. ra. The motion was carried.
TUESDAY AFTEKNOOJf.
Institute was called to order and opened
with ringing.
Prof Neil again took up the subject ot
reading. Rending cons'sts simply In get
ting and giving thought. Punctuation
marks aid In determining tho thought, but
aro otherwise valuable In reading. Bo we
may say punctuation has everything to do
with getting, hut nothing to do with
giving thought. How shall we prevent
monotone In reading? In the first plaeo,
tho pupil who reads in a monotone does
not realize what he is riadlng. In asking
questions relating to a piece about to ho
read by such pupil, ask concrete questions
that appeal to tho Imagination, and not
abstract questions that appeal merely to
tho understanding. It Is necessary for tho
reader to feel u thought before being able
to read it well. This Is not what we mean
by realizing a thought, and, In order to
help pupils feel tho thought, teachers must
appeal to their Imagination, There aro two
ways of getting thought, 1, Through the
senses. 2. By means ot language. The
senses collect tor thoughts, and language
puts the material together. When children
como to school their minds are filled with
material gathered from experience. Now,
the first thing to ho dose, is to have them
express la their own language what they
have seen, heard, etc. This exercise should
bo coulluued on through thy year, and en
gaged in, not only by tho younger pupils,
but the older ones as well.
An Intermission ot a few minutes was
given.
Miss McClintock rendered a solo,
Miss Ross resumed her Object Lessons,
taking as the third lesson, a number of
cubes, Alter drawing .from pupils all lu
formation posslblo concerning tho cubes,
sho Illustrated a novol plan ot story telling
for tho children. It consisted of a rear
rangement of tho blocks from tlmo to time,
as tho story progressed, to picture to the
mind tho object talked about
Music, "Draw mo Nearer."
Prof. Ncff concluded his talk on Read
ing by giving soma hints as to hearing a
lessoni 1. Collect all books from pupils,
2, Select an unfamiliar plcco whoso words
arc familiar. 8. Teacher plcturo the
thought of tho lesson in his Imagination
4. Dcscrlbo theso pictures to pupils in
your own language. 5. Have tho pupils
wrlto tho description of theso pictures, at
their scats. 0. Pupils dcscrlbo pictures
orally, In their own language. 7. Pupils
read tho lesson described. This should bo
kept up until children can get tho thought
themselves. 1 never allow pupils to read
until they have given tho thoughts of tho
lesson In their own language

'1'ho oxcrclso of tho evening opened with
slnglug by the "Bloomsburg Choral Bode
ty," followed by two solos by Miss Belle
McClintock.
Mr. Grimes Introduced as tho speaker ot
the evening, Dr. Buckley, of Now York,
Editor of "The Christian Advocate." Tho
Dr. handled his subject "Cranks'' with
great skill, and the audience was delighted.
At the closo ot tho lecture, Miss McClin
tock ngnln favored tho audience with her
sweet voice, and tho exercises of the even.

Bloomsburg Choral Society.

Being desirous of placing our work more fully before the pub
lic, and after much thought and deliberation, wo have resolved to
make a certain number of our Elegant Life-size Crayon Portraits,
including an elegant gold frame, for the exceedingly low price of
$15,00. We intend to have at least one of our Life-size Crayon
Portraits in every city and village in this country, and to intro
duce them we will make one of our $30,00 Crayon Portraits for
the person who will bring or send this advertisement and furnish
us a good photograph or other small picture, from which they de
sire a Portrait to be made. Nearly every family possesses the
small picture of some friend, deceased or living, whose memory
they cherish, and a good portrait of whom they would value as a
priceless gem. The uncertainty of life admonishes all that do
not possess a Portrait of their darling boy or girl, or of Father or
Mother, Wife or Husband, who may be nearincr the end of life's
journey, that this matter should
The Op or t unity is now Offered You
to get absolutely without charge, except moderate cost of frame
an elegant Crayon Portrait that will never change or fade. Tho
chance of obtaining one of the number is now offered to you. Re
member we guarantee satisfaction in all cases, or in other words ;
the Crayon Portrait will be a perfect likeness, enlarged from tho
small picture furnished to us ; therefore, try and secure as good
and clear a picture as possible, for much depends upon its cor
rectness. It' at present you have no suitable picture to copy from
if you will call upon us we can aid you very much in getting one
that will certainly mako a good Crayon Portrait, as the lights and
shades of the small picture, if sharp and clear, will so appear in
the Crayon Portrait.
After a certain number have been placed beforo the public in
the above gratuitous manner we will then charge $30,00 for overy
Crayon Portrait made by us, framed. You are invited to call and
examine our Portraits before giving an order to us, and in case
you reside so far away that you can not conveniently call, perhaps
you have some friend that would examine our Portraits and
Frames and report to you.
Our sole object in making these Crayons on tho above terms be
ing to introduce them into families where they can be seen by
friends that may want a Portrait made after the time that our gra
tuitous offer has expired. We earnestly value and covet your pat
ronage, and wo mean no intrusion in submitting our special offer
for your consideration, believing that your good judgment will
prompt you to inspect our work and give us at least ONE order.
Be careful and preserve this advertisement as it possesses a val
ue in Fine Crayon Work of at least $30,00. This advertisement
must, in every case, accompany the order, either in person or by
letter, as the case may be.
UJCSr Where parties have to order by mail wo will send tho
Portrait framed, C. O. D. by express, subject to examination, and
if not satisfactory in every particular, it costs you nothing. There
fore, you take no risk in getting a cheap, inferior Portrait. Par
ticular attention givn to orders received by mail.
N. B. This advertisement must bo presented on or before Jan.
1st, 1887 ; after then the regular price will be charged.
