of this thriving town, to bear that there is a
legislative body, composed of citizens, that
meets prriodicilly, within the Council House,
and passes laws that people, without knowing
anything about them, are expected to observe.
This body, we learn, is called the Council,
and is presided over by a Burgess. It is said
that its antipathy to newspapers is the cause
of its obscurity. Might it not more properly
be attributed to parsimoniousness ? We charge
nothing for this puff.

One day last week a young son of Mr. Sims',

ST. ELMO, 111., July 8, 1874.
R. V. PIERCE, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y. :—I wish, to add my
testimony to the wonderful curative properties of your
Alt. Ext., or Golden Medjcal Discovery. I have taken
great interest in this medicine since I first used it. I was
badly afflicted with dyspepsia, liver deranged and an al
most perfect prostration of the nervous system. Se rapid
and complete did the Discovery effect a perfect cure that
it seemed more like magic and a perfect wonder to myself,
and since that time we have never been without a bottle
of the Discovery and Purgative Pellets in the house. They
are a solid, sound family physician in the house and ready
at all times to fly to the relief of sickness—without
charge. We have never had a doct.r in the house since
we firstbegan the use of your Pellets and Discovery. I
'have recommended the use of these medicines in several
severe and complicated cases arising from, as I thought,
an impure state of the blood, and in no one case bare they
failed to snore than accomplish all they are claimed to do.
I will only mention one as remarkable, (though I could
give you dozens) Henry Koster, furniture dealer, of this
place, who was one of the most pitiful objects ever seen,
his face swollen out of shape, scales and eruptions with
out end, extending to his body, which was completely
covered with blothes and scales. Nothing that he took
seemed to effect it a particle. I finally induced him to try
a few bottle. of the Golden Medical Discovery, with daily
use of the Pellets, assuring him it would surely cure him.
He commenced its use some six weeks since, taking two
Pellets each night for a week, then one each night, and
the Discovery as directed. The result is, to-day his skin
is perfectly smooth, and the scaly eruptions are gone.
He has taken some seven or eight bottles in all, and con
siders himself cured. This case had baffled the skill of
our best physicians. Messrs. Dunsford & Co., druggests,
of this place, are selling largely of your medicines and
the demand steadily increases, and they give perfect satis
faction in every case.
Respectfally, W. H. CHAMPLIN,
Agt. Am. Esp. Co.
MINUTES OF HUNTINGDON COUNTY
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE HELD IN THE COURT 110 - USE, HUNTING
DON, MONDAY, Nov. 23D., lel4.—The Institute assembled
at 2 o'clock p. m. pursuant to the call of the County Su
perintendent and after religious exercises by the Rev.
Mr. Hunter, proceeded to organize by the election of Jas.
Norris and Wm. R. Baker us Secretaries. The names of
teachers present were then enrolled. The Ballot for the
Committee on permanent certificates resulted in the elec
tion of B. McKibben, Wm. It. Baker, J. I. White, Sties
Belle P. Glazier, and Miss S. E. Gregory.
The Superintendent made afew remarks with a view of
ensuring punctuality and thorough attendance during the
whole term of the Institute and the practical appdeadons
by our teaching of the knowledge obtained through the
medium of the exerciser.
Mr. McDivitt contrasted the Trackers' Institute of a
fo.uner period with those of the present and expressed the
oPiaion that considerable progress hail been made. Be
also urged the neceoosity of applying the knowledge ac
quired of teachers to the practical business of teaching.
Mr. White congratulated the teachers that so considera
ble a number of them Lad responded to the call of the Su
perintendent. Ile contended that the business of teaching
was emphatically a profession, a high useful and honor
able profession, anti exhorted the members of the Insti
tute to exhibit great interest in thair profession.
Mr. H. McKibben, dwelt upon the importance of Teach
ers' Institutes, and hoped that teachers present would
avail themselves of the pre,ent opportunity to increase
their efficiency.
Sir. D. Tussey believed that if the profession of a teach
, is to be elevated to its due dignity, it most Le through
the agency of the teachers themselves, 1,7 the steady and
earnest performance of their duties with but reference to
Pecuniary compensation, which would assuredly toe ade
quately increased wherever thorough competence was
evinced.

Mr. Win. R. Baker delivered a lecture on the use of
U,1114. The lecturer opened his discourse by an allusion
to phrenological indications of character, independent of
wools. Ile instituted a comparison between the wend.
of words and their meaning and concluded that there was
a marked ettnihrrity. Words, lie stated, are the repregen
tativei Of ideas honor the necensity of accuracy in their
use, distinctness of enunciation and appropriateness of
time. These particulars were copiously illustrated by
numerous anecdotes, many of which were of a humorous
and entertaining character. The impropriety of double
negatives, faulty renunciation, and improper pleural
izing were exposed liv many opposite exatnples. Errone
ous syntactical arrangement wan dwelt upon by the lec
turer, who exhibited thin defect in a very ridiculous light,
and proceeding to punctuation he showed clearly that cor
rectness in this particular was eSielliiol to the lucid ex
pression of ideas. lie condemned the abuse of adjective.,
the use of slang, and grandiloquent expressions when plain
language would better answer the purp se. Ile censured
profanity in general and especially the careless and in—
correct use of the name of the Deity, and the use of fer
mented wines in the Sacrament of the Lord's slipper. The
lecturer concluded by expressing a demo that accuracy
in the Use of words would be cultivated.
Mr. Baker wan followed by Dr. Oct' D. Orlady, who de
livered un eloquent discourse on "The People. College."
The Doi tor, not being a teacher, apologized for hie appear
ing before an assembly of teachers for the purpose of
giving instructions on matters ports gto education.
After attending to the labors of the wine men of ancient
times and the recluses of the middle ages, he traced the
progress of scholastic education in North America, in the
colonial states and throughout the century which has ems
ceeded the Declaration of Independence. Ile depicted the
preterit state of education, and examined Its result and its
Influeoce on virtue and morality. Ile threw it marked dis
tinction between the education of the head and the heart,
and contended that more knowledge tail not necesearily
pre:note religion awl virtue. In Maching, he considered
that one great obje,t wan to gain the good will of the pupil.
Corporeal punishment ought not in his opinion to he in
discriminately used. The great causes of lack iu success
lie in the lack of tact, which inheres In the majority of
teachers, In regard to inducing parents to interest them-
NelVel in the success' f the schools, the frequent caret...-
new, lack of interest exhibited by Director. and parents.
Ho condemned the introduction of the higher brunches
in our common ochools, on the ground that the maims of
the children could not be thoroughly itettactel In these
branches and the time spent in asperlielal Inculcation
could be better employed in securing increased thorough.
nese in the common branchce. Do approved highly of
the increased employment of the gentle sex In tile Wei
wets of teachitee. The lecturer concluded by an eloquent
peroration MS the capacity of the Intellect for Illimitable
progreitsfon. on the neceteity for the cultivation of the
heart and on the connection of all existences with the
Gnat First Cause shit controls the semi and governs the
aggregate,

MOBNINU SESSION (Tyststmv, Nov, 2itb.)
Ninnies read and partied.
Orthography was then taken tip by Mr. it. F. Drown.
The , speaker dwelt upon the necessity of distinct articula
tion and recommended frequent exercise In the enuncia
tion of the elementary sounds of the language as tending
to the cultivatien of distinct allowance and to Iles int
proventent of ties human voice.
Professor Raub then addressed the Institute. lie con
gratulated the audience on the improved appearanee of
the Court finale and then proceeded to csiusisier the sub
ject of Analytical 4;i-emitter. Auelyels, Ise stared, had no
counection with Grimmer. The art of speaking or wri
ting a tanguage with propriety or even 4With parsing or
writing the several parts of speech on the blackboard and
',ensuing the cidechical in combination with the explan
atory method of instruction, he thoroughly analysed the
leading grammatical elements in a manner calculated to
Impress the facts on the:mindit of teachers and to intricate
their practical ability in thwart of teaching. The Proles
sor thought that teaching of Orawmar had been made lin
net:temerity intricate and that it was now high time that
we should begin to.take a eOlllllOOll souse view of the sub
ject.
Mr. Woodruff succeeded and addressed the Institute on
Vocal 3lusle. The Professor first addressed the novices
in art. lie stated that the theory of tutieic could be ac
quired in two hours, by a penson of ordinary capacity, but
that frequent intelligent practice was the only road to RUC
rest in the art. The importance of a cs,rrect perception of
time in many avocations was ably illustrated by the
speaker. lie ads-erased the introduction of vocal music
into the curriculum of our common schools. The Professor
drew a striking analogy Letween the study of the topics
taught fit schools, colleges or elsewhere and the study of
music. An aseinaintattea with a language renders the
stores of all the science and literature of that language
available to the student, and knowledge of the language of
MUSIC (Tens the treamres of music to all who wish to par
take of them. The Professor concluded by a singing exer
cise. - . . .

Physical Ceogra.plty by 11. C. Weir. Mr. Weir thought
the natural cout,e of eographiral instruction woulll be to
teach physical Were political geography, or at least in
combinatbm with it, that the fernier was caster of expla
nation than the latter. The speaker deprecated the prac
tice of confining instruction Vi the base contents of the
text-book and advocated an expenihe 'system of verbal
tuition, in addition to the specified Leeman.. But to be
capable of imparting thorough instruction, the teacher
ought to be able to explain the reason for and causes of all
the physical phenomena connected with geography.
D. M. Giles twit excepti n to the right standard of sci
entific knowledge required by Mr. Weir as necessary to
competence in a teacher, and contended that tried by Mr.
Weir's standard, few pereons, save an Aggesiz, a Tyndall,
or an eminent scientist, would be competent to the office
of common school teacher.
• H. McKibbin illustrated the subject of geography by
explanatory illustrations of several interestiag geographi

teacher, and all teachers ought to study and obey the laws
of health. Dress is of considerable importance as a judi
cious attention to this particular and has considerable po
tency in influencing first impressions; at the same time
the speaker counsels moderation in reference to attire.
Pleasantness in manner of address is very desirable, es
pecially when addressing those of inferior caste or station
in life. Common sense is an essential qualification, but
the speaker could not furnish any specific recipe which
would lead to its acquirement. Sympathy with the feel
ing and interests of those with whom we come in contact
is an amiable and attractive qualification. Wit is a valua
ble characteristic, but it is an endowment which ought to
be used judiciously, to please and to create harmless mer
riment but not to wound or hurt the feelings of others.
At least a fair knowledge of the subjects proposed to be
taught is absolutely necessary, and without it the teacher
lacks confidence and cannot possibly be efficient. You
cannot teach what you do not know. General information
adds greatly to the efficiency of the teacher. To obtain
this Mr. W. recommended the reading of the higher class
newspapers Mr. W. said that teachers should, if possible,
attend a Normal School, and thus secure theoretical
knowledge and professional training. Ent as the majority
of teachers cannot attend such schools, they should avail
themselves of the instruction given at Teacher's Institutes,
and supplement it by reading educational books and
journals.
Prof. Raub took up the subject of arithmetic and entered
into an analysis of compound proportion; pursuing his
i:sual mode of instruction by resolving the Institute into a
class. Ile succeeded in symplifying the operation and
giving or rather extracting from the class a lucid explana
tion of the process. The Profussor then treated the sub
ject f interest in a similar manner and with equal success.
The Professor's blackboard exercises were calculated to
• explain the rationale of these arithmetical processes, inde
pendent of the customary established methods of calcula
tion
Mr. J. I. White delivered an address on Mental Science.
Mental Science is of high import to the teacher; it lies at
the root of the art of teaching. The speaker did not in
tend to go into abstracti metaphysics, but rather to show
the practical importance of mental science in the general
business of life, and its special application to the work cf
teaching. lie analysed the mental powers dividing them
into their general heads of thobght, feeling and volition.
Those generalizations he further analysed into their con
stituent elements, dwelling upon some of the elements at
considerable length and explaining their nature and mode
of operation with satisfactory fullness, Mr. W., in the
course of 1113 remarks, made frequent application of the
facts and theories of mental science to the practical bu3l
- of teaching. This subject to be resumed.
Mr. Woodruff resumed the subject of "Teacher's Needs."
A teacher ought not to follow blindly every method of
teaching recommended by advanced educators. A teacher
ought to preserve his individuality and bring the opinions
of others to the test of his own judgment and the test of
experiment. The speaker deprecated the conservation of
hackneyed and monotonous uniformity and recommended
frequent experiment as a means of promoting intelligent
experience. Teachers, robe successful, must haven pro
found sense of the importance of their work, a resolute de
termination to succeed, a real heart-felt desire to do good
and the civilization of the missionary spirit which does
not look upon labors and talents merely as a means of
pecuniary aggrandisement. The neces - !4 of each of these
qualifications was rendered manifest copious illustra
tions and enforced cogent exhortation. The exercises
were interspersed with musical exercises under the super
intendency of Mr. Woodniff.

The one , t ion, •`1)o the permanence nn f.tability of our
institutions depend upon the diffusion of knowledge?"
was discussed . opened by Janes Norris, followed by D. M.
Giles.
Mr. Norris, appropriately waiving the usual prelimina
naries, entered at one, upon (liscussiou of the vital prin
ciples involved in the test. He recalled the political his
tory of Rome, Athena, Carthag-, Venice, France, etc., in
drawing the comparison of the ancient forma of govern
ment with those of the present day—those of the eastern
with those of the western continents. Ile thus effectively
substantiated his assertion: that theforn/ of a go aorn
meat does not ensure its permanence; that the true basis
of successful self-gavernment is the intelligence of its
subjects. The banishment of the Puritans. on account of
liberties they assumed, simply demonstrated that their
minds were far in advance of tiro age. In a republic the
people are the masters—their representatives the servants
of the people, and as the fate of empires—of nations de
pends upon the education of its youth, it is essential that
public education should be the leading characteristic. It
is essential that the people understand the constitution of
their country, and be able to judge whether they are prop
erly or abusively goverened. The old maxim, Vex li pelt
Vox Dei has no force without an intelligent, enlightened
people. He eloquently advocated the liberty of the press
with other liberal measures consistent with a generous
republic. Thus the historical facts which lie cited, in
conjunction with the logical reasoning displayed, firmly
sustained an affirmative to the question under considera
tion, without ally bare assertions on the part of the
speaker.
Mr. Giles considered that knowledge le power and that
its diffusion tends to the prosperity of notions. but he be
lieved that knowledge would not save a nation front des
truction, unless the community becomes permeated with
the principles of the Christian religion, and that the dan
ger to the permanence of our institutions arose from the
educated classes rather than from the uneducated.
Prof. Raub delivered a lecture on Moral Culture. The
lecturer stated that there can be no thorough culture
without moral culture. He disptayed the bad effect of
partial culture which had relation to the intellectual and
physical alone by numerous and opposite illustrations,
and also depicted the bad effects of the carelpsseipas which
exists with regard to moral culture. Moral culture
ought to begin in infancy and ought to he pro

Minntoa of the two preceding nrif , sh,o, real r:.,1
The subject of language wag tahl.ll up by M
ruff. It is very possible for an intelligent forazaer to un
derstand a lan mage better than a bathe, because the
forei- ' ner would study it closely in all its prenliarities
whilst the native, in 7,cneral, is content with the knowl
eego which isata it were, forced upon Lien in infancy and
attained in after intercourse with society and through the
medium of reading. Ambiguity of expies.ion ought bib..
avoided. Ugly, prejudice, etc., were of en used anibir
uously. Numeroua instances were given of the inappro
priate use of words in which the intended idea was ttA.
conveyed. The capability of giving correct verbal defini
tlen,is no evidence of the possession of char ideas with
regard to the meaning of words. The importance
accurate pronunciation was dwelt upon at consolerabie
length. IN evcrthele s, there may be too much, es, of a goo.l
thingand too great precision begets a tEsagrceabla still
neOfi and pedantry.
Professor Raub on "Primary Teaching." Primary teach
ing ought to he from the concrete to the nbstmet. The
observing faculties might to be rnltivated. The Proles‘or's
remarks all tended to cunlirm these principls of primary
teaching.
Mr. J. T. White rciumed the Fubject of Menial Phil,—
°pity. In training the child follow nature. li •gia v. itit
the elements, encourage in it n spirit of emptiry and thre
use of the perceptive powers. First impre, facts upon tie
mind, then teach their appropriate arrangement and cht-s
-ification, finally comes generalization and the delineation
of abstract principles. The preceptive facultic.4 often pro
dominate over the reflective and tire versa. It is t hAr,
ble that all the faculties of the mind should be caltivatorl.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Minutes read and passed. Sir. Woodruff resumed the
subject of language, and continued the consideration of
pronunciation. Lack of attention, want of knowlelge
and careless habit are the principal causes of effort is
pronunciation. The quotation "thy speech betrayeth
thee" is very generally applicable. Manner of speech is
a teat of character—it reveals it. Exacteesa in anything
is a valuable qualification, and is as essential to correct
ness in pronunciation as in other matters. Method of
teaching : Filet teach the elemeuta y sounds, then teach
the notation in the dictionary, and practice thorough
drilling. Have the pupils write down the words they ac
quire, and then let them rep-at the list once a weak.
Encourage criticism among the pupils and let the tetcher
also express his willingness to Kitimat to criticism.
Prof. Raub resumed the consideration of School Man
agement. Training is the principal feature in education.
A teacher might to he scoot! talker. Every tearhershould
understand physiology. A knowledge of this science
would tend to better eentilation and WOUldeOntriblite to the
health and vivacity of the papas. The speaker explained
&system of ventilation which he had found effective and
easy of application. The text book ought to he regarded,
according to its name, as a book of texts, furnishing mat
ter for amplification by the teacher. Keep the pupils
busy, atl the time if possible: Let the primary schools
have a slate and pencil with which they may practice at
drawing imitations of printed letters or even pictures du
ring the intervals of recitation. Short deacons are dealt ,
able, in fact, are essential to thoroughness.
Musical exercise conducted by Mr. Woodruff, Dr.
Greene presiding at the organ.
Mr. J. I. White resumed the stibiect of Mental Science.
Memory may he regarded as the stor,house of the mind
with all its treasures arranged, marked, labelled audready
for use when required. Memory acts by a htw of associa
tion or suggestion Among mtgestive circumstances may
be named, similarity, contrast and the connection between
cause and etrea. The more vivid the impression, the
more lasting. Reiteration is a great sit, to memory.
Clearness of conception is almost a necessary requisite to
permanent rementlinfnee. The speaker succe,le I by an
ecdote and illustration, in rendering the subject, in itself,
somewhat dry and abstract, inter,sting mei entertain
ing.
Mr. Woodruff resamed the sulject of school manage
ment and government. Incidentally he rave seine ex
amples on the backboard, of prevalent faulty prontincia
tiou. The speaker expressed sympathy with embarrass
ment on the part of teachers when undergoing examina
tion. When you don't know a thing say so yet go to the
examination with a determination to show what you do
know, and it will relieve you from embarrasmient. Com
mence school punctually. Read a portion of scripture on
opening the school if there exists no opposition to that
exercise. Suppress noise and restlessness not by vocifera
tion but by calmness or even by steatifett silence on your
own part. Mr. W. gave the following rules for school gov
ernment 1. Have no rules. 2. Learn to wait. 11. Be
have well yourself. 4. Expect good behavior. 5. Show
disappointment at had behavior. 6. Seem not to govern.
7. Study self-central. 8. Study the time of advice. 9.
Govern with much tbeeye. 10. Govern with discrimination.
11. Govern impartially and with adaptation. 12. K,upall
busy. 14. Anticipate crises.
The query box was examined and several qu,tions an
swered.

IG lIT SarS lON
Dr. Wickersham delivered a lecture on "The Common
School System of Peuusylvania." The Doctor based his
preliminary remarks on a quotation from Washington's
farewell address : "In proportion sof the structure of a
government gives force to public opinion, it is essential
that public opinion should be enlightened." The schoof
system of Pennsylvania is founded on the principle that
every child in the State shall receive an education, at lest
in the elements of knowledge. To this every child has a
right--a natural, i nal ienabie right, without regard to sex,
color or nationality. It is a greater cruelty, a greater
crime, to starve a child mentally than to starve it physically.
Compliance with this right is tug interest of the commu
nity and the interest of the State as well as the interest of
the child. Intelligence is required in every organization
partaking of the nature of government, from a township
organization sothat required for tits geverument of the
nation.
It was also the design of the founders of oar
school system to provide for higher instruction, and
Whenever this is practicable it is the duty of School Di.'
rectors to comply with the legal requirements in this par
tienlar by grading the common schools. Our school sys
tem, like our government, is a system "of the people, for
the people, and by the people." It was voted into exis
tence by the people, therefore, it is "of the people," the
whole people partook of its advantages, therefore, it is
"for the people," the people carry out its provisions by
means of Directors of their own selection, and therefore,
it is "by the people." The lecturer was opposed to cen
tralization of power in the management of our soh• els.
It is impossible within any reasonable limits to give
any adequate idea of the wealth of illustration the force
of argument, the eloquence of expression and the Intense
earnestness displayed and evinced during this admirable
discourse; it must euffice to say that it was listened to by
a large and appreciative audience, with an earnest unflag
ging interest.
Adjourned.
This was Directors' day, anti a respectable number-as
sembled in the grandjury room, where several important
subjects were discusted and considerable interest exhibi—
ted in many matters pertaining to the prosperity and effi
ciency of our common schools.
