JOURNAL & ITEM: On a certain cv. ning hist week, the stage from Port | Allegany left at one of the stores in ti wn a iinall box addiess d to t e linn. Win n a little hss busy, the eh rk opened it and took out a very tine si!v r cream cup. One of the proprietors su ing it, <•' told him to j nit it bark and close tlie j box, reiiuuking "we will hear more froin this." Last evi ning word was given tiuit sa.id box was to be delivered to J. W. Allen, Esq., Co. Supt., and it was sent to his house. The messenger found Mr. Allen going to his barn, called iiiin back and told him he had a b< x for him. Mr. Allen said, "will. I will set it down here by the fence and take it to Hie house when I come from tlie barn." The young man suggested that it might be a little valuable. "Well," lie says, "I will take it to the house now." The in- sse ng. r accompa nied him and when the box was opened a very nice silver te.;-S' t came to light. : The set consisted of four pieces: a tt a- P< t. creamer, sugar-bowl and slop-bowi. On one side rf each piece was t ng. avi d: "To Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Allen" and on the reverse side: " Prom the Teacla rs of Potter County, October is, 1873." Mr. and Mrs. Allen expressed their.sur prise more by looks and actions than by words. They said they w. re very'giati - fill, and Mr. Allen remarked he did not j know what he /en/ or had <>> t done to cause this. Your corn spoi d. lit sug gested that most likely what lie had not done was the cause. Yours, M ESSE N OUR. : ON* Saturday morning last F. W. Plagem.m, of Ivihl M V ill-, arose and built a tire, after which he returned to his bed while his wife prepared the breakfast. When uivakfast was ready, 1 Mrs. Plageman sent one of the diildren | to call her husband, when he was found j lying on the floor in front of the lied — : dead. lie had apparently arisen to j dress himself and fallen dead to the floor. Mr. Plageman w;is a tanner and \ well known in till this section of coun t ry. / lb üben Card, Sr., one of the oldest j settlers of this county, died in Roulct ] on Friday or Stit unlay last.,/We have| not heard the exact jKirtictdars, but it J is reported that he worked until three j o\ lock on Friday afternoon and died t; at night or the next morning. And still another: On Friday, Oct. 31. U73, in Bingham died Charles X. Woods, ag* d 86. lie was one of the first to s I tie in Bingham township. THE Blossburg r tells this sto ry of "Dutch Iov:" "A young Teuton , of this place recently brought home his fair bride, n sph ndent in a true-blu* -uit. but t; e sober second thouglit ot it'ie expeiisivcm ss of such a luxury in duced 1-tin to offer her heart and I'iii.d to a fellow countrymati who bails from Potter county; and "Barkis being wil ling." li-iy re]iaired to the house of a Herman learned in t! e law. w oda w up a <[!< /-• n't.i '/•-/• /, ai d for a con.siib r atiou of live d diars, tw. lity live cents , down and an approv il note for the bal ance), the lady transferred her affec- 1 1ions to the gay Lothario and retired with him to her new home." Y Wr; hid an idea that this y< ar, owing to the ravages of TIII ugly worm, there was not a cabbage of rese ctable s Z" in Potter county. We attended the fail of tlie agricultural society and then was not one on exhibition. Judge then of our sui prise when Mark (Jillon, Esq.. the tailor of the "little shop around the corner, '* presented us with two its tine | heads of cabbage as we l ave seen for years. Maik says they are tailor's cab bages, which perhaps accounts for their 1 size. THE following, lrotn the Trumans liurg Sentiml is to tlie point: Do the; city papers say anything in regard to! your own county V Nothing. Do they j contain notices of your schools, church- j ts. lie 11 ings, impi ov un nts, and himd | nds of other local matters of interest, j v. hich your pajjers publish without ]>av'( j Not an it m. Do they ever say a wo'id j calculated to draw attention to your count v alid its numerous thriving towns i and aid in tin ir progrt ss and enterpris*'( \ Not a line. And yet there are tnui who take such con ti acted views of this liiiit ter, that, unless they are getting as many square inches of reading matter j in tin ir own paper is they do in a city j pa|>er. they think they are not getting the worth of their money. This re j minds us of the person who took the largest pair of boots in the box simply j bet ause they cost the same as the pan j much smaller that tilted him. WE SAW a ring formed by a numlier ! of.boys and two little fellows inside of j the sajue pommeling each other lustily j one day last wetk. While wegs.ztd in wonder, one of the teachers of the gnuh d school appearr d upon the set lie and in less than two minutes not a boy 1 was to lie seen. We don't know which whipiK'd. TIIE Jamestown House, Jamestown, N. Y., is one of the liest appointed and ; l>est conducted hotels with which we are acquainted. It is kept by our old friend, Walt Joy, formerly traveling agent for an extensive house, who appears just as much at home in the reception room as 111 H >ii the road. His partner, Mr. Chamberlain, is also a gentleman of the tirst water, and we advise all of our friends who have occasion to visit Jaua s town, to make the acquaintance of the propi it-tors of the Jamestown House. Mr. Joy has many friends in this sec-' tion who will le pleased to hear of him through the above item froui the Olean Strni-Weekly Times. ' M ELLSBORO was visited by a large fire on Thursday morning, October ~3. The block from the Wellsboro Hotel I (including the same) to Crafton Street j was entirely destroyed. A large share of the contents of the buildings was saved. It was undoubtdly the work of :m incendiary, as the floor of the build ing where the fire was firßt discovered was saturated with coal oil. It is a mere matter of time as to when our j block from Second to Third stret ts on Main will go, but we IIOJK? it in. y not j lit' from the kar.d of an incendiary. OF ALL the daily papers that come to our table, we like none better than the Buffalo K i rtss and Klmira .1- /rer.

Charles Lamb wrote one of his finest essays on Hit nimble tsdlow-eai.tlle. The one on Hit table n mil tit tl the speaker of the times w en lie went "boarding round." lit brought it out to illustrate the first topic of his lecture: 'J'he itit.l of frcxh air. —The earth is cl >thcd more beautifully than any bride for tlie akar. Around and above is the atmosphere, so delicate that we see all this beauty through it and yet so strong t. at JIS to come in dying winds, sweep ing away impurities; it conies to our doors ami windows and says, "let me in." in liltle rooms, seven by nine, many hu man D ings spend eight hours out ol the ; twenty-four. The doors and windows are often corked to shut out the sweet 1 air. No wonder the morning finds them ' with dull headaches. Such places are j living graves, where the inmates die by I inches. The candle was then placed in ajar : containing gases, where it was instant ly extinguished—not enough oxygen be ing iui nishid to support tlie flame. The ; same was true when the jar was filled witii breath from the lungs. We have no right to ask others to breathe the air i that we have thrown awav. It is like going from Broadway down into the slums —tlit re disease is in the air; first, thick lit juledness, then the worst of all fevers creeping on lazily but fatally. There are days when the air is dull,' children in the school-room are dull; let i in the fresh air and tliey brighten up : wonderfully. lu-od.- The seal is the appropriate food of the North; it is only frozen fat. We who live iu a tenqierate climate can not hear too much fat meat; it induces I diseases of the skin. The scholar and | tliii kiT n quires lighter food than the laborer. Americans take too little time I for eating. The speaker had seen a traveler at a railroad station, taking his pie :it a mouthful; if he laid lsmglit a ; cracker for si cent and eaten it properly it would have been more nourishing. Cookery is a necessary art; it belongs to civilization. He liatl read "Lt>! the poor Indian, etc.," and thought it sub lime, but all sentiment vanished when lie saw them preparing a woodchurk for a least. They are called a liardv nice. It is false, since only a few* attain to years of maturity. Clotiiimj. —The human system, espe 1 cially in our climate, needs protection.

A lecturer, speaking upon the : evils of tight dressing, closed Ins lec ture preinatun ly iiecansc of the pair of No. 8 feet in No. 0 boots. Street sweeping is ail evil in dress. A lady might be followed by her trail in ; the dust of tie streets. Dress should ! be warm, strong and easy. Another source of health is exercise. Tliis should not be too violent. Over work is as bad as under-work. The brain depends for its vigor upon the health of the body. If one wotil 1 have n mind enduring, cheerful and active, j he must watch for the health of the 1 body. After Prof. Jones. Superintendent Curry was intn dueed to the audience. i We regret that we can give few of the • | thoughts and nothing of the language i | that rendered his speech strong and vig- i ■ ' irons. The subject was K iucalinn — i i Gain-ill (hid Special. The distinction 1 is the same as that of pure and mixed j j mathematics. The former is abstract, | ' disciplinary,—'the latter is applied. Iron j I is fust improvid in quality and though I | not yet made useful it is adapted to use—afterward it is fashioned to suit I particular purposes. There is great 5 need of special education; one cannot do i every thing, and what we do should be done well, but general education lies at | the foundation. Tla re is plenty of work for those who | can do it properly, while the inefiicient j are loft i<lle. One pastry-co k command-1 d four thousand ay ear while hundreds ( ! of others lack employment. Success is the result of special prepa- > ration. It is the real and not the would ; in- sculptor that leaves his name as a heritage to his country —an honor to the race. Although the audience had listened too long and too earnestly to get the full hem lit of litis latter speech, yet the ma jority seemed to value its sound instruc tion. The evening's entertainment closed with two fine selections read by Mrs. Martin: "Our Polks" and "Gape Seed." 'fur K-DAY, A. M. —Session opened by Hi v. Mr. Stili s, with prayer. Mr. Jones gave some instructions in instructions in thee h in ntsof Drawing. 1-4 law—th arm should always be in ; j jKisition at right angles to the line to be drawn.ffaM —a measure should be adopt ed—as he illustraU dindi aw ing the map of Pennsylvania. 'i h' following question was offered for so ution: llow many times did the ; artli revolve on its axis in the year 1 ->11': \ —1 ft for eonsid ration. I'd/. C'u -r/. —Tt is diiUjult to know what method of instruction is best adapted to a com jr.my of strangers. A physician, of an original mind, filled a jar with all sorts of medicines, and when a new (lis; ase broke out, not knowing w hat to select, he administered a dose from the compound. Supt. Curry was like the man who al ways "said a few words before he began to speak." He introduced his subject by calling attention to the fact that every fruit, every vt getable has its own peculiar characteristics widen make it what it is. So the individual—no mat ter what he may assume. Tne true reader of human natiue detects the qualities of mind and heart that make the character. What one really is. that will have the control ing influence. He who would mould other beings sholild have a faultless character, almost. It is always one's cdcal that controls. 1 The spring lis s no higher than its source. So, men never supercede their ideal; all action is only its outgrowth. If we cherish no ideal we reach no dt fi nite end. If it be low or wrong the re sults of our work maybe unfortunate; if right, the work may IH* glorious, no matter how humble. The true ideal must coincide with Nature: we cannot work against her laws. Suppose a machinist were to assume that bodies fall from the centre of the 1 earth outward and make their machinery | upon that supposition; it would fail. So in teaching. A man may go to his study and there manufacture a method of his own. It cannot be a success un less it lie according to Nature's plan, j Page's theory of beginning with the nearest locality, as the school-room or play-ground, is unnatural. We get our ideas from a logical whole. Childrt n always observe the whole thing before investigating the parts. An orange or j a flower impresses them as an interest ing whole before they are interested to examine the seeds of tlie one, the leaves and stamens of the other. ; After a necessary preparation in terms, j relative distances, etc., Prof. Curry; would begin the study of Geography with a globe and give the child a con ception of the whole roui d earth and of its linivi uieuts through space. Theglotn* gives an idea of convexity—the map, in directly, of a fiat surface. We never get rid of these impressions though we know the earth to IH* a sphere. Tiiej teacher should reason from the whole to the parts ami illustrate all bus teach- ? ing by something that will fix the eye of the pupil while he explains. We rare ly forget what we see and hear at the s.ime time. One instm-tnr, with nmch display of learning, takes up the parts of some rare foreign plant and talks eloquently of their beauty or their office, but the class, having never set u tli<- flower, get no com ceptlon of it. Another,"with less cul ture. up 1- " ts i: in t : eir presence. It is pl< a sing—a thingof beauty—and it gives them j<\v; they are eager to know more of it. lie takes it to pieces, shows them tla* uses of its organs and the relations of each to the whole, and they compre hend more of it than they would have learned under the other in a million years. Mrs. Marvin resumed her work with her class and gave them a few plain rules for their use in teaching: I. Ob • lige pupils to study the lesson. 11. Prac tice vocal gymnastics, or the utterance of vowels in different ways. 111. Re quire correct j renunciation, placing the ; most diflieult words on the board, prop erly divided into syllables. IV. Require pupils to define those words. V. Call for the recital of the story before read ing. with books closed. VI. Read like talking. VII. Determine the quality of voice required, according as the piece to be read is joyous, sublime, reveren tial,etc. VIII. Determine the standard time. IX. The standard pilch. X. An alyze the first stanza. XI. Read accord ing to tlie rules and in a natural man ner.
