ber 16th, at 2 o'clock P. il., with the
Preaident, two Vice-PreaidenU and
the Secretary preaenL Immediately
after aeatrublinx, Rer. P. L. llarriaoo,
being called upon Dy the rrciidont,
asked tbo blessing of God to rest upon
onr efforts during the week before us.
The Uloe Club, composed principally
of the young ludios from Miss ilatlie
Swan select school, assisted Oy hiss
Fanny James, then united with the
tcKcbers in sinking tho song entitled,
"Safe within Ibe Vale," alter which
an address of welcome was delivered
by tbe County Superintendent, which
was very ably responded to by Prof.
I. 8. Gcist, of Marrietta, and Mr. L.
W. Berry, a teacher from this county.
The names of the difl'ervnl teachers
present were then enrolled., and the
roll being called, 64 teachers respond
ed to their nntnes ; tbe number bow
ever increasing to 70 during the after
noon. Ibe election of tho two Ice
Presidents was now reconsidered, ou
account of their not' bavins been
chosen by a majority of the members
at tbe last meeting-, and er.er a new
election, war found to be tbe unani
mous choice of the members present.
The President then appointed Mr. A.
W. Mulhollen as Treasurer and Mr.
W. A. Coulter aa Auditor. A commit
tee conkistinff of Mies llattie Swan,
Mirs Clam Barrett, Mr. W. II. Pri
daux, Mr. A. W. Mulhollen and Mr.
B. B. Spuikman was tlion elected on
permanent certificates. Af'.er this,
the Constitution being read by the Sec
retary and tbe song entitled "March
ing On," sung by the Glee Club, tbe

P.M. After adjourning, the executive
committee met and arranged a pro
gramme for the following dny.
IV.MNfl SIBHIOJI,'
Tbe Institute convened st 7 o'clock
P. M , and was opened with prayer by
Kev. II. S. Butler, followed by a piece
of sacred moiio by tbe Glee Club.
Kev. 11. S. Butler then delivered an
address, the subjoct being "Sympathy
between tbe teacher and scholar.
In this address be plainly showed one
of the great reasons why many of our
teachers do not auccood better "there
being no sympathy between tbetn and
their pupils too often trying to show
how much they know and bow little
their pupils know, thus discouraging
them in their effjrls. Mr. Butler Lav
ing at one limo been a lire and activo
teucher, wai able to make his remarks
practicable, and we are glad to know
that they were highly appreciated by
the many teachers prevent. The
Cloarfield Orchestra then favored the
audience with soma fine music, altor
which Hon. G. R. Barrult delivered
an address on "Teachers instructing
their pupils in the observing of the
Sabbath day." In bis remarks he
taledthalif teachers imagine that
their whole duty has been performed
when tbey have devoted tbe requirod
hours of the day to hearing tho usual
lessons of their pupils, how sadly aro
tbey mistaken. To say that their duty
consists in s mere secular education,
ia to tako a very limited view of the
duties and responsiblitiet. of a teacher.
CMIdrpn learn much at school not
rleancd f"m books. Every word
epokea by a toaober makes a lusting
impression upon tlioir young and in
nocent minds. Every word ia treas
ured by them, eithor .'or good or evil.
Webster defines the word Teacher:
One who tcsclies or instructs; an in
structor; a tutor; and he defiues a
tutor to be one who guardx, protects,
watches over, or has tho care of an
other; to have the guardianship or
oars of; to teach ; to instruct, l'bio
gives an enlargod view of Ilia calling
or protession, out a correct anti irum
ful one. To blend with the olhor re
nuirerocnls an idea of correct morals,
propriety of language and babils of
maniy ueanng auu ue'uriniw.ii, aa.i
as time will allow, should be tbe most
sirrecable and pleasant part ol a teach
or's duty. He remarked further, I hut
bis object was to spoil If. of ono crying
evil In tbe hind, and to ask touchers
to reinembor at least this ono thing in
thoi rteaohing, to impress upon young
minds a proper obtervence of the Sub.
bath dav. "I reuret to admit," lie
said, "that tho world il prone more
and more every any to a loss oosorv-enr-e
of the Sabbath. Tho Divine law
makes it a day of reit, and, following
its preoepts, ths slatuto law of Pomi
avlvanla anioins oossation on that day
from all worldly employment." He
added further, Uiat if" Jt were not s
christian duty, ths phyiioal aystora
requires rent from labor. Una day in
ths week is not too much. To the
poor, the Sabbath is entroojally a bless,
ing. It Is their only day of rust ; the
bright spot in their lives; lbs day
thai home And family associations
ulustor around them. A day saored to
the hoart lor the love il fusion, lor

others. It gives tlmo to read, reflect
and think. ' It is one of the great le
vers that dignifies man and exalts his
position. ' It gives lime for the expan
sion of ths mind, to subdue tbe evil
passions and to cultivate love and af
fection one for another. In his con
cluding remarks ho requested the
tesobor, if it a ere within their power,
to impress tboir scholars with tt rev
erence for the Sabbath day and to in
struct them to keep it holy. These
are some of tho thoughts set forth in
bis address. Mr,' Barrett's address

Tbe exeroiies wore opened with
prayer by Rev. A. I. Yocum, followed
by a song from tbs Glee Club. The
audience then listened to an addross
from Hon. Win. Biglor. His theme
was "Tbe Battle ot Life." His ad
dress contained much that was in
structive and truly Amusing. He
treated cduoution as an indispensable
equipmont for Ihs battle of life, And
pressed upon teachers aud pupils the
importance of Laving it complete in
all its branches, And iusialed thai
when perfect education could not be
attained, It was better to acquire one
branch thoroughly than to gain a
smattering of many, and enforced, ths
theory that tbo pupil who desired to
bo a scholar must become persistent
end self reliunU That be could no
mors becorao A scholar, through the
action of others, than he could become
bero by sending a substituts to ibe
army, ilia description of ths "Fust
American,'' who is too impatient to
perfect A trado before bs commences
the study of a profession ; tbe univer
sal encroachment of one clsss upon
another , the raocbanio upon ths pro
fessor and lbs professor upon tbe mo
chsnie, illustrating the wbolo by nl-
luMonnto local Instances, excited great
merriment in the audience, the oI.j,.,.t
being to teach the value of complete
ness in trades and professions. In
describing iho "Bailie of Lite," for
possession, bs warned fill beginners
against the too common error that
large possessions were iudispensablo to
tho true enjoyment oi mo mui mil
lionaires, and they only, are happy
maintaining that happiness in Ibis
line of ths "Bultlo of Life," wss made
up of small triumphs, and that those
who looked to tbo lime of great abund
ance to enjoy life seldom attained to
ihnt end at all. Alter presenting these
few thoughts from Mr. Uiglers ad
dress, wo are compelled for want of
space to omit lbs balance. Aftor this
address, Prof. J. W. bboeraakor road
a number of soiootions, when Prof 1.
S. Goist delivered a lecturo on "Natu
ral History." Ho treated his subject
well, and presented many tscts ol in

M. Burchfield, followed by music from

then Addressed tho Audience. His
subject was "Experience of business
life Applied to practical teaching,"
from which weexiruct the following:
"Last year my proposition was, 'That
governments of men were tbe reflex
of their attainments, and to elevate
men was to olevato their govern
mental standard.' Compulrory meant
to this end sro wrong in such a gov-'
ernment ss ours. We want educated
men, not educated machines. Men
who think sad move, not men who
move bocause tboy tjiink. Our prises
are to be won in tbo war of mind with
matter, and not to bo conquered prov-1
inces and nations humiliated. An
educational qualification to citizen
ship, to take effect a generation hence,
would bs one wise measure to the de
sired end. Teaching errs often in
being superficial. The lesson is so
quired by rote, without the reason
why it is accompanying it Too mucb
is undertaken. Cramming is wrong.
Few lessons, snd hard ones, are vastly
hotter than many lessons by rote,
'.wtihoul thought."' Lessons that sro
bard are more deeply fixed. Ibey
implant application. This Is an es
sential In every business avenue. Il
begols attention to detail, and the
dull man with this beats tho genius
who is without it. It is important to
be con die. To say snd write whsl
you moan. Get rid of superfluous
words, eject tbe adjectives and ad
verbs. Accuracy and vigor to lan
guage in business, are vital wants In
those days. Men by these learn to
think and act promptly, ouch men
succeed. ' Accuracy and conciseness
improve tho perceptive raculliesjiharp-
sn our vision intellectually and aid
us in ths line of our national peculiar
ity, make us what we seem designod
to be, prying, inventive, restless, ever
moving : a people whose mission is,
or seems to be, to advance the cause
of scionce sod to elevate and enlighten
humanity."
After this address, ths Orobestrs
favored ths audience with music, after
which Rov. W. IL. Burcbfiold address

lowing bolng a thort extract from his
address I "Tbo rising generation is

with the first dawn of reason. In its
more extended sonse, the education of
each and every child includes every

in the moulding or that individuals

then delivered tho same Lecture which
he had delivered al Osceola a few
evenings since, Subject, "Paddle your
own Canoe," of , which tho following
sro extracts:
"If a man would enjoy success, be
must Attain il himself. , This is ons of
life's most valuable lessons, becsuso il
is a prinoiplo reaching clear down to
the sources of human action, and
measuring not only the success of the
individual, but also his value as a
member of society sod as a citizen ol
hi country. The wealth or fame
which comes without personal effort
contributes nothing to tho develop
ment o: manhood, xo have any
meaning of this kind, they must have
something about ibeni which reminds
you of the dust of tho anvil, the ring
of tbe axe, or the odor of ths mid
night oil. This lesson is but slowly
learned, though il has been reiterated
by all the history and experience of
Iho past. It is nut vol half under-1
stood by tbe young man who seeks
fame in tho "Ten Pin Alloy," or oonrts
that position in society which a slsv
iib conformity to the latest twist of
ths fashion secures bim.
"Let him carry into society what
ever gives bim worth ss an individual.
It is not so much by what be con
cedes, or agrees not to bo and do, as
by what bo is and docs, that ko con
tributes to tbo welfuro of society.
Let him bo s positive, not a nogative.
"Many boys aro brought up in such
A clinging way that Ihoy aro wanting

curb evil hubits as to entourago every
good purpose, tbnl by its own growth
and power il'iuay acquire tho mas
tery. No boy was ever whipped into
manhood. It lias often bceu tried
and invariably failed. The result has
been a boy lorever. uoys can never
be made men. They can only be as
sisted to inske moo of thcuisulvcs.

the lesson ot his own development
Kaon bubbling brook murmors its

wear wider and koeper lis own wind

roils in il own ceaseless orbit.
"Any system of education, or any
state policy, which docs not entour
ago individual attainment, eventually
works its own defeat. Ths older na
tions groaned under tbo bondage of
such a system and such a policy, and
as a result knew nothing About the
enlarged freedom And nalinnal pros
perity which ws enjoy. Our oounlry
is a proud illustration of the principle
lor which we contend. Tho triumph
of individual, thought And action has
been the glory of our past hislory, as
it is tbo grandeur ol our present pros
perity. It has made us what we are
as a people."
The Orchestra then favored the In
stitute with music, aftor which, Hon.
J. B. McKnally dulivered an addross
on "Uarnostneas, from which we ex.

J. A. Gueqory, President.
Daniel Webster's First Plea.
Ebenczer Webster, father of Daniel,
was u furmcr. The vegetables iu his
gsrdon suffered considerably from the
depredations of a wood chuck, whoso
hold and habitation was near tbe
premises. Daniel, some ten y ears old,
and his brother Ezekiel, had seta trap,
and at last succeedod in catching the
trespasser. Ezekiel proposod to kill
ine animal ana end at oncoun lurther
trouble with bim; but Daniel looked
with compassion upon his meek, dumb
captive, aud offered to lot bim go.
Tbo boys could not agree, and each
appealed lo his futhor to decide the
case. '
"Well, my boys," suid the old gen
tleman, "I will bo judge and you shall
be counsel to plead tbo case for and
against hi liberty."
hzekiol opened the case wub a
strong argument urging tbo mischiev
ous nature ot tbo criminal, the great
harm be bad already done, said that
much lime and labor had boon spent
in bis capture, snd now, If suffored to
go at lurge, be would renew bis dep
redations, and be cunning enough not
to bo caught again, and Inst he ought
now lo Do put to death : that his skin
was ol somo vulue, and that, make the
most of him they could, il would not
repay bail the damage bo bad alreudy
dono. His argument was ready, prac
tical, and lo the point, and of touch
greater longth than our limit will allow
us to occupy in relating iho story.
Iho lather looked with pride upon
his son, who became a distinguished
jurist in bis manhood. '
"Now, Daniel, ill your turn; III
bear what you have got to say."
It was tbe first case. Hamul saw
that the plea ol his brolhor had sensi.
bly affected his fulher, the judgo, and
bis large, brilliant black eyes roslcd
upon the soft, timid expression of tho
animal, and he saw il tremble with
fear in its narrow prison house. His
heart swelled with pity, and ho ap
poulod with eloquent words thut tbo
captive might go free. God, be said,
hud made the woodchuck ; Us mado
bira to livo to enjoy tbo bright sun
shine, tho pure air, tho fields and
woods. God has not mado bim or any
thing in vain, Tbo woodchuck hud
a much right to livo as any other
living ibing; bo wus nol a destructive
animal, like the wulf ; he simply ato a
few common vegetables, of which tbey
bad plenty, and cuuld well spuro a
part; he destroyed nothing except
tbo little rood be ale lo sustain bis
humblo lifo; and thai little food was
as necessary to his existence as wus
lo them tho lood on their mothers
table. God furnished their own food.
He gave them all they possessed, and
would ibey not snare a little for a
dumb erealuro who really had as
much right to his small share of God'
bounty as they thoiusolvcs had to
their portion f Yea, more ; the ani
mal had never violated tho law of bit
nature or tho luws of God, as man
often did, but strictly followed tho
simple instincts he had received from
tho hands of tho Creator of all things.
Created by God's hands, ho had a
right from God lo food, to liberty, and
they had no right to deprivo him of
either. Ho alluded lo tbo mute bul
earnest pleadings of the animnt for
that lifo, as dear to bim as wore their
own, and tbe judgment they might
expect, if ineelHuh cruelty and cold
beartednoss tbey look tbo life they
could not restore again.
During the appeal the tears had
ilnrtcd in the old man's eyes, and
woro fust running down his sunburnt
chocks. Evory feoling of a f.ithor'e
heart was stirred within him, and he
fell that Gad hud blessed him beyond
tbe lot or common men. His pity was
awakunod by tho eloquent words of
compassion and ibe strong appeal for
morcy ; and lorgetiing tne judge in
tbo man and the fulher, ho sprang
from bis chair (whilo Daniel was in
tho midst of his argument, without
thinking he had alreudy won his cnse
und turning lo his eldest ion, dushod
the tears from his eyes, ho oxclaimcd :
"Zeko, Zoko, you Id that woodchuck
go."

,, Dancing Yiewedi Historically.?!
Tho Romans performed only sacred
dances st first, and regarded all oth
ers as degrading. Romulus Is said ta
huve Invented ino first war aauco, ante
N u ma instituted ths ordor of the Sulii,
whoso occupation it wus lo dnoco
around Iho altars of tho god Mar. A
time caiac, bowevory whon the Ro
mans departed from their primitive
rigorousuess, running Into tbo other
extreme, tbey honored dancing as ons
of tho most ennobling arts ; tiicy evou
treated favorite public dancers iu a
mannor befitting groat men or sover
eigns only. The first converts to
Christianity being still imbued with
their pagan cusloms,)introduced danc
ing into their now form of worship.
Large companies of mun and women
were in Iho habit ol going out in tho
deserts (o purlicipule iu rclitiiou oero-'
monies, which lu.iinly ouiisiNiod of
wild; fur.lnstic dances. Those having,
in time, become rather too licentious,
wero prohibited by tho ecclesiastical
authorities. Tho exact date of its re
vival is not known, but it seemed lo
huve como In favor at tho time of tbu
murriago of Idabel, ot Arragon, to
Uuluazno, tho Duka of Milan. Culb
criuo do Medici wus the first to bring
ballets und bulls into fashion, and
thenceforth their popularity slcudily
iucretised, und dinning bocuiue a re
fined pustimo. Iu 1W1, Louis tbo
XVI, founded an acadomy of duncing,
the- raembar ot which, thirteen iu
number, wcro yoleclod from among
tho bcal dancer in thw kingdom.
Until Ihu year 1G71', oallel dunoera
never appeared on tbo stage without
being masked. After leave had been
givcu them onco or twice lo appear,
on special occasions, without their
masks, they were finally allowed to
discurd th cm entirely. In connection
with Ibis, it may not be amiss lo stale
that women were for a long time ex
cluded from tbu bullet, and tbo tirn
wbo vonlurcd upon the stago in the
capacity of dancers were regarded
with conleinpl.' Tho ever delightful
walls, contrary lo tbe German belie),
is not of Gorman origin. It was ex
tromeiy popular in Franco towards tbe
tbirleeuth century, und became known
in Germany only after thai period. It
popularity was soon established in all
countries, despite of tho prejudice aad
objections raised against it. Tbe
Sulks was brought from the forests ol
tungary in 1740, and created quite a
sensation. Everything was dono in
polka fashion ; there were polka bats
and polku dree goods ; polks jewelry
and polku trimmings. Shortly alter
the polka bocamo popular hero, or
about the lime Mr. Polk was elected
to tho Presidency of the United
Stales, and, owing to the somewhat
singular coincidence, many supposed
tbo new dance was named after him,
or in his honor. . The scholtischo and
mazouika cumo next in vogue, and
from that time fancy dunces multiplied
rapidly, inuny of them going oul of
fashion before the end of a month.
Tbey Should "Look at Home."
It has become quito apparent that
our judges aud lawyer are very sun
si livo lo newspaper strictures and crit
icism and thai tboy aro ready, when
ever opportunity offers, lo punish edi
lorial offenders against our libel laws
to tho fullest extent authorised by
those unjust and unwise eiiactmonls.
But, whilo tboy thus evince each a
high regard for tho character of per
sons criticized by tbu newspapers,
they appear to believe it perfectly
proper to assail Iho character of Wit
nesses in Court, however ropulublu,
when it is doomed necessary to cast
discredit upou their testimony. At
torneys aro permitted by the Judges
to act most outrageously in this res
pect, and tho injured witness has no
chance for redress, nor can ho or she
resent iho outrage without being ad-
j judged guilty of conU'iupl, and impris
oned. And attorneys ure allowed to
brow-boat and insult witnesses, in all
cases, to their heart's content, the
judges quietly poriniiling theiu lo dut
ao, as though a witness were a criuu-
nul buloru tbe touvl. Yt o insist that
attorneys, especially prosecuting at
torneys should reform ibsmsolrvs in
this particular, before reading any
more lectures to editors. So long as
they slander and poruiit te bs slan
dered rospcclubiu cilizons who are
compollod lo attend court as witnesses,
and who really aro entitled to as re
spectful treatment as the judges them
selves, those judicial and legal offend
era shold bold their peace ss to lbs
conductor of the publia press.- ,
Tho Uarrisburg Mate ournilspeak
ing on this suhjuct, says: "However
extreme many of our contcmporarves
hsvo been, and still are, in this intem
perate indulgonco, ibey bavo yet to
go a long way further to come up with
'.ho licuuai) and licentiousness uf lan
guage used toward individuals by the
legal profession, when before a jury."
It further says : "There is scarcely an
attorney at any bai in the Stale but
bat shamofully villilied the characters
of men and women whoso testimony
it was necessary to brenk down iu
order to save a guilty client from a
cell, or convict an innocent tlefendunt
to appease a hardhearted purauor;"
and then arks: "Why should at
torneys enjoy lbs Immunity of blun
dering good mon nnd wonicnf" and wo
repeal tho question and ask another:
What would ihcso men think snd do
if personal slanders, such as they per
pel rate against unoffending and re
putable witnesses, wcro printed sgainsl
themselves!' Those ovcr-sonsltivo per
sons should "look al homo" und con
sider the virtuous churucter of tbeir
own houses before they cast any mors
stones at editor.
