ThU dUtrlet U com prised et the townships et Bart, Paradise, Badabnry and Salisbury, and Ita teaehers have sstabllehed a reputation for holding very antettalnlng yearly meetings. The balmy weather, line condition of the reads, and bright .moonlight et Friday evening oentrlbnted mueh toward filling the large and spacious auditorium et the onuren wim .a apiKeciaiive nuuience hj hear tbe delightful eloeutlonary and musical cutertalnmeut given by Mtaa Amanda Lander, et MUlerevllle State Nermal school, and the Philharmonic Quintette, et Gap. The quintette la com cem com pewd et Gea W. Orenderf, 1. F. Sentmen, Dr. A. G. B. Patke, H. K. Bhertz and H. H. Hamllten.Thfl selections rendered by Itwore followed by long conllnued spplause. The recitation delivered by Mlsi Lsndes were carefully selected end well adapted te her fine eloeutionary powers. The blghenconml blghencenml urns passed en all sides were Indicative et the satisfaction he gave te all present. When Miss It, Lizzie Wise, the presiding effteer, called the inatltnte te order at 0 o'clock Saturday morning, forty toaehora were proaent and about one-half the pews et the church were oceuplod. The exer clecs et the forenoon were opened by alog aleg lng tbe national anthem, "Amer lea," alter whleh devotional services were oenduoted by Re?. David Andersen, of Ooteraro U. I. cunreh. The chetr ning " The Little Biown Church," nud tills vas followed by a discussion en "Busy Werk, Intreductug Manual Training' openod by Knv, David Andersen, whoex wheex whoex preesed himself aa glad that we have entered a generation In which work la assuming a higher standard. Many of our professional men of te day ewo much of their succeta 1m llle te early manual training. Tticre linn liccu n sad fault In our public schools, iuklug a iiureery of thorn. Parent tend tielr children te school te get rid of thein ut home, wliheut giving a thought an te hew their wlud Hiieuld be enseged whtle tnore. We want te advance a step higher by providing fcenutblng te awaken the child's inlud te Its greatest activity. Let ua have n Bhed back of every soheol bouse.20 feet In length ; nreund the aides have bonehes provided with tools of different Mudt, and there, during the play hour, learn the child that there are such things as plane rurfacc?, flat edges, BOglcs and clrelCH. Every township should have at leas: ene grammar school, 83 it were, of manual training, where tbe beve may take up the higher branches of etn struotlen. The speaknr nlated many otiseivatloaa made by hltciilf during visits te the principal soheola of manual training In the United Btates and criticised the manner in whleh the publle school are managed by the majority of soheol beards. Mlsa Sadle Bes, Paradise, read a well prepared paper en " Busy Werk," giving many geed metheds te keep pupils of the primary grade from becoming restless in school hours. Children should be enoour eneour enoeur aged te make original designs from different materials, as it cultlvetes tbe taste and the power et observation. MIsb Mathilde Oelnn, of Mllleravllle Nermal school, contended that It is almost impossible te apply the terin manual training te any particular braneh, for psnmRnahlp, indus trial drewlng and clay medelling may be considered an such as well as the funda mental principles of the dinsrgnt trades. It Is of mero value te the ehlld te dlsoever by actual oxperlcnco what laasquare, an angle, circle and se en than te obtain It by memorizing arule or definition. The idea of introducing manual training into our soheols la net te fit the pupils ler the trades, but te glve thorn that culture which will eventually bone lit thorn In their ether studies. B. Hunseoker, Paradise, nud Bev. An An dereon continued the dltoueelen at come length, after JWhleU a ueloetlon was sung by thelnsiltute. A roeltatlon followed entitled, " Lsgcnd of the Orgin Builder," by Miss Mary Lewis. The choir sang "Spring," and then Mies Mathilde Ceffln gave a class drill with a number cf pupils from the Qsp pri mary school as subjects. The children were provided with books, and altar n number of them had read a tolectlon, Miss Oelnn, by mduotlve teaching, demonstrated very clearly bow easily the poreeptlvo powers of the ehlld can be cultivated, showing the Importance of selecting lessens which may awaken a deslre In the mind of the child ler farther knewledge of the snbjeet.whlch may be Imparted by the teaoher. Alter the eierclEca the lady gave the teachers many excellent metheds In teach ing readlng, and explained hew the branehea of hlatery, geography, arlthmetle and spelling may be taught In connection with It. The next feature of the pregramme was exercises by the Gap soheols. Frem Mlsa Anna M. Wiee'a primary school, Samuel Heishey recltcd, "Homceopathlo Soups;" Geerge Lyle, "The Bey's Complaint;" and eight little girls sang a motion song, " Old Tlrue Pleys. " Miss Bessie S. Butter, of the tecendary school, reolted "The Wreck of the Hesperus ; " Maud S. Eckert, "An Inventor's Wife;" and May Tedd, "The Three Copseks. " The pupils per. formed their parts well and received liberal applause. Mr. Ktbonsbade, Paradise, opened the discussion, "De Crltlelsms Injure our Schools ?" The speaker believed that a great deal of injury Is dene in tbe primary schools by the teaoher being tee severe end exacting. Yeung pupils should always be criticised In a mild manner. Criticisms coming from three who are uneJucated and knew nothing of our soheols eme times have an annoying eUect upon tbe teaeher, but they cannot be oenaldered Injurious, es adverse criticism can net injure anything of inerir. Liberal orltl erltl orltl e ami of our schools have accomplished mueh In elevating their moral tone and bringing abent aamolet tbe greatest Im provements of tbe age. Alter the gentle man finished his remarks me institute adjourned until alter dinner. Nearly every scat in the church was oeoupied when the institute reconvened at S o'clock. The exercltea were opened by music, "February" by the choir, after which the discussion en criticisms of our soheols was taken up again. Ames L. Eaby, Salisbury, dlscusied the question, at great length, and advanced some very atreDg arguments. The spesker held that II the work et the teacher Is net criticised occasionally be will often drift lute habits IbaVwlll preve detrimental te tbe progress et the soheol. Tbe antagonists spirit dis played by se many patrons te tbe teaeblng of English grammar wm deprecated and the fault finding propensity et ethers denounced. J. Butter Worst e&ld he was meat decided ly e! tbe opinion that criticisms are a benefit te ear pnblle aehoeW, provide they an et the kind that erlUelaa, aad aw aseda at the proper tlaae and Im am appropriate aaaamer. MevMieaU for the giaataai nferaaa that have ever bee lnstltated la the publle sehoela of PMneylva&la have ealy fceea breaght abent by violent agBMlea et the nbjMt and effeeUva erltlelsaa et old melhede la TOfna.

The sentlmenta of the speaker were Indorsed by Mlsa Lldle Clark, Salisbury, who spoke forcibly of the Idle erttleUma that are passed upon the publle aoheol and Ita teaeher, by the crowds that assemble In the country atone, hotels and ahepa, J. F. M.Koeh thought criticisms were a positive Injury te our aahoels. The reason se few make teaching their chosen pro fession la en account of the criticisms whleh are constantly fired against them. . The dlicusalen was closed by the' presi dent, who announced an address by the Ket. Jehn McCoy, of Bellevue Presby terian ohureh. Bev. McCoy 'a address was short, spley and te the point. Among ether things he said it there is any man or woman in this oemmnnlty who thinks that he or ahe owns the teaeher of enr publle schools, that's just where he or she Is mistaken. The pnblle soheols are in stitutions of the stste and are operated by it. The teachers are employed by the state te educate its boys and girls se that they will net beoeme nuliances, and have te be fed at the publle crib, Onr soheols are es tablished for four objects, and these are te teaeh our ehlldren te knew hew te think; te work ; te behave ; te leve their country. These are the things whleh the state has founded their schools for. The elate pro tects herself against nuisances through them. The Ignorant are the meat upon whleh the intelligent feed. Meney will net make brains bnt It requires brains te make money. Beys mast be made te think. Teach a boy te read, te speak and te write the English language Intelligently, and from ttist he will receive culture and mental discipline enough te enable him te oompro eompro oempro hnd the rest. The way te learn te talk correctly Is te talk. The best thing te toaeU a boy la hew te make his living. Learn him te earn hta own bread and butter and te keep himself out of the peer house. The state asks Ita teaehera te Incul cate principles of morality Inte the minds of the young. It teaches aa net te keep the boy out of hell, but te keep hell out of the boy. It further expecta us te Inspire the boy with an undying love for its country. The matter with the United States te-day la It has the dyspepsia. It la enable te masti cate and digest. A diagnosis of the case shows that the trouble arises from a lack el love for the Union. The election of. effleera for the ensuing year was then held, resulting as fellows : President, Eva Carter, Badsbury; vice presidents, EmmaSkllea, Salisbury; Ada Boekoy, Bart; Mr. Esbenahade, Paradise, Ada Simmons, Badsbury; recording secretary, Clara Balr, Paradise; correspond ing secretary, Mama Pownal), Sadabury; treasurer, Lldle Clark, Salisbury. The next meeting of the Instltute will be held at Christiana. After the result of tbe election bad been ouueunced, the third and last discussion en the pregramme, " The Meral Tene of Our Schools," was epened by J. B. Hnn Hnn seeker, who pointed te the Importance et Instilling Inte the minds et the young principles el morality. The eUlolenoyof any soheol is tested by its results In moral character, and hence ita central aim should be cflectlve moral train ing. It has been said as our schools are, our people will be ; for the school is a miniature world, and reflects the vices and faults of the larger world. Charoetor Is a plant et strong growth, and tee often the elevating Influences of the soheol room are hindered by outside influences. The moral tone of the soheol can be elevated by eflectlve discipline and teaching; contrasting right with wrong, and unselfishness with solUsbness; awakening the moral sensl. bllltlcsand cultivating them. The most potent factor In all moral training Is the teaeher. He forma character by the force of superior character, and bis deportment presents In a conerete way the beat leaaena that can be given te the pupils. Jehn Hurtmsn, Bart,and Prof Bobertson, et Oslorare academy, followed with very able discussions of the theme, after which a number of interesting exercises were given by the Buyerstown school. Mies Mathilde Ceflln made her second appearance before the Institute at four o'clock, and delivered a very interesting talk of forty minutes en "Instruction." Sbe dwelt upon the importance of cultivat ing self control In children, so'es te enable them te uae their banda when they should and te bridle their tongues when necessity required It. Education without moral training Is a sham. Teachera should endeavor te educate the feelings or their pupils, and lead them te discriminate between right and wrong. There la no sueh a thing as a geed school where there Is low morality. The school that aenda out boys and girls who are net educated in self control Is a failure. The ronldltien of a pretty selection by the choir was followed by a recitation, "The Convict's Christmas Eve, " by Miss Emma Passmore, after which the reports et the various committees were made and the institute adjpurned. Dr. Samuel User, of Beading, delivered his lecture, "Heme Influence," te a slim audience en Saturday evening. Will Threw Dp Ita Contract. The action of the Philadelphia k Beading railroad In carrying the goods et the United States Express oempauy ever Its New Yerk line as special freight has se disgusted the Adams Express cempsny, which has had a contract with the Beading for exoluslve express traffic, that it was announced en Mendsy that the Adam people had decided te threw up the con tract. The change will be made en Wed neaday, and the United States company will take up the business. m EoKblea aad III.

Tbe reported sale of 2,000 cues of '87 Pennsylvania bread leaf waa simply a hoax, as there Is net a paeker in the market who holds 2,000 case of bread leat We have seen quite an extensive let el samples of the new Connecticut Havana aeed.

We learn from Bremen that the new crop of Brazilian tobaeoo haa turned out fully ss peer as predicted, beside being an extraordinarily amall one. Under sueh elrcumstanees our expert business In seed leaf must beoeme a very flash one, and our peer seed oreps will find plenty of custom er for the European markets. Prem the Tobacco Leaf. The sced leat market affords te day a smaller assortment et domestie leat than at anytime during the past ten years, and tbe old accumulations have been absorbed te sueh an extent thatmanufaeturersaiebelng educated te higher price;, and nre willing te take what Is offered. The market for the past week has been generally quiet, very little tobaeoo having changed bands. Nevertheless, the inquiry for old Onondaga still continues, and It seems that this tobaeoo is one of the few kind which haa se readily found buyers throughout the year. We are Informed that there It a great deal of "looking " ever the new orep in the several tobaeoo-ralslng districts, bnt very little is being bought up. We will prod let a late season for buying the weed. As we go te press we hear et a sale of 2,000 eases et '87 Pennsylvania bread leaf by a leading Water atreet packer te a Jobber. In Sumatra business Is booming. The sales for the week approximate GOO bales. If trade continues aa brisk aa it new 1 the supply of Sumatra geed, bad and In dlflercnt will net last until the new goods arrive; but this ean hardly be expected. The duty outs a very amall figure when the goods are found te suit buyers. There Is considerable reappraising being dene by the new examiners en recent importations, and mere delays are the result. The business in Havana transacted se far this month hss fallen below that for the same time in January, but we hear of some large sales pending, which, if consummated, will bring the volume of business up te thst of last month. A elty Jobber has made an offer for the entire stock or one of our largest Importers ; and aa there are only a few cents difference between them en price, there is a geed chance of the aale being effected.

The grade et the bulk sold has been binders, from common te best, while new and then a prime article of wrapper finds a willing purchaser. The truth Is, wrappers would Bell if they are what 1b needed. Prices are firm generally, except old flllers, whleh have beoeme scarce and show a decided Improvement In figures.
