And now ho rests from his labors. AUCTION HALKK. —No display of beau tiful Christmas presents made in this town during the holiday season was so much ad mired as those at tho jewelry store of F. P. Itlair. Their beauty and variety caused many persons to almost break the Tenth Commandment. Although many were disposed of, Frank has still a large stock on hand, and has determined to sell them off at such prices as the people will give. Next Monday afternoon, thereforo, nt 2:30 o'clock, he will commence an auction sale at his store, and will continue it in the evoning at 7:30 o'clock.

He has made Gettys burg a study ever since it became historical ground, is thoroughly familiar with every point of interest in the great struggle, and, with the aid of large maps and charts, will make all clear to the understanding of the audience. Every one who desires to know all about Gettysburg hear this lecture, and we therefore trust tho court house will be crowded on the occa sion of its delivery. —Homer I\ Cope, at the Court House to-night. The entertainment will lie a rarely pleasing one, and will give the ut most satisfaction. Mr. Cope is a gentle man of great versatility and has a wide reputation. We bespeak for him a full house and for the Knights of Pythias a rousing benefit. The Bellefonte Orchestra, which gave so much satisfaction at Mrs. Love's entertainments last week, will be present to enliven the exercises of the eve ning wiih some of its choice selections of music. m —On Tuesday afternoon we had a pleas ant call from P.

Jenks. Ho U a staunch Democrat of the old school. and an affable and intelligent gentleman. We understand he U looking after real estate, and ahould he auil himaelf we could gladly bid him welcome to our county aa a citizen. —Mr. and Mra. B. F. Hunter, of Bon ner township, met with a sjd loa* in the death of their little daughter, Florence Emms, last week, from dipthpria, that dreadful scourge of children. She was sick but a short time, and everything pos sible was done to save her life, but all to no avail. To the bereaved parents and family in their sorrw wo extend our sin cere sympathy. —We regret to hear of the suddpn death of Mr. Jacob Neese, Sr., an old and re spected citizen of Gregg township, on Friday last from a stroke of paralysis. The attack came in the morning about nine o'clock and death followed at about half-past eleven. C*p to that morning the deceased had been in his usual health. Thus "in the midst of life we are in death." His age was about sixty-five years. —The arrangement of the confectionery in the window of S. A. Brew & Son's store is very beautiful. Brew ha* sold an immense amount of candy during the past year. But hi* sale* of candy correspond with his sale* of other articles, and one groat secret of his success is that ho know* how to arrange hi* goods in an attractive and inviting form. —We understand that at what it known as the Bush ore bank, on the property of B. P. Uuntar, in Benner township, a heavy vein of flne pipe ore has been found, It was struck after passing through a sis feet vein of wash ore, and is regarded aa an important and valuable discovery. Two fine specimens of this ore have been placed upon our table by Mr. Hunter. —Mr. John Potter, of Victor, lowa, a brother of Mrs. C. T. Alexander, gave us a call the otbor day. Mr. Potter intends to remain with his friends for a short time, and will no doubt have pleasant receptions from them. He thinks the West Is the place ior a young man, and spoaks in high terms of lowa. Buy a few cigars of Harry Oreen and they will secure you a passport into such high society that you wilt be up among the clouds—of smoke. A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS DECORATION. —Among the decorations incident to the holiday season, now *o near it* close, we have heard of none, and saw none, In Hidlefonte that exceeded In beauty of de sign and artistic skill in arrangement the Christmas Tree, as it was modestly called, erected by Mr. and Mr*. John Lane, in tho residence of Mrs. Lane, on Allegheny street. The ornate structure was not a ■ingle tree, but wa* rather a series of trees placed around two sides of a chamber, at im elevation of about two foot from the lioor, so a* to form a charming evergreen bower, with its overhanging branches dec orated with a groat profusion of olegant toy* and confections—tho whole occupy ing fully one-half tho space of the room. Around the outer edge between moss cov ered banks, meandered a stream of water that came, first, us a rippling cascade down a steep declivity, and then subsiding into a gentle brooklet that held a number of beautiful gold fish. Within the reces ses of the bower, on tho green moss, were to lie seen a great collection of toy animals of different species, and also several minia ture houses with ornamental surroundings. To the little one* it was a scene of enchant ment, and they might readily imagine that the housos should contain for their in habitants an Oberon nnd a Titania with their band of fairies ; or |>erha|is it might be (jueen Mab, and they could expect her to ap|iear with her song : "COM*, FOLLOW, FOLLOW MR— YOU FJRY RIVE* THAT L% WHICH CIRCLE ON THE KRN— COIN#, FOLLOW MALI, YOUR IWII ! HAND IN HAND IFI'I DANRC AROUND, FOR TBU |>UR* IN FAIRY GROUND." This faint description does not convey as fair a conception of the picture that greet ed the eye upon entering the chamber as we should like, but it roust suffice. It was indeed a sight to gladden every one who saw ito-s source of real delight, not only to the children, but to "children of a larger growth"—and the pleasure imparted was by no mean* confined to the immediate family of Mrs. Lane, for a large number of friends and neighbors, big and little, old and young, called during the week to see and to admire. ENTERTAINMENT ON CHRIHTMA* NIOHT. —The night of Christmas, when overybody is supposed to feel gay, is a good night for an entertainment. The one given under tho supervision of Mrs. Love for the bene fit of the Baptist church was, it is unnec essary to say, very successful in every re spect. The only difficulty in reporting it is that there wa* too much to speak of each one separately. The eight orchestral selections were executed in an artistic manner and of themselves would have mode a fine musical entertainment without the addition of several quartette*. The urchins who acted "The Ragamuffin Brig ade" were capital. Mr. Hal Orbkson took the place of Dr. George Harris in the solo and chorus "We've drank from the same canteen" with credit to himself. One of tho prettiest tableaux of the evening wa* "Mary of Scots first view of Kizxio." Both the tableau and chorus of "Five o'clock in tho Morning" were fine, and those who (isrticipated in the former look ed exactly like jolly, *|iarking country lad* and la*e. "Red Kidinghood" was splendid, from the lovely fairies and the innocent little "Red Kidinghood" up to tho ravenous wolf, whose voice much re sembled that of Spencer C. Ogden. We ; think that "Red mother did the most appropriate thing under Use | circumstance* to run out the door after her I child when the obstinate curtain refused to fall. The only tableau that fell at all list on the audience was "Rebecca and Rowena," which is only because msnv person* have not read Sir Walter Scott * ; "Ivanhoe." The scene which perhaps has received more compliments than any other wa* "The Bridal Wine Cup," in which ' Miss Maud Wallers, of Look Haven, re peated a thrilling, dramatic temperance speech with much affect. It was called forth by the persuasion* from her friend* to drink wino at the conclusion of the bridal ceremony, in which she acted a* bride with J. L. Spongier, Ksq., as bride groom. Miss Walters is a tall, handsome girl with considerable fire and energy In her nature. The entertainment was so sncceeshil that it wa* repeated the follow ing night to a good audience. Over one hundred dollars were realized from both entertainments. We add to this notice the following re ceived from Mr. F. P. Green : MEM as. Km TOED, —Allow me through the column* of your paper to take this early opportunity of returning my sincere thank* to all who so kindly assisted in making the "Christmas entertainment" what it certainly was, a #•<•*. Very truly yours, F. POTTS GREEN. LAST WEEK AT THE BUSH HOUSI.— Everybody from all part* of the county seemed to be stopping at the Bush House during last week. Although it Is claimed that this hotel has over three times the ca pecily of any other yet It was over-crowd ed. All of the professor* from distant parts were there without an excejftion and it seemed as If every teacher in Centre county was also there. The registry shows the names of many of our farmers evi dencing that the Bush House is fast taking the lead as the place for our home people as well a* the commercial public. Cleanll nees, comfort and a good table will tell. —We an agent* for Sawyer'* Woolen Milk; and aln for Kipper's foreign wool en*. The finest fabric*.

TL'THKAY MORNINCI. , Tho Centre County Teacher*' Institute gathered in the Court HOUM at nine A. M. on Tuesday, December 23, County Buper intendent Henry A. Meyer in tiie chair and a few of the prominent lady and gentlemen teacher* present. One of the important exercise* was A talk by Prof. N. C. Bchieflfer, of the Keystone Statu Normal School, situated at Kutr.town, Pa. He spoke on the subject of "Pedagoflk-*." The Institute ha* had the pleasure of hear ing Dr. Schieffer on several previous occa sions. His remarks on this occasion were, as usual, quite able. This wa* followed by a song by Mis* J. Kttie Crane, of the Bhippensburg Normal School. The lady is a pretty little blonde, with an exquisite voice and captivating manners. She accompanied herself on the piano. A lady whose name was announced as Miss Delia T. Smith wax invited to address the Insti tute on the subject of "Language Lessons." Bhe also represents tho Shipfienxhurg Nor mal School. Her remarks on this occasion were merely introductory to others on the same subject. They were well received. The roll, which was called at tho opening of the session, was repeated at this point, and the Institute spent a short time before adjournment in discussing the advisability of issuing a daily paper containing the Institute proceedings. TUESDAY AFTERNOON. The presence of many additional teach er* on Tuesday afternoon gave greater interest to the exercises. After roll call Prof. Schieffer was invited to address the Institute on the topic of "Spelling." He reviewed in brief the different ways in which this exercise is conducted in our schools, expressing his opinion as to the best mode* to lie adopted. To illustrate in what an execrable manner some of the most accomplished scholars spell, he said that Shakespeare wax known to spell hi* own name in fourteen separate way*. Numerous questions were asked the Doctor at the close of the exercise. Mis* Crane, one of tho fair teacher* from the Ship pensburg Normal School, gave a lively and very entertaining lecture on "Music in the public schools." She said she bod a right to make the statement that music is the most useful study in our schools—is not a mere accomplishment, but necessary. Bhe said that music teacher* generally have tho reputation of being ttrribU per son*. At the close of her remark* several questions were asked her, and Prof. Schs f fer said that the reason tnu*i<* teachers like her aro terrible is because when they 'peak they find their way into the hearts of their auditors and create a heart-ache there for a long time afterward. Her re (hark* were a success Mis* Smith then gave one of her excellent lectures on "Language Lessons." Bhe showed that children often come from their homes speaking incorrectly, because their parent* learn them to do so at home. When in school they should find a teacher who will by example learn them to speak well. Conversation, she said, is a lost art. Her remark* were excellent. After a motion in regard to the publication of Institute pro ceedings, Mr. H. 11. Hershbergorread a pre pared lecture on "The siits ytoi no* of surer** in teaching," after which the Institute adjourned. At the evening ses sion Miss Crane gave two of her delicious songs, with Mis* Bmith at the piano, and Prof. Schieffer gave his lecture on "Pesta lor.xi, the Martyr of Pedagogy." The lecture resulted in glvfhg hi* auditor* an exalted opinion of that ancient Italian pedagogue. WEDNESDAY MOKMXO. A much increased representation of teachers rendered the Wednesday morning session much more pleasant than any pre vious occasion. After the formal morning devotion and roll-call, Prof. Bcbieffer re sumed the ever fertile subject of "Peda gogy.' In his remarks he exposed some of the false view* advanced by those who have discussed the thorough training of children. Hi* remark* were notably prac tical and if followed will result in much good. The audience were pleased when Mis* Bmith again took the stand to deliver another of her delightful conversational talks on "Language Lessons." They are, she said, only designed as introductory to Grammar. This time she spoke principal ly upon the art of learning quite young children to form sentences from pictorial illustrations. "The Maid of Dundee," was a delightful song which followed, by Mis* Crane. On leaving the piano she resumed her instruction* in "Vocal Music," giving an outline of how and what children in the primary schools should be instructed in this art. Ten minutea each day is sufficient time to spend. She believes in allowing children to sing only so loud as they can without taxing the muscle* of the throat. Bweetness and naturalness are what should most assiduously bo cultivated. The lady wa* asked an unusual number of questions, which she answered quite pertinently. Prof. W. A. K rise gave a general exami nation in the world's history during the past year. The question* covered a wide latitude of what should be well known facts to all who read the newspapers. Mr. P. P. Bible, of Milesburg, seemed to give answer* with the most readiness. Mht Crane made this session of the Institute end very sweetly with the rendition of Ja pretty song. WEDHEADAT AFTERNOON. During port of the Wednesday after noon exercise*#ie Court House wa* crowd ed. After a lecture by Prof. Krise on "Primary Geographythe musical exer cise by Miss Crane took place. The lady taught a class of bright little girl* and boys to sing a pretty song gbout an old grey goose. She presented two way* In which teacher* may advantageously teach this branch. The Institute was then ad dressed by the County Superintendent of Clinton county, by Oen. Jamo* A. Beaver and by Rev. Dr. Hay:, Priwidnntuf Wa*h ington and Jefferson College, Mi*a Crano followed theae remark* with a lovely vong entitled, "Welcome, Pretty Prim Roae." Mis* Hmith then renumed the auhject of "Language Is**xin*," saying that after Ibe •pice of the gentlemen'* *j>e*che* the bread which *hc had to offer in her exercine would be acceptable. A lecture on "American Literature" wa* then given by Mr. C. C. Zeigler, which wa really a well prepared effort. The evening session, al though not largely attended, was exceed ingly pleasant. A classical song, entitled "Magnetic Walla," was followed by "Charley Magree," a very pathetic song. Both were quite exquisite. The lecture on "Character* and Manners," by Dr. Hays, contained many noble and exalted sentiment*. CIIRIMTMAH Mo KM.SO. Although the teacher* were compelled to assemble on Christmas morning they were determined not to mis* their Christ mas dinners, and therefore carried a mo tion that they be allowed two hours in which to partake of it. The committee on time and place of holding next meet ing reported that for the year 1880, the Tuesday following Chriitmas, Dec. 28, will be the most desirable time, but that a change of place is not advisable. The President complimented the teachers on the excellent order maintained, but re gretted that more interest was not shown in the exercises by asking questions, and advised them to occupy the front seals. Prof. Krise then told his auditors that re views in ail lessons are of great import ance, and in reply to questions gave seve ral pertinent responses. Prof. Scbwffer said that he does not believe in teachers insisting upon the mere outlines of lesson* any more than he doe* in eating the bones of a turkey, without the flesh. In inter mediate language ioasons, which Mist Smith gave at this point, she said that they are necessary before the introduction of Grammar. Miss Smith thinks that Syntax and Etymology alone belong to Grammar. Her word* were marked with | originality and thought. Rev. D. Z. Kline, in hi* lecture on the "Map of Europe," said that the course of river* always indi cate the slope of the land. In a few re marks on "School Discipline," Prof. Scb ffer compared it to military discipline. A teacher must utilize the curiosity, activ ity and love of the beautiful inherent in bis K-bolars'natures, just a* the Catholic church appeals to the a-sthelic taste of its adherents. CHRISTMAS AFTERKOOM. By two o'clock r. M , the teacher* had ' gotten themselves on the outside of their i big dinner* and flocked in large numbers ;to the Institute. The Superintendent was j made chairman of a committee on the se ; lection of new text books, of which the | other member* are Prof. Wolfe, Dr. i Schs ffer, Prof. Krise, Prof. Gramley, and i Prof. Lieb. Another interesting lesion on vocal music was given by Mix Crane, in which she gave the teachers material to use in fourteen different lesson* to their scholars. She also drilled the Institute in a few special exercises. In her lesson on j "Language" on this occasion, Mix Smith devoted her time principally to letter writ , ing. She described the entire modun ope. ] randi of writing busines*, official and x>- ; cial letters—not neglecting the kind which I she frequently receives, "love letters." 1 Mix Crane elicited the applause of the audience by singing "Nora O'NeiL" Many facts in Geography not known before and ' hut little thought of were brought out by : Prof. Scbs-ffer. He believa* in making this branch interesting by telling the •tudents item* of general and wonderful ! information on the division* of the coun try they are studying about. The evening j was devoted to a lecture by Rev, I)r. I Netbil, of Pittsburg, on "Shoddy." It i was listened to by an audience of al-out : one hundred and fifty people, and was marked with earnestness and thought. FRIDAV MORRIXO. "With an undiminished attendance Insti tute was called together at the usual time and the roil railed. The committee on nomination* reported a number of names to be voted for as officer* at the afternoon session. A resolution wa* offered by Mr. I). M. Lieb to the effect that the proceed ings be published, the accounts audited, Ac., which was, on motion, adopted. A committee was appointed on the subject with Superintendent Meyer as chairman, the other member* being Memr*. D. M. Leibtnd C. M. Gramley and Mix Sallie Meek. Mix Smith gave a lesson on Grammar in illustration of the step fol lowing her usual language leeson. She mentioned the many perplexing ways in which the word "It" may be used, and condemned the use of diagrams, especially Clark's system. She convinced ber audi tor* of the tenabienee* of her position in replies to question* addressed to her by D. S. Keller, Esq., Dr. Hoha-ffer and other*. Mix Crane sang "Hannah at tl* window binding shoes," and then resumed her vocal music lesson* to a clax of teachers. This was a more advanced eserrtse. Prof. A. N. Kaub, Principal of the Normal School, at Lock Haven, was present, and being called upon, spoke at length, compliment ing Mix Smith and seconding her views on the subject of diagram*. FRIIsaT aftrrxoon. In hi* lecture on the "Culture of the Sense*," at the afternoon session, Prof. Scha-ffer exceeded hi* former effort*. The human ear, he said, ha* Improved flfty per cent, in the la*t twenty yean. Singen a* ■weet a* Jenny Lind and audience* who can appreciate the choicest music are now common. In speaking of the absence of •ome senses, he said that he had known person*, who, deprived of four senses, had made the remaining sense answer the uses of all. The beck, he said, U least sensitive to touch, and the tongue most sensitive. In the "Language Lesson" exercise that concluded Mix Smith's performance bo fore the In.titute, she sdviw*] the u-*),,.,, not to wssto their time in ing ,*. rn |,. ioua or unelevatlng literature, and then bid them an affectionate farewell.
