Ring the bell the curtain drops! and the scones enacted on the stage of 1884 pass before us in rapid succession as we take a retrospective glance over it. With the advent of the year many hearts beat high in happy expectation of what the year would bring to them, Dreams of love, joy, and happiness to be realized, fi. nancial interests, prosperity, and every- thing appertaining to each one individu- ally and encouraging sspect. In many casos such dreams and hopes and expecta- tions have been realized. Individually the past year has been a blessed one so far as health is concerned. While our brethern on the other side of the blue waves have been visited by epidemics our county, state, and country has been wonderfully blessed by a kind Providence and we have been spared the fearful ravages of disease. This year will be one long to remembered for the products of the soil. The harvests of golden grain have been abundant ones and unto the Lord of the harvest should ascend our voices of thanksgiving and praise for the bountiful gifts of his hand: the county is in a prosperous condition. Its offices of trust have Leen filled with men capable of regulating its affairs to the best possible interests of its citizens. To the great net work of railroads now in Pennsylvania have been added the Bellefonte Nittany and Lemont rail-road, which is The Lewisburg and Tyrone rail-road has reach- ed its way to Osk Hall now almost completed. thence it will facilitating the transmission of agricultur- al products in that seetion, and make mode of travel The county has losses by fire, agreeable met with no financial reverses none.

INSTITUTE PROCEEDINGS, On Monday afternoon the Instructors, and most of the teachers being present, the Institute began active work, Prof. Wolf called the session to order, and presented Rev. M. K. Forster, pastor of the Methodist church, Beliefonte, Pa., to read the scripture lesson and lead in prayer. After singing by Lhe Institute, Prof, Wolf formally opened the session by urg- ing the teachers te so guard their conduct as that in all things they might be above reproach. The unusual sttendance, so Iarge and so general in its representation of the county received a warm expression of thanks as indicating to the instructors and the citizens present, the interest of Centre county teachers in their work, These pleasant thoughts, thus inspired, served to prepare the teachers for the in- troductory talk of Prof, Geo, P. which was finely prefaced by a piano solo by Miss Bible. Prof. Beard seemed to go directly to his Beard, work, sand the topic of “Teaching’’ clear- ly discussed. After the Professor's in- struction and enjoyable talk, the audience was favored with a song from Music Page Supplement, under the leadership of Prot. Schaeffer, who had charge of the music the Prof. C. L Gramley then presented the subject of no- during entire week. tation in a very satisfactorily manner. TUESDAY MORNING.
