Undoubtedly these unfortu- nates will ever kindly remember the overseer, Mr, Laverty. —Booth's Theatre has been crowded every night during the past week, Abbey’s Double Uncle Tom's Company being the attraction. The performance given by this company is far superior to that of any similar orgsaization which has ever visited this city, aad has given universal satisfaction.—N. Y. Sun, March 26.—Opera House, January 13. ~—Me. Curtis the gentlemanly sgent of the Bohemian oats swindle for this county has not put in an appearance bere for some time, We hope he may walk into town and surprise everybody by saying thet he is ready to lift the swiadling boads put out over the coun- ty. There are a great msny people who would like to see his smiling face. —The Sunday question is being agita- ted on the Comtinent of Europe. At Berlin 1,000 carpenters and joiners have petitioned the Reichslag to pass a law to make it a day of rest from labor. In the Canton of 8t. Gall, Switserland, all liquor saloons are to be closed on Sunday morning snd in several towns in Canton Vaud druggisis and barbers have agreed to close at noon. At Dres- den » glass manufactory dismissed 1,000 men for refusing to work on Sunday. —John Akely, formerly of this place bit latterly of Lewistown, was cruelly moriered near the latter place on Christmas day. Akely, in company with three girls, went in a sleigh to Yeagertown. li weems all had been drinking freely, and the girls after rob- bing Akely, threw him out of the sleigh, He, however, grasped the runoers and was dragged quite » distance, the girls lashing him with a whip to make him let go. Finally he lost his grip and he was left lying in the snow, Beveral hours later parties found him lying there, He was removed to his board: ing house, when it was discovered that during the skuffles the girls had inflict od injuries of a nameless character upon his person, which finally culmina- tedin his death, His body was covered with cuts and bruises fron the rough handling he had received, It was eventually learned that the girls had robbed him of all his money before maltreating him, The three girls were arrested and are now in the Lewistown jail. The victim was 34 years of sge. The father of the victim of this unfor- tunate affair is quite an aged gentleman and upon learoing of the death of his son was completely prostrated, and at this writing his life is despaired of. That the perpetrators of this outrageous affair be punished to the fullest extent of the law, is demanded by everybody: The family has the sympathy of this community. talking, but not in conscious imitation of it. The principles of readiog should be the same us those of expressive talk, A song followed when Prof Kemp was oalled on to take up his talk on Free doom in teaching. This was followed by Prof. Balliev on the" Ways of [nter- esting children” His words were list- ened to eagerly, and the address was considered one of the master works of Institute, TUESDAY AFPTERNOON was opened by sioging followed ty Prof, Irish, on “Teeching Grammar.” Prof. Charles Nau favored the sudi- ence with one of hischoice selections. Prof. Balliet's talk on “Numbers'’ was interesting, and contained many good points, aod was especially intended for primary teachers. The first thing to determine in new pupils is what they know of sumbers, Then proceed from the known to the unknown, evens. membering that figures are not num- bers. Be careful in testing the know- ledge of children as to vumbers, for while many six-year old know | and 2, but very few know the number 3. Every child six years old knows the elements of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and perhaps those of fractions, Music bythe Y. M. C. A, Quartette preceded the talk on “ Reading" by Prof. Neff. A short recess, a talk on ‘‘Hy- giene” by Dr, Hargreaves, and Prof. Kemp's discourse on "Memory," closed the afternoon session. IN THE EVENING Prof. Irish was greeted be a very large audience, the attraction being a lecture, the subject of which was “The Bible, the World's Greatest and Best Library.” In the first half of his dis course the lecturer dwelt upon the character of the different books of the Bible, grouping them into series and showing most clearly the purpose and intent of each, In the latter half the effort was to instill a love for the won- derful gift and srouse convictions of the need of harkeving to the teachiogs of this writing of God. WEDNESDAY MORNING, The responsive reading of the scrip- ture was led by Rev. Snyder of the Re- formed chureh, Singing followed, aud then Prof. Irish gave his closing talk on “Grammar.” Some difficult sentences handed him by members of lostitute, were clearly explained by use of dia- grams.
