The business committee presented a report which was accepted and adopted ; and Messrs. C. R. Coburn, Holmes, Whitney, Guy cr, and Thos. Youngs were appointed a com mittee nominate officers for* the ensuing year. After singing by the choir of the Institute,the Association adjourned till 2 o'clock, P. M.

It was on motion, Resolved, That in view of the valuable services rendered by the retir ing officers in their official connection with the Association, we tender to them our thanks for their care, promptness and efficiency as officers of the Association. Mr. Morrow presented the annual report of the Treasurer, which was accepted as satisfac tory. The Association then took up the considera tion the question, " What is the best method of teaching the Alphabet ?" The discussion was continued for some time, and with consid erable interest, conducted by Messrs. Colt, Co burn, Wright, Corbiu, and others—when it was Resolved, That Misses E. Preston, F. O. An drews, and Mary Britton be a committee to prepare a report on this subject, to be present ed at the next meeting. The following Resolution was then taken up for consideration : Resolved, That Government should be taught by Teachers as a science. The discussion on this embraced the subject of instruction in the principles of moral obliga tion—in the nature of our relation to the State •—the subject of civil government, and espe cially the importance of instructing the young in the particular political constitution of the States. The debate was participated in by Dr. Bliss, Messrs. Coburn and Morrow, and in the progress of the debnte the Association adjourned till 7 o'clock this evening. The evening session was opened with music by the Musical Association of Towauda. The nnfinished business was resumed, and on mo tion of Mr. Coburn the resolution was amend ed and adopted as follows : Resolved, That pupils in our common schools should, when practicable, be instructed relative to their duties as citizens of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and of the Uuited States, as well as the duties they owe to their teachers and their parents. The Association then took up the considera tion of the following resolution : Resolved, That when the scholar is commenc ing the study of Grammar, the teacher should use much oral instruction and many more and simpler illustrations than arc generally contain ed ill our text-books on the subject. Tho discussion was introduced by Messrs. Coburn and Corbin, and postponed to hear the essay and address ; when Miss Pitcher read an essay—subject, " Euergy and Perseverance necessary qualifications of the Teacher.'' Af ter music, the Rev. Mr. llendrick, the Presi dent of the Association for the previous year, delivered an address—subject, " Discipline of the mind the great object of scholastic Educa tion.'' On motion, it was Resolved, That the thanks of the Associa tion be tendered to Miss*Titeher for her ap propriate and interesting essay, and to Mr. Hendrick for his eloquent address. The discussion on the subject of Grammar was resumed, and carried on by Messrs. Colt, Corbin and Morrow. Messrs. Macfarlane, Booth, Bartlett, and Rev. Mr. Foster took part in the debate. The discussion was throughout animated and Interesting, presenting and illustrating impor tant principles and facts on the subject. The peculiar abstruseness of the study of Grammar —its importance—the inexpediency of prema ture attention to this branch, a study which belongs rather to advanced than to elementa ry education—the importance of regarding it as an art and teaching it by exercises in Eng lish composition, and the close study of the best English writers—the inefficaev of all at tempts at extreme simplification ; those and other interesting aspects of the subject, were presented by the speakers. On motion, the re solution was laid on the table. It was on motiou, Resolved, That we tender our thanks to the Musical Association of Towanda, for their ser vices, which have been so gratifying to the As sociation, and have contributed so pleasantly to engage aud increase public interest in the exercises and business of the evening. After music, the Association adjourned till Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Concluded with prayer by Rev. Mr. Foster. The Association met on Saturday morning according to adjournment, aud took up the fol lowing resolution : Resolved, That we highly approve of San- ' ders' Elementary aud Elocutionary Chart, and ! recommend its introduction into our schools. Afif litH-tiing to some remarks tyr Mr. Co burn on the nature and use of the Chart, the resolution was adopted. Misses S. Benham, M. Beecher, M. Barnes, were appointed ft committee to report at the ( next meeting on tho best method of teaching Geography. Mr. Morrow offered the following resolu tion - Resolved, That the present system of taxa tion for the support of the common schools of Pennsylvania is the true cue. Mr. Morrow supported the resolution at considerable length ; when Mr. Guycr moved as an amendment— " That the principle recognised by the pre sent system of taxation for the support of schools in this State, is a correct one, and that it should be so extended in its appli- ation as to make all the property in the commonwealth equally liable for the education of all the chil dren." Mr. Guycr was heard on the subject, ami in reply to some of tlie arguments of Mr. Mor row ; Messrs. Coburn and Booth continued the debate, when the further consideration of the subject was postponed till next meeting. Dr. Holmes, from a committee appointed on the subject, reported the following obituary notice of the late MissF. E. Hendrick, a mem ber of the Association, which was adopted : " Miss FLORA E. HENDRICK, one of the first members of the Bradford County Teachers' Association, died Sept. 12th, 1855. As a Christian, the character of the deceased was marked by decision and euergy, and her forti tude in suffering was but the result of the sim ple faith which had sustained her through life, as a scholar, she was conspicuous, and her ha bits of thought were clear and accurate ; deep ly impressed with the importance and responsi bility of the station of a teacher, she slirauk from no toil which could contribute to the wel fare of her pupils ; and during some years of | experience in teaching, her labors were crown ed with eminent success. t Resolved, That the Association profoundly ; feeling the losai so soon, of so valuable a ineru i bcr, do also tender to the bereaved friends of our departed sister our lieart-felt sympathy." The Rev. Mr. Corss made some remarks ou the character of the deceased, and addressed to the members of the Association appropriate considerations of condolence and admonition. P. D. Morrow, Esq., was appointed to de liver the address at next meeting. Messrs. O. J. Ghubbuck, C. F. Phelps, and D. B. Cotton were appointed a busiuess com mittee. The Association then adjourned to meet at Leßaysville on the third Friday of February next. Concluded with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hendrick. THF. WESTERN HOG TRADE. —The hog killing season will commence at Louisville about the 20th inst. The Courier of Monday says : It has been estimated that 300,000 hogs would be slaughtered round the falls this sea son, but we now think the number will exceed 325,000 head, aud probably 350,000. There is now a better feeling in the market than has prevailed for sometime, though in consequence of the continued stringency in money matters many buyers are still holding back. The pre vailing quotations for good hogs to be deliver ed at the pens are 6a6 1-4 cents net, while ; drovers in the country are asking 4 1-2 cents, ;on time. We hear of a sale of 2,000 head at I 6 cents net, and learn that several lots have j been offered at 6 1-8 cents net. j The Cincinnati Gazette, of Saturday, says : Hogs arc held as heretofore, with great lirin ; ness, and from 25 to 50 per cent, above tin views of buyers. Holders of heavy hogs con tend for $7, aud there are no sellers below $6 75 for delivery this month, but these rates being above the views of buyers, prices must be set down as nominal. The St. Lonis Intelligencer , of the Oth says : Hogs were offered to-day at sfi, but buyers at that figure were not about. The rate up the country appears to be 5a5 25, and slow at the latter price. The Indianapolis (Ind.) Journal, of the 10th, says : Hogs are inactive, at least siuec the resto ration of the Hog Law, which confines them to their pens. There is little doing among our packers ; $5 50 appears to be the only rate at which we can quote them. We heard of some small lots taken at that yesterday. The llopkiusville (Ky.) Press, of the Oth, says At a sale about 7 miles west of this city, on the Bth inst., a lot of stock hogs, which would average about 45 pounds gross, sold for $4 30 cash per head, or about ten cents per pound. A lot of fine pork hogs also were sold at $3 94 per 100 pounds gross. UTAH AND THE PLAINS. —The mail from the Salt Lake settlements has arrived at Indepen dence, Mo..after a trip of 30 days. Provi sions were reported to be scarce at Salt Lake city. The Mormon emigrant trains were ar riving daily in good condition. Owing to the danger from the Indians in the mountains, and to prevent white men from furnishing them with arms and ammunition, the traders in all that country are ordered to repair to Fort Laramie, and reside there during the winter. Gen. Harney intended going into winter quarters soon on White river. Considerable snow had fallen in the mountains, and the ice in the Platte was some tan or twelve inches thick. Plenty of water and grass on the route in. The party brought in three passen gers. The Indians are considered very dan gerous on the route. This party traveled with out an escort. Gen. Sumner's command, which had started to reinforce Gen. Harney, had been ordered back to Fort Leavenworth, where they will re main during the winter. It is said that Gen. Harney will spend the winter iu the states— the elements ou White river being too severe for his health. CURIOUS NEEPLECASE. —Dr. Fearing, of Nan tucket, Mass., has taken from the stomach, abdomen and leftside of a patient, named Jane James, sixty-two needles, and more remain.— The patient, some years ago, was deranged in mind, and fancied herself a pincushion, swal lowing all the needle? and pins she could lav hand? . - -i ■ ■' i ■■■ ti . i " llraiforVilcportfr.

THANKSGIVING DAY has become one of the 'institutions' of this Commonwealth, and is welcomed and observed with almost New-Eng land strictness and pleasure. The recommen dation of the Governor to set apart Thursday ' last, as a day of thanksgiving and praise to the giver of every good and perfect gift for His bounteous tncrcies during the past year, was observed in this place by a general suspension of business. Divine service was performed in the forenoon, in all the churches ; while during the day, many a family, separated during the year, onee more re-assembled round the hearth stone. We trust our readers have enjoyed ! their share of the blessings of the past year, j and will be able to welcome the next Thanks ! giving day, with equal cause for gratitude and ' praise. WAR WITH ENGLAND ! Wc hopie that the warlike aspect of the late foreign news has not awakened apprehensions of a rupture between this country and England, |in the minds of any of our readers. They need not indulge in fears, for there is not the remot est prospect of such a disastrous contingency. ! The indications are not alarming enough to : effect the nerves of the most timid old lady in . the country. Divesting the whole matter of ; the bluster and braggadocia of the newspapers, ! and the two eouutries have no dispute, and no i matter of disagreement which can possibly lead to a quarrel. We consider a war between the United States and England as impossible with in the next quarter of a century. The latter country has now on her hands quite as much as much she can attend to, and will not be likely to increase her burdens by such a load as a war with us. On the other hand, she is i one of the heaviest consumers of our cotton, and a rupture with her would depreciate the price of this southern staple, as well as the pro perty employed in its production. The great interests of Slavery are against a war with I England, and as that influence controls the legislation and diplomacy of the country, we may safely conclude that such a war will never occur, except when every other mode of settle ment has been exhausted. The same, indeed, may be said of any war, that does not tend to the acquisition of slave territory. Aud then, it is easier to acquire a slice, uow-a-davs, from our needy neighbors, by purchase, and Uncle j Sam's treasury abundantly supplied with the j requisite for indefinitely extending our slave area without the scandal of a war. ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBEIIY.—ON Sunday evening last, at 9 o'clock, as the clerk of the Pynchon Bank, Springfield, Mass., was going iuto the bank for the night, he was seized by two men who had been awaiting him in the dark passage. They demanded wliere the Cash ier lived, which he refused to tell, when one of them plunged a knife at his breast, which pen etrated his coat but struck a thick wallet with coin it, probably preventing a serious wound. The clerk then shouted murder, aud the bur glers fled. No clue to the would-be robbers has yet been obtained. PENNSYLVANIA COAL. —It is more than twen ty-five years since Pennsylvania coal began to | be a recognized article of production and corn i meree. This year the product will amount to no less than six millions of tons. This, as de livered at the mines, is worth at least twelve millions of dollars, so that this great sum may be regarded as the amount of solid wealth dug annually at the present time, from the bowels of the earth. AN OCF.AX OF BLOOD. —It is said that with in a radius of five miles around Sebastopol, more blood has been shed, more lives sacrificed, and more misery inflicted within a year, than on any other equal extent of the earth's stir-' face in the same space of time, since the days of Noah's flood. HEALTH OF JUDGE J. Y. MASON.— The Rich mond Enquirer states that letters received bv ! the last European steamers give the fullest as-' surance that our Minister to France has entire- ' ly recovered from the etlects of his paralytic attack, and is again blessed with his usual good health. In the Missouri Legislature on Satur- i day last, a resolution to go into the election of United States Senator on the last Monday of the present month, Rafter an elaborate discu;-! sion, was finally passed. CHASE SHOWING HIS THUE COLORS ! Our quondam friend, the ex-speaker, we are happy to say, has at last reached a point which seems to inspire him with new life and zeal fiora the congeniality and appropriateness of its associations. After beating about with ad verse wimls and tides, tacking this way and that way, and endevaoring to reach jiort steering in every direction except the proper one, he is at last grounded by the current that has all the time been steadily and surely drift ing him away from his principles. We need hardly inform our readers that he has been swallowed up in the maelstrom of Slavery-pro pngnndism, 4 which yawns always to invite and cngulph such frail and weak-headed political navigators as himself. The fate was so inevi tably his, that H causes no astonishment or re gret to those who have watched his strange and tortuous course. The Montrose Democrat, since the election, has been a curiosity. We can hardly realize that it is edited by the same man who endeav ored to procure from the llarrisburg Conven tion an endorsement of the course of Gov. KEENER, and reprobation of the outrages of the Missouri ruffians ; who was so indignant at that refusal, that he did not place the name | of PI.L'MMEB at the head of his paper, and re fused in any way to countenance or endorse the Convention. We can scarcely believe that it I is the same paper that has lalnjred, in season and out of season, to convince the Democracy of Susquehanna that theirs was the true Free I Soil party ; that there was no necessity for de- I sorting the organization on state or county no ; miuees, but when the great issue came in 185G then was the time to strike for Freedom, re gardless of former party names or associations ! Yet it is the same sheet, that has roared so loudly in times past, of the aggressions of Sla very, and talked so boldly and defiantly, that it almost seemed the very ehainpion of Free dom. Now it comes to us, filled with the nsual paltering and driveling and excuses so common amongst your genuine, unadulterated doughfa ces. It no longer denounces the usurpations of slavery, it is villifying the advocates of Re | publicanism. It has no longer rebuke for ATCHISON* and his millions, but it is filled with a holy horror of WII.MOT and SEWARD and HALE and their sectional and treasonable schemes ! i To show how the tone of that paper has changed, we propose to make a few extracts from its columns, all appearing editorially with in the last year : (7 om the Montrose I>rmo- \ [ From the Montrose Demo i crat. .Xtw. :iO, I-SoL] j crat, Oct. to, I*, 1 ),!.] * * "So far as we are * * " Who w ill be the concerned, oar position wa- standard bearer of this party 1 juk ago taken, and tkisj we cannot tell, but if wise— in jvement will not alter 01 if not foolishly mad—the con amend it.

It is with no emotions of satisfaction that we thus place : side by side the evidences of CHASE'S perfidy and vascillation. When the article from which we have quoted appeared in November last, , we then took occasion to say that his pretend ed support of BENTON was all a sham, and that when the day of trial came, he would be false I to all his former professions. i I lie political course of the Democrat has been in the highest degree cowardly and disreputa ble. It has gained for it the abuse and exe . orations of those who tolerate its eccentricities ! while they make a tool of its editor, and the I utmitigated contempt and disgust of the true friends of Freedom. Feeling that the princi ples of Freedom have taken strong hold in the hearts of the people of Susquehanna, the De- I mocrat has been piratically sailing under the 1 colors of Freedom, for base, deceptive and dis • honorable purposes. j We rejoice, as we have no doubt the true men of Susquehanna will rejoice (if, indeed, the \ concern is worth rejoicing over,) that CHASE I has at length thrown off all pretensions aud i subterfuges, and has openly taken his place in the ranks of those who are the tools and ad juncts of the Slave-power. The only influence he ever possessed was acquired by his repeated and zealous professions of friendship to the cause of Freedom. He is no longer in a posi tion whore he can betray that cause. He has only been deterred from going over, body and breeches, loug since, by the hope of deceiving the voters of Susquehanna. He has at last found his proper sphere, and we trust he will have decency enough to do the dirty work of his masters, without sullying the cause of Free dom by any professions of support or regard. Mr. CHASE takes ground in favor of JAMES BUCHANAN for the Presidency: Hisvisitonce upon a time to Wheatland, and the attentions he received, proved too much for his suscepti ble nature and for his weak intellects. Who ••an TF II what I>r i Ilia nt nt ici pa tio DB gleam be fore his excited and ambitious imagination, of posts of profit and honor to be conferred, when BUCK shall be fairly seated in the Presidential chair, and shall give the faithful iu Pennsylva nia their reward ! Visions, perhaps, of foreign missions, or gubernatorial houors, or judicial dignities. We recommend his case to the at tention of the freemen of Susquehanna, who know how to deal with such stultified dough faces. CARRYING ir TOO FAR. —The market for bread stuffs on this side the water is said to be much above the advanced prices ruling in Liverpool aud London. The French now buy cheaper there than here. The New-York Post says that the shipments now making are at one to two dollars including charges per barrel more for flour than in Liverpool ; and this fact aloue renders bills drawn against them unsafe.— Speculation has been carried too far. . The ad vance in the foreign markets has been more than anticipated long ago, and as the daily supplies in the Xew-York have much increased of late, prices are declining. We note another decline in flour and grain in the market, and the tendency is downward. CONGRESS meets on Tuesday, December 4th. The President's message is not to be forwarded in advance of its delivery to Congress. The coming session will be one of unusual importance and excitement, growing out of the magnitude of the questions to be settled. We shall eudeavor to keep our readers fully inform ed of its proceedings. U. S. SENATOR. —The Alabama legislature met iu joint ballot on the 20th inst., and on the first ballot Hon. BENJAMIN FITZPATRICK, dem., was re-elected to the United States Senate for the term of six years. TIIE BARKER FAMILY gave a concert at this place on Tuesday eveuiug last, to a very large audience. Their performance gave universal satisfaction. fefirOn Tuesday last, a monument was dedi i cated to GEORGE TAYLOR, at Eastou, Pa., with very interesting ceremonies. This is said to be the first monument ever erected to a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. lerThc trial of Judge STUART, of New York city, indicted for bribery and corruption in of fice, resulted iu a verdict of not guilty, with a recommendation from the jury to resign. m B&T The official returns of the late election in Ohio give Chase 146,659 votes ; Medill 130,789 ; Trimble 24,209. DISGRACEFUL MOB IN MAINE. —An attempt to lay the corner-stone of a Catholic church in Bath, Me., on Sunday last, was broken in up on by a gang of rowdies and prevented. We find the following account of the affair in The ; Bath Tribune. On Sunday, as the Catholics attempted to hold religious services appropriate to laying the corner-stone of a new church, a large con | course assembled to witness the exercises, j which were prevented by rowdyism of the low ! est sort, and violence. During the foreuoon a wooden cross which had been erected was for cibly pulled down. Early in the afternoon an American flag was raised amid the cheering of a considerable number of )iersons, who showed themselves hostile to the exercises and the oc casion. Mr. Hussell, acting mayor, pulled the flag down amid shouts of " hustle him out" and hisses. But ou his leaving it was again put up. A rush was made for the corner-stone which had been previously laid, and several attempts made to remove it from its setting, which was prevented, as we learn, by the exeLtions of Marshal Walker and Mr. Constable Leach, who kept the crowd at bay. There was much bad talk, shouting, fighting, Ac. The Catho lics, finding they would be opposed in their exer cises, quietly withdreAV and left the lawless mob in possession of the fiield. No attempt that we hear of was made to arrest any of the disturbers of the peace up to 4 o'clock. At about 5 o'clock, the crowd having accomplish ed their objects, and prevented the religious exercises, gradually dispersed. Seeing the temper of the people, the bishop sent word to his parish that the exercises would not be held. Some injury was done to private property, and nuisances committed of which it is not decent to speak. We blush to think that in this city of churches and law and order the Sabbath should be broken by such scenes of lawlessness and violence. We are mortified that a few low and irresponsible persous should be per mitted to again blacken the character of our city. ARREST OF BOGUS MO.N SY DEALERS. —On Friday evening two men giving their names as Win. F. Stoddard and J W. Lee were arres ted for passing bogus money. The sample we saw was a live dollar note on the Easton Bank, Kansas Territory—the " Kansas T." being in very small letters, placed in the lower part of the shading of the figure five on the right end, and the two so interwoven as to make it al most imperceptible. The note bears date Sept. 20, 1855, No. 20, and is signed Geo. Ilervey, President, E. Alton, Cashier. The engraving is very coarse, and many of them, we are told" very badly printed. On searching the parties arrested, a large amount of the same kind of currency, but on different banks, was found, and some papers, agreeing to certain regula tions in passing it. After a hearinir before Justice Ulmer, they were both committed to answer at court.— Lycoming Gazette. CHANCE FOR CONTRACTORS. —Lewisburg has been agreed upon as the county seat of Union county, Pa., and the building committee on the new court house have advertised for proposals up to the 15th of December.
