J 1). Cook. andMisa R. F. Vaughan
, v ■ nted a Committee to prepare a programme
■ ,,r the Association, and they accordingly
' J rt which was accepted. The Business Com
'Bappearing. O. F. Young offered the following
vetion
h 1 -tat it is the duty of the School Directors to
l -'. f V." e , Sp , lr - 1 a! '"tent of the School Law, to its
fj'thfuUy. That they should be compeil
k' -' J ; nit -ftion of the law in regard to text-
r ls twit as any other.
i . ' )scr opened the discussion, setting forth the
t ' ■ '"'-'-Bee of a want of uniformity in tuxt-bcoks,
|s • '8 Cut Directors have, by law, the control of
, an< * -hou'.d be compelled to do their duty.—
i ® s chool law, and said that the failure
b, - e Attributed to it, arose from its imjierfect cx
'•"H.uned by O. W. Stevens, O. J. Cirabbuck,
i . " 1 The latter gentlemen urged further,

v oun 3. Jr-, and C. M. Hints,opposed
- rhy tontended that want of uniformity
rtlac t,ecn represented, since all
1 the text-books, on any branch, contain nearly the same
I principles—that oral teaching may, to a great extent, I
I take the place of book-study, and that the head of the
I properly qualified teach, ris the best text-book—that !
Directors are generally not competent to the task of
I making a selection, aud that under the present law they
cannot be compelled to do so.
The resolution was laid over nntil next meeting.
O. J. Chubbuck retired, and O. W. Stevens, one of the
standing Vice Presidents, took the chair.
J. B. Durand read, in his usual appreciative style
44 Locksley Hall," a selection from Tennyson.
The following was proposed :
Resolved, That teachers have no right to U3O corporeal
punishment on their pupils.
On motion of Dr. Crandall, it was amended so as to
read—
Resolved, That it is inexpedient for teachers to use cor
poreal punishment on their pupils.
Dr. Crandall. 0. F. Young, O. J. Chubbuck, J. B. Du
j rand, C. M. Hnes, G. N. Dewo'.f, Rev. D. Cook, N.'Young
Jr., W. H. Humphrey, Dr. Lacey, E. Jones, E. Wells and
W. H. Thompson, participated in the discussion. Not
withstanding the fact that the subject is old, and perhaps
threadbare, the remarks did not seem commonplace,and
the interest was well sustained throughout. The discus
sion took a wide range, aud sever.'! collateral matters
were touched upou, such as whether a teacher could gov
ern well by remaining in his easy chair—whether corpo
real punishment should be inflicted in the presence of
the other pupils, or after the close oi the school, Ac.
This resolution was also laid over. An expression from
theaudience was called for, and was strongly against the
resolution.
Ou Friday evening, N. Yonng, Jr., delivered a lecture
on the Growth of the Mind, which was well received, and
listened to with marked attention. It was followed by
a declamation 41 Humbug," by John Keeney, and another
declamation 44 National Education," by Charles Andrews.
Saturday morning, Mbs Elizabeth Jones read a selection
" Life's End," which was followed by an original decla
mation ' 4 Perseverance," by C. K. Canfield.
J. B. Durand reported the following resolutions which
were adopted by the Association :
Resolved. That the cordial thanks of this Association
be tcuderi-d to the citizens ot Stevensville, for their mark
ed hospitality in providing for the comfort of all visitors
from a distance
Resolved, That we also tender our thanks to the trus-1
tees of the Church, for the use of their budding—to the j
choir for their excellent music, and to all those who have
by their intellectual contributions, added to the interest
ot the occasion. j
Resolved, That we sincerely regret the illness which
has prevented the attendance of Prof. Coburn, whose
presence in times past, has given so much encourage
ment to the Association.
A. B. Bartlett proposed the following, which was adopt
ed, on the part of the citizeus :
Resolved, That we tender our thanks to this Associa
tion, for the favor they have conferred by holding this
session in this place—that we will always extend to the
< .fuse of ed .cation our cordial suppovt, and we invite
this Association to draw largely upon our hospitality
whenever it can be made convenient.

THE TWENTY SECOND OF FEBRUARY AT
TOWANDA The late hour at which the proclamation of
the President was received, prevent: d, to a considerable
degree, as extensive arrangements as would otherwise
have been made for the commemoration of the birthday
of the immortal WASHINGTON, at this place.
At two o'clock p. M. the Church bells, and other bells
of the town, announced in long aud merry peais, the as
.e nbling of the people at the Court House. The meeting
was largely attends, much of the space iu our large
Court room beiug filled by ladies. The meeting was
opened by calling to preside, the Hon. Ulysses Slcrcur,
who, on taking the chair, thanked the meeting for the
honor conferred on uim, and in announcing the object of
the meeting alluded at length, in most eloquent and
glowing terms, to the deep interest felt by all true and
loyal people upon this occasion, in view of the moment
ous condition of our beloved country, aud the late glori
ous victories of the Union army. After the appointment
of G. I). Montanye and W. C. Bogart as Secretaries, an
appropriate prayer was made by Rev. B. J. Douglas.—
C. L Ward. Esq. by invitation, then read in an impress
ive manner, Washington's Farewell Address. Never,
| perhaps, were those almost prophetic words of that ira-
I mortal man, listened to with more profound and intense
j interest, than now, as they fell from the lips of the
1 reader.
After the reading of the Address a committee was ap
pointed consisting of W. C. Bogart, William Elwell, J,
C. Adams, G. F. Mason, and 3. S. Rusaeil Esqs., to pro
cure materials and to illuminate the Court House during
the evening. It was also resolved that this meeting ad
journ until svening.
There was a large attendance in the evening. The
Court House was brilliantly illuminated, and the Court
room embellished with the glorious Stars and Stripes.—
■ Portraits of the 44 Father of his Country," and the grsat
LAFAYETTE, and pictures of places and scenes associated
with the times of these illustrious dead, were conspicu
ous to remind us of their virtues, tlieir patriotism, and
their sacrifices in founding this great Uniou, which trai
tors with unholy efforts are now attempting to destroy.
The illumination iu front of the Court Hou-c, emtiiomatic
I of the Red, White, and Blue, elicited mnch prube, aud
; reflects great credit upon J. F. Bender, Esq.. who design
ed and prepared it. The meeting was presided over iu
the evening by Dr. Charles Turner, assisted by II.S.
Ifercnr and Col. John F. Means as Vice Presidents. Ad
dresses were delivered by E. T. Eliiott, Esq., Hon. U%
Mercnr, Col. Elhanan Smith, Harry Ward, P.D. Morrow,
C. L. Ward. Esqs., and others, all eloquent and glowing
with patriotic sentiments, an l with three rousing cheers
for tire Union and the Constitution the meeting passed
off", all feeling grateful that we still have a country to
love and a will and power to preserve it.

EMERY'S
Celebrated Threshing Machines,
EMERY'B ONE AND TWO HORSE POWERS, are
too well and popularly known to need any description
from me, and I will only say that they continue to de
serve the reputation they have enjoyed for ten years, of
being the " btest Endless Chain Horse Power "in use."
These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos
sessed by no other power.
EMERY'S NEW PITENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced into this region. It has no endless chain straw
carrier, bnt separates all kinds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. If, is a simple, durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will nor.
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to he superior to the common Rake" Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
lie an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS & SEPARATERS
are not excelled by any in market, are well constructed,
simple and durable. lam prepared to supply all kinds
of

GEORGE McCABa
WOULD INFORM HIS FRIENDS
and the people of Bradford county iu general, that
he has purchased the Marble Yard formerly owned by
Taylor A Cash, and has added to his stock a large as
sortment of
American and Foreign Marble.
He invites the public to see his large stock beforo par
chasing elsewhere, as he has the largest stock ever in tlil3
county. Customers purchasing at the shop or sending
their orders will save at least 50 percent, and not be
troubled with agents looking alter grave stones before
the corpse is buried, and who are not responsible. Cofne
and see what you are getting. Having been in the busi
ness for the last 2l> years, in the city of Philadelphia, he
iutends to keep a variety always on hand of Marble Man
tles, Monuments, Grave Yard Posts, Head Stones and
Tombs, at city prices.

the close of the Spring term.
No deduction wiil be made for absence, except (a case
of protracted iikiess of over Uvo weeks.
Instrumental Music will not, as heretofore, he taught in
the Institution.but by special arrangement—a class vrlll
be taught in a hall adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher of Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience has proved it to be eminently superior to
the plan pursued in former years. Special paius will bo
taken to secure the greatest progress of those wishing to
take lessons in this branch. Terms will beas heretofore :

Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow

ble thai they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but wL.n otherwise, tikes# will b
famished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that student! from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Department —Special exercise# are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. Cl 4. COBL'RX, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common School#
In the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present-to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, apd will deliver frequent lectures on th#
Theory and Practiceof Teaching, as also on other
connected with Normal training. _
Those persons, therefore.intending to engage inteacn
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term.
Prof. Coburu's connection with the institution i# not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of th#
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high npnliUtina the Institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, ami in rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support
