their earliest convenience.
During their absence the County Superin
tendent entertained the Convention for half an
hour with an appropriate address.
' The committee then made the following re
port—
:Whereas, Association to effect any Impose
of general interest, the public statement of that
purpose and stated discussions of its progress,
.and means of success, seem to be the mode of
proceeding most in accordance with the insti
tutions of our country and the habits of the
community.
and whereas, No purpose is more worthy of
the best efforts of the citizen or the employ
ment of the most effectual measures to give, it
full effect than that of the improvement of-toe
Commau-Schools, which being. as it is, the foun-
Aation_ofour_whole_EducationaLfahric, is also_
thus to a great extent the starting point of the
improvement, or the reverse, of society.
Therefore, We, Common School Teachers of
Adams county, feeling the force of these:truths,
and the weight of the responsibility resting on
us, do resolve :—That we will this day form a
permanent County Association of the Teachers
and Friends of Education, to meet at least
twice in each year. That we heartily approve
of Teachers' Institutes and will ufe our influ
. ence to entablish and 'sustain at least one
Teachers' Institute in the year, for mutual im
provement in the- art of teaching : to continue
m session not less than one week and to meet
at such time and place as shall be determined
by the County Superintendent. That we
earnestly recommend to the Teachers of each
School District, the formation and frequent
meetings of district associations of teachers and
friends of Education, at which the parents of
the youth in the school shall be -especially in
vited to be present. -
That the Chair appoint a committee of five
to prepare and submit a constitution for the
regulation of a Teachers' Association.'
This report was received and after some dis
cussion in which Mr. Buanowss of Lancaster,
and the' Superintendent of Franklin county,
took part, was adopted.
The following persons were appointed a
committee to draft a Constitution for a Teaohers'
Association. C. 11. Austin, Dr. J. A. Swope,
Rebecca Wright, Maria C. Thompson, and T.
R.-Ditterline.
On motion, Coni , ention adjourned to meet at
11. o'clock, P. M.
MET AT 1 O'CLOCK, P. M.
Hon. T. H. Bunanwes of Lancaster was in
vited to address the convention, and responded
in an able and eloquent address, after which
the committee on the Constitution 'made their
report, which was received and adopted, (re
port omitted;) and the teachers and friends of
Education attached their names to the consti
tution, after, which the convention proceeded
,to elect officers, which resulted in the election
of DAVID WILLS, &1., q., President ; B. SNYDER,
Vice President ; IT. F. THOMAS,' Rec. Sec. ;

A Melancholy Case.
At St. Louis, on the Ist instant, the body of
a well dressed and remarkably handsome man,
about 25 years of age, was found lying dead in
the street, and on his person was found a letter,
in which. after stating that he died by his own
hands, he says :
"My name is Francis Henry de Longville,
born in Paris, .Aprif 4th, 1828. My family was
ruined by an extensive—speculation in 1849. I
married one of those girls "Vf'whom the world
has few, and thought my happiness assured. I
quit lily native land with my little family in the
month of May, and disembarked at New Or
leans, July 24, 1854. But alas ! having tasted
happiness only during fifteen days, a frightful
calamity covered me with mourning. My poor
beloved wife was attacked with the terrible
cholera: after two hours of horrible suffering,
she expired. Hardly was she buried when my
poor little boy, aged three years, died of the
same disease. My despair was very great. But
God had still left me a little daughter of thir
teen months, whose smile gave me new strength
to resist in future, for in this poor little inno
cent I saw all the sweetness of her beloved
mother. I asked nothing more of God than to
live for my child.—But God was pleased to
strike me again, taking from me the only good
he had left me in the world. The 20th October
was the unhappy day on which I closed the
eyelids of my last treasure. Having then no
consolation left, I resolved to make an end of it.
Let no one blame, for every man of feeling
must understand what a burden life had become
to me." -
Join R. Montgomery, Esq., formerly of
Lancaster. and in this day, one of the ablest!!
and most distinguished Lawyers-in Peu.nsybal
vania, died at the State Asylum, near Harris
burg. on Friday week. His remains were taken
to Lancaster, and interred on Sunday.
PROFITABLS FARMING.--John W. Boyd, Esq.,
of Hagerstown, Md., purchased thirty acres of
land, adjoining that town, five years ago, at
$55 an acre. The Chronicle says his crop of
corn this year is the best in the county, and
adds: •
•-•- • • • asu
last week, and made a little over two hundred
and :twenty-five bushels, or about seventy-five
bushels per acre. Upon the same three acres
were also produced 140 lbs. of broom-brush,
worth $8 75, and 13 bushels of seed therefrom,
worth $5; also': 8 bushels of turnips, sold for $1
per bushel. Add to these the value of the fod
der taken from the corn, 120 - shocks atl.s cents,
the price for which it sold. and we have a to
tal of $264 75 as the product of three _acres,
or 88 25 per acre. The corn was planted three
feet each way, three stalks to the hill, and the
turnips were sown in the corn at the last plow-
ing."
STORMY WINTER.-It is predicted by the
weather-wise, that the ensuing winter will be
unusually stonily, marked with heavy falls of
rain or snow, or both. The prediction is based
upon ''the fact that about the same. amount of
water falls to the earth each year, and as much
less than the'usualproportion has fallen during
the last six months, the balance is to be made
up thia.winten—Partirtrok argus.
