Teachers' Institute at Penysville.
Pursuant to anuouBsenx-nCtlie Nine
teenth Annual Institute of the Teachers
of Juniata county opened on Monday,
Nov. 25, 1872, at the Public School
builJinga iu the borough of Perrygville,
and continued in session nntil Friday
evening.
The attendance of, and epirit manifest
ed by teachers aud friends of education
was btyond anything that had ever been
witueesed of the kind in the county. On
the evening of Monday it was found that
a larger room had to be secured, and the
Institute at once repaired to the commo
dious hall of Airy View Academy, which
was very timely tendered by Professors
Wilaou and Pattereon for the entire week.
The days were devoted to school room
exerefses, modes of teaching, readings,
music, See , except Thursday forenoon,
when the Institute adjourned to the Pres
bytetian church, where a very appropri
ate Thanksgiving sermon was delivered
by Rev II G. Shiudle.
The morning sessions were opened
with prayer by the resident clergymen,
who manifested gieat iutereet in the
work.
There were one hundred and nine
teachers enrolled eighty-eight actual
teachers of the county beiug iu attend
ance. Monday evening was occupied by a
discussion ou "How to excite interest in
study," by the teachers of the county,
and an address by Superintendent Robi
son, on the erection1 of a monument to
the distiiigu'iehed. educators of the State.
Tuesday Evening. A lecture by Dr.
J. II. Shoemaker '-Primitive Man."
This was a highly interesting and mas
terly effort. It is curious to know bow
man got along before the use of soap
and iron.
Wednesday. Ilouse packed. Ad
dress by David Wilson, A. M. " Plea
for female teachers " "Common School
System," by Prof. F. A. Allen, of Mans-
field, Tioga county. " Geography, by
II I Gourly, of Pittsburgh.
Evening. Lecture on ' Compulsory
Education," by Prof A. J. Patterson.
The Professor is in favor of it, and gives
sound and sensible reasoning. A lecture
by Dr. D. D Stone, and address by
Prof. Allen "Traiuing Children "
Thursday Evening An elocutionary
aud musical entertainment by Dr. Shoe
maker. Selections from the best and
most popular authors, ancient and mod
em, were read, showing the reading of
different styles of composition.
On Friday Dr. Shoemaker delivered
his fourth lecture on English Grammar
This series was thorough, complete and
practical. The many notes taken by
the teachers will tell in the future, as
many difficult point and sentence were
unraveled and made clear.
Prof. Wilson on " Manners in Chil
dren." The lecturer showed how very
much teachers can and ought to do in
smoothing the rudeness and roughness of
children.
Prof. Allen, of Mansfield, delivered
many pleasing and instructive lectures on
various practical school-room topics. He
is a fiieud and advocate of the " xcorj
method," and would not teach a child
the alphabet. lie would not allow a
child to study or prepare a lesson nor
have its reading book at the seat, be
causo children learn errors which it is
difficult to unlearn. lie would banish
three-fourths of the "so called good old
systematic ways of instructing now in
use in our common schools." The Pro
fessor advanced some very good ideas,
and others that are very new in this
county, or else not so very good.
Teachers elected on Permanent Certi
ficate Committee are Wellington Smith,
Miss Mary E. Ramsey and Miss Marion
P. Aurand. which with Messrs. J. M.
Garman and D. A. Barman, who bold
diplomas, constitute the Committee for
this year.
The closing address of David E. Rob
ison, County Superintendent, was of a
very encouraging character, alluding to
the wise counsel given and able lectures
and addresses made during the week,
hoping that all would return to thWr
places of teaching with renewed zeal,
and better qualified to teach than ever.
One marked feature of the Institute,
and one that had hitherto been lacking
was the abundance of excellent music
furnished by the Department, and so ad
mirably performed by a choir of teachers
and students of Airy View The songs
of Dr. Shoemaker will long linger upon
the ears of the teachers of Juniata.
RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions on the death
of teacher George E. Hench were passed

too much liberty. They are restix-e un

results. Tbey have seen them on the

felt them as their own older children

all this, as well as against common judg

their sons forth to riot and dissipation.
In a short time they lose control of them,

remarking at the funeral of a member of

ters worse, the following Sunday, by
saying, "There is a family in the church
who are my enemies for the reason that
I did not say that the soul of a sot was

2archesa Garibaldi
Thk rkd-suirt hkro's second wife
mystery amd romance.
Miliair Letter to the Boston Advitiser
Near Como is a palatial villa, with
forest-like grounds, which is one of ttie
many villas belonging to the father of
Garibaldi's second wife, the Marchess.
Be has refused 750 000 francs for this
villi dell' Ormo, but it is said he will
take a million if offered. In it and on
its vast grounds was held the Como ia
dustriul and agricultural exhibition of
this season, which event gave me a
chance to see the building The villa
has some superb halls in it, and the
grounds are tery large.
A gentleman who sat next me the
other day at a dinner party gave me a
little bit of a romance about the Marcbesa
Garibaldi, as the secoud wife of the fa
mous Italian general is called. I had
heard that she was the wife of Garibuld'i
"Not at all," said my diuner-table com
panion, a Milanesa Court, who knew all
about the strange affair ; "she is the sec
ond wife of the General himself, i-'lie
left him the day after the wedding, and
they have never met since."
I looked all the questions I was dying
to ask, npon which he added, with a
laugh aud a shrug as if he knew more
than was propor to tell at that moment.
"No reasons were ever given on either
side."
The subject was dropped, but it recall
ed to me a strange story I had heard
some years ago of a second marriage of
Gaiiba ldi's, ar.d which seived well to
join on to the unfinished or broken link
that my dinner acquaintance had given
me. 1 II tea it to you aa it was told me,
and you can join the two litiks or not.
just as javt please.. It was at least a
dozen years ago. The lady was young
titled rich, haudsome and fast. No name
was given me. She conceived a desper
ate, passiouate admiration for the famous
"Liberator of Italy." She was young
enough to be Garibaldi's daughter, and
j ws posing men, as be nas always lor
tho iuconsolabie widower the celebra
ted "Anita,' his first wife, who accom
panied him through mrany of bis adven
tures, aud whose sad death has been so
often aud so toucbingly described ; is
supposed to be the only love of Garibal
di's lifo. Nevertheless, the marriage took
place between the General and the young
Lombardy marchess. But sad to relate
on the wedding day, after the ceremony,
Garibaldi received information, with nn
doubted proofs, of the immorality cf bis
young bride. Why had he not been
told sooner ? I cannot tell you anything
but the simple story as I heard it. When
the newly married pair were left alone.
Garibaldi told bis young wife what he
had heard, but added, if you say you are
an honest woman, I will take your word.
"But if I cannot, what then V asked
the Marchesa.
"We must part forever this very mo
ment " replied Garibaldi.
The young woman turned, left her
husband of an hour, and never saw him
again. It is said that the stories against
her character were false, and the young
girl though gay was innocent. But ber
pride was so wounded at the charge be
ing made by her husband at that mo
ment, and in such a peremptory manner,
that sbe scorned to justify herself ; his

sious and broke the charm of her love.
I saw the Marchesa Garibaldi at one
of the regettas on Lake Como early in
September. Sbe is about 35 years old
I should think ; a handsome but coarse
looking woman, has fierce, defiant eyes,
dark skin, heavy dark hair parted on
one side ; thrust through the thick
braids at the back was an oxauized silver
sabre, placed in the same way that the
Trastevere tortoise shell dasgi-rs are worn
in the bair. She was dressed very simp
ly in seta cruila, or raw silk, costume,
and round bat with cock-of-the wood's
featber.
That's Bow. After a great snow
storm, a little fellow began to shovel a
path through a large snowbank before
bis grand -mother's door. He had noth
ing but a small shovel to work with.
"How do you expect to' get through
that drift 1" asked a man Who was pass
ing along
'By keeping at it,' said the boy cheer
fully ; "that 'a how I"
That is the seoret of mastering almost
every difficulty under the sun. If a hard
task fs before you, stick to it. Do not
keep thinking how large or hard it is,
but go at it and little by little it will
grow smaller, until it is done.
If a hard lesson ia to be learned, do
not loose a breath by saying, "I can't"
or "I do not see bow ?" but go at it and
keep at it. Study. That is the only
way to conquer it. If a fault is to be
cured, or a bad habit bioken up, it cannot
be done by merely being sorry, or only
trying a little. You must fight it, and
not give up fighting until u ia got rid
of.

A Somontis Lawsuit.
A very remarkaMe lawsuit; Jays the
LoClsfiHe iedger, which has been for
some time pending in the courts of Ken
tucky and Indiana, was brought to a ter
mination a day or two ago by the agree
ment of the parties to the suit to a com
promise. It will be remembered that some years
ago a German gentleman named Gustavus
Schurman resided in Louisville. lie was
the possessor of a considerable .nrouot of
property, lived in good style, drove fine
horses, sported a footman in livery and
claimed to be a German tobleman. He
was married to a German lady, had a
young and interesting family, and to all
j appearances was prosperous and happy,
! Rut, as in so many families, there was a
j ghost iu this one, the secret of whose
j existence' did not come to light nntil the
j death of the principal actor in bis littlo
; social drama.
Otistavus was a resident of Aix Ia
Cbnbelle, a little city in Rhenish Prussia
pursued the business of Cloth manufac
turer, and was what might be considered
well off, bis real and personal estate be
ing worth about JltfO'.OOO tbalcrs. of
about $100 000. Beloved, or thought
he loved, a lady named Amelia Eberhar
dine Coll, daughter of one of the royal
counsellors, and in l? he proposed
marriago, was accepted, aud the marriage
was performed in that year. An ante
nuptial coutract was tntered into between
the two, according to the code Napoleon,
which was in fora? at Aix la Chapelie by
which in case of the death of the hus
band b'dore the wife she became entitled
to one eighth in fee simple of his entire
estate, aud one-fourth of the estate during
her lifetime, besides having a community
of interest in all acquis! ions to the com
mon fund after marriage, which commun
ity of interest "ou?d entitle her to one
half. The two lived happily together for
some time or apparently so. The life of
the wife, however, was soon rendered
wretched by the discovery that another
had snpplanted her in her husband's
affections. This, however, w!3 not ex
actly the case ; it was she in reality who
had taken the place which nature had
assigned to another. Schurman bad in
his employ a number of factory girls, one
of whom Catherine Bengels, was possess
ed of more than ordinary beauty. The
impressible yotAig bachelo was smitten
with her beauty, but the inexorable laws
of society governing the little Rhenish
province in which lie lived held over him
a terror of proscription which prevented
bim from doing that which bis heart
prompted. Be loved Catherine Bengels
and his love was returned ; but he mar
ried Amelia E. Goll, who brought to him
a prond nama and an extensive dower.
But for the crimo which Schurman had
committed against his nature he was am
ply puui.-hed. .
His married life was uuliappy, while
bis love for the lowly Catherine Bengels
became even more intense, now that it
was impossible for them to be legally
united. They met clandestinely, and tho
intercourse coming to the knowledge of
the nnhappy wife, she became distressed
beyond measure, upbraiding her husband
with bis perfidy, and threatened divorce.
This rendered the husb.ind desperate,
and, opeuly avowing his attachment took
Cutherine Bengels into his domicile Be
coming discontented with this Condition
of ttiinga, RoLurmna decided upou emi
grating to America, and came to thit
couutry. Be returned iu 1813, end
gathering together whit projierty bfl
could, departed in 1S"0 for the United
States, in company with Catherine lien-
gels Before hi departure his wifa in
stituted suit for1 divource. On the arri
val of Schurman he proceeded to Louis
ville, where be took up his residence,
and sued for a divjurce. from his wife
Amelia, which was granted, h-u he im
mediately married the woman who bad
eloped with him.
Gustavus Schurman purchased real
estate iu Indianapolis aud Louisville and
by his tact and business management in
creased Lis wealth to over a million of
dollars. At the time of his death lie had
seven children two by his first wife and
five by his second wife. In making his

two German heirs, and his AnwrL-aa
property to his American hoi s.
The first wife, Amelia, learning of the
death ol ber husband, obtained possession
by legal process, of the Prussian estate,
and sued for her share, as per marriage
contract, of the decedent's estate in
America. Her son Gustavus F. Schur
man represented her with powers of at
torney, and the ablest lawyers in the cliy
were employed to prosecute the case.
The pleadings were voluminous, and as a
vast amount of property was involved,
great interest was manifested iu the re
sult. It appeared, however, that as the
case progressed the plaintiff weakened
somewhat in enforcing ber claims. Be
ing in foreign country, and copies of
proceedings in foreign court being fre
quently rendered necessary as testimony
in the American courts, the became
Wearied, and finally agreed to a et.oipro-'
mise by accepting, in lieu of all claims,
the sum of one hoadred thousand dollars.
