Co.'s offered at Closing • Out Sale—Great P Bargainil far Thirty uays— Prices lLera than before the War. • The'semilannual clearance sales which have tantributed so much towards making Popular the, great dry goods emporium of; Messrs. Barker & Co., No. 59 Market street, ire very generally regarded in this ond,of the State as the hey-day for bargains end special occasion .. for the purohaso of 'desirable goods at extremely_low prices. In 1 I m order to acco mm odate the vast trade exclu sively monopOlized by this house—and of which it is eminently deserving—Messrs. Barker it Co. are compelled to purchase at the'opening of seasons immense stocks of goods in order ihattheir customers will find proper selectipri and variety. These largii quantities of goods, however, must be sold, for in the dry goods business no policy • is more suicidal than that of carrying from • one season to another any considerable portion of stook. After the-first and heavi est run of trade, which usually pets in even in advance of the , season, and when the or ders. have been generally supplied and business commences tosubside this ex perienced firm commence aienchegrand -turning of stock on hand into money, or in other words inaugurate the semi-annual Bales which open to purchasers such favor able fields. for bargains. The object of the clearance sale will be appreciated by merchants engaged in any line of business where the articles handled are subject to the rigid rules of change and fashion. So great is the desire of prudent merchants who are engaged as largely in the trade as Messrs. Barker & Co. to turn themselves I at the close of each season, that we once heard a deaArr., with boundless experience, say that "it pays to close out the stock be fore a new season comes on,• even if the goods have to be Oxon away." Barker &- Co. never go so far in their ideas on the subject as to actually distribute their goods gratuitously to all corners, big they ap proach that point very closely. They do not take into consideration what the goods cost them. Neither do they anticipate or calculate how much more Money they might realize by holding back the clear ance and awaiting :he slow order of things, dispose of nearly all in the usual routine of business. But looking at the magnitude H of the stock of dry goods of all descrip tions, cloaks, sacques, walking jackets, balmorals, blankets, flannehi and the thou sand and one articles which go to make up their \ assortaient -and which crowd their capacit salesrooms from basement to upperia t floor, they simply resolve for more ro):kin and less goods, and take the readiest method 0% accomplishing these ends., They with no hesitating pen mark down every yard of goods, every article lb the stock, to figures which none can call anything but cheaPhargaiiis, eery cheap bargains, and advertise that 'their special clearance sale has opened. Purchasers are invited to call through the coludins of the leading newspapers, and it requires on the part of the clerk and sales men no eloquence to convince any that a sacrifice of goods, whblesale and re tail, • is entered upen.\ The - figures won't He, but tell volumes of truth.- Everything is offered at \ a bargain, - and when the rash of custom fairly sets in the goods disappear as rapidly from shelves and - counters as snow before the san's.tnelting rays. In away the clearance sale is not profitable, but when it la con sidered that room is made for new`gooda the next season, that capital locked up in goods is set free and to the credit of the banking account of the firm, it_a pears more profitable than it looks ata first \ glance. On Monday next the great semi-annual 'clearance sale of winter goods .will com mence and continue during the next thirty days, as will be seen by advertiaement in another column. The departmenta of the house were never more complete. The ;goods - are all new, fresh and fashionable. and every article bas been reduced in. price, many of them bate; °faxed at prices less than prevailed anterior to the war. The clearance about to, be entered upon is promised to eclipse all that have been held by the house, and we trust none of our readers will fail to embrace themselies of its privileges and advantages during its continuance. undispolied mgo Mee )rily is, a A bidxderons fitre.t Mow—A' Man Terribly Butchered—Several , Pertiona Stabbed— • One Man net.

'The circumstances of the affair, as near as we could learn at the late hour of its occurrence, are as follows: It seems that a ball had been in prog 'nes during the evening in the "Con tinental" saloon, one of those sink holes of iniquity with whielu our city is cursed, located in the rear of the Mansion House on Liberty :street. Tile balr had been closed and the attendants were about separating when a difficulty, occurredt between a man named John AR:Donald and another man, whose. name •we failed_ to learn. McDonald it appears -*as yin company with one of the -female attdndents, whose company had been • previously solicited by the par ty with whom he bad the difficulty. The two men, after wrangling a; short time in *cords, by some, means got out into the alley in' the rear of the saloons where they,conmmenced.s fight. The flght,had not progressed far before .others wereattractod to thew:eine, and soon the row became general. Knives were drawn, pistols fired, bricks and stones sent , flyitig through the air with &reckless dis regard of anything and everything. The fighters ,gradually fought their way out from the alley and across Liberty street to the vicinity of Hand street, where it attrac ted the attention of Lieutenant ' Wilmot, who happened along that way and who im mediately summoned the police. At the time when the fighters werellrat noticed, one of them was • lying in the gutter sur rounded by about half a dozen others, who, With oaths and exclanaatfons to "kill him," him,'Pvere doing all in their power by means of , such weapons as _villains usually.

Upon the approach of the police, the party fled with the exception • of the map in the gutter, who was unable to do so, and another whom:the pollee Secur ed before he could *get off. The two .cap-. turgid men were taken to „ the Mayor's office, where they gave the names as John McDonald and John Bo,yle. McDonald, the man who had been lying in in the gutter, presented aspeptacle of blood and pounds shch as age , have seldom neon. •There was a long,,deep gash across' the right side of his face and temple, from which the blood "flowed uroftisely, covering his whole person.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the Fifth Session of the Pitts burgh Teacheis' Institute held last evening, in the hall of the Third Ward School build ing, was very largely attended and the pro; ceedings were of sanch , interest to all in at tendance. , The Institute was called to order at p o'clock by Mr. Geo. J. Luckey, City Supe - intendent. Mr., J. F. McCiymonds open d the proceedings withprayer. Mr. Luckey then introduced Hon. S. . Wickersham, State Superintendent of t e School Department, who delivered a practi cal and instructive address of about fifty ftve minutes' length, in which he .spoke of the improvements in the school system of the State, one evidence of this fact being thislnstitute _and another evidence was the action of the Pittsburgh Board of dm -1 trol in electing a City Superintendent. e was glad that they, in their selection, e cured such an able and efficient teach r and school worker as the present inou - bent, and trusted they might ever be o fortunate. It had become an axiom among persons of experience in school affairs t at no gocid public school system could be or ganiked or maintained without a Superin. tendent.. In most of the States where the school system was in practice nearly every city of ten thousand innabitants has its City Superintendent of Schools, and so well had it been found by, trial to operate,That no city within his knowledge had ever gone back to the old methoa Aof manage ment. In the course of his remarks on im provements, the speaker spoke of the im provement in school buildings, which he considered a very gratifying sign. Beier ence was made to the new school building in the Eleventh ward of Pittsburgh, which he characterized as one of the best buildings for the purpoie he had, ever examined. The 'speaker referred also to the present school census now being. taken in the city, and stated that he intended to bring befo r re the next Legislature the importance of tak ing such a census throughout the State.' Reference was made to the:High School and its advantages; and upon this . point the speaker dwelt at length. He was glad to hear of the project for a new , building for the High school, and hoped it would be carried into execution. A Normal School in connection' with the High School was, in the opinion of the speaker, one of • its most important adjuncts, and should at once be established. A:Normal School:prepared the best teachers, and good schools could not be maintained without good teachers, though everything else might be in perfect order. . . • In speaking to teachers on their particu lar work, the speaker observed that among the errors in practice was that of attempt ing to teach pupils things which they could not understand. Things which were above , theiryears. The evils of this course were apparent to the most careless observer. Another error was in endeavoring to teach children too much of that which they did understand, which"was nothing more than "cramming" the mind with ideas and knowledge, which were of no , avail, because the mind failed to receive any benefit from it. It was more than the mind could hold, and.hence it lost. all. _Another error was in teaching from the wrong stand-point. The proper and natural way tO.commence teaching was by objects, not by abstract 'efinitions, as was now generally pursued. Then, all teaching should be taught in a logical manner. All knowedge had its lOgical connections,land should •be taught accordingly. The teaching, above all other thingi„ should be done by a natural connected method. Several examples of the evil effects of teaching by any different method were given, developing very clear ly the idea. \ Another error was in basing the instruction on a basis ;: which was alto gether too narrow.lt is better to instruct a child in the elements'of many' thinga, in stead of confining , their stedies to a Sew, as at present practiced. , - - The gentleman continued his remarks at some length in a praCtical and instructive manner, and closed amid great epplanse. - On motion of Prof; Built, a vote of thanks was tendered to Prof. Wiekersham for his able and instrnctive addresS, After an intermission of \five minutes, Prof. J. Davis took the stand, and delivered an address about ten minutes in s length, on the subject of "Astronomy," illustrating his remarks by astronomical apparatus, -which had been invented by himself., Miss Seaver followed Mr. Davis, and ad dressed the Institute on school discipline. Dividing her remarks into two. divisions, the preventive and the curative, she took the ground that self-control in the teache was one of the most essential elements in the prevention of school disorder. Courte ousness was second only to self-control. The teacner should not only be courteous to the scholars, but also require courteous ness among the scholars toward each other. Another requisite was to keep the scholars busy, and to do this the teacher must pre pare herself for the day's work, study dili gently the best way and means of keeping the. scholars busy, and there will be but little difficulty on this point. rrequent recesses, singing and light um r oast ic exercises,were all good in their places and ()could 13e;w3ed with much advantage in the prevention of school disorder by the judicious teacher. If some scholars, how - ever, needed training, the best plan was to make the child* feel that the teacher. was interested in it and in sympathy with it. The law of kindness and, sympathy in this ease would inevitably conquer. The lady took ground against corporal punishment, except in extreme cases. In Syracuse, New York, corporal 'punishment was . aban doned in tho schools, and the result was that but eighty-five scholars were expelled in seven months, while for a correspond ing seven months, when corporal punish ment was practiced, the suspensions amounted to four hundred. The lady's reMarks were very practical and attracted much attention from the teachers present. At the close of Miss Seaver's address the Institute adjourned until to-day at 0 o'clock A. M. S , llnglug School. There is no accomplishment so pleasing as singing and with the majority of people correct vocalization is second nature. Training is necessary, however, and few understand. the proper system to adopt teaching or educating the voice. Prof. W.
