A brief 'recess was now had, followed by an ad dress on e lirliirdnetiki - by - Pref. Northiop. In opening, the Speaker alluded to the relation between. geometry and aritn. totic, and contended that the elements of t he former should be first taught in th schools.- -He discussed this proposi tion at some - length, and gave illustra tions of the manner in which instruction should be imparted. The juvenile choir then rendered a song in a &lasing :style ' _after which Aire. Mary H. Sthlth entertained the In stitute..with practical• illustrations of the Manner of'teaching geography. The speaker hel d -that, that, the teacher should never betir,s recitation Imams the mat tert(Which mayibe:biought out daring the recitation are perfectly ,familiaz to him or_her....ffeachers should endeavor to illOito:POPl4Vhinkft&itittirootitLeot in tit"' )etaial f Ottok ;4:obviate the tenden cy, now so prevalent, to rely exclusively on text books. -The' Wakes" then gave a class drill in geography showing how the study could be ma de profitable to teachers and pupils usingg 'the outline _map during the drill:This exercise was an interesting one, .and those present' paid the closest attention. _ The exercises of the morning twisted were brought .to a,close by Prof. jghoe-, maker, of Philadelphia, who gave a les son in elocutiOn,- reading I.Hamlet's ed 'vice to the , playera,” and "Charcoal," a humorous selection, after , which the In tstltute adjourned until two o'clock. EMI Com Manned at two o'clock. After the usual introductoty musical exercises, Rev. C. G. Braddock was in troduced and entertained the - institute with a discourse on the True and False, in relation to School Discipline: - .The Reverend gentlemim's remarks contain. ee many valuable and practical hints on the difficult question of enforcing disci's. line in the schools, which the teachers present would do well to pat in practice hereafter. ' • Dint Srnith was the next speaker. She continued her lecture on , 421eography, U. luatrating and enforcing by the outline map, her idea of tesobing, in an interest ing manner.. • Prof. B.

Rev. Thos. K. Beecher next addressed the Institute, on the subject of "Govern ment and the execution of laws." The speaker, in his remarks, contended that in a government like burs, the principle of free and universal education must, as an essential , principle, be recognized and.' provisions accordingly made for .its sup port. The experiment of 'self-govern ment, ifever successful, would be so only in a govecTment where. knowledge among the masses was encouraged. In America the greatest- , reason of her success could be traced to the re dnement and culture of the people. lie further argued that an educational de .partment should be attached to , the na tional government; - . lgnorance is dan gerous to the State, and Should be done away with if at all possible. The speaker concluded by; expressing feai that the Republic Was in greater _peril from 'a large portion of its popula ' don being devoid of that degree of intel ligence necessary to make good citizens, than frbm any other danger, and urgently, appealed to the friends of education and patriots everywhere - tb make strenucura exertions to advance educational !iodides throughout the country.

He said that it must strike the jury that Duffey. was a very bad man, and, in his way, an able man. Were , It not for his testimony the Commonwealth's case ' would have no foundation, and there could be tie Conviction.
