THE TEACHERS' WORE.,
IPlttsbnigb. Teachers'
Annual SieSti proceed-
Institue—Sec ond
. Inge' liateresting and lustrucUve.
Yesterday afternoon, the Pittsburgh
Teacn;s' Institute commenced its sec
ond a ual Session in the Hall orllre
Ralston schoolhouse, Penn street.
Thanumber in attendance was quite
large; for the opening and promised
well for the continuance of the sessions.
At half past two o'clock. the Institute
weir, called to order by Prof. Luckey,
City :Superintendent-
Miss Jennie Ralston . was appointed
Secretary. The organization of the Insti
tute was then proceeded t with.
Prof. Burt presented a series of rules,
which set forth; he object of the institute
to be the promotion of a fraternal feeling
among the teachers of Pittsburgh, and
the auoption of such measures as would
tend to better 4ualify them for their
duties. Provision was made for perma
nent officers of the association, and the
holdinit of annual meetings. The asess
ments were settled not to exceed five
dollars for gentlemen, and twofer ladies,
designed
annually, which was to defr
the expenses of, the Institute in addition
to those provided for by the State Laws.
The rules, 'as read, were adopted.
PERMANENT OFFICERS.
Messrs. Hammond, and Stevenson, and
Miss Caldwell were appointed a commit
tee to nominate permanent officers. After
a short absencothe ooninrittee returned
and presented the following nomina
tions.
Vice Presidents, C. A. Kenaster and
L. H. Eaton,
Secretaries Missr,Ralston and Mr. Harri
son.
treasurer C. A. Kenaster.
Executive Committee, Prof. Andrew .
Burt, Ur R. H. Kelley, Miss. Mary
Proudfoot.
The report was received and the nomi
nees unanimously elected.
Prof. Luckey made a few remarks
upon the object of the Institute in re
lation 'to the teachers work. He said
the teachers calling was one of great re
spensiblity, and those who engaged in it
should take every opportunity to im
prove and fitly qualify themselves , for
its duties: If they wished tolexert a pro.
per influence in the community they
must honor the profession by faithfully
and conscientiously endeavoring to im
prove every opportunity for its eleva
tion. The teaching of twenty years ago
advanced and knowledge was now
more general. The teachers responsibili
ties and requirements =were consequent
thatere more onerous. He noped
the object of the Institute in en
couraging the toacners of Pittsburgh
diffusing a more fraternal spirit among
them, and in inaugurating a desire for
greater excellence, would be felt in their
future progress.
The Allegheny Quartette Club, under
the leadership of Prof. W. B. Slack, now
enlivened the' occasion with a beautiful
selection, entitled,
"Work for - the night Is coming."
DRAWING IN THE scaoOas.
A very interesting practical lecture,
was next delivered by bates Grace King,
of Boston.. The lady stated that her
remarks would be merely preperatory to
a series of lectures on this important
branch of study, which she had been in
formed was greatly neglected in the
Public Schools of Pittsburgh. She then
gave a sketching outline of her method
of teaching the beautiful science and
closed by stating that in future lectures,
the details would be more fully given.
Prof. James L. Harrison foilovired in a
lecture about half an hour long, on the
subject of English Literature, past and
mesent. The lecturer
mended more more careful studystron of gly
this im
portant branch of study. on the part of
the teachers, as a means of improvement
and a source of delight. The lecture
was finely written and contained many
beautiful thoughts, which commanded
the attention of the Institute throughout.
Prof. Slack. assisted by the members
of the Institute, next sung with.thriiling
effect, •
"may country 'tie of thee."
Prof. Burtt announced that the election
of a Committee on Permanent Certificates
would take place this morning, every
member of the institute being allowed
the privilege of voting.
Superintendent Luckey stated that the
county allowed one dollar for everythree teachers present at the Institute,
and urged upon all the most earnest en
deavora to secure the attendanceef every
teacher.
The roll was then called! by the Secre
tary, Mr. Harrison.
Prof. Burst stated that all friends of
education, whether directors, teachers
in private or public schools, might be
come members of the Institute by en
rolling their names and paying the initi
ation fee required by the raise. J
TEACHES&
A discussion next ensued, upon the
question, "what should we seek to ac
complish by means of the Teachers' In
stitute." -
Prof. L. B. Eaton opened the discus
sion by remarking that Teachers' Insti
tutes were beginning to assnme an im
portance which in.-former -times they
nad not, and in connection with their
increasing importance the questions
arose, how can they be made more effec
tive, what shall 6e their main object.
He thought the principal aim of every
Institute should be to encourage the
teacher, inspire them with a renewed
love for their profession, inspire them
with
improverespect, e .
that when such a teacher returned to the
school room the influence of the Inad
lute would be felt there in greater effi
ciency. To carry out this object every
one should attend for the purpose of be
ing benefitted, and then they would en
gage hi the exercises with the proper
feelings and the result could not be
eatiefactory.
Professor Luckey followed and said it
had been his lot frequently to hear teach
ers complain about attending Institutes.
Be had often wondered at thisond upon
inquiry among those dissatis fi ed, he die.
covered that one reason was urged that
the affair was "too dry." In answer to
this argument, however, he had never
heard one teacher With a proper zeal for
the calling or one who had engaged see
tively in the exercises, oolnplain that
the eXemisesWere net interesting. The
affair was in the h teachers
themßelves, and they could Make the
Institute just what they pleased. It
would be afailure if they were not Inter
ested. It would be a success if they did
their duty.
Mr. Kelly said that one reason of the
failure of Inistitutes could be directly
traced to lectures, remarks, speeches,
stled. all of which were forein to the
tea y cher's work entirely. If the g Institute
was simply a place for the improvement
of its members, then those subjects only
which bad special reference to their work.
should be treated of. Then the Institute
could not - fail of success.
Brief remarks on the same subject
were made by Messrs. Patterson, Harri
son and Prof. Burtt, after whibh the dis
cuselon closed.
Piot .Burtt announced the following
hours for the Sessions of the Institute:
morning seLelon, from 9 to 11% -o'clock;
afternoon somilon, frost" 1% to 4N o'clock;
PITTPURGH GAZETTE : TUESDA
..
evening Session, fisnis 7% tdii% o'clock.
Prof. SlaCk_then sang.
-• `The Bice t by and bV."
After which the Institute adjourned until
7% o'clock.
Eiening Session.
Commenced: at the appointed hour.
Tne exercises were opened with a mu
sical selection by Prof. W. B. Slack, ac
companied by the audience, entitled
Crown him Lord of all."
DISCUSSION BESUNED.
Prof. Burt stated it had been decided
to postpone the lecture of ReV. Mr. Ev
ans
until Thursday evening, 'and sub
stitute for it a discussion on the question,
' , what can be done to elevate teaching
to the rank of the learned professions.'
Prof. Burtt opened the aiscussion by
stating that the first step in the matter
would be to assume that it was such a
profession. There was a time when near
-15,1311 the now so called learnedlProfess .
ions were low in the scale, and only
were raised first by an assumption that
they were of a higher grade. The as.
samiption being taken, it was then
necessary- that teachers act worthy of
their claims. It thus became a matter
with the teacher alone. Another help
would be to secure some uniformity in
i the method of granting certificates, so
that the aspirant would De compelled to
put forth intellectual elliart to secure a
position, and then when a certificate was I
obtained It would be certainly a guaran
tee that the . possessor was entitled
to some rank in the profession. In ele
vating teaching also, a great deal of
weeding would: be required. All those
[ not q ualified off the
list. This alsoshould
was abe matter s witivthe
teachers themselves. They must de
mand ot the C.,un that
unqualified persons ty
be rigidly Superintendent
excluded
from -getting certificates.
Superintendent Luckey followed in
opposition to Prof. Burt, and said that
the greatest difficulty in t the matter was
that no county or city superintendent
wished to sxercise the one.man power,
and strike off teachers whom they found
in the possession of certificates.
Prof. 11. S. Jones, of Erie. said teachers
Must not -bow too low. Every teacher
should say, "I'll teach, with a polish,"
and If they did. that they would gain a
character, a reputation and rise in the
profession. To do this, however, there
must be love for the work; behind every
action of the brain there! must be a
hearty loving impulse. The gentleman
continued his remarks for some time in
an entertaining manner.
The Allegheny Quartette Club sung,
.in their , usual excellent style, a ballad
entitled
. • `There' s beauty In the summer flowers."
On motion a Committee on Finance.
was appointed consisting of Mr. Andrews,
Miss. Manspeaker, auct Miss. Thompson.
Mr. R. Kelley, of Lawrenceville con
tinued the discussion and dwelt for
some time upon the matter of granting
certificates, and
ng contended that the
grade of teachi was much higher than
it was 'twenty years ago. Farther re
marks were made by Messrs. Burtt,
Harrison and Andrews and Superenten
dent Luckey, which closed the discus
sion.
Rev. Wm. Evans next read "Pickwick's
'adventure with a lady MI yellow curl'
papers" which was well received and
created great merriment.
The Allegheny Quartette then favored '
the audience with another eelection, en
titled
'Sweet sod low."
The Institute 'then adjourned until this
morning at nine o'clock. The following
is the programme for today:

• QUEEEitiiIVARL: I
An Old Established Rouse hi a *OW
Place—lmported ' and Atatttititi
- Queeusware and Wnere to Puttbilee,
It ia always a pleasure to us to ygaora
the success and prosperity of
houses that were established In the iti;,
fancy of our city, and have kept steadily
growing with it into importance. VoW
among the old houses of this city, dating
back their origin nearly half a century,
have preserved a higher character And
reputation than that of Messrs. H. Rigby
& Co., who have but recently removed
their wholesale and retail salesrosims to
No. 189 Liberty street, a few doora abceie
Sixth, late St. Clair street. Established
in A. D. 1828, it was the pioneer of the
particular line of business, known un
der the caption of the gueensw,are and
crockery trade. True, prior to that
period, plates and cups, saucers and
chamber sets, were sold in the city; but
no house had entered into the business
as a marked and exclusive specialty until
Mr. 'Rigby, the senior of the present well
conducted house, ventured in tho
direction. Other houses; followed in the
course of time, and to-day the queens
ware specialty for ma no unimportant item
-
in the commercial statistics of the city.
It must be a matter of congratulation to
Mr. Rigby, who now presides over one of
the most elegant as well, as one of the
best stocked houses of the character in
the city, that through its long biteiness
history the house has maintained seams
which has never been associated with
anything but what was honorable; and"
that many of the original customers still
bestow their patronage, and their chil
dren atter them follow in their example,
never having had occasion to change to
elsewhere in their dealings. Mr. Albert
Higb, the other member , of the firm,
brother of the senior, has also been long
identified with the firm, and has charge
of the active business management,
making close study of what is needed by
thatrons of the house and osin much
care p
and lodgment in making his g
selec
tions.
The firm recently obtained possession
of the elegant and commodious funrstory
brick building at No. 189 Liberty street,
and thoroughly refitted it to suit the re
quirements
of their trade. Exteriorly it
presents a very neat and commanding
appearance, no tawdry ornamental work
or cheap finish about it, but, like its oc
c
is suppli ed with two ,fine display win-
dows which are stocked with attractive
articles of gueensware, silver goods, flint
glass ware, statuary and ornamental
goods. This floor is the chief salesroom
for wholesale and retail purchasers, and
and in it will be found an almost endless
assortment of fine imported wares, an
enumeration of which would be
ving, on
impossi
ble here. The casing Shelving
either side, is of novel pattern, part orig
inal and part adopted, presenting a
very chaste appearance. -The counters
are of new style known as pyr
amids, and are models of beauty,
especially when graced with the
fine French and English wares upon
them. We noticed several French sets
direct from Limoges, near Paris, which
are sat put together in pieces as- to serve
both for tea and dinner sets. The moss
rose set on exhibition is especially wor
thy of note, being asp retty as any could I
desire to grace the boards. There are I
other beautiful sets which we might es
pecially designate, but those of our read
ers interested should call and see and
judge for themselves the merits and at
tractions of the stock. The -counting
room is on this floor, and is arranged
with neatness and propriety. The
second floor is occupied with a
heavy stock of granite and glass
ware, while the third floor
contains common goods and yellow
crockery. The basement has be e ne floored
and is kept dry and clean.
is here
that the goods in original crates are kept,
and we found a large number awaiting
opening which had just arrived. The
basement is suplied with a le
bathtubatent
heating furna p ce, a fine and
range for supplying hot and cold water
throughout the building. The goods of
the firm are received, packed and
shipped from the roar of the salesrooms ,
by way of an alley, and in order to es
cape the dust and dirt the shipping de
pa rtm vid ent, from basement to fourth floor,
is proed with doors and partitione, by
means of which all communication is
shut off with the main body of the build
ing. The advantage of this
iated modern
idea will be ' fully apprec by
those who know how much annoyance
and damage to goods is caused by
the dirt and' ust which float in the ai
and settle in d everything in the apart
r
ments while crates are being filled or
emptied. On the whole the new house
of the firm is a splendid one and could
not well be better adapted to its pave
ur
poses. The firm propose, as they h
uniformly heretofore done, to keep a
large and judiciously assorted stuck or
goods on hand wherewith to supply their ,
wholesale and retail customers. They
are content with reasonable profits, and
makin no false representations in auy
directio g
n, confidently relying on still re
ceiving that generous share of patronage
hitherto awarded them by a discri
formtheinam
t
ing community, and we hope
such a large share of trade in their new
place as is warranted by their enterprise
and faikdealing.
Last his Pocket Book. -
Mr. Boyd, a merchant from Six Mile
Ferry, while in the dity on business yes
terday morning lost his pocket book con
taining ninety five dollars. In the Dia
mond near where the pocket book was
lost, Mr. Jacob Dingier who was employ
ed in a-store near at band, states that he
saw Mr. Martin, a young man from
Turtle Creek, pick up a pocket book in
the street. In justice to Mr. Martin we
will state that •he was arrested and
thornughly searched but no pocket book
answering the disoription of the one lost
was found in his possessions. Be was
consequently discharged.

.....“tfrostamPlataboroleJletlioat.lftwaa
In a person whose growth is.stationary
the qUantity of food passing into the
body in a given time is exactly , equiva
lent to the quantity of.matter passing
sway in the various excretions.
The whole of the food is dissolved in
the body, and the greater portion 'is ab
sorbed ititO the blood to renew the is.
sues, the nourishment of the body being
dependent upon this quality of the blood.
A rich blood favors nutrition and
growth, vsbilst a diseased quality of
blood depresses and destroys that which
is already formed.
. Whilst the blood thus gives out to each
organ or part of the body-the meanswith
of
repairing itself, bY furnishing it
material of growth, it at the same time
washes away, as it were, whatever ele
ments of their tissues that have become
diseased, worn out or useless.
These are passed off in the excretions,
and in healthy adults exactly correspond
in amount with the quantity of food
taken.
Whim the body becomes diseased the
urinary excretion gives out these dis
eased particles in excess while the de
cline of the body is going on.
_ The same when any organ or part of
the body only becomes diseased ;"the
urinary excretion gives out an excess of
i
e
diseased particles from thatyart, when a
decay of.tha organ is going on. • •
These Uri o-PatholOgical facts are so
apparent, es cially in chronic diseases,
that every p ysician having the welfare
of his patient at heart should, in pre
scribing remedies, watch their influence
upon theurine, and persevere in that par
ticular remedy which produces the most
healthy condition. of that- fluid, for it
points ,out with certainty the changes
made in the condition of any and
every
organ of the body. These urine-chem.
icaJ investigations have been our con
stant practice' for more than twenty
years. And we would jast say, that they
have revealed to us the existence of
many serious diseases long before other
modes of ,investigation had been able to
indicate them, and have throWn a flood
of light upon the cause, progress and
treatment of many chronic diseases which

Damage . by Lightning in Washington
County.
The barn, stable, corn crib and spring
house of Thos. M. Patterson, an exten
sive farmer residing in Cross
township, Washington couxty,. rven .
miles southeast d
of
by Burgettstoon wii, were
totally destroye tire Saturday
evening last. The stable was struck by
lightning and the other buildings took
lire from it. The buildings, except the
barn, were erected within two years, and
the barn was very large. Mr. Patterson,
who, with another person, was in the
stabe when it was struck, is suffering
considerable pain from the shock. No
horses were lost, but everything else was
burnt that would be on a first class farm,
from a mowing machine to a hay fork,
three buggies, one spring wagon, and
the larger portion of his wool, hay, grain,
etc. There were no rods on the building.
Loss from eight to ten thousand dollars.
Leaves for Europe.
Thomas Costarnagna, Esq., late of the
Steubenville Herald, and formerly busi
miss manager of the GAZETTE under its
previous ownership, a gentlettan widely
known and esteemed in the general bu
siness community. will leave New York
today for Turin,ltaly, whither he goes
to settle the estate of his father, an emi
nent banker of that city, who recently
died. Mr. Costamagna will go by way
of London and Paris, and promises to
furnish the readers of the GAZETTE with \,
sketches by the wayside from his grace-
he
ful and relined pen, a task for which
is admirably fitted, as he is a linguist of
ability, being able to converse in nearly
all the polite languages spokenin Europe.
and thus will be enabled to gather much
interesting matter and goss' n which
would escape the ordinary traveler. We
wish him a safe journey and speedy re
turn to our own city where he leaves so
many friends and acquaintances.
