Reading by Mrs. Anna T. Randall, but
as that lady had not arrived the Insti
tution would be entertained for a short
time by Prof. Squires. Prof. Squires
stated that he wished to say a few words
on school discipline. He did not be
lieve in that method which held the rod
threateningly over the head ofthe child,
and ruled by fear. That was a barbar
ous practice. He favored the Reward
and Merit system. This appealed most
strongly to the hearts of the children.
All were seeking merit. It was true of
adults, and much more so of the chlidten.

effect Would ening be seen in the greater
improvement of the school and with
very considerably less. trouble.

Mrs. having by this time
arrived, took the stand and occupied
half an hour in Illustrating her method
of Introducing the teaching •of correct

was to Instruct them in tones of voice,

the best exercises for explaining this to
children was by whispered readings,

the differ

Earroas..—As .Councils will
meet next Monday, it may not, be out of
place to call their attention to the fact
that the people in the upper wards are
anxiously awaiting their decision in ref
/
Bronco to the building of u new market
house ou the Lyon's lot, as recommend
ed by the Market Committee. The mat
ter has been under considerition for a
long time, and certainly ample opportu
nity hae been given every fnember of
Councils to form an opinion. Of the ne
cessity of a market building somewhere
in the locality, there can be no doubt,
and if the 'wishes and convenience of the
people to be benefltted are consulted at
'all, the market house will be built on
the spot indicated without further delay.
It seems hardly necessary to dwell at
length on the many advantages pos.
sassed by this site over that of
others which can be procured. The
cheapness at which the property
is offered, and the favorable terms of the
Payments; the central location in the
heart of the most populous section of
the upper portion of the city; the size
of the lot admitting of the erection of a
large and first-class building; and, per
haps the strongest item in its favor, the
urgent desire of the taxpayers who will
be saddled with the expense to have it
located there, are facts all well known
to the members of Councils, and need
no repetition. The subject has already
been thoroughly canvassed, and can as
well be settled at the next meeting of
our City Fathers as though it were to be
agitated for'years. The citizens, 'there
fore, who are suffering for want of more
markej facilities respectfully but ear
neatly suggest a decision and settlement
of the case at the earliest possible mo
ment.
A Clerical Gathering.
EDS. GAZETTE: At the request of Rev.
Wm.. Collier, D. D., of our town, the
pastors of the Methodist churches of
Pittsburgh paid him a visit on Thurs
day last. After a social chat, and a mu
trial interchange of feeling, the company
was entertained with some very choice
music. Miss Ellea Steer, of Georgetown,
D. C.,
_ptesided at the piano, and Revs.
Clark, Rine, Patten, Evans and Colhouer,
led the vocal part to the satisfaction of all
present. At 23i o'clock, r. m., the guests
were invited to dinner—and such a one,
too, as the Collier family only can pre
pare. Rev. Dr. Reeves was appointed
master of ceremonies, and hence "all
things were done decently and in order."
After the sumptuous repast, the young
pesters were informed of some attic)
hardships and trials of the early itiner
ant life in republican Methodism, and
enjoined to revere, venerate and respect
the fathers in the church, In considera
tion of the many hardships and priva
tions they endured in order to establish
non-Episcopal Methodibal. They had cir
cuits and• stations to organize, and
churches to build, and everything. to do
that is incidental to a new enterprise;
but now it is otherwise; churches are
built—and over thirty annual Conferences
are organized—colleges endowed, and
book concerns instituted, and every ap
pliance necessary to success is now in
possession of the church, and it is prosper
ing numerically, financially and influ
entially in a glorious manner. The
visit terminated at a seasonable period,
all arreeinc that' "it was good to be
there." More anon,

• The ConUnental.'
The Continental Saloon, - Fifth avenue,
below the Postoilice, as conducted by the
accomplished proprietor, Mr, William
Holtzheimer, is deservedly one of the
most popular and fashionable restaurants
in the city, a fact which is made apparent
from the character of its patrons, who
number representatives from all the
trades and professions, mercban CS,
brokers, lawyers', doctors, mechanics
and ministers. The chief reason for its
popularity consists. aside from the daily
fare, which is of the first order, in the
neat, clean and tasteful manner in which
food is prepared- and placed before the
patrons. This is a desideratum not
found elsewhere, but which is certain to
be properly appreciated, and, as in the
case of the Continental, make the res
taurant•where it is found popular and
successful. Meals are served at all
hours, and our readers may call and test .
the Continental for themselves.

unsealing. Take one pound of rosin and
a table spoonful of lard and melt them
together, the lard r ndering the rosin less

then take a piece of strong muslin, larger
than the opening in the can, smear one

when cool smear the upper surface of the
