Clerical work is good enough for young men ; it gives system, method ; but clerical work should lie oul- grown as soon as jioasible, because it degen- enites into nmtiue work.

The preachers talk without fear of criticism ; if a preacher thought be was to be followed by some one disputing every niint he laid down, he'd tie more can ful : preachers should have more individuality ; we hear ladi.-ssuy sonieiinies. "our preacher can't preach much but he's nnf,il good." Well, so is a sweet potaio g'd. When a man claims to know everything, that's ihe man you want to inteb ; a I-oui'Ville man ,eiil some time in I Palestine looking up the records ; he gave a ; he'd been given anot -er hour, and he'd an swer ant' qui-stioii that might be asked him on the niauer.

Why, the jury'd hang the lawyer, and serve bim riht, too. Write all you want to you can't wriletoo much : you can't write too catefuily ; then study what you've wriltea aul when you've made it a jart and (larcel of yourself bunt your manuscript put it beyond your reach forever. Nobody remembers the elegant ad dress delivered by Edward Kverett at Gettys" burg, occupying an hour and a half, and who doesn't rtuibcrrib-r the eight minutes talk of t"ie mil splitter, Abraham Lincoln?

I, eight years ago wanted to learn stmieihiug about Russia : I went to work, aad for six months read nothing but Rus sian history ; I assimilated the subject, and can say mastered it.

While we want to avoid shams, we want to be very careful not to uii the genuine. There isn't such a difference between the people of the l'nited Siaits as we imagine there is.

We gain by visiting schools, even if not taught! as well as we can teach. We '-an learn at least how not to do it. Hut there is some thing in teaching that rises high above method. St Paul advised the Connthians : 'Ilrethren, covet earnestly Ihe best gifts, and yet show I unto you a more excellent way, though I have all this ami have not love, I am as sounding brass aud a tinkling cym bal.' The day will come when our work will be tested, and in this world, too. We talk alsmt method, but we will nver reach Ihe highest i-oir.t in onr work until w e study the mind, the soul of the child. I don't say read great books on yrhology ; that is wi 11, but to studv tlie mind and soul of the child ia better. When we do this our work will j be as certain as the revolution of the plan e.,." Music Song "My Moimlaiu Home," ly Prof. Case aud the Institute. Ibq)rt by Prof. W. H. Sa-mer , of the Somerset schools, on "School Sujiervi.sioti." lie said : "Centuries before Ihe birlu of Christ, Kin:; Pyrbus gathered bis army of men and elephants, crossed the T;ler and ' man hid against Rome, obtaining a victory. I but the Romans reorganized, marched against l'yrbus. aitai ked bitu in the night, (overthrew bis army aud captured Pyrbus I himself. Ingoing over the field the next j Uy be found that every dead Roman was j wouttd-I in front ami his countenance gave ! evidence of dctcruiiuatioa to conquer. Yie are an army, twenty-one thousand teachers in Pennsylvania ; over them are sixty-seven superintendents and one Superintendent of Public Instruction, with a Houck as his lieutenant. In the middle ages education was left wholly to the monastery. siijervised by the clergy. The child must know how to read the Scriptures before they could take their first communion, and they must take their first communion before they could marry. In New England, after the landing of the Pilgrims, about the first thing done was to pass a law providing for compulsory education. We will doubtless soon have compulsory education in this State, and it ought to be so. We need district superin tendents. If we have the school taxes col lecttsl and paid into the State Treasury and thea (slid out as the State appropriation is now, the taxation will be reduced at least one third." Permanent committee's rejsjrts Fred Grof, President, and J . C-. - Speiehef , Secreta ry: KenJtcil, That we meet at Meyersdalc on the Doth of March, 1-iso. That all applicants for examination be re quired lo notify the President, naming the higher branches desired on or before the 1st of March.

Pr. llier gave an account of theexiiibits from the country schools. The drawings 011 exhibition would be creditable to an art school. The Somerset school exhibit is the must complete of any, commencing with the Primary school, and ending with the High school ; th oldest pupil doing work ou ex hibition is but sixteen years old : others are only eight. The Salisbury school bad 1 beau tiful exhibit. Dr. Bajr then nmjI all the vari ous sclatols having work on exhibition and complimented them in succession, stating that only eight dilTerent schools were repre sented. We are progressing, but not every change is progress ; the school, or the coun try that pins on to whatever comes along, will make a mistake ; change alone is not progress. Prof. Case sung tlie Gospel song, " Believe, and Keep on Believing." Superintendent Savage : One of the tilings that has impressed me most here is tbe feel ing (brown into the closing part of your In stitute. The course throughout was of such a high order that I desired to come. There's one thing I pride myself in, and that is my worry and nervoni prostration ; I think this has been the best Institute I ever attended ; d u't criticise ; don't talk of what you don't approve ; lark about the good things ; encourage your County Superin tendent. W. II. Ruppel ; I might refer to many thioi:, but I merely confratnlate the Coun ty Superintendent on one fact in every thing that ha-i occurred there has been an el evating induenoe. that prove to me that yoa are progressing in the right direction ; we must look to the rising generation tor the pre-crvation of our liberties, and of wliatever of good we enjoy . Krcd iiruf: I want to say this to young tcac!crs ; we all have our troubles and our OilUcuitiea ; there always will be grumblers aud growlers ; don't be discouraged ; wee all alike: don't be discouraged ; you'll come ou all riht in the end. Trof. Case, by request of Rev. Shearer, said the singing convention would com mence on January it!, 1S.SU. Prof Houck closing address : I like the word encouragement ; we all need it. An Institute is intended as much as anything e!c for the encouragement of the teachers. The root of the word encouragement is "cor" which means " heart," and happy the teach er that can give "cor "--can give heart to bis pupils. Teachers need more pay. - Somer set county pays, about the lowest salaries to teachers of any county ia the State. Its go ing tip, but going no very slowly: if you want to secure the best work from your teachers, you must pay them good salaries. Music "Home, Sweet Home." Adjourned. Shanksville Items. Editor IlKKtLD : I noticed in your paper of last week that m iny former residents of this country, who bad gone to the west, were here spending the holidays with their relatives and friends, but my name failed to j appear, and I thought that I would let my I old friends know tli.it I too spent tlie holidays j in old Somerset county. I arrived inbhanks 1 ville from Nebraska, 00 the Hth of Decem- ! ber and bad therefore ten days time where- ! in to look around and rent, and make inv purchases of presenU for on the Christmas- I tree, that was to be placed in the parlor of my d inciter Sarah J. Walker on chrisimvs eve. Well, the tree came off and so did the presents and we sp.iit a very plessmteven ing together. The next morning lieing chnstmas it was ushered in by the shouts of "a m ?rry Christ mis" all over the house. As the day bad been appointed for some lime previous for the reunion of the family we were to see those with whom wc had never met before. By nine o'clock those children who were ebsent from home began to arrive and by noon all were present, and among the number the writer of this had one child, eleven grand children and two great grand children, and in addition to (,ioM, llu.ut;,mej above- thure were two TOIla and four grand children present of Mr. Walker's by his first wife. We th ourht what a family for one man to have, and your humble servant was compelled by the Hjsitive evidence before him to yield the point and acknowledge that Somerset coun ty was more nnsluctive than Nebraska. j ,, , j cllil. . ...,,;,, 1 ... ,i.,.i..i. ,r dren. in.Milioned as descendants of the wri ter, were all born since we left the county, and of course we had never seen any of them. An tiir p- int, Mr. Editor, we have to yield and that is this, that since living in Nebraska, we gained fifteen pounds in weight and we thought there was no place so healthy as Nebraska, but when we came to Shanksville, and found so many of our old friends sti 11 alive and over eighty years old, and then went to Somerset and found so many of our old friemls from seventy to eighty-five years old and still hearty and actively engaged in business, we concluded that old Somerset county was about as healthy a place as could be found. We arc surprised to see such at improve ments in your county, and we feel that twenty-five years has wrought a wonderful change and the many magnificent farm res idence s we see on every hand bespeaks financial prosperity for your farmers. We are now stopping with our son Jeremiah, and are enjoying our selves well, and we shai! not return to the west untill spring, aud ou may pvrhaiis hear from us a -ain. W. 8. Liswox. Local Institute.

Ministerial associations all over the country liave beeu deiiouiiciii this quadrcnuiuldisplay of uress and had dancing, and a clerical commission will shortly wait on the Presi.leiit-to-be in re;;ard to his ap pearance at it. Latt night in the parlors of the MctnioIitau Methodist Episcopalian Church, in this city, Bishop Newman, tien. (irant's old pastor at this same church, spoke on the subject. He referred to the National debate on the inaugural ball, and said if the arrangements were in bis ban. Is he would substitute for the ball a jrrand promenade concert where a thon-iand Amer ican arti-ts, vocal and iiislniniftit.il, wouid render American songs and American eom p'tsjiitin.H, and where the American citizen could greet the American President. The audience greeted the sniri; sition with ap plause. On th? heels of this connst the announce ment that the Worn in s Christian Teni(ier once Cnion of Ihe district has beun a cru satL; against the time-honored custom of dis lcn3iti i;hampaii:ne at the ball. The mem bers denounce the practice as a disracj to tbe honor of the nation, and have forwarded a pit it ion to the omni.tte askin 4 that no apartm jntg bs d Mtj'iateJ for willj-rjj:nt iu the (H tision building. Dakota Settlers Starving. Fahoo, Dir., Jan. A letter from Rev. C. W. Ilichct, of Park Iliver Dakota, con veys the lirst authenticated information of extreme suffering and privation among Nor wegian settlers in Western Walsh rjniity. Men with relief report that they found about seventy families in about as destitute cir cumstances as it is possible for human be ings to be and still exist. Many were found with barely enough clothing to cover their nakedness, and that of the thinnest material. Shoes were almost nnknown. These farmer have lived on their capital until nothing re mained. Most of them are living on a kind of porridge, made by cooking frozen green wheat and oats, stulF not fit to feed a hog. One family had not seen any floor for sis weeks. Nearly all were entirely out of flour. The people have been dividing with each other their potatoes until now they are gone too. tinual The West Vireinia Contest. WmitiJtu. V. Ya..
