The new shaft for the soldiers' monument was placed in position Saturday by com rades of K. P. Cummin- Post, G. A. R. Tbe present shaft is believed to contain the name of every soldier from this county who fell ia battle or dW-i of disease while in the ser vice of the Fnion. The original monument detained the names of on!y about one-half of the county dead heroes. The mistake occurred throusb friends of the dead failing to famish the names to the proper com mittee. A party of seven State aireots, representing a large number of tire insurance companies having risks ia this county, met with the lo cal county agents at the Park H-tel, Thurs day, for the purple of adopting a uniform county rats lor future risks. The new rate adopted w-U not go into rSed before the 1st of January, at wha.a time it is intimated there will be a oonaideraole increase on k1 fire insurance riata.

The Emu ocly vroioea popular teeti. meet when it lays that tbe 3otb ananal ea akas of the Teacher' Institute was iha most taocesbful throtaghocit, ever held In the county. Tbe attendance was the bust, the program was perfectly arranged, and was carried out in every detaiL Tbe instructors were ail cp to the and spirit of the times, and the lew ben tppeared more eager to learn than on any former occasion. Tbe evening entertainments were all of a high order, and gave complete satisfaction to immense audi ences. The wisdom of holding tbe institute at the beginning of the school term waa folly attested by the large attendance. Superin tendent Berkey can well aiTjri to wear a broader -.mile than nscaJ, because success Las attended Lis eJorla, and be Las tbe thanks and congratulations of the public A decision of considerable interest was Landed down by the Supreme Court at Pittsburgh, last Wednesday. The case was an appeal from the decree of the O-p bans' Coart of Somerset county, which bad con firmed the auditor's report ia the distribution of tLe estate of Samuel P. M iller, deceased, a resilient of Summit township. Samuel P. Miller died in February, 1SS, leaving a widow, and a number of children and grandchildren. In lv6 he made hi last will and testament, in which Le says. rr oUn, " I will and bequeath to my daughter Barbara's son, Albert, (qua! shares of my estate, real and personal, with my other children, after the amount given his mother is deducted ; bat if said Albert should die before be Las any heirs, then his share shall revert back among my other heirs." Tbe executors appointed in the will tiled an account, showing s balance in their hands of $1-1,1-t 5t; for distribution. The account was confirmed and an aud.tor was appointed to make a distribution, and the auditor held that the share of Albert, the son of Barbara, ho died on married and without children, went to bis father. Counsel for tbe esLite filed exceptions to tbe auditor's report, claiming that the share of Albert, be dying without any heirs. that the word heirs meant children! should go to the other children of the lertator. The Scprvnie Court reversed the decree at the cost of the appellees.

(Ci.uf ,-a fUM Pape ) introduced and read the report of tbe meet ings of the Krectors, which will be found elsewhere in this paper. Supt. Berkey, after addressing the Insti tute a few minotes. had tbe following names announced as members of the Committee on Permanent CtrtiScates: J. E. Speicher, E. E. Pritts, C. F. Livecgood, C E. DicVey and E'la K. Voge!. Thursday morning's session opened with teachers' work under lead of E. E. Dickey. Miss Lottie Kriseinger read a paper on "A Good School." W. H. Kretchaian, Wm. Reed, E. E. Dickey, J. D. Mccse and Supt Berkey discussed 'The use and abuse of text-books, both ia primary and advanred schools." Prof. Meese resumed his talk on Drawing. ARer topical talk by W. H. Mar tin and others on '-Character Building," an intermission was taken. The getiersJ work of tbe Institute was then opened by reading from the Scriptures and prayer by Pr. Schsffer. Sopt. Berkey, his face wreathed in sm-les, said that he was happy to announce that every teacher in Somerset county but 3 were now present at the Institute, and two of these three were accounted for. This is most creditable io the Superintendent as well as the teachers. Prof. Ben net, of Johnstown, waa intro duce 1, and after saying be had heard much of tie teachers of Somerset county, proceed ed to talk about Drawing. He said drawing was the education of the eye and hand. He illustrated the free, easy motion the hand should have in drawing. With an educated brain, a skilled hand and eye, drawing will be a sarcess. Tbe imazinatioo also must t developed. Without imagination, like mon keys, we can only imitate. Prof. B. then talked of drawing in straight lines, broken lines and curved lines, illu;ratic- with sticks and diagrams. The eye most be trained to measure distance and observe proportion. Thing" must not be drawn as we know tht m, but as we see them as they look to the eye. He insists that drawing gives habits of neatness and is a great aid ia learning to write. Many models in wood, plaster and paper were shown. Just here for a tew minutes the Institute was turned into a barnyard, or something like it, by tbe singing of the song "My Grandfather," into which all the grunts, quacks and barks of the animal creation are introduced. Dr. Schaffer then gave the Institute a talk on rivers. He followed the drop of ws:.-r from the cioud to it place in the river: then told bow a glacier supplied the river Rhine with water; h.w river currents How faster at the top and in the middle than on tbe bottom and sides : bow the swiftness of tbe current increased the carrying capacity of a river. Then he described bow alluvium is deposited ; bow deltas and bayous are form- el What Dr. Schaff-r dida t tell about rivers is hardly worth knowing. How children should be taught to talk, read and write, was the subject of aa ad dress by Frof. Brumbaugh. The Professor thinks children are restrained too much ; let them talk ; let them talk even in school sometime ; don l put a cur, in me Dot i.e. It ia a child nature to talk, 115 much as it is to eaL The eye of the child can be reached j ia teaching language to children through j words, sentences and maxims written ; tue ear, by reading to or tciiing tbe child stones which he can write out. Children should be made write aboul objects that are shown and described to tbem. Prof. B. illustrated the method by holding up an alligator scale and giving a long history of iL The afternoon session was opened by Ptr.f. Stephens, of the Mt. Pleasant Institute, and bis address on Education in America was an exceedingly interesting one. He said the man who allows his youth to slip by without securing an education makes a mis take that is almost irrejrabie in after life. Thousands of middle-aged people ia this country made that mistake, and will always have cause to regret it. There sre 1 ...jW, u children of school age in tbe L'niti-4 States. l.M','.iuO of these are ia Pennsylvania, and the State has appropriated $ each to edu cate them. By a diagram Frof. Stephens attempted to illustrate the number of pupils 1 ia the common schools and the number in higher institutions of leamic. The space devoted to tbe latter was so small as to be almost invisible. He then gave a very clear definition of the various kinds of higher schools the academy, seminary, parochial school, the college and tbe university. He said the highest of these, except the univer sity, which i intended fur specialties, are schools of drill and routine. He likened oar colleges to the German Gymnasium. He hooted at the idea that college-bred young men wore not fit for the highest com mercial pursuit, Andrew Carnegie to tbe contrary. He said that Pratt, tbe oil mil lionaire, said that every responsible position in his vast business was under control of a college graduate. He was in favor of com bining industrial with mental training. Some very uccessful men have been trained outside of college, but every man ia the higher profession who has not bad a college training is handicapped to some extecL As to choosing a college, he said, select the or.e with the largest endowment, for there you get the most for your money. Prof. Brumbaugh had halted in his Jour ney Around the World, the day before, at the Red Sea. He now resumed it at that point, and passed on to the great coffee dis trict of Araoia, and crossing the Indian Ocean toCal-rutta, in India, he went to Sin- ! gapore, near the equator; around the isth mus and on up to China, Ja 1 -an, tbe Sand wich Islands, San Francisco and Somerset to Sew York, the joint of starting. A hotter trip was then taken through that wonderful land of Siberia to Novgorod and St. Petersburg, and on to IWUa and j Pari. j Prof. Bennett, of Johnstown, now re- j sumed his talk on Drawing. He illustrated the making of curv.-s and ovals on the blackboard. Wire was a good model to j use ia making curves. As to the circle, it could only be made accurately with an in- j strument The oval, the double oval and the Pop combined were illustrated, and j their combinations as used ia writing shown. Tbe capital letters are only cni binatiocs of ovals and loops. All writing is only straight and carved lines in combi nation. The elbow is to be used as the joint of rest in making curves. A utraight line model, as a cube, baa in it all the lines of aa ordinary bouse. After straight line work ia drawing, comes curves. White models should lie used to Wacb sbsdmg, as only these show the shadow dearly. Draw ob ject! as yoa tee them, not as yoa know they are ; this is perspective.

He said you must build the brain, just as yoa build a bouse ; but don't make any mis-akes, for ia brain-building yoa can't go back and make corrections. If a doctor made a mistake be could bury it ; if a lawyer made one be could bang it ; but the teacher who spoiled a brain was dis graced and the child rained. The idiot and the dude had light-weight brains. Wcman s brain averaged five ounces lighter than man's ; bat there is sach a thing a quality ' as well as quantity. The doctor then showed bow recent experiments had demonstrated that each Eaculty had its appropriate loca tion in the brain. Much of this was learned from vivisection. Now epilepsy, paralysis and other diseases are cn red by an operation on 1 be brain. At s a. m.

Mrs. H P. Hanson then read a most admirable paper on the Chart Class. Supt. Berkey answered the query. Should teachers be pa.d fur attendance on tbe Institute? by ylng that the law made no provision jt such pav. Prof. Brumbaugh then put the qu- y. Is there any lyreffl of rainfall ia thel".. ted S-ates? and it was answered in the negative. Dr. fchaffer then pat the query, Dos the farmer belong to the lower class? The answer was the fact that be was a farmer placed him Is do class : a man' calling doe not fix bis clasx. E- 8. Freaee and J. D. Lambert then discussed Schoolroom Helps what they are and how to j.et them. Prof. Brumbaugh then read from the Scriptures and otlered a p raver, when tbe Committee on rerrcanent Certificates r pfft.d organization by eVciing J. C Spichcr r-esiJcr.S. ant? Miss Ella JC Vogel Secretary. The committee dr-cided to bold eiamlmtioa at Somerjet on the last Tursdsy in July, lsr2. Applications to be made before July 1st. The committf-e abandoned the plan of giving certain branches to certain teachers in examinations, and allow si! merntx r? to examine in all branches. The Committee on Music reported cum ber of books sold. The committee on resolutions submitted its report through the chairman. Mr. C. E. IKckey. Ia substance the resolutions, (li recognlx ed tht p-sciou of tte County Institute at the best one ever held in the cou'y ; 12, ex pressed gratitude to the County Superintend ent for his efficient management : (li; thank ed the instructors for their able, interesting and practical work ; it'- recogniaed the in terest taken by tbe Directors of tbe county in educational progress, and especially for their promise to increase teacher' wages, and improve the school next year; (01 en dorsed the course of study prepared by the County Superintendent as the right thing for ail schools not already provided by some authorised coarse; id) expressed apprecia tion of local institute work as an important (actor in the improvement of public senti ment and the progress of the schools : (7) spproved of holding the County Institute before the holiday season; (Si expressed af fectionate memorial of Prof. Replogle, late principal of Mt-yersdala schools. The report was unanimously a.lopted. Although Dr. Sctaffi-r did not announce bis subject, be took the platform and first taiW ol physical ge-ograpby ; went back g:iin to risers and showed how tbey cut through monatain; how the luountaias rse and the rivers cut don a to their old level ; how the Sew Jersey ccisi was sink ing; how the Cnited State government pre served the channel cf the Mississippi at Minneapolis. Then changing his subject like the dictionary, or rather Lke so versa tile a man, be talked about men. their value, and how to find it. If a man preserves 'bis dignity, integrity and self respect, he is a maa ia anv calling. The great teacher m irked at the carjen;er bench, but with a nature like his he cuuld rot be d-eraded. The school teacher will dignify Lis profess ion oy cnnying uiruL-el. tiia ever Lear cf Vandertilt the great, or Gould the fe-real? Money don't make great men.

The legend calls this giant St Cbnstother. Every teacher can be a St. Christopher. The report of books sold to teachers by the Educational Committee was then read. For his farewell address, Prof. Brumbaugh selected Discipline as a subject. To disci pline is to govern, to direct. First, then you must awaken the powers of the child ; and second, yoa must direct tbem ; and this is where the teachers great responsibility conies. Vaotin, he aaid. " education either form a maa or enchains a devil."' Knowl trli is power, but it is power !br evil as well as good ; look out which way yoa direct it. Hocest'y snd earnestly direct children to do r.gbt. Truf. Bntmhauga then abruptly aked. When is a man educated? and an swered, when he is able to do well one sin gle thing. What a maa knows is not the test, but what he djes. Prof. Brumbaugh, seamed reluctant to say gocd bye to the friends with whom he had made such a pleasant acquaintance during the last live days.- But the hour had come and with r heartfelt farewell he made his ."inal bow. Short speeches for the remaining minutes before 12 M., were thea in order. Prof. Speicher, in a few words, approved the change of time in holding the institute. Whea called on lor a speech, Prof. Spren ke!, who has bad charge of the music, made bis by sinking very feelingly, " Forgive and ForxeL" Prof. Meese made a speech of encourage ment to the teachers. Someone represeut-nj the citizens of Som erset mm called on for a speech, and Rev. Harfcey responded by praising and congrat ulating the teachers. Properly, Supt. It.-rkey made the last speech, in which be 9uraaied up his high opinions of teachers and institute. -God be with yoa till we meet agaia," was tbea sung, and with a benediction by Ilev. Harkey, the Institute djourat.-i. 'TE5. Dr. A. A. Willits. whose reputation as a lecturer is ai wide as tbe continent, on last Tuesday evening, in connection with the en tertainments, supplied for tbe Teachers' In stitute, delivered a lecture on "The Model Wife." Dr. Wil'its lectured here some ten years ?o on u Sunshine," and his audience was delighted- It was dei'ghled again on Tuesday evening, but protably, al.-o, just a little bit disappointed. Dr. Willits is get ting old. We don't know his age, but be nrist be in the seventies. His lecture was fail of magnificent bursts cf eloquence, as well as quiet wnslble advice. We must not omit to mention, ia connec tion with the lecture, the soio of Prof. Spreckei, "The March of the Woods.-' and tbe song " Doboiink." with "swinging in ihe Grapevine Swing" for a recall, by Som erset's favorite song bird. Miss Mamie Chi. On last Wednesday evening the Ariel Thomas Company gave, as one of the series of Institute entertainments, a Concert in the Opera House. The program of instrumen tal and vocal music, together with the hu morism of John Thomai, was none too long. The quarteiie is aa exceptionally gKsl one, and although they were handicapped with what we considered rather poor selections, the audience would have cb.erfui!y llsned aa hocr longer, of Mr. Thomas' special part ia the program we have little to say ex cept that we think it was a little overdrawn. But the audience as a whole was pleased and the Concert wis considered among the best ever heard here. Rev. Th&oiaa Dixon ia a lecturer hereto fore unknown in Ibis vicinity. He was en gaged by Supt. lJerkey to deliver a lecture 011 last Thursday night at the U.iera Uou-e. llis subject as " Backbone," and he pro ceeded 10 show how men of backbone were the men who succeeded. He waa most elo quent in occasional passages, but he drop ped so abruptly from ihe sublime to the le-d-culous a to sumewLat mar bis perform ance. But with ail thai the audience teem ed to Lang 03 every word. Hi is one of the class of lecturers from whom every moment yoa exrct a surprise, aad you are forced to fallow bira. Without any disposition to dispense " taf fy," we can say with the utmost candor that the Teachers' Institute, whose sessions were held last week in tbe Court House, was from every point of view the most successful in the thirty-live jears of their institution. For this we are largely indebted to the un tiring efforts of Prof. Iteikey, the County SuperintendenL He spent about sixteen hours of each of the five days of the session in unwearied, watchful Lard work, to say nothing of the preparatory Iabr involved. A man may do everything and yet fault-finders are to be expected, but we have heard of none in this case. To aa bservar.t person there has been a wonderful change ia the appearance, man ners and general make-up of tbe Teachers of Somerset county. Ten or fifteen years ago wben a teacher was called up in the insti tute to spetk he was diffident aad embar rassed ; be stood Hit oc one leg thea on the other, and talked in a hrsitatiog, schoolboy isb manner. To day moat of them can eiand up erect, face thvir audience, and de liver their thoughts in a mauly way, and in good English. Tre enly objection we can find to last week's Teachers Institute is the unimport ant part the female teachers tee -a. Except for set performances, so Ut as we know not one of them opened her mouth, unless it was to do a little whispering ,Qj that is al ways pardonable in the sex. Thla ! not right. Girls can talk on ail other occasion. W tiers they have so much at stake they ought to bsvs their say. and at tbe next Ia alitnie we want to see ttem have it. Ttacf.ers' Institutes have not only helped tbe teschers intellectua ly, bet perscna.-'y as weli. As a cliss the leathers w uo assembled here last wesk, were aa well drrswi, as easy In manner, expression and can-age, on the street and elsewhere, as the sains caxber c' people assembled ssr wii cn a similar occasion. There are people whose thoughts succeed each other so rapidly thai they almost ehok their utterance. Dr. Winship. cf L-osioa. who talked befre the Institute las week, is one of this kind. He thicks rapidly that his toe gue can not cU i.ser his aords fast enough. He said that this came from his acx.ety to say a great deal in hide time. Tbe short-band reporter who undertook to repott him verbaium would have a Bappy time of u. We feeJ that we shocld have allowed a du ty to pas undone had we failed so commend Superintendent Berkev 's good judgement ia he selection of instructors tor the late Teachers' Insiitute. Dr. Winahip, of Bos ton, who unfortunately was able to spend only two days here, is a man who is rowa as an ed orator from Maine to California. If the teachers assembled here last week failed to improve tte opportunity his lectures af forded them of absorbing a part of the theo retical and practical knowledge of teaching possessed by this man, it will be a source of life-locg regret to them. Dr. W. C. Schaffcr has a reputation for doep learning which is more than State-wide He shows the scholar ia every lineament of hi face. Ia psychology and the higher sci ence, both mental and physloa!, he has lew supcricrs anywhere. He bas devoted his wtole life to teaching, and what h don't know about it is probably not worth knowing- Prof. Brumbaugh is a youn; man and full of the Ere and enlhcsiaam that belongs to that period. Ia teaching be bas sounded tbe very depths. He bas been pupil, teacher of common aad high schools, superintend ent, and is now a professor with -jm years' experience. Prof. Brumbaugh is one of tbe most ear nest, practical instructors we ever bad the Pleasure of listening to. He loves h; prc- fe.-sion and every person asd thing connect- ed with it. The opportunity of hearing such a maa is of more value to the teacher than reading a library of bock son pedagogy. Prof. Sprenkle. who directed the ramie during tL Institute, bus a sweet voi-e. is a pleasant gentleman, an 1 ucdtrs'ands music thoroughly, but be rather lacks the power to awaken the musical enthusiasm of aa as semblage like a Teachers" Institute. But music is only an incidental of such occa sions, and perfection all the litre and in all departments is not to be expected at an Inst.tute. Tha Directors' Association. The directors of the county are moving forward ia the line of school-work. Wben tbe fact ia taken in 10 consideration that ail their work nd time is given grataitously, then their facte fu! convention here last week is evidence of the progressive and generous spirit which prompt many of them. According to previous arrangement, the Dire-tors' As-ocintion was called to order at !.- p. to. 00 Tutsday, inihe Somerset Opera House, Dr. S. S. Good in the chair. Mr. D. Coruptcn, cf Eiklick, was appointed Sdcrea ry, in pi ice of Dr. H. S. Kiaimel, who was necessarily absent. The rjll waa called and about forty direct ori responded. Tbis number was considera bly increased during the two sessions. M. J. Pritts F--q of Somerset, made the opening address. He called attention to the privileges and responsibilities of director ship and the need of being thoroughly in formed in the several line of daty. Eis address was replete with practical suggest ions sad progressive ideas. Short addresses were made by D. Comp toa and Joha Blake, of Eiklick. aloogimi lar lines, the latter putting everbody ia gocd humor by his genuine Scotish wit and his happy hits. Dr. Kuhlcia.i, chairman of thecommitlce on Constitution and By-Laws, next made a report which was anac.mousiy adopted. The following is the report : cos.-rrncrios asa sr-iavs. PsnaaBL.
