EDITORS CITIZEN :—As Mr. Richey
has had his say permit me to state the
facts in regard to his "Notice," which
are as follows: Mrs Ilicbey did not
leave his bed and board, it was her
\oicn, and she did so with his knowl
edge and approval. Mrs. Richey is
unwell and unable to work and the
doctor advised her not to do any work
whatever. Mr. had a chance
to rent the house and was, as he com
plained, out of work and unable to get
an_> ; so to restore her - health, if pos
sible, which she ruined in her endeav
or to make an honest living for him and
her family, she, with his consent, ii
staying with me this \\ inter and fully ex
pects to return to Builer in the spring
As to his cautioning the public to
give h<-r no credit on his account, it is
sufficient to say he never did pay a
de.bt for her or iu any way attempt to
provide for her, of which, no doubt,
many are well informed Tbe purpose,
therefor.-, for which he pays for his
notice we leave the readers to judge.

DIED: —In Butler, Pa., Dec. 21st,
1881, Abraham Moyer, aged »3 years,
8 months and 1G ddys.
The deceased was brought to Butler
county in the family of his father, A.
D., HIT. Asamananda citizen he
has always beeu held in high esteem.
In tbe Reformed church he sought to
lead an exemplary life; in it he beld
important official positions for the last
52 .years.
In the county and especially in the
communities in which he lived he bas
ever been regarded as an honorable ;
! and upright man. Every position of
trust given him in charge was in every
instance faithfully atteuded to. No
better tribute can be given to the de
ceased than by those who knew him,
to call to mind the many virtues and
good character of his life. His remains
were interred at Hariuonv, Butler
countv, l*a., December afu-r
suitable fu.ieral services in the Reform
ed church, at Harmony, in whu'h the
writer was assisted by Rev. F. A. Ed
monds. T F. Staukfer
Tin- '4 «"K<-iies-H* institute.
Pur.-uuiii to ibe c.»Il ol Superiuteod
eut Murtland, the school teachers of
this county, met in convention on
Moudav afternoon of last week, anil
! continued iu session till Friday noon.
The programme, as advertised by the
Superintendeut, was faithfully carred
! out. Some two hundred and thirty
i teachers and many directors and other
friends of education were present, and
• the institute itself, taken as a whole,
: was pronounced by old teachers who
i have attended all the institutes ever
; held in this county, to have been the
I best ever held in the county. Mr.
i Murtlaud was a novice in the institute
| busines# and his iuecess must be very
! gratifying to him, while from the able
and interesting instruct >rs and lectur
; ers whose presence and services he had
secured, the institute was made both
instructive and interesting to all who
attended. In preparing wisdom for
babes, it is necessary to wrap its pre
cepts in candied sweets, and we have
no doubt but that those teachers who
attended the institute will go back to
their work in a better humor to deal
with the self-willed youth of America,
better qualified to conquer by patience
and kindness the eyil in their natures,
and teach them those lessons of indus
try, honesty acd morality, which
should go baud in hand with the les
sons of the school book. The young
should be taught that to be great is to
be good and that one can be as truly
a hero in the little battles of life as in
the battles and affairs of a great oation.
We have been furnished with a copy
of the minutes of the convention, but as
i our columns are crowded this week can
I find space for but the followingextracts
from them:
Superintendent Murtland, in his
opening address, "outlined the object
of the Institute, emphasizing bis in
tention to have the present not only a
teachers 1 but a people's Institute. lie
made a very jjood impression on those
assembled and received flattering ap
plause. Prof, l'iukertou explained in
an interesting manner why be had
come, and stated his object was not to
flatter the teachers but that he would
try to fcain their confidence. He ad
vised the teachers not to attempt to
act on every suggestion given by for
eign instructors. He cited an instance
where he bad once ruined bis school
by attempting to put in practice every
thing he had heard it an institute, lie
advised teachers that if they should see
any methods advanced that they
thought applicable to their schools to
•apply them, if at all, in an original
manner. He was at, home on his sub
ject and was often interrupted by ap
plause."
Prof McNeal was introduced to the
Institute Tuesday morning and spoke
on the subject of "couutv institutes."
lie divided an institute into three
classes: (1) those who wre cultiva
ted and came to benefit others, (2)
those who think they know it all aud
would not shed their light for the beu
efit of their fellow teachers, (3) those
who have had little experience as teach
ers and who wish to receive instruc
tions from the Institute. He also gave
his experience as a County Superin
tendent in regard to the above distinc
tions in the make-up of an Institute.
S P. Irvin then read an able essay on
compulsory education. An interesting
discussion followed, many teachers tak
ing part whose arguments de3erve spe
cial mention, but space will not permit.
Prof. Plukertoa, after highly compli
menting the choir, took up the study
of orthography. He showed bow com
plex our words were to strangers and
how hard to learn to spell bv the
sounds. He gave several humorous il
lustrations which created much merri
ment. He explained the necessity of
spelling, pronunciation and definition
going together ; also, that the teacher
should prepare each lesson in advance.
He also regarded too many rules as
tending to confuse the pupil rather
than to enlighten him, and gave many
other valuable instructions. He then
gave a lesson on pronunciation put in
form of sentences, and called on some
one to read them. Mr. J. II Chatham
responded, and pronounced all the
words properly but one. He was
highly complimeuted by the Professor,
and applauded by the audience.
On Tuesdy afternoon Prof. McNeal
gave some valuable suggestions on
"teachers' work." He explained that
the teacher must adapt his methods to
the school he has in charge. That the
experimental prevailed largely, with
young teachers especially. How a
teacher might have many modes with
but one method. He advised teachers
to be original as far as possible in the
school room. The choir sang ".No
Time like the Old Time," after which
John Golden gave his methods of
teachihg "Primary Reading," followed
by Mrs. A 13. Kinter, who read from
manuscripts \ on the same subject.
Both were listened to with deep inter
est. Volunteers were then culled on
when Messrs Chatham, Russell,
Moore, Smith and Irvine responded
I w T ith neat addresses on the same sub
ject. The choir then sang ".lu.-t Be
side the I'iver" Prof. Pinkerton
was called upon and spoke on "School
Management.' He explaiued why the
standing of a pupil should be determin
ed by examination. How noise should
be avoided by arousing a spirit of ri
valry among the pupils. He advised
the publication of the best in the news
papers of the town or county in which
they lived, and advanced the idea that
a certificate of standing progress. He
thought that, the lack of living interest
in the school room. As usual he re
ceived tremendious applause. Prof.
McNeal followed with an address on
'Thoroughness.' He said persons
often a>ked tne question. 'Why do
pupils go over the same ground every
year ?' He said it was caused in part
by lack of Thoroughness on the part of
the teacder in tiaining pupils, and
that a teacher had much better teach
thoroughly thau scientifically. He re
ferred to those who had a strong de
sire to advance pupils at the expense
of thorcugbness and what a great mis
take it was, and how the only remedy
was careful training. His argument
was very logical and was well recciv-
I ed.
j. At the evening session, Dr. Frank
Cowan lectured on.bis tour around the
world, dwelling particularly on his ex
periences in China, Corea and Indie.
The Doctor's descriptions were grand.
On Wednesday morning Prof.
PiokcrtOD delivered a ringing address
on "School Management " He believ
ed in the rod as a last resort and in
suspending or expelling pupils who
are extremely indolent or in any way
demoralizing to a school. ll<' strui-k a
responsive <horJ in every teacher pres
ent and was frequently applauded.
Rev. fctri amer next rend a scholarly
es«ay on ' Manners iud Morals in
Sehool." lie held the audience for an
hour with the closest attention
Wednesday afternoon Prof. McNeal
gave a very able talk on "Primary
Arithemefic and the Pittsburgh Sys
tem." The Professor was growiug in
favor with the teachers I was now
moved and seconded that Rev Stream
er have his lecture on "Manners and
Morale'" published in fijll in the county
papers for distribution among the
teachers of the county. The motion
was carried amid great applause. The
subject "How far should a teacher
exert bis influence on reading out of
school,'' was opened by S. H- Catham
followed by many other teachers. The
arguments were all good, lasting tiil 4
o'clock.
Col. Copeland, of South Rend, ludi
ana, was the lecturer for Wednesday
evening. tlis subject was "Snobs and
Snobby" in America, and be very ef
fectually ridiculed the efforts of many
to establish caste in this country.
On Thursday ni or fi' D ff the question
'What should pupils read out of school,'
and "School Government," were dis
cussed. Prof. Wade described the
"True Teacher."
Oq Thursday afternoon, the Direc
tors meeting, changes in school books,
cost of books and the salaries of teach
ers, were discussed.
On Friday morning Rev. Wade gave
some valuable suggestions in regard to
securing regular attendance at school.
The report of the Committee on
Resolutions was then read and adopt
ed The resolutions are as follows;
