Subject of dis course, "Man's Fall. ii A dwelling house belonging to Lu ther Hoadley, in South Brownville, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday night. We have not learned the ex tent of the loss. A buflalo secured in a wagon was the "observed of all observers" on our streets yesterday. He was caught when a calf in Jewell county, Kan., and is now being taken into Atchison county, Mo. We notice that the telegraph office has been removed to the office lately occupied by Sidney French, Esq., as a law office, over the postofllce. With the postofllce, telegraph office and news depot at that point, it is quite a "corner" on news. We hope our educational friends will endeavor to make the reports of institutes and other educational meet incrs as concise as possible. We will cheerfully give insertion to such re ports when they are not too prolix; in fact we invite them. We understand that some of our young men, under the management of Prof. Smith, have organized an ama teur minstrel company, and will give an entertainment in this place some time this month, due notice of which will be given by poster, and through this paper. Another "limb of the law" in our city. He has waded through "Black stone" and "Bishop on Marriage and Divorce", and is now contemplating "Reeves Domestic Relations". The bishop should undertand the business and we hope the relations will be un objectionable. The man whom we said was sup posed to have fallen through the ice several weeks ago, has been heard from, and is not dead at all. It was opposite the foot of Main Street and near the road where he was supposed to have fallen through the ice, not at the ice-house as we mentioned. "Vlck," in a letter from San Fran cisco, published in the Omaha Herald, snys that the Advertiser owes him $7.50 for abusing Calhoun. If we are correctly informed, "Vick," while writing up locals for the Advertiser, thought it would be fun to pitch into Calhoun. For that little diversion, the Advertiser dispensed with his fur ther services. The sidewalk from Main to College strt-et, and to the school building, is to be built as soon as the weather per mits. Is Is a much needed improve ment. Similar walks to our churches would be an undertaking reflecting credit on our city, and would give us an air of civilization in the eyes of strangers who are accustomed to such accommodations. For enterprise, energy and good taste commend us to Henry H. Doleu as an accomplished merchant tailor. He has on hand textures of every shade and quality, and can get up the nobbiest suits on short notice of any house in the'eitj'. Every neat, well fitting coat on our streets is a placard of Henry's skill and good taste. On wedding suits he gets on a double ex tra, and should we ever be persuaded to "jump the broi m-stick," our con trolling motive will doubtless be to wear one of his superb wedding suits. A kind of a miniature pitch-battle occurred on Monday evening at the lower end of town. It seems that the children of Mrs. Furlow and Mrs. Bayles became involved in a quarrel, as children sometimes do. It was al leged bj' the Furlows that Mrs. Bayles had sent her children knife and sling shot with which to carry on the war fare, and several bad bruises on "Red dy" and his brother were shown as the result. Upon the arrest of Mrs Bayles and her examination before Justice Ebright, it appeared that she was not guilty of 90 monstrous an act, and the blame between the contest- ants being so nearly in equipoise, the suit was dismissed, and the costs tax ed up to the Marshal. At least we were so informed by Mr. Campbell, and he must be pretty good authority. The school boys connected with the High School have organized a debat ing society. We are informed by Prof. 1 Rich that it is conducted in a deco rous and dignified manner, and prom ises to be a benefit to them. We hope they will be encouraged in their un dertaking. To such an organization we feel indebted to a large extent, for the direction of our tastes and conse quent pursuits. It awakens thought, it stimulates investigation, it incul cates habits of industry, it makes in dependent thinkers, it lessens the number and weakens the power of evil influences, in short, it is just the school needed for young people. By all means encourage it. Such an organization as the school boys have made should be entered in to by our young ladies aqd gentle men. We understand that there is a private reading circle organized and working with good success in our city, but a public literary society we deem an essential organization in an intelligent moral community. Our ke3'note is, that as literary aspirations and pursuits preponderate in a com munity, the sensual diminish. Evil Influences and tendencies can be neu tralized by encouraging pursuits of an opposite tendency. It is as true as it is trite, that "Satan finds mischief stUl. For Idle bands to do."

The kindness we are authorized to say will not be for gotten, and for any services they may be able to render at any time in re turn, they may be drawn upon at sight. The mush and milk festival, held at the residence of Mr. W. H. Hoov er on mouday evening, under the aus pices of the ladies of the Episcopal Church, is pronounced a success by all who were present. In such an el egant house and with such an agreea ble host and hostess, and withal such a jolly set of young folks it is not to be wondered that wo hear such ex pressions of satisfaction. Personal. Mr. Evan Worthing has been at home during the past week. "Bob" Watson, a well known com positor in the Democrat office, left last week for his home in Virginia. Wm. Wilson and R. E.

In pursuance of adjournment, the teachers and friends of education in the surrounding districts assembled ai cue iemana uity scnooi nouse on Friday evening, Feb. 7th, 1873. The meeting have been called to order, on motion to that effect, Philip Crother was appointed secretary of the institute. Opening exercises. Music, instrumental, by Miss E. Drain. On motion a committee on criticism m was appointed for the evening, con sisting of Miss Carrie Fisher and L. H. Cook. A desire to that effect having been expressed by several of the audience, the resolution, "thata law compelling parents to send their children to school at least three months in the year is desirable," was substituted for the question on the programme. Dis cussion opened by G. S. McGrew, fol lowed by Lawyer Stephens. L. W. Cook, Jas. Tucker, L. Mason, aud P. Crother. The chief objection of those on the negative side, was, that such a law would be tyranical; on the contra ry.it wasurged that thelaw would not affect those who would willingly avail themselves of the advantages to be derived from our public schools; aud from the demand for education, every where arising, it is presumable that the majority would be in favor of the law. After the above discussion, several questions were found in the query box, which, upon being read, created an animated debate. During the evening, the audience were favored at intervals with enter taining music, by Mrs. J. S. Minick, Mis3 D. Loekwood, nud Miss E. Drain. The committee on criticism now re ported, which, by the reflection, gave evidence that several of the speakers need to be more guarded in their re marks. The institute adjourned, to meet again next morning at Sh o'clock. SATURDAY MORNING. Opening exercises. Music, instrumental, by Mrs. J. S. Minick. Miss Linn and W. A Chapman-were appointed critics. Class drill in compound numbers, conducted by Lewy Mason, participa ted in by a majority of the teachers present. Class drill in geography. Forms and methods, by P. Crother, was next in order. Prof. Bellangee, of the State Nor mal School, being present, at the sug gestion of Dr. McGrew and by the re quest of the audience, he consented to occupy the time devoted to the class drill in grammar, in making a few re marks to the teachers present. He stated that, it being the fact that the Normal students were obtained from the common schools of the State, he would suggest that the teachers of the common schools use every endeavor to train their pupils in the habit of in dependent thought, believing that it would conduce to the advantage of the pupil. He thought some of our teachers explained too much, conse quently doing the thinking of the pu pils for them. The institute then adjourned for dinner. AFTERNOON. Opening exercises. Music, instrumental, by Mrs. J. S. Minick. On motion a committee on general resolutions was appointed, consisting of L. H. Cook, J. O. Cornwell, Miss Tucker and Miss Linn. Class drill in square root, by N. B. Catlin. L. n. Cook gave a clear de monstration, after which Prof. Bel langee, by request, illustrated the ex traction of the cube root. Not having cubical blocks to illustrate by, he made use of the first object within reach, resembling a cube, which hap pened to be a crayon box. The next exercise was a class drill in reading, by Jas. Tucker. Then came an exercise in gymnast ics, participated in by a number of the teachers, directed by Miss L. Tucker. The committee on general resolu tions now reported, as follows : Resolved, That we witness with pleasure the increasing interest in the cause of education in this county. Resolved, That we consider the in stitutes which are being held through out the county as productive of much good. licsolvcd, That we tender our most sincere thanks to Dr. McGrew for his attendance, and the interest he has manifested in this institute. Resolved, That the thanks of the institute be tendered to Mrs. Minick, Miss D. Loekwood aud MissE. Drain, for the interest they have manifested in making the institute pleasant and entertaining by their musical talents. Resolved, That we tender our sin cere thanks to the citizens of this community for their kindness and at tention to teachers. Resolved, That the secretary be re quested to forward a copy of the min utes of this institute to the county pa pers, also to the State Teachers' Jour nal, for publication. So great an interest being manifest ed by the audience, on motion it was resolved to hold an evening session. Adjourned until 6J p. m. EVENING SESSION. Opening exercises. Music by Miss E. Drain. Clas3 drill in grammar, by Dr. Mc Grew ; very interesting. The remainder of the evening was devoted to answering and discussing various questions taken from the que ry box. The following named teachers were present at the institute: Prof. Bel langee, G. S. McGrew, Jas. Tucker, J. O. Bedford, L. Mason, L. W. Cook, W. H. Berger, J. Dressier, J. L. Cole man, W. A.

P. Chotiieb, Sec'y. EDUCATIONAL. Pleasant Hill Teachers' Instltnte. Pleasant Hiu School House, Jan. 31, ,73. In accordance with the call of the Co. Superintendent, the teachers and citizens of the vicinity met for the purpose of holding an institute. The Superintendent not having ar rived, Mr. Jas. Peery was called to the chair, and Isaao Black was cho sen Secretary. ,, Mr. Wm. Chapman and Miss Mary Peery were appointed critics? The institute then proceeded to the discussion of the topic: "Influence and Responsibility of the Teacher." Opened by Mr. Black, and participa ted in by Messrs. Kennedy, S. W. McGrew and Sykes. Mr. Black brought out very forcibly, the almost unbounded influence and consequent ly the great responsibility of the teacher. The subject of "Third Grade Certif icates" was then discussed at some length, in quite an animated manner. A majority of those taking part in the discussion were of the opinion that there were not enough teachers hold ing first and second grade certificates to near supply the demand, and con sequently there exists a necessity for third grades. On motion the chairman appointed the following committee to take into consideration what changes, if any are necessary, in our school law : S. W. Kennedy, I. Black. . R. Sykes, J. O. Redfern and John Mclninch. A committee of three were appoint ed to furnish music, Messrs. Sykes, Black and Chapman. Critics report was then read. Adjourned till Saturday, 9 a. m. SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 1ST. Opened with with siuging. Prayer by Isaac Black. Mr. Wm. Chapman conducted an exercise in grammar, in which he showed his method of teaching. The views of the members were called for, and considerable interest was mani fested. Mr. Chapman showed his method to be practical, by combining written exercises with his recitations. Mr. Joseph Coleman led a class in mental arithmetic. Discussion fol lowed, in which Messrs. Pierson, Black, Chapman, S. W. and G. S. McGrew and Sykes took part. The question whether the subject of men tal arithmetic does not occupy too much attention in our schools, was discussed with much animation. A majority of the teachers presehtseem ed to be of the opinion that with pri mary classes, mental and written arithmetic should be combined, but some corabatted it very strongly. SATURDAY EVENING. Singing. D. W. Pierson conducted an exer cise in fractions, illustrating his meth od of explaining the different opera tions in multiplication and division of fractions. Mr. Black having to leave, F. R. Sykes was appointed assistant secre tary. G. S. McGrew exhibited his method of conducting a reading class, which elicited considerable discussion, but no particular method was agreed upon. F. R. Sykes then took up the sub ject, "Form and Motions of the Earth," Illustrating his method of presenting the subject by the use of the globe. First, proving the earth to be globular or nearly so ; second, elucidating the motions' of the earth by a practical illustration. Some teachers, however, questioned that part of the proof relating to a vessel on water. The committee on resolutions for the amendment of the school law report ed. Report accepted and committee discharged. On motion to adopt, after much dis cussion the following substitute was adopted : Resolved, That we request the members of the legislature from this county to use their influence to pass a law to keep all school funds in the counties where collected, until they are apportioned, then to send up the surplus, and each county retain what belongs to it. The following resolution was adopt ed by the chairman giving the cast ing vote : Resolved, That we recommend that school district officers be remunerated for their services, and be liable to a penalty for neglect of duty. The president appointed the follow ing committee on general resolutions: Messrs. G. Crow, W. H. Winters and G. S. McGrew. Adjourned till 7 p. m. EVENING SESSION. The subject of "School Govern ment was discussed. Opened by W. H. Winters. The discussion ran principally upon the subject of whisp ering. There was not unanimity of opinion. The query box was then opened, and some of the questions elicited considerable spicy debate. The committee on general resolu tions made the following report, which was adopted : Resolved, That we recommend the teachers of this county to be punctual in commencing school at 9 o'clock and closing at 4 o'clock. Resolved That we tender our sin cere thanks to the citizens of Pleasant Hill for their hospitality in entertain ing the members of the institute. It was moved and carried that when we adjourn, we adjourn to meet on the loth iust. at 7 o'clock p. m., at the school house in district No. 18.
