CIRCULAR.

Arrangements have been made to hold two
Teachers Institutes One at Newport, and
the other at Fast Greenwich both 10 COM
mence on Monday evening, Oct. 3Oh, and to
continue IN session Though the week following
The exercises of each Institute will embrace
a review Of the studies usual, taught in the
Public Schools, with exemplfcations of the
best methods of instruction in each branch, and
public lectures and discussions on topics con.
nected with the nature, objects, means and
methods of education as carried OH in a system
of public schools.
The course Of instruction, lectures, room and
board, will be free to all persons who propose
to teach in the public schools of this State.
1t is hoped that these Institutes will be at
tended, not only by teachers, but by school
officers, parents and the friends of education
generally from the neighborhood in which they
are held.
That the exercises may be practical, and
suited To the wants of those who attend, every
person who proposes to become member of an
Institute, should make minute of such diff
cullies in classification, instruction and govern
ment of schools, as he has experienced, to be
presented at the appropriate time, for discus
sind and explanation.
Every teacher should provide himself with a
Bible, blank or common place book, and the
'readingbook used by the first Class, in the
schools of the town where he teaches, or ex-
poets TO teach.
School Committees and Trustees of School
Districts into whose hands this Circular may
come, are respectfully solicited to give as gen
eral information as practicable of the time and
place of these Institutes, and to render every
facility in their power, to teachers who may
be desrous of attending the same.
Should the promise of attendance by she
teachers warrant il, an Institute will be ap-
pointed both at Woonsocket and Westerly, to
commence on the Goth of November.
Application for boarding place may be
made in person, or by letter postage paid, to
Rev. A. III. DUMoNT, Ne,cpon, and TO Rev.
ROBERT ALLYN, East Greenwich.

A Trick upon Stage Robbers-Thcre have
lately been numerous robberies of trunks from
the stage between Erie and Westfed. A
novel plan was hit upon last week by Mr.. S.
Clarke, the agent at the latter place, for cap
turing the rascals who committed the depreda-
tions. The Fredonia Censor says that on
Thursday night last, as the stage was about TO
leave Westfeld for Northeast, unknown to
the driver or passengers he was safely buckled
in the hind boot among the trunks, and, thus
placed in ambush, started off Tho stage had
proceeded but about mile, and was ascending
hill, when MIR. c. feh somebody at work up
on the straps, in the act of unloosing them
This being finally accomplished, and the leath-
er top thrown up by the robbers, Clarke sprang
out and seized one of them, upon which the
stage passengers were alarmed and came to
the rescue. In the meantime the other free
hooters took to their heels. The bird caught,
whose name is Dwight Onley, (of Westfeld,)
was then taken to Westfeld, and on Saturday
was arraigned on two charges; lst, of having
stolen trunks from the stage at previous times,
and I'd, for the last attempt at robbery. On
the latter charge he was committed for trial,
and bound over in the sum of $1,000.

O. We made a few typogra phical error.

C We made few typographical errors
in reporting the proceedings of the Town
Meeting Of the 7th inst, in the vote proposed
by MIR. Pearce on the subject of the Standard
Of Measure presented to this town by Mr. Ste
vens. We are happy to correct those errors,
and to be enabled now, TO give to the public
copy of the communication made 10 the town,
on presenting this Standard. Our good cil-
zens must have long felt the want of Stand
ard of Measure. How many expensive law
suits relative to land measure may now be pre-
vented as well as litigation in every case where
measure is concerned. The suggestion made
in this communication relative to the excess Of
the old measure over the now established
measure is an excellent notice to land holders
in verifying their lines and quantity of land, be-
fore they commence a lawsuit or make sale Of
their lands.
1t would be well if our Dry Goods dealers
would often verify their yard measures. The
public may be benefited by it.
To The To,cn Of NeDport, in the State Of
Rhode Island, &c.
herewith present to the town of Newport,
by the hands of the Hon. Dutee ]. Pearce, an
exact copy of the Standard Yard Of the Uni
ted States, for linear measure, and have care
fully compared it with the Standard of the
United States deposited by order of Govern
ment in the Custom House at Providence, and
with copy of the British Standard of Meas
ure, which | obtained from the Exchequer
Chamber in London, forty years ago, certified
by the proper officer of that department, and
since compared by Hassler, late Superinten-
dant of the U. s. Coast Survey, with copy
by Troughton and found by him to be exact.
In presenting the Standard, to this, my ma
tive town, would remark that this measure
has been used by me for many years in all the
land surveys have made in this and the
neighboring towns, for individuals, by order OF
the several Courts, in litgated land cases, and
in the survey of the whole State of Rhode Is
land, for the Map thereof.
| would also state that the surveys of many
of the towns made for the first proprietors of
the lands in this State exceed in measure this
Standard, from three to fourteen per cent, the
quantity of difference in each town, has caused
much time and expense to determine, by prop
er investigation, and should be noted by my
successors in this profession.
The subdivisions on this yard are correct
enough for all ordinary practical purposes but,
| do not warrant them to be of the same de-
gree of precision as the yard itself.

With sense of honor. faStidious to a nicely,
and with well balanced and enlightened
mind did Brant expose the secret of remedies
and thus do more to assuage the mortality o'
Consumption and Scrofua, than all the medi.
cal science of the world. This action should
have met with bright and more glorious re-
rown than any splendid achievement he was
capable of accomplishing. The true merit OF
these remedies are the only hope and stay in
Consumption and Scrofula. and doubtless are
fast becoming the only reliance as perfect
cure. Please look over the advertisement.
