styled Mr. Webster the Benedict Arnold of
the age. AT the conclusion, he offered Sc
ries of resolutions in which the speech was de

In connection with the above, il 10 under
stood that Arithmetic is TO be taught free by A.
B. WioGtNs, Principal of the High school in
this city. This Institute seems to promise such
an opportunity for improvement as no teacher
nor any one, within a reasonable distance, in
tending to engage soon in the business of teach
ing, should be willing TO let pass unimproved.
|, is to be hoped that the Importance Of these
two branches Of education will bring together
a large number Of teachers from different par .
ofnur county, and also others not residing too
IA distant to attend.
GRAMMAR AND GEOGRAPHY.
IL no better arrangement can be made in re-
gard TO Grammar. the teachers can devote an
hour per day 10 mutual instruction, and at
least as much attention as has been given at
our County Institutes, can be given to Geog-

IA sufficient proof of its continuation in hc

the coal is OF fossil origin, no one who has
ever read much on lte subject, or personally

such vast quantities of vegetable mate
could be accumulated and grown on the spo

general on the surface now occupied by lht

in which the most delicate stems and leaves
