for the education Of Teachers. This lnsti

The Goth Of April last, under the direction
,i' Professor s. r. Sweet, Of Rome, Oneida

students, mostly Teachers of common

instruction 10 tho various branches Of com
mon school education including The anal,y
sis of the English Language, Elocution and
other branches not hitherto taught in our
schools, aud also in tho most approved
methods Of teaching. AT the close Of the
session, the students left the school highl,
pleased and gren,ly benefited. Justice e
those who attended the school compels me
to say, tina, having subsequently, visited
nany Of their schools, | found happ.
state Of things to prevail.
The improved methods Of teaching rec
ommend and adopted at tho institute, had
been successfully introduced. The Teach.
ers were animated at their much greater
success in teaching, the children wero de-
lighted with their studies, parents were
pleased at the rapid progress oil their ch'l.

schools, and finally every element Of the
school had apparently received new I'm

cure the RICH, Of way, returned on Satur
day last. He has completed the chsrge
entrusted to him and given all the ncccssa
~ instructions into the hands Of the severn
committees appointed for the purpose along
the line &c the track.
Mr.. Parker reflects the opinion, which,
he says, is general along the route. thai
The refusal Of Chicago 10 subscribe $780,
900 to secure the proximity Of the Road L
within Eve miles Of that city. was altage,h
er favorable to the prosperity Of the Road
Any one to look upon the mp can easily
satisfy himself Of this fact. Under The pro-
posed arra:gemen, the junction Of the Rock
Island and Michigan Southern Road would
have been effected within FIVE miles Of CHI
cago, and for that purpose the former Rose
would have had 10 deviate five miles from
a direct line. a, prescn. The junction oc'
ours ten miles from Chicago and thus an
unnecessary travel Of FIVE miles back and
forth. OF ten miles, is saved.
