Teachers Institute.

The NORMAL TEAcHERs' INSTITUTE,
which closed its labors in this village on
Friday evening, created but little interest
among our citizens, yet, We feel confident
It's fruit will be seen hereafter There
were seldom more than two or three Wis
itors in during the day, and the evening
lectures were generally to small audien-
ceS. But those who did attend, appeared
TO feel deep interest in the efforts being
made TO advance the cause of Education,
while the Teachers present,as we'll as those
having charge of the Institute, appeared
to be fred with zeal highly commenda-
BILE. Their efforts, though apparently
feeble. like the first workings of the leav-
en- hid in the meal, we have no doubt, will
have salutary effect upon the cause of
Education in this vicinity. Such was the
determined character manifested by both
Professors and Teachers, that the public
may rest assured, let others act rs they
may, they will not shrink under the heavy
load placed upon them, but with perse-
vcring energy, labor on in SO good a cause
until success shall crown their efforts, aud
the world have reason to rejoice that there
were those, though few in number, who
we're willing to spend their best days for
the benefit of posterity.
May they live to see the time when the
schools of our country shall be looked up.
on as the nurseries of all shat is good and
virtuous when from them shall emanate
such an influence as shall raise the pro
fesslon Of teaching to its proper level, and
render unnecessary farther efforts, such
as they have oheerfully put forth TO sus
tain and elevate it.
Our readers are referred to another col
umn for the published proceedings.
