For tho Moig. cos..y 1.leyraph.

Mr.. EDIroR: Permit me, you please,
10 call tho attention of the teachers of
Meigs County. and others interested, to
the fact, that on the second day of Au-
gust next, the session of the first Teach
ers' Institute ever held in Meigs County,
will be commenced. Arrangements have
been made to secure some of the very best
lecturers aud teachers in Ohio. Prof.
Robert Allyn, of tho Ohio University,
says he will be present, and Pres. Lorin
Andrews, of Kenyon, and Pres. Andrews,
of Marietta, have been written to upon the
subject. and will, probably, one or both
of them, bo present.
The County Commissioners at their
session last month, very kindly appropri-
ated the sum Of one hundred dollars, the
amount to which they were limited by
statute, to defray tho expenses in part of
the Institute. The balance must be made
up by the teachers themselves. True, the
advantages of this session are open to ev
cry teacher in the County, as the law
which authorizes the appropriation makes
provision that the Institute shall be open
and free to every teacher, and to every
person who expects to teach within the
next twelve months; yet tie teachers
must rniss half AS much 10 is appropri
ated by the County. before that sppropri-
stion is available. There are at least one
hundred teachers in Meigs County who
ought TO attend this first session of the
Institute; yes, every teacher IL the County
should attend and receive all the advan-
tayes aud encouragements here mutually
given and received. The bost modes Of
conducting and governing Schools will
be explained. together with all Improve
men,s III the art Of teaching.
Teachers of Meigs, most earnestly en-
treat you for your own advantage and rep
utation as teachers, to attend. By thus
coming together, you will be inspired with
new courage and zeal, to perform with
fidelity. the onerous and responsible du
ties Of your vocation.
May we not also hope, that those gen
tlemen in the different townships of the
County, who were appointed at the last
meeting of the Teachers Association. and
who Were notified of tho fact through the
Telegraph, will act and send in to the
Committee on the 18th inst, rs many
names Ms possible? Come, gentlemen, do
net. as sincerely believe you could not do
n better act in the same time.
Mn. EpIToR: If you can afford me
space in your next issue, will prepare an
article, short ns possible, upon the origin,
object, necessity, and effects of Teachers
Institutes.
Aud. Mr.. Editor, can you not find some
cool corner or shady nook, and give US a
few words of encouragement from your
vigorous pen? Certainly. it would be a
panacea for ennnj, 80 dangerous this warm
weather. Truly youls,

LETARr, July Sd. 1858.
According to previous arrangement, the
Sabbath Schools of this place. met at the
NJ. E. Church. at eight O'Clock, and were
formed in procession by the Marshall, II.
Hayman, and marched to Mr. Harding's
orchard, at which place, the exercises were
opened by singing, followed by prayer by
the Rev. w. Glen, at the conclusion of
which The Declaration of Independence
was read by j. Ii. Lawhead, followed by
an able an eloquent address by the Rev.
w. Glen, in which he showed, most con
clusively, that if wO desire to preserve
liberty, and extend its blessidgs to all, we
must guard, with ever watchful eye, the
Common Schools, and Free Institutions of
our land, and labor assiduously in their
extension. At the close of the address the
ladies served upa collation., of which all
partook in such manner as showed most
conclusively, that shey appreciate good
'housewifery." After all had done ample
justice to the bounties SO plentifully pro-
vided, they were escorted back 10 the
village by the Letart Martial Band, which
diEcoursed such soul-stirring music, that
caused all to go to their homes, convinced
that the fires Of seventy-six still burn in
the breasts of some at least, Of the in
habitants of Letart, and should tho voice
of suffering humanity be heard calling for
assistance, they will be among the first to

EpIToRs TALEGRAPn Your readers
may be pleased with an idea of the Cele-
b,ation of our National Independence,
made at Pagetown. on the Sd inst.
Having selected the day as one Of re-
creation to ourselves. We left home at ar
early hour. expecting to spend the time
but miniature celebration. We were
surprised ON nearing Pagetown, to find the
road filled with conveyances, pressing
earnestly forward as though there was
something To gain or loose. and that there
might be dang-rin delay. Music of oldon
time--fife and drum, greeted our ears
great numbers had already gathered, and
more came pouring in, until the whole
town indoors and out MAS completely filed.
AL 10 o'clock, A. NJ, well ordered
procession was formed, and marched to a
convenient shade, to hear the speaking.
Speeches were made in very appro-
PIRATE manner, by Rev. Mr.. Welsh and
Mr.. Townsend
The attention of the audience was called
to consider the advantages of that indie
pendence bought SO dearly by the blood OF
our forefathers. and the great necessity Of
our perpetuating our FREQ institutions, and
our growing ad santages to those who came
after us.
Accessions were made to our number
until the close Of the speaking. when it
was estimated that there were from twelve
to fifteen hundred persons present.
AT re O'Clock, NJ, Mr.. Jas. NJ. Cooper
announced the preparation of an abundant
dinner, sufficient and free to all, and on
repairing to the table, we found surely
that we had not been misinformed, there
was an.abundance, not only of subStancinl
but of luxuries, to supply half as many
more.
The benevolence aud patriotism of the
PagetOwn Ladies, in their untiring efforts
to make the celebration one of pleasure
aud comfort, entities them to very much
credit, aud 10 position rs models for any
place where celebrations are proposed.
In SO small place tho work Of preparing
dinner for SO large numbar and in 80
good style, could not have been small.
In tho afternoon, several toasts were
gwen, with several short speeches. closing
with one from Mr.. J. NJ, Cooper, who
complimented highly the intelligence and
beauty of the ladies' present and expressed
his thanks to the gentlemen who brought
them, and hoped they would see them safe
home.
Temperance was exhibited throughout
The whole day. We do not believe any

This machine works admirably in every re-

Its rotary motion gives accelerated velocity
to its cutters, enabling it to cut smooth and
easy. The finger racks being connected by a
hinge, allows it to adjust itself to uneven
surfaces; it is without side-draft, and entirely
free from clogging; it requires less power and
less managing; it can run slow or fast, around

are well guarded from stones, aud can be set
