EDUCATIONAL.

The School directors of Pike district in this
county, requested the teachers of the township
to meet at the LeRaysville Academy, on the
28th and 29th of April last, for the purpose
of organizing district Institute, or drill
Upon the 28th, therefore, about forty young
ladies and gentlemen assembled and were form
ed into teachers class by the County Su-
perintendent who had been invited by the
board of directors to be present and conduct
the exercises. The two days were pleasantly
and we trust profitably spent by the teachers,
in drilling upon the several branches which
they are required to teach. Quite a number
Joined the class who were not teachers, but
who came in for the purpose Of receiving in
structon Several of the prominent citizens
were also in attendance most of the time. A
permanent organization was effected, and the
teachers of the town are to meet once in four
weeks and their time while thus engaged goes
on as if they were teaching. This is new
move for Bradford, and 1t is to be hoped that
other towns will be induced to follow the ex-
ample of Pike Great credit is due to the di-
rectors for the success Of the plan. At the
close, the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by large audience =
ResoLred, That the Common School interest
is second to none except that of Religion, and
merits the best efforts of every philanthrOpist
in our land for it's advancement.
ReS0Lred, That among the various plans
adopted for the advancement of that cause,
District Institutes are not among the least ef-
| fective, and should be formed and encouraged
in every District
Res0Lred, That the first effort of Prof G.
r. Coburn, in LeRaysville, has been pre-emi-
nenty successful one and presents q strong
! inducement to perSevere in the cause which
has a commencement so auspicious.
| ResoLred, That Prof. Coburn has by his kind
and winning manner, his untiring efforts the
consummate skill in the management of the
Institute, as we'll as the correct instruction in
the science of teaching, richly merited the
heartfelt gratitude of the members of the Pike
District Institute
ResOired, That the full and punctual atten-
dance Of the Teachers, as well as the ladylike
and gentlemanly department, and the good at
tention they have paid to the instructions gi-
ven, merit and receive the hearty thanks of
the Directors of Pike District and the County
Superintendent.
Res0ired, That we sincerely thank the friends
of education who have favored Us with their
presence and influence, and we extend a cor
dial invitation to all, to unite with US in our
efforts to promote the good cause.
ReSoired, That we, the visitors, directors
and teachers, in view Of the interest and salts
faction we have had at. this time, do pledge
ourselves individually and collectively to con-
tinue our efforts until we secure the full bene-
fit to be derived from the District Teachers
Institute.
Resoired, That copy of the foregoing reso-
lutions be furnished the Pennsylvania School
journal and the County Papers for publica-
ton.

that the Mormons are equipping companies to
come out on the road this Spring, for the pur-

troops. We learn, also, from New-Mexico that
a number of Utah Indians who are known to

them against the army but their attempts

If we are to credit a dispatch from Fort

ed i'll the New York papers, the Mormon War
is ended before it has well begun. 1t informs

bringing the news that the Mormons were
leaving Salt Lake City for the White River

The UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAw-The Su-
preme Court of Massachusetts has had before
it a railroad case, which is remarkable for the
number of times it has been tried, and the
different views that different jures have taken
of it. The plaintiff, with ber husband and a
young lady, had been to Brighton, in the even
ing, in sleigh, and were returning to their
home in Needham, when they approached the
crossing of the railroad, over the main road,
just as the last Newton special train came along
In attempting to cross, the sleigh was struck
by the train, and Mr. Shaw received injuries
of which he died in short time Mrs Shaw
was so badly mangled, that she remained sew
eral days between life and death, and finally
recovered with the loss of one arm, and por-
tion of the other. The young lady was drag
ged along by the train, but most wonderfully
escaped all serious injury. The case was tried,
and verdict of $l5, 600 was rendered against
the company. The latter appealed aud obtained
new trial The second trial the jary increaS-
ed the damages to $4,000 A second time

THE NEW LIQUOR LAW.

A wide difference has arisen in constituting
the requirements of the license law passed by
the late Legislature. In the Courts of this
County, Judge WTLMoT took the view that 10
discretion was left with the Court, except in
cases where petition was made against the
granting of license, or where the applicant
was already charged with violations of laws
relating to the sale of liquors In all other
cases, where the proper petition was present
ed, it was not discretionary with the Court to
deny the application. The same view, we see,
has been taken by Judge PEARSON, of the
Dauphin district.
Judge GALBRAIrH, of the Erie district, on
the contrary has placed construction upon
the law entirely at variance with those just al
luded to. In Northampton county, last week,
a number of new applications came up and
we're confidently pressed upon the ground that
their necessity for the accommodation Of the
public was not to be conSidered-that having
complied with the forms of the law, they were
entitled to their licenses as a matter of course,
and that the Court could not refuse them
Gov Reeder, however, who was adversely en-
ployed, took the ground that the Legislature
were entirely mistaken as to the meaning and
effect of the law they had passed that it had
no such operation as was generally ascribed to
it, and that in fact, the Court was bound to
inquire, as under the old law, whether the
tavern proposed was necessary for the ac-
commodation of the public, and if, in their
opinion, it was not necessary, they must re-
ject the application.
The position is based on the legal operation
of proyiso in the sixth section of the new
law, and also upon the argument that by the
repeal of a repeating law the third section of
the act of 1884 was unexpectedly revived.
The Court sustained the position Of Gov.
REEDER, and declined giving any licenses to
the parties applying, except in one case, which
was held over under advisement, until June.
