TEACHERS, INSTITUTES.

These friendly greetings of teachers ant
the official agents of our common scboo
system, We see by our exchanges are con
stantly multiplying, and can hardly fai
of being useful, by stimulating each othe
to greater zeal, and by impartiug to eacl
the benefits of their experience and obser
vations of all.
We received over two weeks after ;h,
adjournment, detailed account of tn,
late Institute at Hartleton. 1t is not o
sufficient general interest to copy in full
We would state however that the proceed
ings occupied three days, the routine Of
business being interspersed with discus
sions and practical illustrations of teach
ing in various branches: Formal ad
dresses were delivered by the President,
John A.Owens, and A. Swineford; Essays
read by c. E. Haus, Miss c. J. Thomp
son, s. o. McCurdy, Miss S. r. Croumil-
ler, and p. Z. Irwin; and Poem by C.S.
Swineford.
The following Officers were chosen

CTo be iuaugurated at the next Yearly
Meeting, in Mifflinburg, Monday, Dec.
26: 1850
Among the Resolutions adopted, we
copy the following:
Resolred, l. That we heartily approve
Of the present school law, and rejoice to
know that more has been done for the i'm.
provsment of our schools, during the last
five years, than had been done for twenty
years previous.
2. That the County Superintendency
has been the efficient agency in putting
the machinery of the school law into active
operation in this county, and that we re-
gard its continuance indispensable to fur.
ther improvement and efficiency.
8. That while teaching, we will here.
after labor more devotedly for the advance
ment of our pupils, and zealously improve
each moment in preparing for the better
discharge Of our responsible duties.
4. That if parents do not visit their
schools, and compel the regular attend
ance of their children, if practicable, they
do not discharge the duties which they
owe their children.
0, 10. That as the present icompensa,
ion of female teachers is generally about
wo-thirds as much as men receive in the
'ame employment and under the same cir.
it is fact mortifyiDg to wo-
nan and calculated to degrade her in the
Of the community, and it is
like inconsistent and unjust. That there t

all winter, will be disappointed. Give
them as great variety Of food as posi-
BILE, such as corn, buckwheat, oats, barley,
&C., with pure water, daily. Give them
fresh meat once or twice week, or often,
er, if convenient, with an occasional feed
of boiled potatoes or apples. In short,
make their feed as near as possible what
it is in summer, and not forget to give
them free supply of oyster shells pound
ed fine, or lime and sand. Mix lime and
sand as for plastering house, let it dry
and place box filled with it in one cor
ner of the hen house, and it is surprising
how fast it will disappear. Hens will lay
some in winter without being to all this
trouble they must have good, comfortable
quarters There are other advantages from
having good hen house aside from hens
laying in winter. Two or three wagon
loads of good home made guano, every
year, will soon pay the expense, and help
tn raise corn to feed them. Aud then,
again, fresh meat can not always be pro-
cured. They will lay if they have plenty
of corn and as this contains large por-
tion of oil or fat, it may perhaps be sub
stituted for meat to some extent

The WHEAT CROP IN ENGLAND
HEWITT DAVIS states that the wheat crop
in England is greatly on the Increase.
He says: "Formerly the return of wheat
rarely reached As bushels per acre, and
40 bushels we're considered great crop;
but last year, (lS57,) instances Of As !
bushels were comparatively common oil
over England, and as much as CT and - |
bushels per acre, and even more, were
publicly stated to have been grown in
Kent and Essex" What say the readers
of the Genesee Fdrn,er to this ?
ToBACco.-In reply to our offer for the
best essay con the best and earliest mode of
raising tobacco plants, a correspondent
facetiously remarks:
"Attach good team to an eagle plow,
and raise them on the mold-board of said
plow, and turn them under as the team
proceeds across the field. This should be
done early in the morning. l consider
this the earliest and best mode of raising
tobacco plants"
WHEAT IN EERMoNT-A correspon.
dent in Windsor county, VT, says: "The
idea that manure makes wheat lodge, is
the offspring Of laziness. We often raise
here between forty and fifty bushels of
spring and winter wheat per acre, while

HOW TO PROCURE EGGS IN WINTER.
Build commodious hen house upon
some plan, only that there be a roosting
apartment, place for feeding, with boxes
for nests. A good plan is TO build in the
shape of parallelogram, with the roosting
place across one end. The central por-
ton can be used for feeding, the boxes for
nests being placed around the sides Of the
building, with a small place between them
and the wall, that the hens may enter the
nests on the back side. Build the house
either of stone, wood or other material, as
may be thought best; but let it be warm
md comfortable in the coolest weather,
md so made that it can be we'll ventilated.

Neither Pianist, nor Violin Player.

1t was ten o'clock in the evening, and
in Madame Duffand's drawing-rOom wa:
assembled a brilliant company. All art
CAV, save one-why that sad face! The
rooms glitter with the dazzling lights, the
bright fire burns with cheerful blaze,
refreshments of nice little cakes and punch
have twice been passed, and the gay COM
pany of young people of both sexes seem
bent on one end-enjoymcn.. But how
does it happen that one countenance is so
sober? Madame Du1and, an amiable
lady of about fifty years, had invited all
the young people, on the occasion of her
daughter Henrietta's birthday, to fete,
with the promise of dance.
At the first arrival of the guests, two
letters had been handed together, announ-
cling that Madame's pianist who usually
ofhciated on such occasions, could not
come, having unfortunately sprained his
wrist; and from the violin player, that,
owing to some unforeseen necessity, he had
been required to leave Immediately for
Brussels. This intelligence came like
thunder clap to the good lady. "Henri-
etta,' she said, turning to her daughter,
"f you had in the least profted by your
piano lessons" But Miss Henrietta,
though seventeen years old, learned only
two or three great pieces a year, to play
at occasional festivals, aud had nothing
now on hand: playing at first sight was
altogether impossible for her. Madame
putfaud comforted herself, at first, with
'ae hope that among the many invited,
