TEACHERS INSTITUTES.

The serie, OF Teachers Institutes, for the
present season, was closed by the one held at
Wlliston, on Tuesday and Wednesday Of
present week. We learn from a gentlemen
who was in attendance, a part of the time, at
WillisJon, that good degree of interest was
manifested by the people in the neighborhood,
and that teachers were present from various
parts Of the County. The Congregational
Church, where the meetings were held, was
well filled in the daytime and crowded in the
evenings.
Lectures were given by Mr.. Secretary Ad-
ans (ably assisted by Mr.. Conant, of our
own Union Schoo), illustrative OF the best
methods of teaching the various branches re-
quired to be taught in the Common Schools,
and on School Government. These Lectures
were listened to, we are told, with an increas-
ing interest, and by an increasing audience
until the close. The amount Of useful sug-
gestion and stirring impulse, as well as solid
instruction, which the Secretary manages to
embody in his lectures is surprising. If Su-
perintendents and Teachers were aware of
the value Of these Institutes, and of the deep
interest 1t IN the exercises by all who attend
them, no ordinary difficulties would keep
them away They cannot fail to profit, in
many ways, anybody oman, woman or chlld)
who attends them. 1t is a pity that any
Teachers in the County have failed to attend
the one lust closed Their Schools will
be thereby deprived Of an advantage to which
they have right
1t is strange that Superintendents do not
look to this. They ought to attend without
fail, themselves, and take the Teachers with
them. Doing this once would secure their
doing it again. We hope that any of our
readers, under whose eye this paragraph may
fall, will make a note ont, and when the
season comes round again, make his plans to
attend the Teachers Institute.

WASHINGTON IRVING.

The report of the sudden death, on the
evening of the 28th of November, of Wash
ington Irving, at his residence on the banks
of the Hudson, produced deep sensation in
the public mind. For fifty years or more
his name has been a loved one with all his
country men-we might say perhaps with
all who have been able to read the English
language. The sweetness of his style, the
purity of his sentiments, the geniality of his
humor, the brightness of his wit, the depth
of his pathos, the freshness of his narrative,
the vivacity of his description, the sincerity
of bis opinion, the honesty of his Judgment,
the generosity of his temper, all combined,
have given his writings a character which
cannot be surpassed-and perhaps never has
been equalled. With the high appreciation
of him as a writer there has been al
ways connected in the public mind an
absolute respect for him as man, on
which not even a passing cloud ever
cast a shadow. He was a native of New
York city, and in the 18th year of his age
when he died. He had been an invalid for
some time, but it is said, that the
immediate cause of his death-almost IN
stantaneous, as he was preparing TO uLui'''
for the night,-was caused by en- enlafSe-
ment of the heart. His niece was adjusting
his books and lights, so that ne coulo READ II
ba sbopId be wakeful, when he started,
,ressed his hand to his side as if sudden
main had seized him, sank upon the floor, and
never moved again. He was supposed to
have tainted; but it soon appeared that the
vital spark had fled. He was communi-
cant of the Episcopal church at Tarrytown,
and for several years past its senior warden.
He was buried at Tarrytown on Thursday,
a great conc urse attending his funeral. In
New York City, the bells were tolled on the
occasion and flags hung at half mast.
With Mr. Irving's decease there ends we
believe, the list of American writers of emf
nence of about his age and time. We have
no one now on the stage to make his place
good. The circle to which he belonged is
closed.
The last conversations If such man
as Washington Irving are always interesting.

From WASHINGTON. The New York Tn

b,lne's correspondent says:
There is not particle Of truth in the
statements fabricated here, and circulated
elsewhere, that the Southern Opposition pro-
pose afiliating with the Democracy on Or
ganizing the House. Letters from Gilmer,
Vance, Etheridge, Harris, Davis. and others,
explicitly deny any such purpose. There Is
contingency in which some may act separ-
ately but is not determined, and will be con-
sidered at a private meeting appointed for
Saturday. If the Pennsylvania delegation
mediate, as proposed, and invite free con-
ference of all the elements opposed to the Ad-
ministration, for the purpose Of organization
only, it is PROBABLE that Southern men will
unite without hesitation. Several have ez-
pressed their readiness 10 do so.
The position of Mr.. Boteler OF Virginia
has been misrepresented. While he says be
cannot vote for a Speaker nominated by
strictly Republican caucus, he will not vote
for any candidate presented by Democratic
caucus. The efforts of the Administration
and Democratic managers to conciliate the
Southern Opposition and then abuse them are
understood perfectly, and have made no In
preston"
From the Times correspondence:
ssThe Democratic programme for the House
nominations is pretty definitely made up on
a basis intended TO unite the two great wings
of the party. Bocock of Virginia is to be
mt forward for the Speakership, Allen for
The Clerkship, and Banks, of the Cincinnati
Enqmrer, for Printer. The scheme Is q
strong one, probably the strongest which the
Democracy could have concocted."
