" Meeting of the Teachers Assoeiation-
Tic Teachers Association of Wheeling, met or
Saturday in the First Ward School
= call being made for reports, Mr. Urquhart
read very elaborate and highly instructive pa
per on the science of numbers. He spoke of
the origin, and progress of Arithmetic, and by
whom and when the varioussystelns of notation
were devised. He Thought the denary the most
perfect system of counting too much SO to
have been of human origin, and therefore he
believed its origin must have been divine He
sustained this view quite plausibly, by pointing
out the land marks in the history of this system,
proving it to be of very ancient origin He
did not accept the definitions of many of tho
text books.
Various remarks upon the report by several
members followed, after which the President
announced the question for the evenings discus
sion: "0ught the sexes to be educated togeth-
CT" Considerable discussion ensued, in which
the subject was quite freely handled The
discussion, if it could be called such, was how
ever, all on one side, the opinion being about
unanimous that the sexes should be educated
together and not separately. The arguments
OucIcu were CuSellt convincing. BON sexes
it was urged, usually exist in the same family
the same town, the same neighborhood, thus
demonstrating that nature intended boys and
girls to be reared together, and as nature truly
followed never leads into error, a true education
would not separate the sexes. Many people had
notion that the morals of their children would
be contaminated, but this was a false idea. The
effect was the reverse, a purifier instead of a
contamination. The association of the youth of
the two sexes served to soften down and sub
due the rough features in the character of the
boys, while it would strengthen and fortify that
of the girls.
On motion the further discussion of the sub
ject was postponed till the following meeting.
1t was resolved to have an excursion and May
party in 1.-THE middle of the May"
The discussion of proposition for fuller
and more complete classification in the City
Public Schools, was made the first business in
order at the succeeding meeting.
On motion the Association adjourned to meet
on the 9th of April next, in the Fifth Ward
School House.

EW-T The Rights Of Hoga.-There are an in.
Vulnerable number of hogs (hogs with four legs
now running about this city, knocking down
puiings, roofing up commons, running over
babies, dismantling crinoline, violating the ord-
nance and playing ''root hog or die" generally.
The attention of the municipal authorities has
been directed to these hogs by certain sufferers
who regard the whole species as n nuisance, and
unless the owners pen up the brutes, trouble
may cnsue. The ordinance provides that no
person IN the city shall own and permit to run
at large more than two hogs and that these shall
be duly registered in book to be kept by the
city Sergeant for that purpose. "A hog hater,"
in recounting his suierings, says:
kept dog, but he and the hogs got to fight
ing and raised tremendous row about my
house. bought strychnine; but got afraid
that piece OF the poisoned creature might be
sold TO myself; and my hair stood on end Ike
6ristleS at the thought, and didn't use 1t.
bought big stick and thrashed the hogs, big
and little; but the little boys shouted at me, and
called mc1 hog for doing it. threw rocks at
them, but broke window, and bad to'pay the
damage before a justice. threw hot water on
them, but their hides were too. tough to be al
Hcted by it. let fig poker at some porkers
the other night, and came near Knocking the
Drains cut OF an III shInan' anu "e S"''ee ~
with a shelleah all round the lot, and it was
only by diving through a hole in the fence,
made by n hog, that made my cscape-whicIi,
by the way, was the first service hog ever
rendered me- tC
Iplanted steel rat.trap near my door TO
catch theirfeet but about midnight it caught
one OF my niggers, and am now paying doc,
tors bill. In fact, tried every device, and
HON appeal to you to draw the attention oil the
authorities TO this state of things, and TO ask
then, are hogs to be recognized US having the
privileges of citizens in this cityg
Yours, A Hoe Halter
We learn that il hog owners do not pen up
their pork, the city Sergeant will Immediately
proceed to execute the law, which provides that
all over two hogs running at large and owned
by one person, shall be taken up aud sold for
TIE benefit of the city.

Accident at Washington.

A man named Bloomfield, living at Oxford
Furnace, whilst ascending through the trestle-
work of bridge on which some carpenters were
employed in making repairs, received horrible
cash from an adze which one of the men was
using in trimming plank. AS Bloomfeld's
head and shoulders appeared above the bridge,
he saw the uplifted adze, and had but barely
time to throw up his arm, which diverted the
blow from his head or neck, receiving it, how
ever, on his back, near the shoulder blade. The
wound was a very large and deep one, and of
couse, the poor fellow bled profusely. He was
quickly removed to the hotel of w. W. Stra-
der, where Dr. Joseph Cook promptly gave him
the necessary surgical attendance. His escape
from instant death was almost miraculous

Every citizen of our town is aware of the out
of the way location of the room where our Band
meet to practic, and the difficulties, pecuniarily
speaking, under which they labor. Cannot
these obstacles be surmounted, through the in
strumentality of our music-loving community !?
Surely they can. We have suggestion to
make which, we think will meet the approval of
ALL Let the Band rent the Hall in the third
story of Cray's Building, and our citizens assist
them by subscription, for which they will be
remunerated by being allowed to attend re-
hearsals and concerts. Every one can spare a
dollar for this purpose, which may be the means
of infusing spirit of life and vigor into the
breasts of our musicians. Think of it, and we
hope, when you are done thinking of it, some
member of the Band will be there to take your
name down.
