LuEenbury. ..Teachcrs' Institute.

The institute holden in this town the llth
and 10Th of this month was a success. 1t
was largely attended, and we trust will be of
benefit to the schools of Essex county. The
evening Of the llth was devoted to a lecture
by Mr. Adams, on Vermont emigration. He
showed conclusively that Vermont was, on an
average, more productive than any Of the
Western states, and yet was suffering depior-
ably by the vast amount Of emigration to
the West. Ii is doubtless time that Yer
;non;ers looked the truth boldly in the face,
and believed less of the tabled stories of the
far West, as it cannot bc doubted that those
who stay in Vermont come out as well or bet
ter in the end than those who cmigrate. The
| 18th was devoted to Illustrations as to how
schools should be taught, and the manner of
conducting them, which was very interesting,
as everything of the kind must be, conducted
by Mr. Adams. In close the following reso-
utiCn was offered:

Crossing Lake Michigan In a Balloon,
Mr.. Steiner on the 4lh assembled in bal
loon at Milwaukee, and soon reached an ell
ovation Of $4,000 feet, losing sight Of the
city. He was surrounded by thunder
storm-hghtning flashing, thunder roaring
making the scene he says terrific one.-
Rain fell fast, he was wet through, the bal
loon descended rapidly, ballast had to go
overheard to keep it aAoat, the air became
disagreeably cold, the mercury standing at
Ss deg. We quote Mr.. Steiner's account
of his adventures and perils, quite an over
balance it strikes us Of any profit or pleas
ure in air journeying:
The rain continued to fall for thirty min
utes, when / once more caught sight Of
the earth the sun also commenced to shine,
expanding the gas, causing the balloon to
ascend rapidly. now began to congratu-
lato myself that tho greatest danger was
over, but l was doomed to disappointment;
scarcely was l allowed to catch view Of
the earth, when another storm closed around
me. l now gave up all hope of reaching
the shore before the balloon came down to
the water. / threw overheard everything
to keep her on her course-grappling irons,
even my overcoat--but all in vain. Down
she came, but not, however, until the storm
passed of, and could see quite plainly
where l was.
l now found myself ten miles from the
eastern shore, and about opposite the Kala-
mazoo river. The atmosphere had become
almost calm; at Z o'clock and minutes,
struck the water nine miles from shore
with light breeze from the west; but
found the wind was hauling round to the
eastward, driving the balloon TO sea again
Seeing no vessel in sight, l found it impos
sible to get to tne shore. knew if 1 could
get up to an elevation of 1000 feet, would
strike the great eastern current; there
fore got into the rigging of my balloon, cut
away the car, and made the second ascen
sion; in minutes l had reached the eleva'
ton of 5000 feet, was sitting on the hooE
going to the eastward, and the sun rose the
second time to my view.
In fifteen minutes | was over the beach
l now commenced a rapid descent; but ii
encountering the under current, it sent me
from the shore into the water. Tho whole
length of this journey is 10S miles, occupy
ing 2 hours and 80 min. In a short time
after l landed, crowd of fishermen gath
cred around, aiding me in securing my bal

ALiYeIY Contest.

Sunset Cox, who has been nominated fol
reelection in the Columbus District, is des-
tined to have the liveliest kind of time
during the canvas. He has not only got
the pucky Breckenridge fragment to fight
fairly and squarely, but the Republicans
are bent on trying their best to oust the un-
certain gentleman from his place. More
than this, Gen. Geiger is bound to be af-
ter him, and denounce him from stump to
stump as a bought up supporter of the Le-
compton iniquity. The General has alrea-
dy opened the fight in regular Jo. Geiger
sort, and means to follow up the FIRST attack
with "more of the same sort" Bob sup
port Douglas, but have proper appreciation
of each Enthusiastically Register.

The total expense of the Post Office De-
partment for the last nineteen years, has
been in the Free States, $50, ,99l ,2O3, while
the total receipts for postage has been $685.
64S,5l0. In the same time, the expense
of the Department in the Slave States has
been $5O,544,416, while the receipts
amounted to little over half, or to $27, ,549,-
62O. This is one of the hardshps which
the South has had to endure. Over $27,-
100000 paid in ninteen years to make up
what the receipts from postages failed to
pay of the expenses of the Department.
Slavery has been bar to cheap postage

The QUAKER and the Bully.

A genuine bully called upon "Friend,
avowedly to thrash him.
"Friend," demonstrated the Quaker,
knocking aside his visitors. fists, "before
thou proceedest to chastise me, wilt thou
take some dinner~
The bully being glutton, at once con-
sented, washing down the solids with liba-
tions of strong ale. He rose up again to
fulfill his original errand.
"Friend," said the Quaker, "wilt thou not
first take some punch?" And he supplied
abundance of punch.
The bully, now staggering, attempted to
thrash his entertainer; but, quoth the
quaker:
"Friend, wilt thou not take pipe2"
This hospitable offer was accepted, and
the bully, utterly weak, staggered across
the room to chastise the Quaker. The
latter opening the door and pulling him to-
ward it, thus addressed him:
"Frieud, thou camest here not to be
pacifed; Igave thee meat-ofFering, but that
did not assuage thy rage; gave thee a
drinking offering, neither did that suffice
now l will try thee with heave-ofEering."
And with that he tossed him out of doors.
That sufficed him.

All will remember the Sophia Werner
murder, sometimes called the "barrel mys-
terry" which took place at or near Chicago
some time ago; Henry Jumperiz, being
tried twice for the murder, and coming al
most in sight Of the gallows, was finally ac-
quilted. He went to 81. Louis, ruined in
purse and broken in spirit, yet followed by
the kindness of very few fast friends-

Improvement i'm virginia.

Not long ago having the New York Trib-
une in possession was considered prison
offence in liberal and enlightened Virginia !
But even the slave-ridden Old Dominion
moves, for it has now been decided at Al
exandria, within sight of the capital of this
boasted free Republic, that the New York
Tribune is not an incendiary document
The Philadelphia Inquirer's Washington
letter of the 8th says:
An unfortunate Jerseyman, who came to
reside opposite Washington, in Virginia,
was arrested some time since, on the charge
of reading the New York Tribune, or, in
other words, leaving it 'lying around loose, +"
where slaves might get hold of it, and re-
volt. His examination was had yesterday,
at Alexandria, before one of the old fogy
judicial tribunals, called an Examining
Court, where the prisoner was discharged,
the Court deciding that thus using the Trib-
une was not circulating incendiary docu-
ments. In view of the fact that none of
the country slaves can read, the arrest of
the man for having the Tribune in his house
is refreshing. Let Greeley take courage.

At Republican ratification meeting re-
Gently held in jamestown, N. Y. James NJ.
Brown, Esq, prominent lawyer and here
tofore Democrat of the straitestsect, pub.
licly renounced his Democratic faith, and
made known his intention to work and vote
for the Republican nominees.
The Iowa State Register says that five
voters in one family at Rising Sun, near
Des Moines, who voted the Democratic
ticket last year, are now in favor of the Re-
publican ticket. Thus it goes everywhere.
A Republican correspondent of the New
York Tribune at Fort Des Moines, Iowa,
writes that Lincoln will have a very large
majority in Iowa.
Twelve of tho Democratic papers in
have pronounced for Breckenridge
and four for Douglas. There are a number
yet on the fence, among which are the
Bardstown Gazette and Owensboro' Demo-
crat.
The Republicans of Wisconsin are thor
oughly organizing and entering upon the
canvass. Their chief difficulty is the want
of any formidable party to encounter
Douglasism there is flat and hopeless, and
the Breckenridge men are chiefly busted
with fighting Douglas and johnson.
A Michigan editor travelling through
Oakland, Wayne and Genessee counties,
says the wheat crop and the Republican
vote will be unusually large next harvest
In somc neighborhoods they were confident
Of thirty bushels to the acre, and-not a
Democrat within fire miles, In these
they have fine schools, well
filed meeting houses, no "corner groceries"
and never bolt their doors.
The reelection of Mr.. Gwin to the United
States Senate is considered doubtful, even
if his party succeeds, which is also doubtful
since the change and overthrow of the dem
ocracy in Oregon, and the defeat of Joe
Lane. The Pacific States promise as full
a reputation of modern Democracy as
their older sisters at the North. All the
signs promise the establishment of Re-
publican principles all over the Union.
The Stenbenville Union of the 18th inst,
publishes call for Breckenridge and Lane
meeting at that place, signed by over two
hundred Democrats of that vicinity.
The st. Paul Minnesotian says that when
all the Democratic papers 10 Minnesota
have taken their position, they will stand
sleven for Breckenridge and Lane and four
'or Douglas and johnson.
The Philadelphia City Democratic Com
nittee, composed of one member from

IL, TO iudorse Douglas. A motion to in
iorse Foster was carried, 23 to 1.-The
