passed on the occasion -
Resolved, That while we would not
be ungraterl for the many blessings with
when our land is favored. we would ON
this occasion render practical praise to
our Father in Heaven for the bestow-
ment of the christian dispensation with
its attending blessings, and in so doing
show our appreciation of the tolls and
sacrifice Of our devoted Pastor, Rev. +.
u. Hopkins, by contributing our mites
to tighten the burden Of the care-worn
itinerant.
Resolved, That while other and more
favored portions of our hitherto happy
Union are convulsed with anger and give
tokens of fraternal warfare, we have
abundant reason to be thankful to Divine
Providence for that peace and plenty
that dwells among our hills.
ORLEANS COUNTY TEAeHER's Asso-
CIArIoN.-The Association met accord
ing to notice at Glover, Jan, 18th.
Owing to i'll health, the president was alb
sent and NJ. F. Varney, vice president,
presided. Neither of the Executive
Commute were present, no lecturers APP
peared, nor did any one present know of
any arrangement for the meeting-but
slight notice had been given, but very
few of the citizens came in, and but
re,Y small number of teachers took pains
to attend But Notwithstanding all these
discouragements, the time was pleasantly,
and we think proftably spent. G. w.
Todd Of Glover read an able and very
interesting lecture Friday evening, sub
jet, The Utility of knowledge The
second day was passed in very inter-
esting discussion on school discipline,
and the best method Of teaching some of
the practical studies in our schools. A
lively interest was manifested in the dis
,ussion, and the audience steadily in
creased till the Congregational Church
was respectfully filed during the last
session
Upon the whole, the meeting was far
more successful than might have been
expected under the circumstances, though
We were sorry to see so few of the citi-
sens of Glover present, hearing, as we
)iten do, Of their interest in common
schools. A few, however, we're in con-
tant attendance, and the success Of the
meeting is mainly owing to the untiring
zeal AID active cooperation of Reys.
'lr. Scott and Perkins, Mr.. George w.
Todd and Mr.. J. Phillips. The Associ-
iion adjourned to hold its next meeting
It Coventry, at such time as the Exccu-
i've Committee should deem proper. L
to be hoped, however, they viii fix
pom an early day and, if possible, fulfil
heir duty as prescribed by the consttu-
on.
