You forget SEYMOUR, that we objected TO

we ere assured they were fashionable and ac-

pants being fashionable in La Crosse, is that
being a sand town, the people are accustomed
to forage into the adjacent country for provis-

Teachers, institute.

The Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton has appointed q Teachers Institute
to be held ut this place, to commence on
the 18th inst.-next Mondsy-and con-
tinue FIVE days. Lectures Of interest on
educational and kindred topics may be
expected. As this will be the first Insti-
tute ever held in the Saginaw Valley, let
all cooperate in making il an era in the
educational history of our country. Let
the citizens of East Saginaw, by their
presence at the meetings and by their
hospitality, exhibit their interest in and
zeal for the cause Of education. Let il
be the means and the occasion of arous-
ing the attention and enlisting the sym
pathy of the whole people in the subject
of popular education. Let US show by
our conduct to the strangers who shall
como that we appreciate the utility of
these gatherings. The interest it will
bring to our own schools will be enhanced
if oil our people will enter into the spirit
of the occasion.
The value Of these gatherings, both as
agencies for the training of teachers and
occasions for eultivating a more enlight-
ened and earnest educational sentiment
among the people, has been earnestly felt
and eloquently expressed in every State
in which they have been held. Does not
this sentiment need quickening here +?
Are we in this city as interested, as zeal
Gus in this cause, or even in the education
Of our own children, and the prosperity
of our own schools, as we should be A
new interest has been enkindled in the
cause of education, whenever and wher-
ever successful institute has been held.
Let us, then, enter heartily into the cause
Jet us lay aside for short time each
day Of that week, the fears and cares of
war and business, and let us for few
days give some attention to the highest
wants and best interests of our children.
1t is hoped that the strangers coming
among us that week will meet with the
same hospitality and welcome that they
have in other places. All who can TO.
ceive one or more into their families dur
ing the time are requested to report their
names and the number that can be ac-
commodated to p. GLYN, Mn. n. LITTLE,
or JOHN ERD. Teachers will be present
from this and the adjoining counties who
will expect the same hospitality which
they have found elsewhere on like occa-
sions. The appointment was asked for
and made relying upon this, and we feel
confident that these expectations will not
be disappointed.

quiet. You could sec the rebel pickots
