lures by Prof. Stearns, noted for his
wonderful control Of the human mind
and the power he possesses over the in
tellectual faculties of his subjects. He
delivered three lectures here, all of
which were well attended. The dem
constructions of his favorite science, Psy
chology, were, many Of them, beauti-
ful, and all mirthful and entertaining.
lie holds forth at Plover and Stevens
Point this week, and we can assure our
friends in those localities that the en-
tertalnment is worth the charge.
The Professor, in almost every place
where he lectures, has the conscious
ness OF relieving much pain, and often
times preserving life, by magnetism
and ''the laying on of hands," He has
greatly improved the condition Of Mr..
Ira Purdy, Of this town, who has for
some time been unable to get around
without the aid Of cane. He has al
SO relieved a little daughter of Mrs.
Cole, who has been very low for nearly
two months. It now seems much
strengthened and quite cheerful.

3. p. BANGS, EsQ.-Deur SIR
Upon me dcvolycs the painful duty Of
informing you that your son Luther is
no more. He died this morning about
) o'clock. He was taken with fits or
spasms few minutes before, and
breathed his last before the Surgeon
could be sent for. The doctor pro-
nOunced his disease as heart disease.
He was in usual health when he re-
tired He had one of the same kind
of spasms at ColIieryille. Perhaps he
wrote you about it. He commenced a
letter to his sister last evening and
wrote till he got tired, when he made
this remark: 90, pshaw! | can't write
tonight; SO I'll quit if l never finish
it" Poor boy, he little knew that he
never would finish it. = Enclosed
you Will find the letter which he had
commenced.
Believe me, Mr.. Bangs, you have the
heartfelt sympathy of the whole com
pany. Remember me to your family
Yours truly, GEO. L. LANG.

THE INsTITUTE.-This institution
closed its labors on Saturday evening
last, TIE whole week having been de-
voted to its exercises, aiding in intel
lectual advancement and the further
preparation of teachers in the discharge
Of their responsible duties.
The Institute, through its course, was
decided success. The attendance Of
young ladies and gentlemen was good,
denoting healthy interest in the cause
Of education. We were pleased to OBJ
serve that our citizens took much more
interest in the proceedings than they
have been wont to 90. The lectures,
one being delivered each evening, were
highly instructive and entertaining and
were listened to by crowded houses
DR.. &. t. Witter, our energetic Coun-
ty Superintendent, delivered the clos
ING lecture to the teachers on Monday
evening after the examination, AMI al
though not allowed to attend owing to
pressing engagements, we are informed
that his remarks were opportune and 20
the point. The number Of certificates
granted, we learn, is greater than last
year. The interest taken in sustaining
oar present system Of free public
schools is certainly commendable, and
it is to be hoped that another year will
tend to increase and not diminish the
fast growing interest in that which
tends to cnlighten and elevate.
The examination of teachers for the
western portion Of the county will take
place at Baskerville the present week.
