US has originated an organization in this part Of
the county, known as the Ossipee River Teach
er's Association, which convened at South Par
sonsfield the 6th inst. and continued in session
three consecutive days This association was
organized Al the Institute held at Limerick q few
weeks since. and Prof. NJ. X. slabry was chosen
President OF the same; Consequently II devolved
mon him % conduct tho exercises ON this occa-
sion. which he did with marked ability. snd,to
the satisfaction Of every one present, judging
from the feeling manifested toward him through
out the whole proceeding. Prot. Mabry eyinces
not only a refined taste, superior native talent,
and large acquirements, but Is also endowed
with an abundant share of that commodity so
scarce among teachers Of the present day, viz:
practical common sense. This article he uscl
with eminent success, rs many there present
will readily testify. He Impressed this fact
from the beginning, that every science must be
made practical, IL We would avail ourselves OF
its utmost usefulness, and exploded the seeming
ly acknowledged idea that "theory makes fat,
while practice makes lean" His labors were
arCluous, having no help from abroad; but like
good general. he quickly organized on excel

exercise in grammar, demonstrated very clearly
the advantage Of system in arriving at definite
results. Also the exercise on ..Analysis of

Interesting. AMI exhibited much research. as
well as showing TO ms that our language Is not q

contrary, that almost every word and every syl-
liable has a distinct meaning Of itself when sep
