ADDRESS OF WELCOME TO THE
TEACHERS OF JUNIATA COUNTY.

TEACHERS AND FRIENDS OF EDU-
CATIoN.-It is no new thing for you
thus to assemble in this county for
mutual improvement.
The first County Teachers Associa-
ton was organized in this place De-
cember Sth, 1854, seventeen years
ago. That great changes have taken
place in this brief space of time all
will readily admit who were then far
milar with the educational machine
ry of the county, and now. | was not
in the county at the time and conse-
quently had not the pleasure of being
present at this your first meeting of
the kind, but have been informed by
teachers who were present that the at
tendance of both teachers and the
friends of education was quite small.
The Association thus organized con-
tinued to meet annually under the
title of the Teachers Association of
Juniata county, until December 9th,
1867, when it became necessary in ac-
cordance with an Act of Assembly
passed April 9th, 1867, to change its
name to that of Juniata County
Teachers Institute; this is now its
fifth annual meeting under its new or
legal title.
Here permit me once more and for
the last time as your presiding officer
to congratulate you and bid you vel
come to your county seat, and l do
hope and trust that this meeting will
be the most interesting and profitable
one we have ever held. 1t is truly
gratifying thus to meet so many of
you here assembled at so early stage
in the proceedings of your Institute,
it bespeakes zeal and enthusiasm in
your work, that shall be hereafter
among the most lasting and warmly
cherished "reminiscences of the past,
your assembling here to-day, teachers
has for its object laudable and wor-
thy motive. Your thus coming to-
gether is for the interchange of thought
and mutual Improvement in the art
of teaching, that you may be the bet
ter able to impart instruction to those
young and trusting minds committed
to your care Many of you have had
much experience in the business of
imparting instruction and in the man.
agement of schools, and we hope that
such of you will not hesitate to come
forward and share your knowledge and
experience with those who have had
fewer advantages and less experience
in the business while you thus i'm
part to others you wiitaet in the least
impoverish yourselves, but on the con-
trary you will enlarge your own
spheres of knowledge and useful
ness.
A retrospect of the educational
events of the county for the last few
years has afforded to me much salts
faction and l trust it will not, at this
time, prove entirely uninteresting to
many Of you, or at least those of you
who have been in the yearly habit of
thus assembling together for mutual
aid and counsel IN the great work of
instruction. .s. ..
The Association that convened at
Mifflintown, December 21st 1864, un-
der the superintendent of my prede-
cesssor, Mr.. H. B. Zimmerman, was
said at that time to have been the
largest collection of teachers that had
ever assembled at one time in the
county. The record of that meeting
shows thirtv-seven teachers to have

THE FIRE BY THE SEA.

By ALICE CARY. . .rr'-
There we're seven fishers with nets in their
hands,
And they walked and they talked by the sea-
SIDE sands; ..... -.--
Yet sweet as the dew-fsll .... .
The words they spake, though they spake so
low,
Across the long, dim centuries flow,
And we know them one and all
Aye. know them and love them all.
Seven sad men in the days Of old,
And one was gentle and one was bold,
And they walked with downcast eyes:
The bold was Peter, the gentle was John,
And they all were sad, for the Lord was gone,
And they knew not if he would rise.
Knew not if the dead would rise.
The live-long night till the moon went out,
In the drowning waters they beat sbout;
Beat slow through the fog their way;
And the sails dropped down with ringing wet,
And no man drew but an empty net.
And now, twas the break Of the day
The great glad break Of the day.
Cast your nets on the other side
CTwas Jesus speaking across the tide) -
And they cast skeir nets, and were drag
ging hard;
But that disciple whom Jesus loved,
Cried s,raghtway out for his heart was moved:
i" 1t is our risen Lord .. ...
Our Master, and our Lord"
Then Simon. girdling his fishers coat,
Went over the nets and out Of the boat
Aye. first of them all was he;
Repenting sore the denial past.
He feared no longer his soul to cast
Like an anchor into the sea
Down deep in the hungry ses.
'Tis long, and long, and long ago.
Since the rosy lights began to Aow
Ger the hills of Galilee;
And with eager eyes and lifted hands
The seven fishers saw ON the sands
The FIRE of Goals by the sea
On :Ee wet, wild sands by the sea
'Tis long ago, yet faith in our souls
Is kindled just by that fire of coal,
Th.t streamed O er the mists OF the sea;
Where Peter. girdling his fishers coat,
Went over the net and out of the boat,
To answer, '.Lov st thou me ?"
Thrice over, "Lov'st thou me ~

WHEREAS: Almighty God in his
infinite wisdom has seen fit TO remove
from our ranks a faithful and esteem
ed teacher, whose entire devotion TO
the cause in which he embarked his
many high and noble qualities, as Il
man and instructor, has endeared him
to the memory of all with whom he
associated. Therefore
Resolced, That while we humbly
submit to the will of him who or
dereth all things well, we deplore his
loss from among us and would com-
mend his ardent zeal and untiring
energy to all members of the profee--
sion as an example worthy of imita-

THE SPIRITS.

ReapPearnnce of those Called
SThe Dead."

An old and w~eIl-known citizen of Memphi!
writes as follows from Moravta, New 1ork
the great focal center of modern s~pIrltualism
Our correspondent says:
About nfty ladies and gentlemen had a sit
ting in a well-lighted room. I first saw severa
spirit hands and faces, and heard a very inter
esting lecture from an aged spirit, who die
not give his name, nor do know that he wa,
recognized by any one present. a gent ana
his wife arrived there, who would not tell hi
name, where he was rom, or what ms Dusl'
ness was. He was an unbeliever, and said he
was determined to use every precaut1on
against deception. The next sitting a young
spirit presented himself, who appeared to be
about twenty-five years old. AS soon as he
appeared fully TO our view, the old gent said
"That is my son. Can you give us your anne 2
Milton Pope Nov" The father said, u
know OF a truth that If n man dies he shall
live again." Isaid, "Milton, you are more

After the old gentleman became thoroughly
convinced OF the truths Of s~piritualism, he
Informed me that he was a clergyman from
Massachusetts, and hat his church member
sent him there: told him IL he would go there
with his wife and investigate thoroughly, and
when he retuFned state in public what he saw
and heard, they would pay his expenses, etc.
The gentleman and his wife were highly edu-
Gated, refined and s-trong-minded people. A
very intelligent gentleman came there from
New Orleans, who informed me when he ar
rived there he was a confirmed atheist, but he
said, When saw a number of my friends
there whom 1 fully recognized, knowing them
TO be dead, / was compelled 70 give up all my
-precOnceiVed opinions, and now / am fully
convinced that after death there is another
and better life"

of alderman Dupont, Presi
dent GT Lhe ElizabethtOWn
Railroad.

Under the head Of IAN Important Railway
the following: "At a meeting of the Directors
OF the Elizabethtown and Paducah railway
Yesterday, MIR. Biderman DUPONT, of this city,
was elected President, rice Mr.. James Trabue
resigned. Mr.. DUPONT is also the President Of
the Louisville, Memphis and New Orleans
railroad, and the result of yesterdays election
means the consolidation OF these two roads
and completion at no distant day, OF a new
through line from Louisville TO the South.
The action on the part of the Elizabethtown
and Paducah railroad Directors has been
taken after several weeks of grave and earn
est elaboration, and will prove one Of the
most important events in the railroad history
of the city and State. The consolidation of
the roads, with all their resources and
influence, hitherto antagOnistic; the Sc
lection Of Mr.. DUPONT, one of the best
and most successful hnaneiers in the West;
and the long felt and urgent need OF this
other route, Will give to us, almost beyond
doubt, q new Southern outlet which viii
prove one of the most important railroads in
great necessity for another line, and will re-
ceive the cordial Endorsement of our mer-
chants. 1t VIII receive the no less substantial
support Of those counties to be benefited by
the construction Of the road, several OF which
have already given such assurance to the
Memphis and New Orleans road, as first pro-
jected. The success of the new project IL,
therefore, already more than half achieved,
and the active efforts of Mr.. Du Pont will &C
complish the rest. The result of yesterday is
auspicious for the city. 1t is the first substan-
tiaI step toward another Southern line, which
has promised early and successful fulhllment.
