Teachers, Institute.

The Wayne County Normal Insti-
tute devoted to the interest of teachers,
is now in Session, having commenced
Oh Tuesday, and will continue six weeks.
The arrangements are such as to make
it profitable to all. Something of this
kind is needed in every county, as it is
one OF the best methods of improving
our teachers and elevating the standard
of educationa Regular and systematic
instruction will be given in the best
method of teaching, school government,
&c, by those whose business has been
for many years to study these subjects
and to direct the labors of their assist
ant teachers. We have no doubt but
that this Institute will be conducive of
great good. -. a~-s ?
We believe that the teachers of our
own county are soon to hold an Insti-
tute for few days. We hope that ev-
cry teacher in the county will see to it
that he or she be in attendance upon it,
and endeavor to make it pleasant and
profitable. ~

EDS. REPUBLICAN: Time affords me
the opportunity Of writing inregard to
our town and community. Owing to
the extreme dry weather the crops are
backward, but the recent rains have re-
vived them and the prospects are good
for satisfactorily aturn off," The health
is good-ratber discouraging to the
physicians. There are still improve
ments going Oh in town. The house of
Mr.. Geo. COrrell ON Monroe street, i'm
construction, will be quite an ornament
TO that part of the town. Several other
houses will be commenced soon. The
wool trade is being extensively carried
Oh by Messrs. Sullivan & Brown. Busi-
ness in general is good. The lightning
rod business is made specially. The
dry weather and numerous lightning
rod men have been the most contentious
things We have had, but we encourage
the latter invention.
With reference to political affairs, lit
tie is being said. The republicans are
going for Grant. The Liberals for
Greeley and the Democrats would rath-
er have gone to the recent convention
as delegates" 1t is bilious time when
a man can't or even wont do as his
heart desires. But time will settle all
things either for the better or worse.

A Bad Practice.

An exchange says: "If, instead OF
the closing anthem, some of our minis
tiers should, at the close of the service.
give the orders: "Attention worship
ers! For hats, dive. jerk, plunge
Make yourselves ridiculous, ALI" the
effect would hardly be variation from
the present style of getting ready to go
out of church. The singing of the dox-
ology seems to be signal for the gen.
eral adjustment, and when the benedic-
ton is about to be pronounced the
ruffied congregation look more like
jumping out of the windows, or uniting
in crushing and erowding race for the
doors than listening to the solemn words
of the good pastor. Why do not peo-
pie wait until the proper time to do
these things? There is time for every
thing, but that time does not always oc-
cur during church services" ess. 9

3" A nibbler is man who enters a
grocery store, runs his finger into every
sugar barrel and laps up couple OF
ounces; takes nibble at the back of a
herring; eats handful of nuts; then
goes to the cheese and cuts off slice
just to taste; then, as matterof course,
must have few crackers, and perhaps
before he has made up his mind to pur-
cnase quarter of pound OF tea, he
has eaten up the profits on 50 worth of
groceries. To wind it all up, after get
ting trusted for his tea, on which the
merchant realizes profit of five cents,
he leaves the store munching couple
OF apples. This is no picture of the
Imagination, but a reality, except that
at sometimes the nibbler does not pur
chase quarter of a pound of tea.''

| What Paris is to the FreDchman, OF
London to the Briton, New York is to
the American. 1t is not only the Met
ropolis, but it is the chief attraction
upon this continent, the great centre to
which men and women resort for both
business and pleasure, and as such is a
source of never-failing interest. OF
late years several attempts have been
made to reproduce its varied attractions
in book form. The most successful re-
suit of these efforts is the book now be-
fore us. The author has had unusual
facilities to see every feature of the
great city, and has written the work
with an enthusiasm which is apparent
in every page. He has not merely pro-
duced a sensational story, but has given
us record of actual facts, of which he
| is personally cognizant.
The book is as fascinating and absorb
ing as a novel. and were it not for the
evidence he furnishes, we should be
tempeted to believe that he has carried
US into the realm of fiction. He tells
us the history Of the great city which
has grown to be the most remarkable
in America, ,and relates its old traditions
with zest and humor. He introduces
us to all classes of people, and initiates
us into their ways and manner of life.
He brings face to face with great mer-
chants and bankers, actors, editors,
working women, ballet girls, thieves,
gamblers, sailors, quacks, firemen, and 4
host of others. He delights us with his
sketches of the better and brighter side
of city life, of the genius, enterprise.
charity aud humanity of the great city,
and appals us with his thrilling accounts
of the darker and more terrible side of
the life he is delineating.

his book large sale. 1t is brim full
Of useful information, brilliant and fas-
cinating, and an emphatic warning
against the vices of the city. 1t is pure
and lofty in tone, and while it discusses
fully many of the darker sides of the

candor. An interesting feature of the
book is powerful written history of

lee Cream.

Geo. Schnorr has the reputation of
making the best ice cream in town, and
gives more for the money than any
other dealer. We have often wondered
how he could do this. The mystery has
been solved by knowing that he keeps
his own cows, has his own pasture, and
consequently has his own cream. We
think that the reputation of making
such good ice-cream really belongs to
Mrs. Sehnorr instead of George. Par
ties can be served at any time. Faag

To the Girls.

We have lately seen it stated that in
one town, four girls were married at
the same hour, about eighteen months
ago. Two of them have separated from
their husbands, and the other two are
trying for divorces. Such thingsought
to wake up the girls to sense of their
danger. Girls talk and laugh about
marriage as though it was jubilee, a
jolly gladstone thing, rose without a
thorn. And so it is, if it is all right, If
they go about it like rational beings, in
stead of mery-making children. 1t is
life business and that of heart and
happiness. Therefore, never do it in
haste, never run away to get married !;
never steal marriage; never marry
for wealth, or standing, or fine person,
or manners, but only for character, for
worth, for the qualities of mind and
heart, which make an honorable man.
Take time, think long and well, before
you accept any proposal, consult your
parents, then some judicious friend,
then your own judgment. Learn all it
is possible for you to learn of your
proposed husband; when all doubts are
removed, and not till then, accept him.

About to Strike Oil.

An oil company has been formed in
Wooster and vicinity for the purpose OF
boring for oil on Killbuck three miles
above Wooster at the place known as
the 'tSalt Works. Long ago, perhaps
forty or fifty years ago-we don't re-
member the exact time-a company
bored for salt at that place, and struck
into a vein of something that spouted
up to the height of one hundred feet,
caught fire and burned tor some
time, until it was extinguished. From
what can be learned of this, it is sup
posed that vein Of oil had been struck.
The salt works did not pay, although
there was some salt made. 1t is the
opinion of all who have examined the
grounds, and know of the former cir
cumstance, that there is oil to be had.
The machinery of the Company has ar
rived in Wooster, and awaits transpor-
tation to the banks of Killbuck to give
the appearance of petroleum camp.
We await developments anxiously, as
there is spot of land just mile from
the old well, similarly situated, in which
we are interested, and which NAV, for
all we know, be Glowing with coal and
oil.r
