July 5, 1873.
The undersigned committee in atten>
dance upon the examination and closing
exercises Of the Masonic Institute, Tay>
louisville, Tenn. taught by Professors Jas.
Keys and T. w. Hughes, feel it to be a
duty and privilege to express to the pub
lie the impressions they received from
these exercises, and to call the attention
Of those interested in education to the
merits Of this school.
The examination occupied three days,
(July I'd, Sd, and 4th,) and was as tho,
rough as the time would permit. Both
the Committee and the numerous specta-
tors were satisfied that the pupils had
been thoroughly and %skillfully instructed
in the several branches Of primary aud
Academic study, considering the fact the
school has only been in operation 6vo
months.
The progress Of the pupils and their un,
~derstanding Of the branches studied wa,
highly satisfactory and gratifying. The
declarations, competitions, original
speeches and public debate did great
credit to the pupils AMI all concerned.
Rev. A. L, Hosshead, Superintendent
of Public Schools, Washington county,
Virginia, delivered the address before
the Literary Society Of the school. His
speech was a master piece Of beautiful
thought, clothed in choice language, and
delivered in that happy, elegant style for
which he is justly famous.
The committee congratulate the citi-
zens of TaylorsSille and surrounding
country on having a school established in
their midst under such fatteriug auspices
and conducted by such able and thorough
educators, Nearly y hundred pupils
haze been in attendance,
The next session will open August 18th
in the new and elegant building erected
for the purpose.

ELEMENTARY BRANCHES.

Most teachers fail in the elementary
branches. 1t is no uncommon thing to
End teachers who claim to have a College
Education very deficient in the rudimeut
Of an education. The sounds of the letters.
the rules for spelling, punctuation, and
accentation have been too much over
looked.
The school law requires prof cicncies
in these branches. We as teachers must
rub up a little on the Title things of an
education.

OUR INLAND SEAS.

The size of our fresh water lakes is
as follows: Lake Superior-Length,
335 miles breadth, 160 miles mean
depth, 6SS feet; elevation, 627 feet; area,
42, 600 square miles. Lake Michigan
Length, 800 miles; greatest breadth,
$50 miles mean depth, 900 feet; eleva-
ton, 507 feet area, 23, 900 square miles.
Lake Huron - Length, 100 miles ;
breadth, i60 miles mean depth, 900

square miles. Lake Erie-Length, $50
miles; breadth, 80 miles; depth, "a
feet; elevation, 555 feet; area, 5000
square miles. 1t will thus be seen that
Superior is the largest, the most ele-
waited, and contains the largest area ;
that Michigan is the deepest and the
broadest; that Huron is the shortest
and has the lowest elevation that Erie
is the narrowest, the shallowest. and
contains the smallest area, and that Su.
perior and Huron are the same breadth.

A COMPOSITE CITY.

The census Of 1870 showsthat out of
an aggregate Of $50, $50 persons in New
York who are engaged in active bust
ness pursuits, 1872, 733 are Of native
birth, 1O6,362 are Irish, 7s, 41O are Ger
man, 1904 are English and Welsh,
1,5S4 are Scandinavians, 1,45O Italians,
and 81 Chinese. That is to say, q frac-
tion over one-third of the whole number
pursuing regular avocations are native
born, and not quite another third were
born in Ireland. The Germans engaged
in business number nearly one-fifth Of
the general aggregate, Or 7s, 40, falling
only about $4,000 below the number of
the Irish--a fact which will surprise
many persons who have failed to observe
the rapid increase of the German elc-
ment in New York during the past five
or six years. The proportion of native
Americans who follow different branches
of business in the city is singularly
small-a fact which proves the compos-
ite character of the population.

TREE.pL4yTJNG.

1t has been shown that tree planting,
as has long been supposed, Is neither
difficult nor expensive; that the re-
turns, if not immediate. are sure, and
the profits very great. Every one ought
to be convinced thst the time hos come
for us to plant forests. but, whether
the people are willing to plant them or
not, they should be made to do it. All
overseers of roads should be made at
once to plant trees along the highways
at the public expense. Railways also
should be compelled by law, not only to
fence, but plant trees along the whole
Of their lines, on either side OF the
track, and those van9at fathers who
have robbed their children OF the best
part of their heritage-the forests OF the
country-ought to be compelled by law
to restore it as far as possible, by plant
ing new forests to BE used for the wants
nd convenieneas Of men, if not in their
day, after they are dead and gone to

SERENADINa By. ToRCR6IGHT.


That was very unfortunate affair
that happened to young Millicent, of
tie band, Friday night. he had en-
gagged some Of his members to
join him in . serenade to an cstimable
young lady on Essex street, with whom
he is keeping company, and at midnight
the party repaired 10 her residence,
with their instruments and music, and
a boy to hold the torch. Everything
started off well, and the entertainment
promised to be as gratifying US the most
sanguine could have asked. During
the performances of the second piece, a
gem of Mozart's collection, the boy,
who was leaning against tree, was so
influenced by the harmony, and soothed
by the melody, that he unconsciously
dropped off into slumber, and mo-
ment later the torch suddenly swerved
and descended with its blaze of cam
phenc against the back of young Milli-
cents head, and in a moment ignited
the wnvy masses of his hair. The
others dropped their instruments and
smothered the flames in IN instant, but
it had done its work. His head was en-
tirely burned over, and he had to be
carried home, and the young lady was
made so sick by the fumes of burning
hair that she was obliged to keep her
bed all of the next day. 1t will be q
month or more before young Millicent
will be able to appear on the street,
which will give the torch-boy plenty Of
time to arrange his earthly affairs. =
