with the play and performers by loud and
continuous applause.
The next amusement at the Opera
House will be Mr.. s. &. France, in the
sensational drama of "Marked for Life, "
who appears next Wednesday and

which exciting incidents ana startling

of in the highest terms Of praise by the

HUMAN LoCoMoTIoN.-The move
ments executed by animals IN transport
ing themselves from place to place have
long engaged the attention of observers;
and as animals which travel on the land
are more easily got at than those which
frequent the sea and the air, it is the
! motions of such that We know most
about. Yet much remains to be learned
of the modes of even the most familiar of
these, and not little, probably, will have
to be unlearncd that recent invcstiga-
tions have shown to be erroneous.
At first sight the operations
of walking and running, as dis
played by both two-legged and four
legged creatures, may appear simple
enough, but all attempts to analyze and
explain them have shown that, in reality,
they are very complex, so that there has
arisen wide diversity otopinion concern
ing their real nature. These disagreements
among the Investigators ofthe subject can
only be accounted for on the principle Of
the insuficiency ofthe means at their com
mand for complete Investigations; and
the confusion has been further increased
by the difficulty of expressing in words
the rythm, duration and phases Of
the rapid and complex movements in
volved.

TEACHERS AssOCIATloN.-The Wheel
ing Teachers Association met in regular
session in Union School Hall, Saturday
at 10 o'clock, Superintendent Williams in
the chair. The opening exercises con-
sisted in roll call, reading Of minutes of
previous meeting and prayer. Singing
was dispensed with owing to the absence
of several members of the choir.
Principal Bundy conducted an exer-
else under the head of "class drill" Sub
ject-Orthography accompanied with
remarks upon the history of language.
Hieroglyphics constituted the only writ
ten language of the Ancients, and was
perhaps we'll enough adopted to their
habits of thought and expression. This
method would, however, be utterly in
adequate to the wants of the civilization
and enlightment of the present age.
The ALPHABET is supposed to have been
invented by the Phenicians, and was
originally phonetic in character.
The speaker dwelt at some length
upon the different methods Of teaching
photography and reading. He would,
in practice, combine the different meth
DDS to some extent. He was unqualified
in his denunciation of what he was dispos-
ed to term our present barbarious system
OF spelling, illustrating his positions by er-
amples showing the simplicity Of the
phonetic system as compared with the
current method of word-making.
Miss Phillips, Of the First Ward
School, entertained the Association with
select readings.
Miss MehOlin, Principal Of the Third
ward school, delivered an address upon
the character of Queen Isabella. Space
will not admit of even a synopsis of Miss
Meholin's remarks. There was sufficient
evidence, however, to show that the lady
las been not only student Of history,
but a careful observer Of human nature.
The lecture was delivered in her usual
easy and graceful style, and in a manner
to hold the attention of the fifty or more
teachers, who were her auditors, for
nearly an hour.
The question which had been chosen
for discussion on this occasion was, for
want of time, laid over till the next
meeting.
Prof. Schatfer was appointed as leader
of the Association choir, in place of Miss
Ella Dillon, who is not now resident OF
this city.
The chair gave notice Of the meeting
Of the Belmont county Teachers Insti-
tute, to be held in Bellaire during the
week of the holidays, to which the
Wheeling teachers are cordially invited.
The following was reported by Mr..
Williams as the programme for the next
regular meeting:
|. Glass Drill. Subject Arithmetical
Proportion, Mr.. Mertz of Eighth ward
school to conduct the exercise.
.. Readings by Misses Maggie Davies
and Ella NJ. Boyd.
