Many friends will be panied to learn CT the
death of Reuben Priest at his home in Vas
salboro on Saturday last. The funeral took
place at the house on Monday. A large num-
Der of relatives and sympathetic friends were
present. The father of the deceased was
among the early settlers Of what is now known
as Priest Hill, having moved to that place
one hundred years ago. The vitality of the
aged man was most remarkable, unable as he
was to take any nourishment whatever for
twenty eight days preceding his death, owing
to paraly sis of the throat. The age OF the
deceased was ninety years and eleven months
The fire which occurred at vassalboro' sta
ton some time since has been eflectual in
producing quite a change in the appearance
of things. The old passenger depot on the
east side of the railroad is now used as a
freight depot, while neat and comfortable
building on the west side serves as a passen-
ger station. Mr.. Crumuett who lost his house
has been furnished by the M. c. r. r., with
lumber sufficient for new one and is now
erecting it on the old lot. DR.. c. b. Gates,

Teachers Institute.

SECOND DAY.
After the devotional exercises Of the mora
ing at the institute in this city, DR.. French
took up the subject of the mental powers
He drew ont very full analysis OF these
powers, indicating the order of their develop
ment in the chiid's mind, and showing hcw a
knowledge of these facts ought to govern the
teacher in his work. Teachers should thor
oughly understand the science of mental ply
losophy, and this before entering upon their
work. The human mind is q thing not to be
trifled with by those ignorant of its nature.
AS the second exercise of the forenoon,
Professor Luce gave lesson on drawing
Teachers should always be able to give rea-
son for the faith that is in them. Therefore,
since they are to be pioneers in the work of
putting drawing into our educational system,
hence they should unders tand the purposes to
be subserved by this branch. The objects for
which it is to be taught are two-fold. 1t has
practical utility in training the hand and
eye, in developing the idea of beauty and
symmetry in form and training all tn e powers
that enter into skillful handicraft. 1t has an
educational value if properly taught, in de-
veloping the faculties of observation, the i'm
agination, the power of attention, in training
to deiniteness of expression and in educating
the love OF the Deautlful IN nature ana art
that is in us all. But in order to accomplish
this, it must be taught not as mere copying,
but as the result of knowledge and thought
The third was lesson on writing by DR..
French. Three rules were given by which
the height, slant and spacins of letters in
words must be governed. These rules should
form standard by which all the work done
should be judged and criticised.
- In the afternoon for the frat hour, DR..
French resumed the subject of the mental
pow ers, and discussed more fully the force
they should exert in governing the instruction
given the pupils of different ages. :
After a short recess a drill exercise in
drawing was had. The application shown by
the members of the Institute in the work re-
quired of them in this exercise, indicated the
great interest in the subject already awakened
The exercises were supplemented by sugges-
tons as to methods of teaching the subject.
The closing exercise was a lesson on teach
ing reading, by DIR. French. He gave a large
amount of instruction as to methods to be
employed in making good readers, Training
of the voice, correcting bad habits, observing
pauses, training to natural expression, Sc,
were among the points included in the lesson.
