Fire in Eaton--Neal's Corner De-
stroyed.

About twenty minutes past u o.
clock on Monday night last, the citi-
zens of Eaton were aroused by the
alarm of fire, which seemed to come
from the southwest corner of Main
and Cherry streets, occupied by build
ings generally known as "Neal's Cor
ner," and owned by MI. JouN NEAL,
of this place. These consisted of a
two-story brick and a one and a half
story frame. South of these build
ings we're two large frame stables,
one of which MI. Neal used himself
for his stock, and the other is used
by Mr.. LooTs JOHNSON as a Livery
Stable. The first story of the brick
was occupied by JONES s. Bro, as a
grocery-thc second a pump shop.
The frame consisted of two rooms
in one of which was a barber shop
and the other the saloon of WARREN
JEFFERSON. In the rear of the gro-
Gerry was q frame structure, into
which the barrels, boxes, &C., gener-
ally Accomplishing around agrocery,
were slowed, and in this is where the
fire originated, whether by the torch
of the incendiary or otherwise, is not
definitely known, although the pro-
prietors claim it to have been set on
fire. Be this as it may, before the
Engine was on the ground and ready
to do work, the buildings and stable
used by MI. Neal were beyond hu-
MAI power to save and are a total
loss, together with the entire stock OF
groceries ofJones & Bro, and some
belonging to Mr.. jefferson. The sta
Bile occupied by Mr.. johnson was
saved. The loss of Mr.. Neal can
hardly be estimated, but reckoning it
from the income of the buildings, it
may be set down at about 5000, upon
which there was no insurance, except
$500 on the stabling. The loss of
Jones & Bro. in stock is about $500,
on which there is $500 insurance.
Mr.. Jefferson's loss is light, and fully
covered by insurance.
The flames spread rapidly and the
fire was soon over, and although the
Engine was slow in getting to work
it done good service in saving and
protecting "Commercial Block"

Prot. ELLIS, Of Hamilton, delivered a

lecture, and on Friday morning L.. G.
ABBOTT, Esq, of Eaton, by invitation
delivered a highly finished lecture,
glowing with well chosen rhetoric to
the delight of his hearers. In the af-
ternoon at 8 o'clock, Prof. FORBES, of
Cleveland, delivered the closing lee
ture, which is highly spoken of for its
thorough thought and practical de-
tails, on education. The lecture of
Mr.. ABBOTT, we hear spoken of by
competent judges, as one of the most
finished specimens of rhetoric, both
as the matter and manner of delivery,
ever delivered before the Institute.
After the election of officers the In
s%titute, amid many kind greetings,
adjourned for another year, greatly
benefited by the session.

for the ensuing year: President, Mr..

The worms have blasted the sour

The wife of Mr.. Ephraim Young,
in breaking some eggs for table use,
found within a thin shell the white
of an egg, another small darkish egg
about the size OF a pigeon egg, nearly
round. The outer shell of the large
egg is very thin and transparantly
white. An egg within another is a
natural phenomenon, and perhaps
this is the first instance of the kind
on record. The laws of nature are
generally UNIFORM, but now and then
exceptions occur, whichare well wor-
thy of tho consideration of scientific
explanation. 1t may have been an
effort at a double conception, which
sometimes occurs in mammals and 9TH
er higher types of animated existen-
ces. Who a tell?
Early in the morning of Friday,
August Is, the planet Venus will ap-
proach very nearly to a star of the
fourth magnitude, known as Lambda,
in Gemini-the least apparent dis
lance of centers being less than one
twentieth part the diameter ofthe full
moon. At that time the planet will
be a morning star, rising before the
sun, and sufficiently elongated from
him to permit the phenomenon to be
watched closely, though the time (be-
fore 4 o'clock) will be inconvenient
for a popular exhibition. But the
event will be one of no little interest
to the astronomer. The distance of
Venus from the earth being only a.
bout forty and a quarter millions of
miles, the phenomenon offers an OPP
portunity for obtaining a knowledge
other parallax, and hence that of the
sun, scarcely inferior in importance to
that afforded by the transit of the
planet across the solar disk nineteen
months ago.

The Normal Institute.

The Normal Institute which closed
on last Friday deserves notice. 1t is
a cheering sign when so large a body
of our teachers will, in these hard
times come to our town, and spend a
week for self-improyement. 1t was
one of the most enthusiastic and sue
cessful Institutes ever held in our
county, and the work done there will
have an excellent influence in the fu-
ture. Mr.. FORBES, a thorough edu-
Gator, was here, having now for four
years c~onsecutively been called to the
work by the teachers of u county,
which fact is a higher compliment to
his superior qualities and skill as an
educator, than anything we could
write. Mr.. SHEPHERD had q hard
weeks work as chief of the executive
committee. Upon him was thrown
its labor, and he may well c0ngratu-
late himself upon his success. There
is a growing public interest in this
Institute work, and the people will
become more and more interested in
it, and more and more impressed with
its value as time rolls on. Teaching
is fast becoming as it should be, a
profession, a learned profession. The
faithful, efficient teacher is o great
public benefactor, and the press of our
land should always throw the weight
of its influence in favor of thorough
education ofthe masses. We will not
enter into detail concerning the train.
ing received there. 1t is normal in
its character, thorough in detail. We
have spoken of the excellent teachers
which were a feature of the work
The teachers were unfortunate in thu
