PARIS Oct 16.-Contrary to the expeeta-
tiOns OF the croakers, the elections passed
of, amid, profound and almost painful calm.
All day Sunday and Monday the greatest in
terest was manifested in the successive buile-
tins of the result Two hundred and sixty
seven is the number Of votes necessary for q
majority, and as the Republicans were known
early on yesterday to have passed that figure
the great inquiry was as to how much the
Republican majority had been reduced.
At midnight the returns showed 325 Repub-
Leans and 19f Conservatives, and that In at
least twelve cases second ballot will be re-
uuired. This shows O net Republican loss Of
thirty--eight seats, supposing that the Con-
servatives gain all the contested seats. which
Is far from being certain. 1t would. however,
leave the Republican majority over 100.
There have been many unlocked for changes
the Conservatives losing about twenty seats
to about sixty lost by the Republicans, but
all the Republican leaders are reelected. It
will be solne. days before the figures con be
Strengthened out Perfect tranquility pre-
vailed, The evening papers pointed out that
both the opposition and the government we're
disappointed. The former hoped to return
400 Deputies, while the latter reckoned ON
gaining loo seats. The Messenger de Rris
says the government hes gained forty seats
and may obtain ten more.
The Result Unsatisfactory.

but some of their leaders, such as Hue de
Mochey, M. Cheverie and NJ. Raoul Duval,

bury of the Eastern and Western Normal schools
The Supt. spoke briefly upon the present condition
of OUT school work. the duties of teachers age
and committees. Mr.. Fletcher spoke upon the
subject Methods OF Instruction" basing his views
upon the nature Of the cnild's mind, the order of
development, and the practical value of knowl-
edge. The results OF experimental teaching have
furnished the materials for u foundation upon
which 10 build scientific education. Teachers
mus, he students of nature and mind, must form
associations and compare views.
Mr.. Woodbury. followed upon the subject "Pfi-
mary Arithmetic Urging the use of objects be-
tore figures IN teaching the fundamental rules.
TO many rules are learned, and too few practical
problems are solved. The concrete before the
abstract.
The afternoon session was devoted 10 the discus
sion Of the subjects, Examination OF Teacasrs"
and How to secure larger ATTENDANCE OF pupils
IN our schools. Prof. Lyiord, Dr. She ldon and Mr..

Mr.. John b. Dyer, at his grocery and provision
store on Cushnoc Heights has no competition in
his immediate vicinity. which is of the best
compliments he could receive, showing that the
people are entirely satisfied with his treatment of
them, and the prices which rule at his establish
ment. He keeps on hand q large stock and is
selling at astonishingly low prices, and there is
no wonder that he has a large trade and the con-
fdenee Of the community. A comparison of the
prices asked for goods his store with those that
ruled year ago, will convince any one that
family can be supported at about one half the
expense than twslvemonth since.
1t is most gratifying to notice the steady growth
of the village on Cushnoc Heights, which is grad
ually pushing itself out into the country, and soon
will absorb into building lots the broad acres of
the farms adjoining. This will certainly result
should an addition be made to the manufacturing
establishments at the dam. New dwelling houses
have been built, and others repaired and put in
order, some receiving very thorough repairs. An
active and energetic class of citizens resides on
the heights and certainly they could not have
chosen more healthful and delightful location
far preferable in many respects to other and more
thickly populated portions of the city. Even GU,
citizens are not all aware of the beauty of stua.
ton and the general growth and prosperity of that
interesting portion Of our city.
