A MODEL ACcIDENr.-As Judge A.
ID. Hayward was returning from Yer
genncs in his carriage with his family.
one dark night last week. little south
of Esquire Clark's corner he drove in
10 deep ditch by the roadside and
was capsizcd. The horses remained
quiet in the track, but the carriage and
all on board were overturned With
him were his wife and daughter and
two little boys. Very quietly they I'M
loaded themselves, and Mrs. HAYWARD,
leaving the debris, went in pursuit of a
light, which being procured with the
needed help TO rescue the carriage. they
were soon ready TO resume their Jour
ney. Our correspondent highly COM
mends the GOODNESS and presence of
mind displayed by the ladies who cx-
pcricnccd the overturn.
In 1876, an article appeared in the
Register, stating that flocks of black
birds had been seen mile long.
Some one else protested that it was in
credible. We were inclined TO be
more crcdulous, but could not measure
the fiocks that had gone by. On the
18th of October, this year, we were
curious TO observe more particularly OH
seeing flock arise from Leonard
Wright's woods, in Weybridge, which
formed column about two rods deep
and wide that extended to the Spring
Grove camp ground. And still they
came, but our position, even with a
good field glass, was not favorable to
mark its great extent. There were,
| estimated, more than three hundred
in every section of the column Of one
foot of the length, and the column must
have been full three miles long.

December, but they uniformly died the

TEACHERS INsTrruTE.-Thc Teach
crs' Institute for Addison county for
the present school year commenced its
session in Whiting, Oct. Is, and con-
tinued three days. Though the law au-
thorizcs the state superintendent to hold
three day sessions, he has not until this
year had sessions of more than two
days; and even this season, some of the
Institutes have been in session only two
days. IL has been an experiment on his
part, TO see if the teachers and the pub
lie would manifest sufficient interest to
justify him in holding them for three
days. The result in this county has
been very gratifying TO him. State
Superintendent Conant had as assist
ants i'll conducting this institute, be-
sides Mrs. Kyle, who has been an as
sistant in the work of the institute for

of talent, the exercises could not fail of
being not only interesting but profita-
bic. All matters pertaining to the dis
irict school were ably discussed, the
best methods suggested, and faults
pointed out. 1t is matter of surprise
that more teachers do not avail them

institutes offer. and that '.without
