Of q peaceful character. Officers Of the

The Institute.

Contrary tn the precedent heretofore es
tablished in this county, the Teachers In
stitute held at the Court House the past
week. was We'll attended, 1t would be an
excellent plan for each School Board to
adopt not to employ any teacher who did
not attend the Institutes, provided It was
in their power to attend. Il Is q matter
of regret, but fact, that sonio Of the as.
pirants for teachers position, claim they
cannot spare the time. Whist an excuse,
not spare few days time for the benefit
OF yourself, and the very calling you pro.
fess to follow. Too many persons assume
the Teachers role. for the sole purpose of
replenishiug their purse, when they can.
not do AS we'll At something else, and not
with the ambition and pride of one who
desires not only recompense but to prove
. success as a teacher.
True all that are qualified can, nor do
not intend to follow teaching a. a profess
sion, only as means of livelihood At odd
intervals, but whoever teaches at all,
should, if possible. avail themselves of
every opportunity that promises to be ben.
eAolal, either in self culture or in any other
manner.
The Institute just closed, although not
intended as an exponent Of what is to fol-
low (it being the first that appeared to e.
cite any INTEREST," was certainly productive
Of good 1t WIS interesting, and must
have met the appreciation of all who were
connected with 1t. It afforded the oppor-
tunity ofmeetlng and forming an acqua,n.
lance with those who are members of the
same profession. An interchange Of ideas
BY persons of intelligence never fails to
impart what will be of some benefit to an-
other. The different methods of instruc-
tion, plans Of government t. and experiences
that always are of interest, will suggest to
others desirable points for consideration
Another effect, it tends to incite an
interest, and determination to ex.
eel. The teacher will not feel that he is
alone, and left to the caprice of his pat
rons for approval or dislike. Trains of
thought will be started that can be expert
mented upon by each one desiring to try !
new methods.
Superintendent Jacobs is entitled to
great credit for 1he effort made by him to
render the Institute an interesting and
profitable one; that lie succeeded wa think |
is the unanimous opinion Of al who we're
present.
The members also who rendered yal liable
assistance, merit an equal share of approx.
81 Of all interested In school matters, and
It is hoped that a Teachers Institute has
become fixed institution IN Lincoln

WHAT Is IT?
A Mysterious Apparation on the Track
ofthe Chicago & Lake Huron 1.R.

Battle Creek, Mich, April 22-Quite ,
sensation has been created on the Chlca
30 4 Lake Huron Railroad, near Olivet
in consequence of singular apparation
which has just made its appearance in
that vicinity. The following account Of
the mysterious pheomenon is given by u
reliable party: A spook came out Of a
wood pile few nights since and stopped
the eastwsrd.bo train. It is described
as human form robed in snowy white,
and appeared on the track few rods in
advance Of the engine The engineer
blew the whistle, but the mysterious form
refused to yield the track. The train was
stopped, and party went ahead TO recon.
noiter, when the strang parsonage retreat.
ed. and when they retreatcd would follow
them. To all questions that were asked it
gave no response. They ordered it off the
track, and it refused to bulge, when they
fred several bullets through its heart; but
instead Of crying out. it danced horn
pipe on the rails, and seemed to delight at
their discontinue. Finally the engineer
mounted the engine and pulled the throttle
and just as the exas2erated engine was
about to make mince-meat of the stranger
1t disappeared in the air. The news soon
spread In the vicinity, and the next night
farmers and trackmen went to the spot,
and behold! the strange figure confronted
them. They set dogs on 1t, who seemed
to be graphing with an object but no
blood was found. The men, armed to the
teeth, boldly went forward, but it retreat
ed and when they receded would follow to
q given point. A party outtlsnked it, and
came upon it in the rear, resolved to cap.
capture it and solve the mystery, but it
vanished heavenward. Not being satisfied,
a party went to the spot next day, when,
to their horror, an old man robed iu black
came out of the woodpile and took his
wonted position ON the track as if to dis
pute their passage, his long silvery locks
and snowy-white beard floating in the
breeze. To oil questions he made no re-
ply. The dogs were called into requisi-
ton against it, but to no avail. He car.
RED death. like smile throughout, and re.
treated at their advance rs before, and, on
being surrounded, again vanished heaven
ward. W. heard from the scene a couple
OF days ago, and the country thereabouts
is all excitement. The question is: Has
some old man been murdered and buried
there, and this his apparatlon! Certainly
it is not flesh. Scores Of visitors from
other counties have been there and took
and all have went away mys.
titled At las: accounts no light had
been obtained as TO the strange sppara-
tion.-Iater Ocean.
