The Teachers Institute was a complete
success. The attendance was larger than
that of any proceeding Institute. All the
teachers in the county, excepting two, at
ten1ed. The lectures OF professors ani
teachers, from abroad aud from our own re-
| spective districts, We're above the average,
and the people were highly entertained, and
those of the Spectators who gave earnest
! attention were profitted by what they heard.
Miss Sanford, Prof. Beard, Prof. Angel,
Rev. Mr. SwsrtE, Mr.. McColiin-the blind
man-Prof. Schuyler, and Prof Wright,
will long be remembered for the part they
took in the Institute.
An exchange says: Those who spurn the
idea Of sowing rice along the tributaries
and sources of the Susquehanna TO prevent
! fishing with seines, and 80 allow the more
rapid propagation of fish and 70 attract
ducks and geese, overlook in their opposi-
tion wcii-kno~n facts. They oppose the
endessor because they assert that It could
not succeed. If so, they may still yIGdi-
cate their wisdom by tolcrating an inexp-n-
s,vc experiment. But it is fact th It in the
two centuries since rice was first planted in
this country il mas been carried along all the
sources Of the Missouri and Arkansas, and
IS found far up in the shallow waters that
feed the Mississippi. II a,urishes in great
tracts Of Marshy lsnd, and is often referred
10 in the rel OTIS OF Hunters aud travellers,
snd in regions considerably north of this.
Tins wild rice, as it is terned, is a princi-
Pal food OF water fowl in many Gulf States,
and Is found 10 the mountains and beyond
with little care in the beginning, the crop
might soon b. made eqaal TO the purpose
c..ien',iAtei. The difficulty would b. that,
while the ''volunteer" crop of southera aad
wesiera States i, seif-prsp,gat-i AMI -x-
tend by birds, the Penasy lvania rise fields
would need TO be planted anew. That tri-
ding cost would be returned in the increase
Of wild fowls and of fish.
