The session OF the Ohio County Teach.
ers' Institute, held at this place, closed
yesterday. The exercises Of the day were
interesting as usual, perhaps moro so, as
besides the usual class drills, very inter.
esting and instructive lecture was given
by Prof. Hervey, on the art OF teaching
and school government. Short remarks
were made by others present lserious and
otherwisel and closed by singing some Of
the gospel hymns, in which all Joined
heartily. A decided interest was mani
tested by the teachers present throughout
the entire session. Many were sorry that
the session did not continue longer. Be-
sides the benefit 10 be derived from the
regular exercises OF the institute, the bene.
fits OF social intercourse with intelligent
men and women OF the same profession
were not small, and l presume many go
away cheered and strengthened to begin
the arduous labors OF another school year.
The thanks OF the teachers who were
present are certainly due to Prof. lIervey
for the ability and tact with which he con-
Quoted the exercises, as well as for the un-
the Professor 80 distinguished. The en-
ItS oulOlILlenL IOT tue WlOle LIule was
Iorty.two. The average daily attendance
between twenty-five and twenty.six.
Many Of our resident teachers were not
present, some unavoidably detained away,
| presume, and some, because there was
DO compulsion in the case, and because
they had not interest enough in their pro-
tession to attend voluntarily. The loss is
their own.
There is a good deal Of anxiety among
teachers, as to the probability Of obtaining
schools for the coming year. Petitions
are being circulated in different quarters,
by different teachers, or their friends. !
do not think these are safe guides, and
may not always express the real wish OF
the people. I Imagine the duty Of the diff.
fcrent Boards Of Education will be to
weigh well the qualifications and reputa.
tons Of the different applicants and do
what they believe for the best interests OF
the schools. In no case, when teacher
has labored faithfully and successfully,
should there be change made, unless
the former teacher is not an applicant.
But excuse me for running this letter TO
such length. Yours truly, NJ.

The Interchangeable Birds.

There Ia something almost panthelle
In the fact that birds remain forever
the same. You grow old your ir'ehd"
die or move to distant lands, events
sweep on, oil things are changed Yet
there In your galden or orchard are the
birds OF your boyhood, the same notes
tho same calls, and, to oil intents and
purposes, the samo indentlcal birds
endowed with perennial youth The
swallows, that built 40 f'r out OF your
reach beneath tho caves OF your
fathers barn, the same ones now
squeak and chatter beneath the ewes
OF your barn, The warbers and SHY
wood-birds you pursued with mch
glee ever so many Summers ago, and
whose name you taught to some be-
loved youth who now, perctance'
sleeps amid his native hills, no mark
of time or chongo clings to them
and when you walk out to the strange
woods, there they are, mockine yor
with their cvor-renewed and joyous
youth. The call Of the high'holcs
the whistle of the quail, the strong,
piercing notes Of tho medow''ark, the
drumming ofthc grouse--how these
sounds ignore the years, and strike on
the ear with the melody OF that Spring
time when the world was young, art
lite was all n holiday and romance. -

Crows AS WITNESSES. "A story is
told of certain German who. in his
travels, fell among thieves and they
being about to cut his throat, the
poor man esrcd flight OF crows, and
cried out, sob, crows! I take you for
my witnesses and avengers of my
death" About two or three days al
ter these thieves, drinking together at
an inn, a company of crows came and
alighted upon the top of the house.
At this the thieves began to laugh;
and said one of them: "Look, yonder,
are they who must avenge his death
whom we lately slew The tapster,
overhearing this, declared it to the mag
istraie, who caused them to be appre.
hended; and in consequence OF their
contradictory statements and evaslve
answers, urged them so far that they
confessed the truth, and received the'r
deserved punishment.

Too MucH Gossu.-Tbere is one
social dishonor about which no one
thinks 1T worth while to say much
in reprobation, but which does
more. harm than any other known 20
us-we mean the dishoner OF repeating
conversations, opinions. circumstances
not made under promise OF secrecy
but which high sense ofhonor would
treat confidential, if haply Il high sense
of honor were the rule. 1t is odd
that one of the best thingsa boy learns
at school Is to eschew tae-bearlng g
and keep faith with his companions,
while one of the most common prac-
tices of society is to betray the trust
contained in talk, and repeat to all
what has been told in implied conf
depce to one. This habit ofrepeating
what we hear is as fatal to the best
intercourse of minds as to the finer
feelings of society.
