The TEACHER, Institute.

The third week of the Institute has pass
ed and the teachers in attendance seem
better pleased the longer they stay. The
jefferson people, together with the officers
of the Institute, are doing all that lays in
their power to make this session eminent
" a success. They are acting upon the
suppOsition that the way Of knowledge
should be made pleasant even while We
are travelling it, and that there should be
some little incentive to hard study besides
the good time coming; therefore every
place of interest in the village has been
thrown open to the memb Of the Insti-
tute, and as a specimen Of how the teach
ers avail themselves Of this I will say that
.95 Of them visited the Jail at one time last
week. Tonight (MOnday) they viii visit
the lodge rooms Of the several secret so
cieties.
The lectures for this week are as follows:
Tuesday night, Prof. Barr, subject, ''EcliPs
es, Wednesday night, Prof. Tuttle, sub
jeet, Telephone"
The total enrolment up to this writing
is 1853, and with the exception Of q very
few who have been unavoidably called
away. they are all in attendance, and there
is good reason 10 believe that upon the
arrival Of the trains to-day the grand to-
tai will reach 200.
The County examination will commence
at 1 o'clock p, m. Thursday, and continue
the rest Of that day and all day Friday, l
am directed by the clerk Of the board Of
examiners to say that no person Will be
permitted TO enter for examination after
Thursday, as the Arithmetic lists will be
disposed Of on that day, and in no case
will applicants be supplies with Arlthme-
tic lists on Friday

SOUTHEAST ROME.

For the past few weeks of unprecedent
hot weather the labor of every able bodied
man and boy has been taxed to their
utmost capacity, in securing farm crops
which have proved fully satisfactory, and
have been secured in fine condition. A
second crop Of cloveris now being gathered
which is equal to the first crop. Corn
which got late start is now pushing fer
ward with a zeal that is almost certain to
give US a full crop. Potatoes a good crop.
Apples not as plenty as last year, yet are in
supply for all legitimate purposes. Grapes,
pears and peaches in fair supply, small
fruits in their season were abundant, and
satisfactory returns to the few who have in
vested capital in the growing Of those fruits.
The broad acres Of VIM. .Manley of New
Lyme and Falkner Of Colebrook. have
found ready sales as fast as matured, at
prices that was so satisfactory as 20 cause
them to largely extent their domains for
future operations. We can see no good
reason why the strawberry and raspberry
should not find a place in every garden.
We have brought them to high state of
perfection in our garden, and thiak they
amply pay for all the labor spent in their
cultivation. A few dozen Of the Doolittle
raspberries, with proper care give us a full
supply for family use.
The New Lyme seminary is now being
finished and furnished. They start out
with none but first class teachers, which
are now all engaged. School will COM
menee August 26. Everything is being
done that money and good taste can do to
make the building and its surroundings
both pleasant and interesting. The fine
grounds in front of the building will be
highly ornamenated with choice flowers,
shade trees and evergreeHs. The grounds
are backed with one Of the most beautiful
groves of sugar naples anywhere to be
found-making an extensive promenade
for both teachers and pupils. Itnow looks
as if the opening school would be we'll pat
ronized, not only from their own but from
adjoining towns. We think New Lyme
is largely indebted to the Rev. A. H.
Chase for the selection of teachers for this
the first school. Eleven years Of the
prime of Mr.. Chase's life has been closely
identified in the interest Of that people and
he seems to know just what they need to
sustain the high reputation to which they
have attained, and that largely through
his influence and teachings. For eleven
wears Mr.. Chase had charge Of the Free
will Baptist Church in this town, and had
the wishes Of the people have been grati-
fed be would still have been their pastor,
but there seemed to be a higher sphere
where his great talents could be made more
useful. Yet he has always seemed to re-
gard the people Of New Lyme as under his
care and seemed to take deep interest in
their welfare. B.

no other concern ever approached, and
this year he seems to have excelled even

immense outlay he made last winter for
additions to his mammoth show. To 40
cages and dens Of Rare Animals and Wild
Beasts Of almost every kind, he has added
Giraffs, an immense Rhineceros, Giant Os-

largest herd Of performing Elephants IN
the World, Asiatic and African Lions, 40
Ponies. go Ring Horses, and a little COM

of all that is beautiful, startling and IN;
structive. Every man woman and child

The deceased was SO years of age, unmar-

Court of Common Pleas. He was also
clerk of the village of Jefferson, and was
highly esteemed by large circle of ac-

candidate for the Office of Senator, opens
the way for aword of approval. Mr.. H.
has been one of the leading men of his
county, and enjoying in large measure
the respect and confidence of his fellow
citizens. He has represented that county
at different times in the General Assembly
and is fully cOnversant with the routine of
the business of that body and well fitted to
take the place for which his friends have
now named him. If nominated and an
election should follow, as would be expect
ed, there is no citizen of the district that
win more faithfully and ably discharge
the trust it will impose.
