county Teachers. Association.

Carroll County Teachers AsSocl"'ioh'
The Carroll County Teachers Association
assembled in Central Hall, Westminster, on
April -, 1881, Prof j. NJ. Newson IN the
chair. and George Batson secretary. After
usual preliminaries, the President called for
FIVE minute speeches and secured host OF
valuable remarks from various teachers. As
provided for by resolutions of our last meet
ing, Taneytown and Uniontowu districts fur
nished the bulk of the days exercises. The
essays, addresses and topical drill exercises
were very edityiug, revealing much care IN
their preparation. Mr.. Levi D. Reid, in his
able paper, "0ur Pebble Schools" opened
warm discussion upon the subject Local
Support for the Schools" Mr.. Reid evi-
DENLY solved the problem Of the hour when
he asserted that "rhe success of our public
schools depends wholly upon two agencies
LIST, good local support; and, I'd, good and
efficient teachers; the latter being the natural
result of the former. 1t is proverbial that
the public school system is most pre- en-
inently successful in those localities where
local support and appreciation are most
strongly manifested; where educational in.
interests are regarded as being most preg-
nant with the hopes of the future, and vice
and ignorance more expensive than knOwl-
edge and wisdom; and where it is fixed SEN
tment that ignorance is more productive OF
crime than enlightenment and that the polar
star of nations shines with equal lu.tre upoa
prince and peasant. The subject elected
much valuable talk, and in great measure
determined the character of the succeeding
! exercises.
Probably the most important action of the
afternoon session was the appointment of a
committee of five to draft Constitution and
Bylaws applicable to the present wants OF the
Association. The committee, consisting OF
Messrs. Nutting, Baughman, Burgoon, Eng
! lar and Batsen, is required to report at the
next meeting of the Association. Several
ESSAYS, by Messrs Reck, George W. Hess,
Samuel W Hess and others, merit especial
comment. Mr.. Billmyer gave q careful ex-
position Of Newtons Binomial Theorem.
| Numerous fiue selections OF music were rem
dered, Mr.. Spurrier very kindly iavoring US
with johnny Smoker. 4 vote Of thanks
was rendered Taneytown and Uniontown DIS
tricts for their entertaining programme. Ad-
4 iouraed until the first day OF the Institute.

VIM. S. Myer, of VIM. S. Myer 4 Bro, of
this city, was married in the Cathedral, Bal
timore, on Tuesday last. The Baltimore
American Of Wednesday gives the following
account of the wedding:
A very brilliant wedding took place yester-
day at the Cathedral, and although the hour
for the ceremony was early-S.SO O'Clock
the Cathedral was crowded with large and
fashionable congregation. The marriage was
that of VIM. S. Myer, son of Thomas J. Myer,
a wei. known merchant, and Miss Mary Jn-
sephine Foley, daughter of Daniel j. Foley,
both ofthis city. Rev. John Foley, uncle OF
the bride, said the nuptiai mass. Among the
other clergy present in the sanctuary were
Archbishop Gibbons, Bishop Becker, of VIII
mington, Rev. Alfred A. Curtis, Rev. William
Z. Starr. The bride was dressed in a mag
niicent white bridal dress, and the groom
in the conventional black. There were no
bridesmaids or groomsmen. After the eere.
mony, the happy pair received the blessings OF
Archbishop Gibbons and Bishop Becker. A
wedding breakfast was served at the residence
of the brides father, on Park avenue, after
the ceremony at the church, to which were
invited relatives and intimate friends. The

some and costly presents. Mr.. and Mrs;

Destructive fire near neIln.,ry.. Will.

The large barn, wagon shed, machine shed
and straw shed on the farm Of Joseph Nc
Kinstry, near McKinstry's mills, was entirely
destroyed by fire on Saturday night last, to-
gether with six valuable horses, three colts,
twelve cows, three heifers, two sheep, feed
cutter, threshiag machine, reaper, five plews,
cart, four wagons, a quantity Of hay, straw
and chop, large lot of harness, and other
articles. The loss must reach $1,000, against
which we understand there is an insurance
for 81, 200 ia the Montgomery county com
pahy.
The origin of the FIRE is still uusolved
When FIRST discovered, at II o'clock, the FIRE
had made such progress that no effort could
be made to reach the stabling and liberate
the burning animals. 1t was also impossible
to approach the sheds where the wagons and
agricultural implements were stored.
A number of persons from the surrounding
neighborhood witnessed the scene Of the dis
aster on Sunday, and there were many ex-
pressions of regret for the loss sustained, es
pecially that Of the fine stock Of animals,
whose charred carcasses were yet snouldering
where they lay amid the ruins.

Narrow Escape.

On Saturday morning last our townaman,
Mr.. John Warner, who runs an express mar
ket car between this place and Baltimore,
made very narrow escape from a fearful
death while on his return trip from the city
over the Baltimore & Hanover Railroad. 1t
appears that as the train was slewly approach
ing station near Hampstead, Mr.. Warner
was walking on the top Of the cars from the
forward part Of the train to his own car, and
was struck on the head by an er-head bridge
whose proximity he had entirely forgotten.
and knocked badly stunned upon the roof OF
the car. He fortunately did not roll off, and
the train stopping shortly after the occur
renee. he was enabled to get down and 60 to
his car without assistance. His head was
somewhat cut by the blow, but he fortunately
escaped serious injury.-Hanooer Spectator.
