The summer Of ITS was a dark
season for the American cause. Hale
was minor no longer; he was of age,
and Immediately after his country
was new born. Soon afterward,
Howe landed with his immense forces.
The patriots concluded rightly that
New York wonld be their point Of at
tack, and general Heath was ordered
there with most of.the army. Hale
made this march, passing through
Norwich on the way, and through the
summer was ia active service. Of
this service a few letters preserve our
chief memorial. The first important
duty in which he was engaged was
the cutting out Of an English sloop
laden with supplies, which, though
under the guns Of the Asia man.of.

Of the amphibious seaman soldiers of
Webb's regiment. At the head Of a
boat load Of men, Hale boarded her

are of q scientific character. On

wARREN's DIMIssAL.

1t is understood from good authority this
morning that Mayor Carse will, within q
day.or SO, request the resignation of Albert
Warren, the street commissioner.
The reasons assigned for the act are that
the recent vote of the council favoring
Warren's dismissal was so strong that ii
would not be policy for the chief executor
of the city to continue him in Office.
1t is claimed by Warren's friends that an
injustice has been done him, in that the
aldermen allowed public feeling and preJu-
dice to influence their vote. On the other
hand, the people who are opposed to War
rem maintained that the aldermen favoring
Warren's dismissal could not have voted
in any other way in justice to themselves
and the evidence submitted during the in
vestigation.
1t remains to be seen whether Mayor
Carse will follow the instructions of the
council, and request Warren's resignation.

best plan for making that study profitable
| TO the beginner as well as the teacher. He
favored oral explanations and instructions
in conjunction with the other exercises.
Mr.. Housed of this city then gave very
entertaining talk upon the fundamental
musical education as obtained in the pub
lie schools. He was of the opinion that
its Importance as a factor in general cult
ure was not appreciated. He cited numsr-
Gus countries in which musical culture
was made more prominent, and demon
strated its utility in various ways.
During the afternoon session Mr.. Har-
per OF Port Byron, gave very instructive
lecture on history and its importance to the
school curriculum.
He was followed by County Superintend-
ence to reading. Prof. Southwell handled
the subject in a manner which displayed
the fact that he was not only familiar with
the defects of scholars in this particular,
but also that he had given the subject
serious consideration. He maintained that
voice culture was absolutely necessary in
order to make perfect reader.
A pleasant feature of the day was the
mode of teaching geography as illustrated
| by Prof w. r. Marreat of Port Byron
with the aid of class from o1e of the
schools.
Prof. Mack spoke on the Languages"
