We CLEAN the following notes from
at Meadville, Pa. In an address of
welcome Prof. Haskins, of Allegheny
College, said that TO learn q thing
properly required the utmost concentra-
ton of the mental powers; that if the
mind was in the right state it was easy
to learn and remember; if the mind was
not prepared 10 receive new informa-
ton, it was next to impossible to learn.
Prof. Crawford said that all other pro-
fessions might be good, but the teach
ers was grandest of all
DR.. Little, of Dickinson College, said
that the teachers of the present century
are moulding the Goth century; that a
person who could read any book that
ever was written might truthfully be
called educated.
DR.. Raub. of Lock Haven, said that
teaching is becoming more permanent,
that more make it profession than
heretofore; that more progress in the
cause of education has been made in the
past ten years than in any previous cen
fury; that the alphabetic method of
teaching reading is worthless, and that
allmcthods should be mixed; that read
ing well is all contained in reading in
diligently, intelligibly and expressively;
that praise means much to the child,
and proper praise is good.
Miss Kepler said that too much Of the
child's energy is taken from study by
amusements, late hours, etc.
The discussion of Spelling" revealed
general sentiment in favor of both

Funeral OF Cyrus Sargent.

On Sunday last all that was mortal of
Cyrus Sargent was laid at rest in the
beautiful hillside cemetery near Bloom
ington. At three o'clock the funeral
cortege arrived at the Congregational
church in that village, the services
which were simple and impressive being
conducted by the pastor Rev. L. Cheney,
who delivered the sermon, assisted by
Rev. DR.. Eaton, of Lancaster, who was
an old friend of the deceased and
preached his brothers (Dr. Sargent)
funeral sermon, in the little red school
house west of Bloomington IN 1851.
Both clergymen in well chosen words
paid worthy tributes to the memory Of
the deceased referring to his many
kindly traits of character and regretting
his untimely death. Mr.. Sargent was
accidently killed by falling from a load
of straw on the 29th of October. full
and complete account of which was
given in the HERALD two weeks ago,
and his funeral services were deferred
until the arrival of his neice. Miss s.
Watts, from Lynn, Mass, who is the
only surviving child of n deceased sister
of MIR. Sargent, who, when the news
reached her of her uncle's sad death,
was confined to her bed with a broken
limb. But she resolved if possible to
be present at the funeral, and couch
was placed in the car for her, and she
started on the journey, arriving at
Bridgeport station at 8 o'clock Friday.
She was carefully removed from her
bed to the stage and driven slowly to-
ward Bloomington, when near Patch
Grove on account of the terrible condi-
ton of the roads, Notwithstanding the
utmost care had been taken, her limb was
broken again. She arrived at Bloom
ington at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The unfortunate lady was taken to the
home of Rev. and Mrs. Cheney, where
she is being tenderly cared for and is
slowly improving. She was accom-
panied on her trip by lady attendant
and DR.. 5. f. Thayer, a physician of
Lynn, Mass, who kindly left his prac-
tice there and came with her. Besides
Miss Watts, the other relatives present
at the funeral were daughter of Mr..
brother residing in New York
and his son-in-law The casket was
covered with beautiful flowers Miss
Watts had brought with her from the
east. The weather was cold and windy
which probably deferred good many
from attending the services at the
church, but quite large number were
in attendance. several being present
from this city.
