OUR TEACHERS ABROAD - " STATE
CoLoRED TEACHERS INSTITUTE"

During our stay in Newbern, last
week, we took occasion to pay the State
Teachers Institute, conducted by
Misses Summeryille, Principal: Coax
ley. Shadd and Nichols, of Washington,
ID. c., visit, in order to observe their
methods of imparting instruction, and
| give the result of our observations to
Our readers for perusal.
| We found all the teachers at their
posts, each of the three times we visi-
ted the Institute, and must con nfess
that we were more than pleased with
the very simple and lucid manner with
which they dispose of what would ap-
pear to be vexed and difficult ques-
tiOnS.
They instruct in geography and his
tory, giving facts, dates and geOSraphi-
cal situation of places almost simulta-
neously-as the mere mention of the
place calls to mind its history. And 50
in other branches. The study of
grammar, arithmetic, composition, and
SO on, is made pleasure instead of Il
burden by the new methods. Music,
too, is taught, and with that simplicity
that every child in the school catChe.,
the idea, and looking at the scale, sings
the music.
Each of the teachers is said to be an
expert in the branch she teaches, laying
no special claim to perfection in the
others. 1t rejoiced oir hearts to find
one of the brightest scholars mere
boy of IA summers. He is quite Il
genius i'll philosophy, history and geog
raphy. We only regret that more
teachers of the State have not taken
advantage of the opportunity thus
afforded
The ladies are kind, patient, enter
tanning, polite, unassuming and genial
in their social relations. BY their zeal,
energy and untiring efforts they have
ingratidted themselves into the affec-
tiOns and gained the admiration of the
people of New Berne. Miss Summer
vile receives friends and strangers
with Il cofdiality that is born of cul-
ture, and eRteftains with freedom
that makes the most bdshfhl happy
guest. Indeed the suavity of Miss
5hadd, the genti!ity of Miss Coakley,
and felicitOus bearing of Miss Nichols,
give some idea of the moral WOrth of
these benefactrecses. Let all our peo-
pie know that the South is the theatre
for our grande5t tritimphs.
1t was arranged to have an excursion
party for the benefit of these ladies,
during ottr stay there, but the threat
ening weather prevented In fact
nothing is left undone that can add to
their peace, happiness, comfort and
enjoyment. We extend them our
heartiest congratulations upon the
good work they are accomplishing and
hope fur them undrea1ned of success.
The above is all extract from an edi-
torial in the Tarboro Sentinel last

a most AtrOciOus and bloody
Murder.
A WOMAN'S THROAT CUT BY HER HUS-
BAND AT TILLERY'S, N. c.

One Of the most helllsh and
blood-curdling murders of the day, was
committed at Tillery's Station, ten miles
from here, about three weeks ago, and
first came to light on last Friday. About
three weeks since, the wife of one Enoch
Brown, negro, was missing. Enquiry
was made of Brown as to her whereabouts
and he said that she had gone to see her
people, who live some distance from that
place, he and she both having come from
Petersburg short time since. One little
circumstance added to another aroused
a suspicion and the people around suspect
iLg foul play began to look for the body,
1 which was found on last Friday, buried
ln manure heap, with her throat cut
Utmost from ear to ear. The scoundrel,
lnoch, was Immediately arrested, and to
Tue surprise ofall acknowledged the afro
tous crime. He was taken to Halifax
Jill on Monday morning, where we hope
h will remain chained down until he
| meets his just deserts at the end of the
rope.
