Teachers Institute.

The teachers institute held at this place May 31, under the charge of Sec retary Hine, was success in every res pect The morning session was held in the principal room of the school building and was opened with prayer by Rev D Phillips. Giles Potter of New Haven gave some interesting facts in regard to neglected children" relating some of his experience in enforcing the law. Principal Taft of this place spoke on the subject of ''school discipline. MT Warren of Danbury illustrated the method of teaching geography in the schools under his charge. A P Somes of Danielsonville took for a subject, 'lan- guage" holding that it should be taught from the first of the pupils attending school. The afternoon session was held at Improvement hall, about 100 were present one half of which were school officers and teachers from the towns of North Canaan, Canaan and Salisbury. Cornwall and Norfolk though invited did not show very good delegation. s T Frost of New Marlboro was the first speaker and had for his subject 'out- side of text books" N l. Bishop of Nor wich gave some interesting arithmetical instruction and was followed by J H Hurlburt of Lime Rock on the same subject only further advanced. MT Welch of Willimantic spoke for few moments but was obliged to conclude his remarks as the speakers from the east desired to leave on the 4:32 train for Hartford. Many were disappointed in not hearing Secretary Hine who was the last speaker on the list. Free re- turn tickets were given by both the H & c w and Housatonic railroads. We intend no fattery when we say the Sec retary is the right man in the right place.

Canaan Literary Gazette"

To-day is the 43d anniversary of the Canaan Literary Gazette" This will be news to many of our readers, never theless it is fact On our desk is a copy of the above named newspaper. It is four-page paper 9x12 inches, 3 col umns on 8 page. Its motto is
 "SinaM ct gucusda ct idonea deere vitae" Isaac Bickerstaf, ,Jr, Editor. a5 Office up stairs. Vol. 1. CANAAN, June 6, 1s4O. No. 1.
 The first column is devoted to poem about flowers, groves, mountains and nature; yes, human natufs>> too, we think, for at the foot of the column is this
 Remedy .for c Lady's Sore Throat.
 Inclose it closely, yet tenderly, with a shirt sleeve, and be sure you have an arm in it."
 Perhaps the editor spoke from expert ence when he gave this remedy. We dare not say this remedy is infallible, but if certain young ladies in Canaan would like to try the experiment, they can find ye editor and Charlie Pease at the NEWS office six days in week. The second column contains sketch of ramble in Sheffield. The third column has a sketch of stroll about Canaan. The fifth column is occupied by poem written under the shade of an old elm tree in Sheffield. The fourth page is devoted to an account of an excursion to Canaan falls. We have not time o1 space to give more extended descrip tion of this paper, and will only make the following quotations from it: "MARRIED.

This swung him swiftly to the fatal door
through which no pig ever returns. On

That two-asnded engine at the door
Stands ready to smite once and smite no

there was a splash. He had fallen head
first into vat of boiling water. Some
unseen machinery passed him along swift

and there water wheel picked him up
and flung him out.On 10 sloping couu-

and with one revolution scraped him as
bald as nut. And down the counter he
went, losing bis head as he slid past a
man with a Ratchet. and then, prestolhe

another squirted him with fresh water,

percEed in an adjacent tree, and family
colored people, who occupied log house
on the other side of the track. neglected
their ordinary occupations and stationed
themselves upon the piazza Later in the
day a carriage drove up and Mr.. Gebhardt
a ppeared with soap boxhis hand.
He placed the box on the grounds SO
that Mrs Langtry would not be compelled
to Jump from the car They drove to the
west end bathing ground, where Mrs
Langtry went bathing She wore white
flannel costume which was purchased
this morning, with jaunty little cap of
the same material. There were few peo-
rle about when she entered, but no one
seemed to recognize her for some time.
Mr.. Gebhardt stood by smoking a cigar
and seemed rather impatient. He hurried
her into the carriage as soon as she emery
ed from the bath house, and drove rapidly
to the car, where dinner awaited them.
This was served at about $50 o'clock,
the menu including pigeons, lobster salad
and green peas. The parloris ornament
ed this evening with number of large
Japanese fans, and over chair is thrown
yellow satin dress, profusely trimmed
with lace, which. it is supposed, Mrs
Llngtrv will wear to the races tomorrow
After dark, Mr. Gebhardt and Mrs. Lang
try managed to escape from the crowd
which surrounded the car and started for
a walk on the bluff. Mr. Gebhafdt re
tains his rooms at Central hotel but has
sent word he will not use them tonight.
The car is to leave here Friday morning,
and there is much speculation as to wheth-
er Mr.. Gebhardt would take rooms for
himself and Mrs Langtry in any Of the
h Otels after it has gone. Many people
said this Afternoon that he had applied
for rooms at the Mansion house and had
been refused. Mr. Butler. the proprietor,
however denied that any application had
been made for rooms by either of them
Would you give them rooms should
they apply" he asked
Certainly would, if had any vacant,
he answered. Il don't know anything
about them except what have read
| would treat them as | would any Other
guests until had cause for doing other
wise"
Inc Coloitu poItef WAS as non COHltllll-
tai today as ever and only reiterates his
instructions, that Mrs. Langtry does not
desire to see any one. Her secretary, Mr.
| Beswick, who is at the hotel, refuses also
to give any information as to her move
ments or regarding her. Tomorrow she
will probably visit the races to see Eole
Mr.. Gebhardts horse, run, and bott
will probably remain here until Saturday
If the weather grows warmer the car vii
be a very hot and uncomfortable place L
stay, as it stands on side track in a lit
tie depression, is cut off consequent!
from any breeze and is exposed TO the di
rect rays of the sun. As was the cas-
yesterday, the ladies absolutely refused t
be interviewed or converse upon the sub
ject at all, and would insist on lgnorine
the topic whenever it was referred to.
wss noticed that there was much private
gossiping in female circles, however. dur
