HUNTSVILLE. Ala, May 18th, 1884.
Editor Gazette, Sir
The Institute for Colored Teachers met
at the State Normal building May 10th al
10 o'clock a. M. I am glad to say that the
attendance was good, there being present
more than the small Corporars guard usu-
ally attendant upon such occasions.
The Institute was opened with devotion
al exercises conducted by Rev. Moland.
DR.. J. A. B. Lovett opened the proceed
ings with an able discussion "How to Or
ganize and Conduct Country School. =
His remarks were timely and forcible. and
l heard number of teachers express their
satisfaction at his effective treatment of the
important subject.
Mrs. M. L. Raines, Principal of Rust In
stitute, participated in the exercises, and
gave an interesting account of her own
methods at the Rust. She closed by urg-
ing the teachers to qualify themselves
faithfully for their important work in
moulding the future men and women of
their race. Her reply to Mr.. c. c. Clifton,
who asked whether a teacher should enter
the profession with view to getting mon
ey to enable him to adopt another profess
ion, was satisfactorily answered by an apt
citation of scripture.
Miss Louisa S. Weeden read very in-
teresting paper on s'How to open and close
a School" 1t was pronounced one of the
best papers read.
Mrs. Fl. L. Starks and Mr.. j. M. Rice
each read an excellent paper, the first on
1.-THE Teachers Influence" the other,
''The Relation of Teacher to Pupil
Rev. J. F. Humphrey, whose absence was
caused by business, sent in az able paper

The writer contribution to the feast of
reason was paper OF "School Punish
ments. This paper was discussed by
Messrs C. M. Wade, @. Gland J. w. Gift
on, A. J. Hunt, Prof. w. H. Councill and
others.
The following Resolution was adopted :
Resolved, That we discourage the use of
intoxicating liquors and tobacco.
The Institute was generally pronounced
one of the most interesting yet held here.

will be even more largely attended.

Lnice of the SanOta Tree.

In the basement of a substantial four
story brick building in Murray street, a
New York Times reporter was shown a
great heap of what seemed to be broken
pieces of putty. Barrels and boxes around
the room were filled with the substance.

She Laughed Too soon,

A woman stood at the front gate watch
ing her neighbor's dog coming down the
street with kettle tied to his tail 1t
amused her vastly.
Presently the owner of the dog sour
ried by in hot pursuit, whereupon the
woman at the gate laughed a gleeful, I'M
neighborly laugh.
Then a little boy rounded the corner
with bright, innocent look upon his
face, as who should say: "I-am-on-
an-errand-for-my-d dear - ma-so-
don't--detain-
He stopped and said to the woman at
the gate:
What are you laughin' at?"
She replied with hilarity: I'm laughin'
at old Bullrag's dog with kettle tied to
his tail"
Its awful funny, amt it?" the little
boy said, as he hurried on. 1.-THE ket-
tie is yourn."
Then the woman at the gate suddenly
stopped laughing. -PhiladcLphia Gull.

There was Granger convention some
where near the line between Indiana and
Ohio, and, as matter of course, little
Dragging was done by various farmers as
to what each State produced. Among
those who Dragged was Farmer Johnson,
from Miami Reserve, in Ohio, and who,
by the way, is somewhat notorious for
telling large and wonderful stories. Dur
ing the course of his remarks, he said
There is farmer living on the Mi
ami Reserve who annually manufactures
one million pounds of butter, and over
two million pounds of cheese"
This caused great sensation and some
laughter by way of derision, as much as
to say the crowd did not swallow all of
Farmer Johnson's story. He took fire at
once, and appealed to Farmer Jones, of
Ohio, to verify his assertion by giving
the name of that great butter and cheese
maker as Deacon Brown.
Farmer Jones slowly arose, and, in a
drawing, farmer-like twang, said:
81 know Deacon Brown makes good
deal of butter and cheese do not know
the exact number of pounds-but this |
do know-he runs seventeen saw. mills
