The famous workers left dwellings which
have withstood the ravsges OF time, and are
not only fine specimens of old architecture

Each is a study in itself, as is every separate

old city. Here, as in Antwerp. an "Ex-
position" is in progress; but, though 1t

sense of the Antwerp Exposition, aud
serves more to illustrate the arts for which
Nuremburg has been and still is renowned
than those which are diverse. 1t is very in

that is old and worthy the effort to create
new life and maintain Old standards OF ex,

pre-eminent, and IN jewelry-the latest a
Renaissance of the old German wrought
work in silver and gold, with gems such as
small rubies pearls, and turquoise set IN the

WESTON, W. Va, August %. Among
many other subjects of interest discussed at
the Teachers Institute for this county was
that of Compulsory Education. One even.
iBg's session was mainly taken up BY the
one subject, and it was ably and thoroughly
discussed
The debaters fayoriag the proposition
were DR.. NJ. S. Holt, Lawyers McGsry and
Chichester and Professor Hardy.
They were met as against the proposition
By Rev. ]. A Tracy. OF the Catholic church
Of this place, and Lawyer r. J. Simpson.
Other gentlemen participated, but the dis
custom Was carried on mainly by the gen
ilemen named above.
No vote was taken at the close OF the
speaking. but canvass among those pres
eut gave the "skow Of hands very decided
" in favor of the negative as advocated by
Father Tracy and Mr. Simpson.
The certificates to the teachers have been
issued, and the anxious applicants have de-
parted for home. The Institute was the
most interesting one ever held in Weston;
and more interest was taken in it than was
ever before manifested BY those who are not
engaged in the profession of teaching.
