From IN article ON Admiral Foots
and the gun-boats, BY James b. Eads,
In the CesItsSry, We quote the follow.
ing: "In the railway train gentleman
who sat in front Of me, learning that
bad constructed Foote's vessels, intro.
duced himself as Judge Foote. Of
Cleveland, . brother of the Admiral.
Among other interesting matters. he
related an anecdote of one of his little
daughters who was just learning to
read. After the capture of Fort Hen
ry the squadron was brought back TO
Cairo for repairs, and, on the Sunday
following. the crews, with their gallant
flag officer, attended one of the church
es in Cairo. Admiral Foote was o
thorough Christian gentleman and ex-
cellentimpromptu speaker. Upon this
occasion, after the congregation had
assembled. some one whispered to him
that the minister was i'll and would be
unable to ofiiciate; whereupon the Ad-
miral went up to the pulpit himself,
and after the usual prayer and hymn,
he selected as the text John xiv, /,
Let not your heart be troubled We be-
heve in God, believe also in me- Upon
this text he delivered what was de-
clared to be an excellent sermon, or
exhortation, after which he dismissed
the congregation. An account of the
sermon was widely published in the
papers at the time, and came into the
hands of his little niece just referred to.
After she had read it she exclaimed to
her father:
"'Uncle Foote did not say that
right
"'Say what right?' asked the father.
"'Why, when he preached
"'What did he say?'
"'He said, Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me-
swell, what should he have said2
inquired the father.
"'Well, he ought to have said, Let
not your heart be troubled: ye believe
in God, believe also in the gum bodts.'"

Teachers Institute.

The state teachers institute for Van Buren,
county will be held at Paw Paw, commencing
at 10 O'Clock a. M, Monday, August "a, and
closing p. m, Friday, August 90. 1t is be-
coming well established fact that an inter-
change of views, such as is given in these in
stitutes, is of great practical benefit to those
who attend them. The teachers who are
found in the front ranks of their profession
are generally those who take interest enough
in their werk TO avail themselves of such
means of improvement.
The institute law allows teachers. whose
schools are in session at the time appointed
for the county institute, held under the di-
rsction of the state superintendent, to close
their schools during the continuance of such
institute without FORGETTING their wages for
as many half days as they are in attendance
at the institute. This removes a cause that
has prevented many teachers from attending
these institutes in the past, and in view of
the inducements to self-improvement thus
furnished by the law, county examiners and
school boards will both exercise wisdom and
practice justice by giving preference to
those teachers, other things being equal. who
seek all such means to better prepare them
selves for the work of their profession.
1t is designed to make the work of these
lnstltuteS Us pTdctlcdl as possible, anu tnuS
meet the wants of the teachers of all grades
in their everyday work. At the same time
it will be the purpose of every worker to
raise the standard of the profession of teach
ing, and to gain for it that dignity to which
il is entitled.
The subjects TO be considered are school
and civil government, school law, methods in
class-work, language lessons, grammar, analy-
sis by diagram, penmanship, spelling, read
ing, numbers and arithmetic, geography, u.
S. history, alcohol aud narcotics. Physiology
will be illustrated by skeleton and models.
More than usual effort is being made to
render this the best institute ever held in our
county, and all teachers are urged to be
present.
EspccidL attention ,ciH be giCen 10 such
subjects as hare been recently added to the
list IF Those IN lchich tedchers are required
to pass examination bgore obtaining ceryi-
Gates.
The exercises will be conducted by persons
of extended experience, known ability, and
eminent success.
The morning and afternoon sessions will
be devoted to the discussion of topics of par
ticular interest TO teachers, while the evening
lectures will be of a popular character.
There riU be no tuition or enrolment fee.
Pull particulars in regard to board, etc.,
may bc obtained upon application to the
local committee, Mr. A. G. Martin.

It was on Union Square that q man

nut to the boys. Lord Coleridge, when

liam M. Evarts on the banks of the Po-

"Do you know, Evarts, said his Lord
Ship II have heard George WASH
ington was q man of great physical
prowers. was told that he once threw
q silver dollar from this spot across the
Potomac"
you must remember, my Lord"
said Mr.. Evarts, shat q dollar would
go o great deal further in those days
than it would now"
The gloom that the recital of this old
story had thrown over the gang was
waited away by our friend in the long
ulster, who said:
II would suggest that Evarts might
have said something else"
"What?"
HE might have said; Il never heard
that he threw o silver dollar across the
Potomac, but history tells us that he
threw an English sovereign across the

ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Paw Paw Public School

The unusual success of the past two years
of our Schools is undisputed, and the deter
mination of the Board and Corps of Instruc-
tors is to spare nothing to make the year of
1856 surpass even those in the efficiency
of the work done, and the discipline and reg
ulations of the school. Those who are fit
ting themselves for work as teachers will
find in the teachers course advantages
beyond those offered by any other school of
our county. This course includes thorough
review of branches required for third grade
certificates, with privilege of regular classes
of High School in higher branches. The
tuition for Teachers Course is placed at the
very low figure of $3.50 per term of nine
weeks, being one-half regular tuition for
fall examination. To all desiring to prepare
for college, we offer a course of study APP
proved by our University, Agricultural Col
lege and State Normal School through the
proper executives, and the thoroughness of
preparation and intensity of work for which
our corps of instructors is Justly commended.
All specialties that are demanded by the
needs of the pupils and the best interests
of the school will be added, and all the eff
cient instrumentalities of the past will be re-
tanned.
New and improved heating apparatus is
being adapted, and all difficulties of the past
in heating will be entirely overcome.
1t is with the feeling that we offer the best
that we solicit the patronage of the public.
