TEACHERS, Insifiute

The great event of last week in
Georgetown was the nesting of the
Sussex County Teachers Institute
which convened in the court house on
Wednesday. 1t was attended by about
1870 teachers and other leading friends
of education iu the county. The ami
M ated scene presented a strong contrast
with but few short years ago. when
instit1 1tes we're unknown, and when
school taxing was voted down in quite
a large number of districts. In no
county in the State has the cause OF
education made more rapid progress
than it has In SUSSEX, and this was the
cause of warm commendation and con
graduation by superintendent VIII.
liams and other speakers. The institute
lasted three days, and practical ad'
dresses were made on various topics
connected with education, by VIM. ID
Boyce, President OF the School Board OF
Georgetown; G State Superintendent
Williams, Assistant Superintendent
Carpenter, Rev. John Dewitt Miller
of Philadelphia =; DR.. A.. N. Raub, 0
Delaware College; Prof II. Il. San
ford, DR.. j. II. Caldwell, President o.
Delaware College /; Professor 7. b

| yery handsome school cause. which
was very highly eulogized by many o.
the speakers. The institute closed OF

Fleeing from Iier III ushand.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 23.-Louise Balfe,
the actress, has been nearly fortnight
in the closest seclusion in the Grand
Hotel and under the DOCTORS care. She
was unable to keep her engagement at
Havlin's Theatre on account, 1t was al
legged, of extreme nervous prostration.
Abe Erlauger, her manager, occupied
the next room. Every effort has been
made to keep her real condition and the
cause OF 1t profound secret. She was
not seen out and she answered no lot
ters, and admitted no visitors but hel
surgeon. Her failure to appear on Sun
day night at the theatre was the first
circumstance that excited curiosity, bu
efforts to satisfy il were baffi 9d unit
last night when Miss Balfe, on fifteer
minutes notice to the hotel, packed uT
and left on ths the 9.15 train for Cleve
land.
| Her physiciau said she was able tc
stand the journey, but it was observet
that she had to be lifted iu a chair to
the carriage and taken in the same wa!
from the carriage to the car at the rail
way station. Her sudden departure q

Attack cd by n vicious Bull.

WI. Pennock, near Chadds' Ford,
is the owner of an Alderney bull which
he purchased last spring of II. Q. Bid
die, Birmingham. The animal, during
the summer, often showed signs or
fight. Fearing that he might DO some
one an injury. Mr.. Pennock had him
confined In a small pen, in consequence
of which the bovine seemed TO lose his
former viciousness and became quite
docile. Acting upon the change in his
manner, Mr.. Pennock thought on the
morning of the 21st instant that he
would get over in the pen and curry
him, but the brute returned the com
plimsnt by making an onslaught on
Mr.. Pennock and jammed him against
the side of the pen with fearful ferocity.
Fortunately he did not do Mr.. Pennock
mnch harm. but he succeeded in land
! ing him outside OF the pen In shor'
order.

paruelI not Coming.

Patrick Eyan, President of the Irish
National League of America, has re.
ceived cable despatch from I. M.
Harrington, M. p, Secretary of the
Ntional League in Ireland, saying that
Mr.. Parnell will not be able to attend
the League convention intended to be
held In Chicago in January next, and
that he is " inclined to think 1T best
to postpone the convention until after
the meeting OF Parliament In February.
Z is doubtless the desire Of the Irish
party TO know with some defniteness
the probable outcome of the present
situation before making any authorita-
tive announcement of their plans or
before sending any message to their
American brothers and 1t also seems
that they regard Mr.. PsrnelPs con-
slant presence on the scene Of negotie-
tions desirable" The convention, in
accordance with this suggestion, Is
therefore postponed to n date to be
determined upon hereafter between the
executive of the American LsaSus and
Mr., Parnell.
