AS was generally prophesied, at the

suited in a very severe thunderstorm.
The freaks of the lightning here were
something remarkable. The only bolt
that did material harm was one that
struck the chimney on Mlchael's Hall.
immediately on striking the chimney,
which it broke up quite considerably,
III seems to have been split into three
parts, TIE main part continued on
down the chimney and came out in the
second story tearing off the casing on
either side of the door and then on
down to the first floor without doing
more harm. Another part, after leav-
ing the chimney struck the slope Of
the roof so forcibly as to loosen the
plastering for many feet beneath. The
third part lept completely over w. IL.
Rollins house and struck G. b. Wey-
mouths barn setting it on fire; but
many ready hands at once eXtinguished
it. No one was seriously hurt AL
though there were three children in
Mr.. Michael's house alone and one, a
babe. was lying only about three feet
from the place where the lightning pen
etrated, they all escaped entirely un-
harmed.

After leaving Yale the storm passed

The above resolutions of thanks may.
without assumption, be regarded as a
true index of the harmony of feeling
which prevailed, between all parties
concerned, in the institute throughout
its course.

ways renown to the superior skill and
talent of the instructors; and recognized

more than 230 teachers in attendance.

red Friday last, beginning at o'clock,
Prof. O'Keefe on behalf of the teachers
in a very neat ana appropriate speech,
presented Secretary Law with q beau
tiful writing desk, not as payment for
his valuable services, during the seS-
sions of the Institute, as it would be
entirely inadequate as token of
gratitude and esteem which the teach
ers universally entertain for him.
The plan of grading and classifying
the country schools, devised and insti-
tuted by him is acknowledged by all to
be the grandeSt ever formulated and
evidently reflects the skill and wisdom
of the mind from which it eminated.
as also does the force of character and
energy of purpose manifested in secur-
ing Its adoption.
In speaking of this system. as affect
ing the progress of school work within
the county. Prof. O'Keefe pronounced
it the best and most skillful plan that
had ever been devised, within the
United States.
The future history Of education of
this country will point back to this
as a new era in our educational system
ushered in through the persevering
and labOrious efforts of Secretary Law.
After the closing exercises. the teach
ers repaired to the dock where the
steamer Beard was in waiting for them.
And, after pleasant and refreshing
trip down the river, they returned to
vent their JOY in a general shaking of
hands and exchanges of congratula-
tions, upon the many benefits received
at the Institute and the many social
pleasures enjoyed.
