ST. MARY's, Aug. 15.-The Peasants
County Institute concluded Friday, Au-
gust IA. The good and efficient instruc-
ton ofProf. r. A. Armstrong will un-
doubtedly produce noted growth In
the cause of education for this county.
The special instruction on morals and
manners surely will put teachers on
their guard, so that the future citizens
will be better than to-day. During the
whole Institute marked degrees OF at
tention were observed by all. The
County Superintendent demanded the
presence of the members of the lnsti-
tute at the beginning OF the session.
Some few, however, were disposed to
absent themselves when the rob
was called, for which the
secretary noted the absence, SO
when the certificates of attendance
were made out objections were found by
some OF the teachers charging that they
had not been given as much time as
they desired. The report of secretary
was confirmed by the County Superin-
tendent and Instructor, and things
passed off quietly.
Wednesday night the Instructor
treated the institute to fine lecture
known as American Humor." The
audience was brought down several
times with degrees of laughter.
On Thursday night Peasants was
treated to lectures by Hon. B. s. Morgan,
Mai. J. M. Lee and Prof. Il, A. Arm
