Head what IL sa'd in this issue
about Peabody In 'titute. We regret
exceedingly that our duties prevent
cd as attending any of. tue sessions
and from all we have heard from
those who did attend We think our
citizens had an intellectual feast, that
this Institute was decidedly the best
ever held in Romney. Tho closing
remarks OF DIR. Schaefer, we are
told, were particularly beautiful and
touching such as were calculated to
make lasting impression on the
teachers. especially those who are
looking forward to their first oxper,
fence In teaching.
Another proof that advertising
pays: few weeks ugo we advertised
a silver bracelet belonging 10 little
Isabella Morton which had been lost
aud last Monday morning the iden.
teal bracelet was brought to this Office
by uncle William Fowler q worthy
colored man Of this place who he'd
picked the trinket up on the street
not knowing to whom it belonged and
not dceming it of any value until he
accidentally heard Of The advertise
ment in the INTBLLTGENCER. We
congratulate Mrs. Morton on the re
covery OF the bracelet which she
priced on account of It being the Gift
of dear relative to her little girl.
and also on its having fallen into
such good hands.
