were discussed beside the ,0picS on the
program. We believe it 10 he the object
of an institute 70 come together as parents,
teacher aud directors not only Tor the sake
of soeiability. but for the sake ot 1mp!dut
ing ideas. ::
One question of more than Ordinary IN
terest tha. was asked was, what Is a good
teacher4 While it is impossibIe to giFe a
definite answer, yet We can approximate
an answer Through the discussion on
this Il was evolved ths, q good teacher Is
one who can and will with diligence ana
patieuce accomplish what he undertakes
He not only teaches bis pupuS, Out ne
causes them to learn, he adapts himself 10
the different positions in which he may be
nlaeed. and he is curcerned about the pro-
qress and Improvement OF his pupils At
ter all questions had been satisfactorily
answered the institute adjourned. AT this
institute all the teachers in the townships
were present, and all the directors bul one.
All were invited to attend the next Ius'l-
tute az Garvin School, No 4, Sat, Feb. 70,
and thus ended the 4th institute IN Gran

The Brice Road.

The New Castle Courant of last week
contained the 70 flowing:
Considerable conjecture has been caused
among local railroad men by the opera
tions of an engineering corps which mas
been operating near New Castle Junction
and this city for a week past. Last Iues-
day the corps appeared at the Junction
and began tn run line up the Shendneu
toward New Castle keeping between the
Lake Erie track and the river as TAR north
as the "fan-tail" At this point the line
crosses the tracks of the Pittsburg d
Western and shoots off TO the northeast
From this point the tracks keep rlght on
toward Butler. The members OF the corp are
verv reticent as to their actions, out Que
of them is known to have remarked that
the Ens would run through Butler. From
where the stakes start from the Plttsbure
Western tracks at New Castle Junction
to the point from which it approaches
these tracks there is a break, and ~ can
not be told from what direction the line ls
TO approach the JUNCTION. a niue COZ
sidera.ion will show that the Brlce people
are the only ones TnO could De putting
this line through The line OF the brlce
railroad, or Pttsburg Akron q western
as il is known, extends from oungsto"n
to this city by the hickory Creeh route
canning ont near the Lawrence Junction.
II ia reasonable to suppose that the line
would extend across the rlyer by the
Junction. and would strike the Pittsburg
& western tracks at about the place Wher!
the stakes start from the Pittsburg q
Western tracks. There can he iittit
doubt that the Brice line will extend from
this city to Butler, thence south to PITTS,

The Little Country Paper.

The morning papers lay on the seat
beside him in the elevated train. He was
reading with eagerness All awkward,
crumpled little sheet. The printing OF
the paper was uncOutf, for it looked as
though half the letters We're smashed.
The impression of the type was dull and
blurred.I t was the weekly paper, print
ed in thu little town where this prosper
Gus well-dressed New Yorker had been
born and. Many man who has carved
his fortune in this city halls the little
country paper every week as welcome
messenger. 1t tells how the crops are
fourishing, how the fences are being
whitewashed every spring, and, perhaps,
once III awhile there is q paragraph
about the dear old mother, who has got
into print by entertaining the sewing
ciLcle. And the prosperous New Yorker
reads it entire, while the metropolitan
sheets Eie beside him unheeded.-NeW

IN EARLY DAYS.

In the early days of Wisconsin such a
thing as 81 market report wasnot known
in Milwaukee. The price OF pork in
Chicago, wheat in Liverpool and Whis
key in Louisville had no effect on the
prices of the commodities there An
eastern paper gives some prices that pre-
vailed in the Cream City i'll those days.
1t says that In 1885, milk could not be
purchased at any price, and year later
sold generally at 20 cents a quart. What
fresh meat was to be had was captured
by the settlers or brought in by the In
dians. In 1886 timothy hay-none OF
which grew there-brought from 50 to
$a per bushel, sugar from Is cents per
pound for brown to as cents for loaf;
potatoes brought from $1.75 to $3.50
per busllel by the cargo, and from $3.50
to $6.0 90 retail, decayed ones and all as
they came from the vessels. Wheat
which was only wanted for seed, was
worth from - to 81 per bushel in cash,
and in exchange for produce, all that
could be squeezed out of the farmers.
Butter, when it could be had at all, was
worth so to 65 cents per pound; eggs,
from 40 to so cents per dozen; pork from
$3.50 to $40 per barrel. -four, from s to
$27 per barrel, and frequently wet, black
and sour at these figures; meals, from 25
cents to ST. each; board in hotels from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day, board at private
houses, SIS to 81 per week; calico, from
Is to 25 cents per yard. The highest
prices paid for potatoes was in 1888,
when IS was paid, in one case $40 for
seed, which was carried to Rock River
on mans back. One man living in the
town Of Lisbon. paid 81 for as many
seed potatoes as he could carry home in
two pockets OF his overcoat.-Fond du
Lac Reporter.
