to Miss Amelia Beherns, by tho
Rev. j. H. Grimm. Mr.. Glenn

their full share of happiness.
Thursday, November Is, at
high noon, Charles Mock and
Miss Emma Shank were united
IN marriage by Rev. Eisenbise, in
MT. Carroll. They returned
home that day and in the evening
at the home of Jacob. Myc1s, the

withstanding the fact that the
audience was not i'm the most
amiable mood after so long a wait,
we believe the lecturer gave gen.
eral satisfaction.

tute. He was brought here to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the
failure of Mr.. Murphy to appear
He had been before the insti-
tute but u very few minutes

is scholarly and earnest, and is
doing good work.
The work done during Tues
day, both by teachers and in
structors was practical;and while
it was interesting to those pres
ent it would fill all the columns of
a paper even as big as the News
if we We're to attempt to tell all
that was said and done.
Suggestion; Inasmuch as the
teachers next year will not be at
any expense for music books,
would it not be well to assess
each teacher, say, fifty cents,
towards securing a stenographer
who would make a verbatim re.
port of every talk made before
the institute, and to have these
reports printed in book form and
distribute among the teachers?
Such a work would be of much
value not only to teachers, but to
directors, and to all friends Of
education in the county.
