He was driving an ox fea.ni, when it became frightened and siarted to run, throwing Mr. Hamilton otl' the wagon, the wheel passing over liis right thigh, fracturing it in two places. It was splintered up by Drs. McClellaiui and Dorsey, and the man is now doing well.

Mki.axciiolv News.-AVc have just heard the melancholy news of the death of our former citizens, Mr. Israel T'atton, his son and his nephew, a Mr. Moore. They had been fox some time in Missouri and from thence a letter has been received, stating that they were suddenly missing and afterwards found dead, having had their throats cut from ear to ear and then hung upiii a tree. Mr. Patton was formerly a resident of this vicinity, and will be remembered as a man of unexceptionable character. His son was in the army and served liis.country faithfully. Their loyalty to the government had probably become a stench in the nostrils of the rebels of Missouri and their lives paicl a forfeit for their devoted patriotism.

Tlit? Triflerknows of no city wherein there arc more elegant houses than She-caw-(/o. The finest, perhaps, are on Michigan avenue, the, "Filth avenue" of the city. This street is on the "south side," and runs directly on tlie lake shore on a sort of bluff formed by the action of the winds mid waves. It is several miies in length, and has an elevation of twelve or fourteen feet above the water. The houses are built only on the west -ido, leaving the view of the lake entirely unobstructed. Some of the residences on this street, both in size and style, might be fairly' ranked as palaces. Two miles, about, from the mouth of tin- river on .Michigan avenue is the monument to Douglas. It is but a short distance from the lake shore, and will be a handsome affair when completed. On the "north side," which, inward the lake shore, is rather more quiet and retired, are many line cottages of Ihe best suburban styles, adorned with conservatories and gardens, and embowered in groves of locust, ash, and oak. Many of the public buildings are liiagniticen! in fact, fully equal to any in New York.

At intervals, along the river, rising above surrounding objects, arts large, irregular structures, live or six stories in height, Mmnounlcd by square turret-like attics, rising twenty or thirty feet more. Theseare the grain warehouses and elevators for unloading. cleaning, storing, weighing, and reshipping the wheat which comes in by !he cars and is to go out in the vessels. The

Chicago stands, as evervlhing else does in Illinois, on a prairie, which mav I be described as 'ntnitrj hnriii'/ /ace tail no/''atari,c. On the east lies the lake, wifh I its ever-rolling surface of bluish green: on all other sides, the prairie, unbroken in ils

line of trees iu the west, however, some 'even miles distant from (he city, marks fhe course of the river Dcsplaincs, one of the main feeders of the Illinois. i.if course no visitor to Chicago could leave without a visit to the "Crib"—-at the lake end ef the tunnel, two miles from shore. This tunnel is emphatically a big thing, and the projector deserves (he thanks of all who ever set foot in the city for his idea. It furnishes the city wifh an abundance of the purest water in the world, and the supply is inexhnusiible, unless by some sudden freak of nature Lake Michigan should be "dried up." —Of the business done in Chicago, ihe readers of the JoruxAi, can form an idea, when they know that iixl thrc -n-ier train.s- arrive and depart each day on the various railroads centering there: added to this are the lake steamers, of which there are many lines. And the daily papers of the 11th publish fhe names of sixty-eight-lake vessels which came into port during the day prcv soil*. —This is the headquarters for ihefruitfradc, and just now the peach business is very liv ely.

Many orchards contain several thousand trees, and for eight to twelve miles back from the lake, you see nothing but- peach orchards. St. Jo. is enjoying itself just now, and is doing a smashing business—but then during the balance of the year the town is dead, particularly in winter while navigation is closed, for it has no outlet save by the lake. The steam across the lake is enjoyable, and gives one. an idea of ocean life.

was proud enough to see my name printed in Tiik Joukxai,, but 1 did not act bigoted about it, but have associated with the same friends, wore the same clothes and slept in the same bed ever since but I did not sleep much the first night after we got Tiik Joi:kxal, for Mrs. Williams was so indignant, and, oh! such a curtain lecture as she gave me just because I said what I did about Polly Ann. Do you ever get curtain lectures, Mr. Editor? I don't think I said anything very bad, but this is the way she talked tome: "Now, that's a line way for a married man to talk about a young girl, but there's no dependence in men now-a-days. I suppose, you will have business at Alamo soon, etc." Mrs. Williams is a very excellent lady and I always let her have her own way, so I. said nothing. And now, Polly Ann proposes to come to Bristle Kidge and wishes to see mc. but I hope she will not come if she docs, Mrs. Williams will leave me. Oh! spare me, if you please.

Bristle Kidge is I lie gayest place in Christendom, especially on Sunday evenings. The Store is a favorite resort for young folks of both sexes, and here the beaux and belles do congregate and often glide swiftly away to Wesley to Church, to hear the good Democratic preacher, the Rev. Mr. Chamberlain. One evening, not long since, there was a nice little buggy tlirtation coming home from "Wesley, the result was, one gentleman and lady walked part of (he way home. —Wesley is in "Wayne township, about four miles south of this, and is thoroughly Democratic. They talk of ceding it to the llidge. "We have a Church here, but the pulpit is generally tilled by an Abolitionist and such preaching docs not feed the souls of Democrats. Chamberlain preached here once and we then turned out en masse and the most of us declared that it was the best sermon we ever heard. If we could get "Wesley and the Kidge united wc could get his services half the time. —Ike Ferguson has sold his interest in the steam Saw Mill to John lligby.

The President, who was absent during- the morning session, now adi'essed the Institute. lie spoke of lie ad aiice of he Sabbath School cause, ind tii'" increasing interest felt in the work: that though there are some who oppose, yet the work goes nobly on. The foundations of the wicked are being shaken: (he strongholds of Saian are loitering before fhe invinviide power of Sabbath Schools. 'Wc should work with humilily, faith and a pure devotion. ever keeping in view the great end of our labors, and when we so do, success will crown our efforts.

L. B. Gordon, in commenting on the address, spoke of a point made by the speaker in reference (o the "Light shining in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not." The heathens have all had the light partially, but the darkness comprehended if not. All have (he light to some extent, but its teachings are slighted. It. is our duty to spread (his light, lo prepare ourselves to go abroad iu Ihe spiritually dark places, and with the bible in our hands to lead them out into tlie fulness of the gospel

Alien Jay spoke of fhe fact that when heal liens are addressed in reference fo a good iinin and told of his virtues, they do not feel satisfied but when spoken to of Jesus they led that a want is supplied, for where the bible, goes with prayerful labor, God send- his spiril converting the people.

The President, Dr. Mcndenhall, having |m csi nf some heafhen idols from China and Hindustan, gave a very interesting talk on paganism while exhibiting and explaining tiiein.

P. Winston, Jr., read an essay on the duties of officers in Sabbath Schools. He thought groat care should be taken in selecting officers, and when those are found in otliee who are ineflieieut. they should be

succeeded by those who are capable. Kspocial pains should be taken in the selection of a Superintendent, for on him devolves almost exclusively the success of the school and he should then be left free to ad, untrammelled by the other oflicers. He should be prompt, and see that all the fcachers-are in their places punctually, for •a lardy teacher always decreases the interest of Ihe class. Teachers should fuel what they attempt to teach, for failure is certain if we attempt to teach others what is foreign to ourselves. Children are knowing creatures, and can detect, more easily than we often think, any superficialness. The teacher should always be prepared, thoroughly so, and that before he comes before the class, Was in favor of commentaries and a 11 oilier aids, but would use them before coming to I he recitation.

B. II. Winston read an essay on the same

subject,

in which he impressed the necessity

of order and system ill all Sabbath School work.

The fact that, a good tree only 11ears good l'ruit and an evil tree evil fruit, was beautifully impressed upon the minds of the class of children before liini by the exhibition of both good and bad fruit, and then the comparison made lo both good and bad actions, making the application with great simplicity. A general expression was made endorsing (lie exercise.

Alien Jay thought we could not be too simple. Much is often lost by shooting too high, by going beyond the comprehension of the class.

After a nomination was made to take into consideration the propriety of holding a similar Institute next year, and if such should be decided upon, to bring forward the names of oilicers for the same, the Institute adjourned until to-morrow morning.

The Scriptures, precious as they are, must be esteemed as but a secondary rule, subordinate lo the spiril. Sacred geography, history of manners and customs were considered indispensable.

Allen Jay called a 11 en I ion to a point nurd by the essayist, that we should go to our labors in a prayerful stale of mind. We should study our lessons prayerfully, and try to imbibe its sentiments into our hearts. Study, patient waiting and prayer, alone can prepare the teacher to come before his class so as to be able fo instill info (heir tender minds the precious truths of the bible.

Allen Jay thought that the teacher, by shaping some of fhe question's dilicrcnfly, could have compelled Ihe class to answer questions whose, answers were, given by the teacher himself, bonce was a strong advocate of Ihe drawing-out process.

A. F. Wise would be very careful to avoid all monotony, hence would coniiuuiilly vary all child-leaching. The fact that the minds of children pass much more rapidly from one thing to another than those of older persons, must, ever In1 recognized by (he teacher.

Institute met pursuant to adjournment. Pre.-ident in the chair. Address, by Robert Caldwell, Paslor of the O. S. Presbyterian Church, Tawfonlsvillo. Subject. "Sabbath Schools/'

The speaker said lliat. some object to Sabbath Schools because (hey "m,j secular knowledge on the Sabbath, bill, sue], casonlng is not valid. The ground is propared by the husbandman, seed are sown and he waits for their development. So (he Sabbath School laborer breaks up fhe fallen ground of the heart, plants the seeds of truth and virtue in the minds of he children. The}- may lie dormant for a long time, but hidden from fhe eye of man flievare o( lost to the eye of the Great Husbandman, but in time trill dev elop, and if cuifivated will develop the possessor into a fii 11 grown Christian.

The Sabbath School laborer. do that which 110 man can hinder. .None can take from the child the blessed insfruclion wJiich they as humble instruments have imparled. The possessions of the heart are inviolate. Prisons and persecutions may endeavor in vain to separate him from tile love of God the workofthe teacher may be small a) first: the good may be done in a very quiet way. but it is setting on foot a mighty power that is prominent in the cvangeli/aiion of the world. To succeed well wo must have a clear sense of flic rut lis we leach. He who has a full appreciation of the Gospel truth will be Miost successful. We must be conversant with God's word and study to express ourselves in language easily fo be understood. ."Books of every kind are at hand from which we can obtain knowledge to interest and bmelit our classes.

Another essential qualification is rarncstvess. We lAust go forward impelled by an nestiiess, originated by fhe importance Oi. the work. Success will attend earnest, faithful laiior. Thousands and teiis of thousands .ire to-day rejoicing in a Savior's love simplrbythe earnestness of Sabbath M-liool laborers. We must feel fliat we artworking not only for time but etcrnifv. Tin-futuroonly wiil unfold Ihe result off hedevoted teiidier. The food is provided to feed thciaiabs and we have only to distribute to tlie vringrv and thirsty souls. We arc also to labor to rreolr this hungering and thirsting. Wc all have a work fodo if circumstances »re such that wc cannot- labor we can eneurago there is no excuse. If we tin excus*: ourselves, it results from linseeds of unl-elief. The work calls for all the energies of hoth old and young. The question tlmt each one should ask himself is, "What c.'.ii 1 do in fhe work

The sptaki-i' adverted fo his own experience in proof of the fact that some of the most precious and lasting fru lie have been learned wliiRyoung. The gospels, epistles and psalms ai*e, perhaps, foremost in truths calculated to interest and heiielil. There should tie ear ful preparation on the par! of the teacher. In the beginning of the recitation Ihe central idea should be enunciated so that all tli'i work should be directed to the impression of some great truth. Prayer is the great stronghold of the teacher: only close commuuion wifh God will prepare liini for liis work.?-/,

Win. ilubb:ird said to

save

(he world, we

must, save the children. The Sabbath School is the nursery of fhe Church. A class of small children, conducted by B. Maxwell, on Matt, viii., «3~M, was introduced. Questions were asked as each verse was read, and many valuable suggestions elicit cd.

The writer would use indirect nielhods so as to keep the curiosity excited would use, various mechanical methods, which must in a degree originate in the tact of fhe teacher.

John Cliawnor thought the most important aid in sectoring attention was earnestness. The dull and lifeless teacher nin.-a fail.

J. Ilolliiigsworlh .-aid dial Ihe le—on should be examined to see what there is to interest ancl instruct, and that, when we work with the greatest, humanity we. find our success the best.

After the nomination of a committee to take into consideration the propriety of publishing the jjiuitmtes and bring them before the different Schools, the Institute adjourned till 9 o'clock to-morrow morning.

Institute tiet pursuant to adjournment. President in Chair. Opened by the reading of Hiith Psalm.

Discussion—'-Teachers Meetings,'" opened by Allen Ja who took it for granted that siichlmcetir.gswere appreciated would

hold them on Seventh day evenings previous. One reason for this time is, thatusr some sacrifice is t-li us made the results would be greater another reason, the icsson would be fresh in the mind. As a general thing the Superintendent should have charge of them. After the lesson has been thoroughly gone over he should call attention to the most prominent idea of the lesson, and each teacher questioned as to what he thought would be most important to be impressed upon the class.

B. 11. Winston thought that First-day evening the most practicable time. Jacob Moore favored the middle of the week, so that teachers might have time to digest, and prepare what they there obtain.

The expression was unanimously iu favor of such meetings, and the speakers generally favored sometime during the previous week.

A class of girls and boys was introduced and conducted by Alineda Iioes. on Isaiah I v., I The lesson was read by the class, Ihe teacher requiring the meaning of the liifiicult words, so there would be no obscurity iu the minds of the class. Passages were referred to (hat had a direct bearing upon the subject, and the spiritual application was made wifh much tact.

Essay, by Amanda Grist. Subject ".Mission Schools.'' The writer truthfully said that Mission Schools demand the enlistment of intellect, heart and purse.

Allen Jay called attention t.o the fact that one twelfth only of the world are nominally, professing Christians, hence, 3

If von want afield of labor "Von can find it anywhere." he Mission School is the Primary School of Ihe Church. 15. IL Winston said the .Macedonian cry of "('01110 over and help lis"' comes 11 from our own borders. Let lis heed it now. J. N Jiinford said (hat Mission Schools are 110 longer au experiment. Mission means two things, viz.: a place to work and somebody to work in it. The lie!i.l is wide enough for the most unbounded cut husiasni of any. We can lie missionaries by example if we cannot, otherwise. In this work each may drop a pebble tha! wiil create a wave that will widen out and (.lit and li nd its fulness only in eternity. Lei each one be able to say in iruth, "Here am I, Lord, send nie."

A. Jay called attention to (lie fact (hat there are no idlers in the vineyard. If we heed the demands of duty we will work somehow and somewhere.

P. Winston, Jr., advocated Mission Schools as an agency in preventing crime and |ui-ilyiiif£ ouv govcramnit, -eitlliiiu: utfenfion to the sage remark that "Nec«-sM*ty is the mainspring of progress and civilization," proof of which We see. in file readiness with which the poorer and more unfortunate class grasp at (he means of instruction a Honied I In-ill.

Nathan Elliot had long since laid aside all question books: would ask questions on each verse, of herwise unless the class was very advanced there would be much hesitancy in the answers.

Dr. Jos. Emmons had found that system tended very much to the interest and profit of Schools, and to obtain this, aids supplied by the Sunday School Teacher of Chicago were the best within his knowledge.

A. Jay thought tlie most difficult part was to ask quest ions aright. ITe would continue to turn a question over until it was intelligible to the class.

Nathan Elliot thought mutual love and esteem must exist between teacher and student, ol herwise partial failure must result. Lydia Gordon found promptness and affability essential aids.

The committee nominated in reference to the publication of the minutes reported in favor of publishing an abstract, of them in the I meriran Friend, at. Richmond Herald 1'enre,Chicago, and in the Crawfordsviile JoruNAi., and that a suflicicnt number of collies of Ihe Joi kxai. be sent to each School, which was adopted by the Institute.

The committee nominated in reference to holding an Institute next year, reported in favor of holding one at Sugar Plain, near Thorntowii, commencing on second day proceeding fhe second seventh day in Sth month, ISiiti, which, wilh tlie following oflicers for next year, was adopted:. I

Perhaps a few items from this corner might be of some interest to the many readers of Ihe Joujuxal. 3Iadison township is generally known to bo strongly Democratic, and for that reason is seldom spoken of. We were fav ored with an excellent speech on the evening of the 1-ith, by J. 31. Butler, Esq., which aroused (he .Democrats, especially one who sought to pick.a flaw, but we have reason lo think that before 3Ir.
