C. Williams, whose name was recently coupled with a < public scandal, got intoxicated last Friday, and took quarters in the Metnodist Church sometime Friday night. He was found Saturday noon, by Bev. Chas. Wilkinson, who had occasion to visit the church, with his feet badly frozen. He was taken in charge Township Trustee and now lies in a very critical condition. It is thought both feet will require amputation to save his life. How True. —It was a big thing to have seen an original piece of the meteor of Dec. 28th, '69, but it is a greater thing to visit Dorwin <fc Bro.'B neat and tidy Drug Store, and see the large quantity of Dr. J.

Report of the Adams County Teachers 7 Institute. First Session, 1869. i The Institute met in the First Presbyterian church building in Decatur, on Monday, December 27th, and was organized at 2 o'clock !•'. m. It continued in session five days. The School Examiner, S. C. Bollman, presided ; Mr. D. L. Mey* ers served as Vice-President, and Wm. Baughman, Esq. as Secretary. The opening ceremony, statement of object of Institute, and reading a portion of XII chapter of Romans by the Examiner, music bj’ the choir, led by. Miss A. Porter, and prayer by Mr. W. 11. Schrock. The entire enrollment was sixtyfour members. Thirty-five attended five days ; nine, four days; sixteen, three days, and four, two days. An average of fifty-tbrje for the five days. The following committees were raised : Arrangement of Programme for Institute Exercises — Messrs. S. C. Bollman,. D. L. Meyers, Wm. Baughman, J. H. Browning, and E. H. Waggoner. On liesolutions — Messrs. 11. B. Knoff, D. J. Aber, G. Christen, L. C. Miller, and D. C. Kennedy, and Misses V. E. Collins, and M. C. Gilpin.

C_ The general plan of criticisms following all lectures, except those on drawing, seemed to work well, and awakened a lively interest." Criticisms were participated in with a lively zeal, were in the main sharp and often to the point. Few, indeed, of the lecturers can say, we did not come in for a share. When wc consider the fact, that all who lectured, did so without any special preparation, and too, that all were novices in Institute proceedings, wc certainly can congratulate ourselves on their success and upon the marked success of the first Institute ever held in Adams county. As proof that the interest did not abate, it is only necessary to state that the number of members present on the last day was fifty-two, as appears from the roll. lectures and Discussiors The lecture, Tuesday evening, 28th, subject, The Relative duty of Teacher, Pupil, and Parent, by Mr. W. IL Schrock, was interesting and instructive, was largely attended by friends, the public. The lecture, Wednesday evening, 29th, subject, Physiology, the necessity and utility of having it taught in our Common Schools, by Dr. F. A. Jeleff, drew a large house, was listened to by the audience with marked attention, and, though the Doctor's views relating to the “necessity and utility” differed somewhat with those of some of the teachers, yet, as those who differ may investigate, none need complain. The lecture was instructive and interested all. Thursday evening, 30th, a discussion was had. Question involved in the resolution? Should the law be changed so that a teacher passing an examination in the first six branches could be licensed for the county at large ? A crowded house again assured us that the citizens had lost no interest in the Institute. The discussion was opened by Mr W

Baughman, followed by D. LMeyer, Esq., then pro and con by other parties for nearly two hours to the apparent satisfaction of the audience, if not to ourselves.— The decision of the question involved was then postponed for future consideration. The best order prevailed at each of the evening exercises, and beyond a doubt, the appreciating • public could but regret that this, I Thursday evening, was the last of the course. The last day of the session, I Friday, 31st, being the day ap- ’ pointed for the consideration of ■ resolutions the’following were considered and adopted: Resolved, That we as Teachers in this county endeavor to the best of our ability to elevate the standard of Education in our Common Schools so that it may be an honor, as well as an advantage, to have been either a teacher or a > pupil. Unanimously. Resolved, That in our opinion the Teachers in the Public Schools of the County should give such instruction concerning the use of • Tobacco and Ardent Spirits, and their injurious effects upon the human system, as shall tend to secure ’ total abstinence from their use, to this end we as teachers of Adams County ought first to do away with . these vile and pernicious habits ourselves. Resolved, That female teachers should’receive the same compensation for their services as male teachers. Unanimously. Resolved, That we respectfully recommend the necessity of keeping our school houses and’grounds 1 in better repair. Unanimously. Resolved, That the graded price , list adopted by the Trustees of the . county of Adams, the price founded upon “the grade of license of the Teacher” was a move in the right direction and that the Trus- ' tees who have met their moral ob- [ ligations connected therewith arc herewith tendered} our heartfelt thanks. Unanimously. Resolved, That wc consider the • Institute a success and that it is .our request that the Examiner call . a meeting of the Adams County Teachers’ Institute for 1870 at such time as is deemed best. — Uuanimously. • ' Resolved, That we will return to our respective determined on making them more profitable to pupils, parents, and teacher, and if life "be spared to us wc will return here at the call of the Ex- ’* aminer to take an active part in the next Institute. I/annunowsly. > Resolved, That we return our sincere thanks to Messrs. W. 11. ’ Schrock and F. A. Jeleff for their • evening lectures, to 0. J. Kover for instructions in drawing renderj" cd during the Institute, to the , Trustees of the First Presbyterian Church for the use of the church \ building, to the friends furnishing • music, and to the community at i large for the inteicst and kindnes® i manifested during the entire session of the Institute. Unaftf ’ mously. As the hour for adjournment arrived much feeling was manifested t by the members, regret that the pleasant and profitable session was so near its close was plainly stamped, we might truthfully say, on every face. The members were favored with a few well chosen remarks by W. 11. Schrock, he exhorting teachers to exert themselves to the utmost r to advance their noble calling. Music had been selected by the 1 friends, but failing to notify the presiding officer, ’their proposed kindness was not known. The Institute closed with prayer > by Mr. W. 11. Schrock.

Horrible Murder. Last night just as we were going to press, occurred one of those terrible acts that startles the community. At about 10 o’clock Mr. | Wm. P. Arney was with other i friends in E. R. McConnell's confectionary, and left, going up street towards home. Soon after, as Geu. Colgrove and Gideon Shaw were standing at the foot of the stairs leading up to rooms immediately over Hill & Arney's grocery, where Miss Smith resided, they heard a crash through a window followed by a pistol shot, and Mr. Arney staggered down the steps to the street and fell—shot through . the heart. He was carried immediately into an adjoining room, and there expired in a moment. Dr's Bosworth, Cunningham, Bruce and Carver were immediate ly called and made a post mortem examination. The ball had been fired from a . bove, and entered above the left shoulder blade, fractured the fourth rib and passed through the great artery just after it leaves the heart, making an opening in it three inches in length. It appears that Miss Smith had thrust the pistol through a window pane, and fired while Mr. Arney was >”oing down stairs, or had his back toward her. As there was no warning to others there is no ex- ’ planation to be given. Miss Smith, we understand, came here from Huntington not long since, and was occupying these rooms as a dressmaker. Mr Arney leaves a wife and four small children to mourn his untimely end, who have the sytn- ’ pathics of the entire community ! in this terrible affliction. Miss Smith is in Jail awaiting an examination to-day.—ll7 nchester ' Journal. BEST CABINET ORGANS ! AT LOWEST PRICES. 1 That the MASON & HAMLIN CABTI NET and METROPOLITAN ORGANS ; are the best in the world is proved by t the almost unanimous opinion of professional musicians, by the award to ’ them of SEVENTY-FIVE GOLD and SILVER MEDALS or other highest premiums, at principal industrial competitions within a few years, including the MEDAL at the PARIS EXPOSITION, and by a sate very much greater than that of r.ny similar instruments.

Does not reason tell » us that judicious stimulation is required. J Io resort to violent purgation in such a } case is as absurd as it would be to bleed ' a starving man. Yet it is done every ’ | day. Yes, this stupid and unphilosophical practice is ■continued in the teeth of the great Jaet that physical weakness, with all the nervous disturbances that I accompany it, is more certainly and rap- ' idly relieved by Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters than by any other medicine at pres- , ent'known. It is true that general de- ' I bility is often attended with torpidity or r ' irregularity of the bowels, and that this j ' symptom must not be overlooked. But ; while the discharge of the waste matter , of the system is expedited or regulated. . its rigor must be recruited. The Bitters do both. They combine and aQti-bilious properties, with extraordinary tonic power. Even while remov- ’ • ing obstructions from the bowels, they tone and invigorate those . organs.— Through the stomach, upon which the i great vegetable specific acts directly, .t X gives a healthy and permanent ipipetus r to every enfeebled function. Digestion , is facilitated, the faltering circulation regulated, the blood reinforced with a , new accession of the alimentary princir | pie, the nerves braced, and all the dor- | mant powers of the system roused into j healthy action; not spasmodically, as . j would be the case if a mere stimulant , were administered, bu» for a continui ance. It is in this way that such extrai ordinary changes are wrought in the > condition of the feeble, emaciated and , nervous invalids by the use of this won--1 derful corrective, alterative and tonic.— * Let common sense decide between such a preparation and a prostrating cathar- , tic supplemented by a poisonous astringent like strychnine or quinia. | - L— * .
