EDTJCATIQIIAZ.. Townslilp loslittite. On Saturday, the 11th inst., we had the pleasure of attending the Paoli Township Tcachers'Institutc. All the teachers of the township were present. The forenoon was devoted to Local Geography, the afternoon chiefly to Arithmetic, and most of the membeis displayed a commendable interest in the work. A good deal of information was elicited from the teacher and his class, respecting the survey of the State, offsets In the meridians, the lapping of sections on the meridians, irregularities along the Old Indian Boundary, the naming of various streams in the county, etc. Several streams were mentioned which the class could not "locate." When Bacon Creek was named, one teacher suggested that it must be a tributary of Hogg's Defeat; while another held exactly the opposite view. Perhaps the latter was logically correct; but whether either notion accords with the geographical acf, the institute was not informed. The teachers, when asked to engage In work at the blackboard, were a little slow to comply. They were nil capable persons, and yet vould all have been benefitted by the practice. Then too, it would have inspired the instructor, and given enthusiasm to the whole work. Ve know, of course, that teachers are, or ought to be, very modest; but there is nothing inconsistent with the most exquisite modesty, in being willing to take an active part in a good work. We enjoyed the day well, aDd came away feeling, if not thinking, Long live the Township Institute, PROBLEM, (3D GRADE.) How many sq. ft. in a board 8 ft. long and 3 ft. wide? The example is commonly solved without even a partial recognition of the facts upon which the solution is based. The pupil is arbitrarily and falsely taught that feet multiplied by feet give square feet. This is absurd. We cannot multiply feet b3 feet and get square feet, any more than we can multiply pounds by cents and get square cents. Besides, the arbitrary statement hides the principles, and diminishes the chances of the pupil's ever understanding his work. The same objections do not apply) to a solution like the following: The board is S ft. long, .At it were lft. wide, it would contain 8 sq. ft. But it is 3 ft. wide; .'.it contains 3 times 8 sq. ft; 24 sq.ft. This solution will commend itself to 'every one who takes pains to examine it, and does not require further explanation. In the solutions of problems in last week's number, the printer used modes of ex press ion which some readers may not understand. Instead of placing the numerator of a fraction above the denominator, as some of our Arithmetics do, he placed both terms upon a line, and merely inserted a dash between them, thus: 3-7 was the expression for the fraction thrco-sevenths, etc. This Is a very common way cf pt and should t.v pupils. In practice, j not sj good aa the ;ther way.

Another minute, and another noise from the same delinquent this time a file. Reflecting that economy of time might be useful in the case, I desired Master George to bring me all he had, and reluctantly there was poured fourth such aa unending stream of treasures that I despatched an assistant for the saucer of a flower pot in which to place them. A list is in order: A rubber ball, gnawed at one side, four yards of twine, three pee woes, two slate pencils, a piece of soap, a copper, six board nails, a pickle, a fish-hook, a bun, a letter which had once been pink, but now. ala3! five lozengers, atop, a doll's boot with the handle in it, a gold stud weepingly confessed to be "My Mammy's," a patent lock, key attached, a piece of gum with tooth impressions, a leaf from a speller round a treacherous piece of tar, two Vk'ite-knobs, a scissor, a watchkey, a pipe-bowl, colored and scented after the latest epicurean style, a shoe-string, a whistle, four scarlet beans, an inch doll, two bobbins, an Irishman's jack-knife, a lampwick, three pieces of rainbow coal, five jack-stones, a photograph, a tack-hammer, a ring, a skillet leg; a metal toe, a iabbit's tail.

T2ie Sam&Jlan, The man who could have once purchased the site of Detroit for d shot gun was in town yesterday, and he was relating the circumstance at the City Hall where he was asked why he didn't close the bargain. "Well, I had a chance to trade the gun for six bear traps," he replied, "I suppose I'd have made better if I hd taken the land, but I tell you there used to be u heap of money in bear pelts." "Did you catch many bears?" inquired another of the group. '"Not a consarned one." "Well, then, what good did your traps do you?'.' "I traded 'em for a scow." "And the scow?" "She sunk." "And then you realized nothing at all?" "Nothing; but when a feller's taste runs to bear traps and old scows you can't make him buy land. I'm not sorry, sir not a bit. When I own anything it must be something I can take an interest in. Art is low iu the New York market. Apropos of which, a correspondent tells a story of James Beard's early days. He spent a summer at a country inn, and paid his board in portraits at five dollars apiece. Some year or two afterward the landlord found the rising artist in the city painting portraits on a rising market. "James," said the old man, "what do you get for pictures now?" "Thirty dollars," was the reply. "Ah! and how many can you paiut in a week?" "Two," said truthful James. Tho old man, after a slight mental vrcstie, ex cJ aimed: 'Sixty djLUr.i a y;eck-C-'') a month. 2ovr, Jamca, if you can ba very careful and save up your money, you'll soon ba able to leave painting and go into some respectable business." Beard says that, in a business point cf view,' he has often been sorry he didn't take the The Turks have a battle hymn Inch they sing when they go into battio.

"Have you an overcoat, missus? I'm a poor man-a widower with seven small children five that I adopted out of purecharity and T thought I'd drop in and see about a coat." Mrs. Sprigg's heart moved with pity. She felt that she could never stand to be a widower long, and she joyfully replied: "Oh, yes! I have one of Mr. Spriggs, that he had made to order last March." "Oh! then its not of the latest style?" "Oh, no! I'm sorry to say one of those dreadful tramps stole his best." The man's face flushed !up some as he asked. "Buckthorn or gutta percha?" "Gutta percha," said .Mrs. Spriggs. "Oh, they have a disagreeable odor." "Oh, well," said Mrs. Spriggs, noticing his look of disappoint. ment, "it's a very nic,e coat. I'll run up and get it out of the camphor." "No no, you need not. Camphor I detest, and gutta percha buttons! Au revoir, madam," and he passed down the steps, the very picture of grand manhood. A Blsappolnted Wife. A downcast looking vvorapn, about forty years old, called at a lawyer's oGce on Griswold street,yesterday, and asked the attorney if lid could see toa littlfs business for her. He replied that he could and she explained: . "My husband went to the Black Hills over four months ago." "Yes, I see. That is desertion, and good grounds for a divorce," he replied, "I don't want a divorce, sir. What I want is for him to send me some money." : "And he won't?" ' "Well, he hain't sent any yet." "And what can I do?" asked the lawyer. "Put a lawsuit on him and scare him into it," she answered. He gloomily replied that the court here had no jurisdiction in such a case, and that he could do nothing. '', "Why, if I was a lawyer I could put a suit on him in an hour I know I could," she. protested. He shook his head. "Well, all right," she said, as she arose to go, "I always thought that lawyers had some get-up to 'em, and I always held ray breath when one passed the house, but this thing has opened my eyes. You don't know any more than I I do, sir, and I don't know anything! Good-day, sir!"

When Lord Nf !:on gained the great victory cf Ccpsah." jm, ha silenced the sand tatterka v.ith hi3 broadsides, but he faund czt that one or more of hi shipj net a in shallow water. ' It 'ttrs, therefore desKied 'expedient to send a letter to the Crov'ri Princ? of Denmark to demand a cessation of hostilities in order to spare -further effusion of blood.- -The letter being neatly writtedfend folded, Lord Nelson sent for a stick of veiling wax. It so happened that he who was sent on the commission had his head taken ofT by a cannon bail. This w3 reported to Lord Nelson. "Send another messenger for the wax," said he. It was observed to him that there were wafers on tha table. "Send for the sealing wax," said he. It was done and the letter was sealed. Some one said: "May I take the liberty of asking why, under so hot a fire, and after such an accident, you attach so much importance to a circumstance apparently trifling." He replied: "If I had used a wafer It would have been still wet when the letter was presented to the Crown Prince; he would havo inferred that the letter was sent off in a hurry, and that we had some pressing occasion for it. The wax tells no tales." EallJ Fruits. As the season has come when fall fruits must be taken caro of, the Leader man, who knows everything, offers some excellentjadvice, as follows: Potatoes should be picked tenderly, being careful not to mix the thorns of the bushes with the Irish berries, They should be cooked in jams or jellies and canned, secure ly qooked or sealed. Pumpkins should not be knocked off the tree with a pole. - There is danger of bruising them, and then they do not make such good cider as when carefully pulled and handed down. Apple-butter should ba churned lively in order to mix well the flies and bugs tlvt "drap" into the kettle and are stewed up without even being peeled or skinned. Cabhage should be dug up with a spade as the hoe is apt to play the Moon Guillotine with them, and they lose their flavor when they bled too freely. Turnips must be husked in dry weather and cribbed before getting wet so as not to sour. Squashes ought to be shelled as soon as the hull turns brown, so that the kernel will become dry and oily. t Winter apples should be plowed up early go that the moles can't have a chance to suck the juice out of them. Pop-corn balls may ' be shook down, and shoveled up without mercy, as nothing bruises or harms them except healthy molars. They should be pickled in vinegar or richly preserved. ' You" will now pleas laugh. Lafayette Leader. 'lulu JTXi d 3. - Mrs. E. W. Neal, wifa of Dr. Ncal, of the Augusta Asylum for the Insane, took "Pat," the fara ily horse, and the buggy some weeks ago, and with her little boy, four years of age, journeyed down through Belfast and Ellsworth to Pembroke, a distance of 178 taiics from Atrjusta, to visit her aged parents and ether r: I:. live friesds.

Tne PoHad bill prnvidrs that fCO narara shtill be famished on the rstofeach year, from which the gr.ind end ' petit jariea shall he drawn. Tha Clerk of the District Court provides one-half the numher, and the Probate Judge, in the county where the court is held, the remaining hundred - names. Of course the Clerk furnishes Gentiles, whila the Probate Judge makes a list- of Mormons, about three-fourths or four-fifths of Whom ere regular old blood -a toning . polygs. . In securing the attendance of these last named persons, the marshals have troubles such as confront tha of3cers of the law in no other country under the sun. One of the dif3culties to be met with is to find the polygamus juror at home. He is drawn and appears on the list as James Harker, of Coalville, Summit county. The officer proceeds to Coalville and after searching out the juror's domicile goes to the door and is mt by a large red-faced woman, surrounded with enough half-grown children to stock a ranch. "Does Mr. Harker live here?" inquinni the officer. "Yes, sir,"is the reply in a voice more feline than feminine, "Is he at home?" is the further question. "No, sir, not here," is the answer. "When will he return?" "I don't hardly know," is the reply; it was his turn here last week, and he's got, an almighty lot of 'em 'fore he gits round here "Um urn," muses the officer, dropping his head, "Where i3 he now?" "Wall, he's now down to the other house down to Jane's, in KaysviJIe, but he'll leave thereto-night and stap over at Beck'y, on Cottonwood, then he'll go on to San Pete, and the Lord knows,, how long he'll stop with that Scaudihoowian." The officer sees he has dropped in a week too late to find his juror at ho me and he hopes in his innermost soul that the next time Elder Harker is drawn for a juror, the Probate Judge will give his domicile nearer the center stake of Zion or else at some of the towns along the line ol the railroad. Salt Lake Herald. Suicide by Dynamite. Tn the annals of suicide few cases are more remarkable than one which occurred a few day3 ago at NirshilJ, in Scotland, where a miner 'named Duncan deliberately blew himself up with dynamite. It seems that the unfortunate man, who was about fifty years of age, was much distressed at some remarks made about him by his neighbors. He was seen coming out of his house with a parcel in his baud, described as being about the size of a two-pound loaf, and to which were attached two pi of colliers' "strum," or match. thi3 parcel contained dynamite. Having procured a match from the house of a neighbor, to whom he remarked that "they had said a great deal of him lately, but he would put it past them now, "Dancan went out into the street, and, putting the parcel on the ground, leaned well over it. He then lighted the "strum" with the match. At this moment some boys attracted by his "unusual attitude, cataa towards him. "Ilecp L ;.:k," the ;ted Duncan, "for t! 2 li.2 cf CzZl or yen will ba blown into tl.rr.ity!"

Arts, sciences, methods and inventions are progressing, and crime, which always keeps pace with progress, is .progressing likewise. Every1 new burglar-proof safe only stimulates some indefatigable cracksman to invent a drill or blast to circumvent it; every burglaralarm, .patent chicken roost, bolt, bar, or lock, or the latent and most improved patterns, is no sooner invented than presto! our criminals have contrived some tool or method to nullify and defy it. Th-J latest contrivance is the whistling alphabet, each letter having a peeailaV'sound, by which oat male" and female hoodlums, perched on the hills around the Magdalen Asylum or Industrial School, communicate with their friends incarcerated within their walls. Who says our hoodlums are ignorant and stolid? If our detectives were one-tenth as smart, hoodlum immunities from punishment would be fewer and further between. San Francisco Stock Exchange. A Coin Imbedded in a IIocSi People have heard and read of toads having been found imbedded in rock, but now comas another curiosity to be added to the list. Mr. John Adriance of this city has a com dated 1710, which was taken from the center of .a piece of rock found in the Bio Grande. The gentleman who sent the coin to this city with the particulars in connection with its discovery, lived at Laredo, and not having a specimen of the rock in which the coin was found embedded, has been asked by gentlemen connected with the Historical Society, who are interested ia the matter, to do so, in order that theories as to tho time the coin found its way to tho bed cf the river may ba deduced.
