The Coujity Institute. Both the interest and the attendance, at the county teachers’ institute continue to increase. The ability of the instructors combined with the intelligence and zeal of the teachers, are making this one of the best institutes ever held in this county. Superintendent Hamilton is especially fortunate in the instructors he has secured. Ail are excellent in their way, but none are doing more satisfactory work in their lines, than Dr. Sparling, our own townsman. And besides his good work at the Tegular sessions, his lecture Tuesday evening was almost or quite the event of the week. His subject “My castles on the Rhine” was treated literally, to the extent of describing some of the castles he saw in the Rhine country, and figuratively, as having much the same meaning as the phrase, “my castle in Spain” Fanns for Sale.
