Tho Institute concluded its session on Fri- day last, (The roll shows an attendance of about150 members, the numbers present dur ing the last two days was over 100 each day. Tills Institute was pronounced by the Schobl Commissioners and the public as the best that has ever been held iu the county.. The com petent leaders, Professors French and Tilling- hast, have received the highest praises of the teachers, for the* vqiy, excellent maimer in which they conducted the meetings of the Institute, and our commissioners would do well if they could secure their services for the next session. Id s a fact that they always had the right word in the right place, and What is more than thi6 dll their remarks and teachings were practical, and' their closing advice to teachers on the last aftemdon will long be cherished as good. We give a brief sketch of jthe evening lectures from the time of our last issue. On Wednesday evening the Baptist chapel was filled to overflowing, to hear the readings and recitations given by the members from the First Assembly District. They were veiy creditably performed, and gave great pleasure to the audience, particularly the musical talent of Miss Shuster, On Thursday evening the exhibition room of Union Hall Academy was packed by a free audience, to hear Mrs. Charlotte Wilbour give a lecture on Woman’s Rights and the bal lot box. We understand that she proved most couclusivcly that it was only a question of time, when woman should hold supreme sway over the affairs of this Mighty Republic, and man could rest in the quietude of home, with none to molest or make afraid. * * Happy day, happy day, when all men's cares shall pass away.’’ On Friday evening, Union Hall was again filled to hear the closing lecture by Prof. J. H.. French on the Duties of Parents1 and 'Teachers. This lecture was one that we wish every parent and teacher in Queens county could have heard, as it was full of practical instruction, we can only give a few items. One is that a teacher must love the work, another is that in order to he thorough they must pre pare for the work as our state offers to all a free instruction for all who desire to teach,' and third that a teacher should leave the cares of the school when they leave the building in order to keep in good health,.as he proved- the fact that teachers shorten their lives by a large per cent, for tire want of freedom during their time out of school. Among the duties of parents, he called attention to tbis important fact, that children should be fur nished with proper material for study, and that of the best kind. He also made some veiy good suggestions to those who have charge o f onr .school buildings, he believes that the school house should be the most at tractive in the place, for their children spend a large proportion of their lives. Let those .who have charge of our school buildings con sider this fact for if they examine it they will find it true. There are many more good sug gestions, but space will not allow us to publish them. A vote of thanks was tendered to the speaker by the meeting. Also a set of reso lutions were passed by the teachers thapk- ing the Professors and Board of Education, &c. At this stage of the proceedings, com missioner Covert, who Row retires from that office, was greatly surprised in being present ed by W. B. Peckham, his successor, with Appleton’s American Encyclopedia, consisting of sixteen large volumes, in behalf of the First Assembly District. To this he responded in an appropriate and becoming manner, thanking them for this their last act of kind ness shown toward him as their commissioner. Immediately-Dr. French took the floor, and informed Mr. Covert, that this was not all, and that ho bad been appointed by the teach ers o f the county to present before him a very serious question, and one that would af fect him for years to come. He then brought forth a potato masher, and told him to beware lest it should some day he hurled across bis head. Something spicy being needed, a large old-fashioned pepper box was brought forth, th e teachers desiring to pay him a visit had proeui ed a rolling pin for bread making; also a grater. Something sweet was then given in chape of a paper of candies; then came a comforter to comfort hips;'then a baby’s rattle box; then a child’s smoothing iron, to smooth fife’s pathway; then a picture-book; and, last of all, name a neatly dressed doll.— All these, Dr. French stated, were presented by the lady teachers of Queens county. To this Mr. Covert responded with ranch emo tion. The hint was taken by ail that Mr. C. might soon pass into the happy state which the Udy teachers had prepared for'the future.— This pfirt of the exercises caused much amuse ment to the audience. After a motion by the Rev. Mr. Alliger, thanking the Institute for the agreeable mannerin which the citizens of Jamaica had been entertained daring the past two weeks, was carried, the Institute ad journed. , a M e w R a i l r o a d E n t e r p r l / « ^ \ 3 . ' The completion of the “ New York, Fli ing and North Side Railroad’’ to Whitestone, on Long Island sound,, tfas celebrated last Sat urday, with great enthusiasm by the people living on the line o f the road, who turned out en masse to welcometlts first train that passed over the road from Fltiihing to Whitestone, bearing an excursion pifcrty, numbering a hun dred gentlemen, or mah:, from New York and towns in Queens ’(Httnty, The Comple tion of this road o p e n s - th e thriving manu facturing villages of College Point and White- Stone to easy and rapid communication with New York, rendering diem more convenient of access 'than Newark^, and otlior cities in New Jersey of far less natural advantages, Which have grown to be largo manufacturing tbwns by means of raltfoad facilities.. The credit of this new enterprise is due entirely, to the citizens of Flushing who have built the railroad without any outside assistance, at a cost of nearly a million-dollars. Chief among the promoters of the undertaking we re Mr. C. Oppcnhusen, the President of the road, Mr. Orange Judd and Mr.‘ John D. Locke. Eveiy modern device for the improvement of the track, tho equipment and the running gears of railways has been; adopted on this road.— The rails, which are steel headed, were im ported from the established Iron Works, of Funke & Elbcrs, in PrWsia; the cars are of the latest pattern and finish, and are heated with steam; Loughrfdge’a patent car-brakes are attached to every engine, and everything connected with tho road is as perfect as' tlie means afforded by modem inventive genius would permit. The result is that it is be yond question the safest and the easiest riding railway that runs out Pf Hew York. The arrangements for celebrating the open ing of the road last Saturday, were on the most liberal, not to say extravagant scale, and notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, the people on the line of the road, particularly at the village of Whitestone, the terminus, aided in carrying- them out with enthusiasm and success. On the arrival of the traiu at that place the excursionists were met by the entire population, women and children included,, who with banners, evergreens, mottoes, and a brass band, formed a procession and es corted the party to the. Whitestone House where a sumptuous ‘dinner was prepared which would have done credit to Delmonico. Among the notable features of the procession, were a carpenter’s shop borne on wheels with the mechanics busily at Work, the Whitestone boat club riding in a boat, a base ball club with the members in shirt sleeves and bearing their hate, and other representations, of tho en terprise, industry and Young Americanism of the borough of Whitestone. At the depot, which was gaily decorated with flags and evergreens, the party wwq welcomed by Colo nel Talmadge in a neat speech, which was fitly responded to by Mr. Oppenhusen.— Hon. JobnW. Lawrence presided at the ban quet, and toasts were drank to the “ Guests,” to the “ New Railroad;” to “ Railroads in general,” to the villages of “ Flushing,” “ College Point” and “ Whitestone,” to the “ Press,” to the “ Ladies,” &c.; and respond ed to by Mr. Henry Haguer, Mr. 8. B. Par sons, Mr. Scelesinger, Mr. Oppenhusen, Sr. and Jr., Mr. Orange Judd, of the American Agriculturist, Mr. O’Brien, of the Herald, Mr. Meincke, of the German JPress, Mr. Constable, of Harper's Weekly, Mx. Hins dale, Hr. Locke, Mr. Grikbam, Mjr. Koppe and many others. The completion of this read brings that sec tion of Long Island witbiit Jess than an boor’s ride of the business portion of New York, and adds a large and r'apidly-ltifcreasingpopulation to its suburbs. 1 L I T E R A T U R E . New B o o k s . 7he Polar World, by Dr. G. Hartwig— 163 irfustrationa—Harper & Brothers, is em phatically the hook for these regions. It is by far the best book ever published both of the arctic and antarctic SOSes. If the reader wishes an excitable and-* adventurous discrip- tioif read either the norfttifts of Dr. Hjall or Dr. Kane, bnt If a description-of the whole zone; Iceland and the Inlanders; Lapland and the Laps; Siberia, wttli its fur trades and Its gold mines; the British Possessions of our continent around Hqdson B«y, and bordering on the unknown sea; Greenland, Newfound land, nearer Home; M r., Seward Alaska, and the Esquimaux—regd this bpok. Stories of Adventures are nbfe wanting in it. He has added the' adventurous accounts of many of thd most noted explorers, Including Russian, English and American. The-illttstntipns are so numerous that (he hook could be read by them alone; In these days, when \a thousand firms are constantly finning ont books—when fio publishing house thinks itself complete without its own pub lished monthly—wheh ra»k canvassers are moip numerous thaa the locusts o f Egypt In the time of Pharoah. One may ask how can time be found to skim (over this brain food much lets prowi^.dJgwt It? The answer is—read such books as the Polar World, a digest of all on ,the subject of the Polar reigons, What is worth'treasuring in Hall, in Katie* in HayCs, in Wrangell, in Castren, is fmmd here. Undoubtedly Harpers are the lnost popular publishers of the present day. They have not only the will but the ability to put tlieir works on the market in such a form that they are not only instructive, but amusing. In 467 pages in.this work there ore 178 illustra tions—more than .one illustration for every three pages of reading matter; and yet the price is not enhanced. K C a ftaxlnes, E t c .

Tho coming Crisis in Canada; may be a little startling to our new Dominion brothers and English cousins, but we believe it to be inevitible.

The Revolution publishes the following prospectus: The Revolution is a weekly journal de manding Suffrage for Women. ' The demands for woman everywhere to-day, are for a wider range of employments, higher wages, thorough physical and mental educa tion, and her civil rights-of person, property, wages and children. While we yield to none in the earnestness o f oar advocacy of any of these, we make the broader demand of wo man’s enfranchisement as the only way by which all special privileges can be permanent ly secured. No class o f citizens, either men or women can'ever feel a proper self-respect, o^cotnmand the respect of others, until their pmitical equality—their citizenship be fully1 recognized. In discussing, as we shall Incidentally, the many sides of all questions o f natural life—of science, philosophy, society, religion and politics, of finance, trade* capital, labor and land monopoly, of sanitary, educational and prison reform, we propose to educate women for an inteili^q‘.''^\’‘»esion of opinion at the pOlls, where, In the march o f Civilization, she is so Soon to share in the - grave responsibili ties of government. While we would not refuse men an occa sional word in oiir colnmns, yet as masculine ideas have ruled the race for six thousand years, we specially desire that tlie Revolution shall bo the mopth-piece of women, that they may give tho world the feminine thought in polities religion and social life; that ulti mately in the union of both, wc may find the truth in all things. On the idea taught by tlie creeds, codes and customs of onr times, that women was made for man—his toy, drndge, victim, subiect, or even mere companion—we declare war to the death, and proclaim the higher truth that like man, she was created by God for individual, moral responsibility and progress - here and forever, and that tbe physical conditions of her earthly life are not to be taken as tho priucipiilfcvidence of the Divine intention re specting bier as an immortal being. Our special contributors tbis year are: Paulina Wright Davis, Isabella Beecher Hooker, Harriet B.eeclier Stowe, Alice and Pbebe Gary, Olive Logan, Eleanor Kirk, Charlotte B. Wilbour, and others. In announcing this brilliant array of con tributors for coming year, wo wish to say to onr readers thnt as tbe Revolution is on in dependent journal, bound to no party or sect, those who write for our columns are respon sible only for what appears under their own names. Hence if old Abolitionists and Slave holders, Republicans and Democrats, Pres byterians and Univerealists, Saints, Sinners and the Beecher family find themselves side by side in writing up the question of Woman Suffrage, they must pardon-each other’s differ ences on all other points, trusting, that by giving their own views strongly and grandly, they will overshadow tho errors by their side, , About to enter on o#ur third year, it gives us pleasure to say that the Revolution started with a good list of subscribers, which was more than doubled tlie second year. Equal patronage in tlie future will soon place us on a permanent basis, and make a woman’s pa per in this country a financial success. ' A recent case occurred where a farmer, to save expense, omitted to take his local paper for a year. He went to market on Monday with a load of wheat, and sold it to tho first one who offered him lc. more per bushel than he got the week before. With part ot the money he bought a piece of 42 yards of mus lin at 17 cents per yard. At night ire met a neighbor who had sold his wheat of the same quality at 10 cents a bushel higher, and bought the same kind of muslin for 1C cents. His local paper of Saturday had told him of an advance of 10 cents on wheat, and who paid it, and he stuck for that price and got it.— The same paper contained an advertisement of a dealer who sold the cotton goods at 15 cents, and lie bought them there. He made, or saved, $3.81 on that day’s trip, from ithe information gained from one, number of his paper, while for a whole year it cost him only $2. The single number, costing 4 cents, was worth to him $1.81 above a year’s subscrip tion. And so it will often be all through the year—not to mention the fact that his children are growing up intelligent—they learn to read in reading the paper, -and thus save time and expense tit school; aqd they know what is going on in the world, have something to think of while at work, and their beads are not so much the devil’s work-shop, for he “ finds some mischief still for idle hands” and brains. There is another story about the above two farmers; Tho one who got the largest price for his wheat, had also more bushols per acre to sell, with the same cost of culture. A couple of hiots he got from the American Agriculturist,' which des cribed the mode of culture and kind of seed used by another farmer, were adopted by him, and tho result was 4 busheb per acre more on 85 acres—or 140 bushels of wheat, clear gjtin. Such rc^>s are very common, and it could hardly bebwierwise. A large force’of prac tical men are all through the year gathering information for the paper, and the result of all this is furnished to subscribers for $1:60, or less to clubs. Many cases are known where the occupants of village plots have in creased the yield of the little garden many dollars worth during a year, by following the hints and suggestions of the Agriculturist .— And, aside from this, may be named its $12,- 000 worth of beautiful engravings, and its Household and Children’s Departmenfi—all valuable,—and its constant showing up of humbugs, which have saved to the country millions of dollars that would otherwise, have gone into the bauds of swindlers. Reader, such papers are each worth far more than the cost-to every one, and we can gay unhesita tingly, first secure a good local paper (our own, if you can find no D e f i e r ) , and next, supply yourselves with the American Agri- cUltariet, published by Orange Judd & Co., 246 Broadway, New York, at $1.60 a year, or four copies for $6. A now volume, the 20th Annual one, is just beginning, and now is just the time to send for it. It will pay fax more than its coat You wont it; your wife wants i t ; your children want it.
