Indeed, more than one of the '\ speakers and visitors from other counties kpoke of the meeting as one of tbe most! interesting they had ever attended. All! tbe topics on the program were practical j and were discussed with animation.,; Though the association was disappointed j at a late date in securing Dr. Gunnison I as the principal speaker, it was very for- j tunate in getting Mr. C. E. Franklin, j editor of New York Education, to open the meeting with an address on \Modern Ideals of Education \ Mr. Franklin contrasted the narrowness ofrthe ancient and mediaeval ideals with the breadth of modern views. He pled for an \education that should develop tbe moral, physical and mental nature of the child; that should regard the mental development as least important of ttie three. He insisted that, first of all, the school should give moral instruction 8 \ as the basis of any enduring superstructure; that next the school should provide for wholesome physical and manual training; and that the courses of study should be arranged with regard not only for mental culture but for tbe more practical side of life. Mr. Franklin held the close atten- tion of his audience throughout and his sentiments met (barked approval. The moroiBg session of Saturday was opened with a vocal solo by Miss Mattie J. McDoD&ld which was an inspiration for, the earnest work of the day. ^- Tbe first paper on'the progrjam was giv- en by Miss Minnie E. Hayes, of Saranae Lake, on Drtawing. Miss Hayes confined herself largely to giving a course of \sfudy in drawing adapt- ed oto the district school. The subject was j well handled, and many practical points I were suggested to the district school teacher. Other teachers gave suggestions on tbe subject, aod Dr. Lyttle and Mr. Wright spoke most encouragingly of tbe \ progress which bad been made through-! out the State in this line of work.' Superintendent- Reed, of Little Falls, followed with ah address : on practical \'. child study. In the clearest way he show-' ed what tbe teacher should reasonably attempt in these lines and explained the simple tests that' should be used to dis- cover physical defects and -mental infirnii- n;*5 cl&i ined t h at a reason able ti me be given for recesses, that the teacher should study the pupil in the home and on the play-ground. He asked tbe teachers to try to find out why the troublesome boy is generally the leader among his fellows. Tbe key-note of his talk was a plea for sympathetic interest in cWld life in all its environments. Superintendent Reed's ad- dress alone was worth, to most of the teachers, all the time and money it cost to attend this meeting. Tbe afternoon session opened with a violin solo by Miss Ida M.

Miss Elliot suggested some-of the essentials necessary for the ideal teacher, and the discussion which followed emphasized the points made and Others were suggested by Dr. E, W. Lyttle, of Albany, A. M. Wright, of Albany, Supt. H. E Reed, of Little Falls, and several members of the Association. At this paint tbe officers were chosen for the ensuiag year. They are as follows: President, E.

Perry, Miss Katb- erin.e Holland, Prof. James E. Weld and the president ex-officio. The teachers were very fortunate in having witi*them Dr. E. W. Lyttle, of Albany, the history inspector of the Uni- versity of the State of New York, who de- livered a most forcible and practical ad- dress on \Why Do We Teach History? 1 * Dr. Lyttle treated the question in relation AN'S is the place to buy NOTHING of all kinds for Men and »ys.

He empha- sized the importance of giving the pupil a fair, rather than a prejudiced standpoint in historical questions, regardless of per- sonal prejudice. Many books should be consulted to get the estimate of many au- thors, rather than confining the pupils to the conclusions of a singleTrlaa^ A care- ful discrimination should be made in the selection of dates, and only those should be~isaTiied which mark important points in tbe country's development. Again, biography % one - of the begt means of studying history. A country's history is grouped around the lives of its great men, and those men form ideals which cannot help exerting powerful in- fluences for good on pupils and later on the mature men and women of our country. In conclasioH Dr. Lyttle spoke of the inflaen-ee- which history-had in developing aDd giving play to the imagination. This address ended one of tbe most suc- cessful educational meetings ever held in Franklin county, and the officers are to*\ be congratulated iD securing such strong talent for the different sessions.

He is going to paint but there's really no necessity of it. Devoe has been sold in Cairo 18 years. Our agent is Faston Wynkoop. House- owners tfcere want Devoe, and painters there paint Devoe. It would be a bard job to pursuade a Cairo man to paint lead and oil—of course a-painter paints what- ever his customer wants, even if it's but- termilk. Marian Van Hoesen, a Cairo painter, has painted Devoe for 15 years. There are h h ll f D (two or three others; all for Dev ^^—don't know their names.

It comprises about five acres of land and is one of the most pleasant spots in the up- per St. Lawrence. There is already a modern cottage of eleven rooms on, the for loss of life at the time^of the collapse of the Massena-Cornwall bridge. Five or six of the best lawyers of Ogdensburg were retained in the cases. Edward Judd and Clinton Foster, aged 'rand 16 years, residing at Richville, are supposed to have been drowned while duck hunting on the Oawegatchie river a week- ago. They have not returned to their homes yet and their boat and oars were found floating down the river. It is thought the boat capsized and the boys drowned during a heavy gale. Theodore, the «ou of D. C. Denesba, of Tupper Lake, was accidentally shot by a 32-calibre rifle a week ago while hunting muskrats back of SissSfe's mill. Denesha took hold of the gun to prevent itt falling out of tbe scow into the water. in some way it was discharged, the ball fracturing two fingers and entering Denesha's leg. He was taken to a Montreal hospital fer treatment and is doing well. The Chateaugay pulp companies are BOW making more putp than at any pre- vious period in their history. The High Fails Pulp Co. \made during the month of April 84 car loads of pulp, and Manager Johnston, of the Chateaugay pulp com- pany, informs us that UJeir mill turned out over 15 carloads itet week. The de- mand for pulp is greater than ever and prices are also higher.—Journal. Marguerite, the 4-year-old daughter of Ben Dow, of Ogdensburg, fell into the Oswegatchie the other day and was drown- ed while playing with other children on the sea wall of the river and throwing shingles into the swift current /or amuse- ment. The little one's hood was after- wards found some distance down thi river and the body was recovered by drag- ging at that point. The current bad car- ried the child-down fully 1,000 feet. Stabbing affrays at Massena are becom- ng almost a weekly occurrence since -so- many Italians are quartered there to work the canal. One evening last week a last year's boss slapped one of the Dagoes familiarly on the back, with the remark. •'Is that you, John ; \ when the latter wheeled, whipping out a knife and aiming a blow at him, cutting him oa tbe Land. This is the latest^ase reported, but one can imagine the condition of affairs in little Italy when knivej are pulled for so slight a cause. \* The contract for the budding great bridge over tbe St. at Quebec is said to have been awarded to the Phoenix Bridge Company, of Phoe nixville, Penn., the contract price being in the neighborhood of #4,000,000. Includ- ing the approaches this bridge will be 4,000 feet in length, and it will be 150feet above the St. Lawrence so as to allow ships to pass underneath. The bridge will be on the cantilever principle, and the middle span, weighing 10,000 tens, will be sus- pended for an unbroken distance of 1.800 feet, exceeding in length that of the fa- mous Tay bridge by several hundred feet.

Wilsey Shonyo, whose leg was so lacer- ated by a piece of a fly wheel last week Tuesday morning, died Tuesday after- noon from loss of blood and shock. It seems probable that if his leg had been corded immediately to stop the flow of blood from the arteries he would have lived, for it was fully two hours after tbe accident before a doctor \could be secured to attend to the wound.. No operation was then performed on account of the weakness of the patient. The piece of fly wheel which struck Shonyo was only about seveT| inches long by two inches wide. It passed clear through his leg and struck tbe ground several rods distant, Mr. Shonyo must have been struck by several other pieces of the wheel, for his hand was fractured and several ribs were broken. The latter injury undoubtedly contributed toward bia_death. His funeral occurred Thursday, Rev, Walker officiat- ing, and a very large gathering of sympa- thetic friends attended the obsequies. The flowers were beautiful and in great pro- fusion, the deceased being a fine young man of exemplary life, whose friends were legion. Among the Assigns was an im mense floral wreath from the fellow mem bers of his Sunday school class. The de ceased lived alone with his mother, who is completely broken down by her tragic bereavement. He was extremely kind to her and only a couple of years ago took out a thousand dollar policy on hta Hte running to her, which sh.a will now have* to aid in her support. He was a brother of H. A.

The Ogdensburg Journal says , that Hon. Daniel Magone has received a pair of turkeys from Cuidad de Mexico. Tbe birds have practically all the features of the American-turkey, and tfoey are of the species from which the American bird originated. They have been placed on Mr. Magone's farm near that city, aud ^are brought there with the idea of tnfcro- dtteing new blooded fowls. Mr. Magone is also in receipt of a crate of Peruvian potatoes, which he will use as seed this spring as ao experiment. An exchange says: '' The cable of the Western Union Telegraph Company, which runs under Lake Champlaia from Ticonderoga to Larrabee's Point,has some- thing of a history. It was made in Europe and was first used in connecting opposite shores of the Red Sea. From there it was brought to Hilton Head, where it was used in connecting that place with Tybee Island, near Beaufort, S. C. At the close of the civil war it was taken to New York,where it was for several years in the company storehouse. From tbere it was placed where it now is,\ The Central Vermont, O. & L. C. and Rutland officials have settled their diffi- culties over the building or a bridge at Rouses Point r _joint use of the present bridge having been agreed upon, so'that the new bridge started last fall will not be completed.

The Piattsburgh Republican, after quoting the following from a city paper, ; 'With a rush aud roar the ice is now leaving tbe Adirondack lakes,'' remarks \It is very impressive, but the ice does not go out of our lakes and ponds that way; it simply melts quietly when the water gets^so waim that it will not keep any longer.\ In this our contemporary is little nearer the correct version. The ice stays until so honeycombed under the hot sun that it will not hold together, and then the wind gets in and the wash- ing of the waves grinds it up into fine chips, which rattle together with a noise TTSe T>TowTn|T otf ^mnn.—The ^artieiesr PaH*,- quickly dissolve and a whole field will wften disappear in lhalf an hour.

Kelton, major eoaiinanding Marines at tbe naval station in Guam, by Misa M. Brown, of Chasm Falls, giving to* details of tbe death of ber brother Will, in that far-off country. The letter states that the writer selected Will, to take charge ol four other men in tbe care of the marine corps farm. This selection was made on account of hie intelligence, temperate habits and soldierly bearing, and the let- ter adds: \In all of these I was not mi§» taken, a* he proved himself trustworthy entire length.* The strength of the fish was so great that Mr. Wood battled near- ly three hours before he succeeded in cap- turing it. Nobody seems to know what kiud of a fish it was. It is said that druggist Henry Belknap bas run away from tbe St. Lawrence State Hospital, where he was a patient.
