The eeml.annuel mooting of the North Huron Teachers' Association was held in the public school, Brussels, on Theaeday and Friday of loot week. The torenoon session o Thursatty opened at 10.80 with an atteneanoe of only about 21 membore. After Scripture reeding and prayer by the president, the minutes of the preview; meeting wore rood and Adopted, Tho President then delivered his opening ad. arose, in whigh he teethed upon many points of inters -at to the Wolters present, lIa regretted the absence of so many members. Ho said teachers were paid for these days, and should not regard them as holidaye to bo partly spent in visiting their friends. All should be- oorne members of the Institute and not only be M tho place of meeting punc- tually, but shoult 4190 taken.» active port in the disouseions. A oommittee, con- sisting of the president, the secretary and Mr. Campbell was then appointed to essist the local teachers in preparing for the evening meeting: In the afternoon the attenaance was meetly augmented by new arrivals pour - mg in. The secretary, A. S.I. Plummer, read tho minutes of the forenoon mission, which %veto, at ones adopted AS read. Than a reporting oommittoe was appoint- ed, consisting of Messrs. Bowerman, Black, IlleFacizean and Plummer. Com- mittees were next appointed on Resolu- hone, and General Business, after which a synopsis of the proceedings at the last meeting of the Provincial Teachers' Iu• stitute was given by tho delegate, Jr. Doig, who showed by his interesting and instructive report that Bast Huron was pretty well represented et the Niagara meeting. A dieuussion then arose bebween Mr. Dolg and Thos. Gibson, M. P. P., who happened to be peewit, in wbioh the former objeateft to reducing the grant to Well Schools, and asked. the latter to ex- pluen the stand he took in the House on the Toaoheree Superannuation Fund question. Mr. Gibson proved equal to the mansion and very ably defended his position on both questions. Some other points touched upon in the delegate's re- port wore then dismissed. Mr. Doig hold that the teachers eid not receive much practical benefit i» Normal and Model Schools. Too much time was there taken rip in fine spun theories from Bald. win and Fitch. Messre. Taylor and Cornyn in reply defended the present system of training teachers Inc those schools. D. Johnston thought that teachers should have the benefits of Nor- mal training first before they began teaching. This Mau was opposed by Messrs. Taylor. Blackwell and Cornyn, the latter saying it was good enough in theory but impossible to put into prao. Roo on amount of the o.e.pense young teachers would be put to. Other points of minor interest were then brought up, after whit* Mrs. B. Kirkman, road a number of valuable extracts from a book entitled "Teachers and Teaobing." Mr. Clarkson next read a pe.per'on the "Wants and woes of Teachers," which WAS e11 rootiived. The three great WON he referred to were isolation, poverty and the yearly engagement ; for each of which he suggested remeies that would reduce the wants of teachers to a mini- mum. A motion to have the paper pub- lished is full Inc the local papers was carried by a large majority. In the Gentling au entertainment was given in the Town Hall. The program was a good one and was well carried out. There was a large attendance and the promede amounted to over 328. About 38 had to be taken out of this, however, to defray expenses. Priday'e eession began ab 9 a. 03. After the reading andadoption of the minutes of Thursday's meeting, Mr. Blaokwell read a very suggestive and praotical essay on the teaching of Com- position. Thoughts, be said, must ,jerte, code words. The first thing to do is to get the pupils to think, after which they will have little difficulty Inc getting words to express the ideas, Show pictures and get the class to talk about them. The pictures in the reeding lessons can thus bo need with great oolvantage, the teach- er making each lesson in Peet I. and Part II, of the First•Roculer the bogie of an oral language lesson. He then sug- gested many valuable kinds of exercises for third and fourth classes and highly recommended some that be had tried in his own school. JO H. Cornyn next their up the sabjeot of welting, with a elan of seven or eight pupils from the Bramble mobilo eohool. He first put some writing on the black. board and then judioionely •questioned the class and asked them to criticize errors which he put on the board similar, to those some of thorn made on their slates in oopying hiS writing. Be also read an essay on the successful teaching of writing in golicode.

Alton Anderson then read en interesting and instructive paper on Drawing. fle said the teachers should inoulocao a love of drawing in the young minds at first. Ho illustrated his points by drawings on the blaelsboard, which wore very well executed. After a few otber matters were attended tattle mooting adjourned. C. BowenzatX, Teaohor S. S.

Its broad, smooth surface, the vista effects of the Capitol and Treasury, and the gay dec. orations of the line of mooch f4V0 to tho street, whose surface has been trodden by so meny of tbo Renublic's great, the features which attracts the marching column. Tho paradere were worthy of the parade ground. No finer represen- tative body of Americans has ever been collected in the national city. The picture presented by the twenty thousand armed and uniformed knights es they =torched to stirring entitle aud performed the picturesque evolntions of their drill, exhilarated by the air and sunlight of an almost perfect autumn day, will long be remeinbered. There is no city iu the U. S., it may safely be said, where the Knights Tem- plar would have met with a heartier welcome than has been extended, to them in Washington. There is nouo whore so rare a combination of amuse- ment: and profit could lime been crowded into the brief period of the oonelave. The home of the government that counts the Knights among its most loyal citizens, iso place which none of them ought to noise seeing. Here they find the machin. ory of a groat nation at work, moving more smoothly and peacefully than the petty wheels of many a town counoil. In the laying out of the streets, in their general condition, in the tasteful archi- tecture 03314 LOOMS them on either side, in the broad lawns and generous foliage, they see the making of a model city—of 0130 vvhioh will undoubtedly be, in time, the handsomest on the globe. Every man of them will go home with o proud- er feeling end a warmer glow of .patriot. ism in his breast for the consciousness that he, as a citizen of the U. S., is a co. proprietor of this beautiful capitol. Foremost among the brilliant enter- tainments given iu honor of the strangers within our gates W8.8 the reception ten- dered the Knights and their ladies by Mrs. Geueral Logan, at hoe home aCalu. mot Place!" last evening. Tho fine old mansion, in the midst of the extensive grounds, on Columbia Heights, never before presented so gala -like all appear. arm. lolutteriug Ham of bright pennants extended from each four corners of the roof to divergent angles of the lending and the outer wells of the building were festooned and draped with flags and bunting, until little of the origiuna brick. work was visible. The mansion was completely transformed into a huge marques standing in the midst of sur- roundings resembling a grand military dieplay, while the presence of hundreds of plumed Knights in glistening uniforms and clanking swords lent a double reality to the soene. The entire suite of apaye. month on the first floor opening into the beautiful memorial hall, so ' oaored a spot to the widow and children of the dead warrior, were cleared of all obstructing articles of furniture and loft free for the guests to wander at leisure in the con. templation of tho numeroue interesting atidhietorie records deflected and won during a life of active politiesl and mill. tary honor, and treasured by hie widow with devoted, wife -like love and raver. enoe for the memory of the dead. It was estimated by Mrs, Logan that she received between 15,000 and. 14,000 people during the evening. The orowd was only °needed by the reeeption at the White House the evening before, the lino of callers extending neatly hundred feet /tom the house, additions being made to the procession by additional eommanderies arriving as foot as the pressure was relieved by the visitors passing through the home and going. When the reembers of the House of Representeaives arrived in Washington for the opening of the Thirty-third Con. gross'which ominerecl on Monday, DO. oedtber 5, 1858, they found a pressure for tho several offices within the gift of the House compared wibb whieb the strug- gles for those places in this me are feeble neleed.

It is evident that there lois been nothing added at the Capitol to the pree- mie° for Maw during this period of thil•ty. six years.

MoGregor, of Grey township, and bearing the name of Sawyer's Guido : a•-• • The Patent Review, published at Ot- tawa, says in speaking of it : "A 134W set and gauge has been patent- ed in Canada by Thomas lefoGregor, of Bruseels, Ont., on the 3rd of January, (No. 28,300). This consists or the ordin- ary saw set, which on one of its flat sides is furnished with throe short legs or pro- jections of equal length and with a set- sorew forming a fourth log of adjustable length. This screw or fourth leg is sot so meolo beak of the plano of the three other legs as it is desired to give "set" to tho teeth, and" after n, tooth has been op- erated upon, the gauge is placed with its three legs on the fiat side of the saw blade with the screw point or fourth leg exactly opposite tho point of the tooth. If the screw aloes not touch, not enough "set" has been giveo the tooth, if it touches without allowing the intermed- iate two lege to touch the blade, too much "set' has been given, and if all four legs touch evenly the "set" is cor- rect." Mr. McGregor says he has vac set. We hope his fondest hopes will be real Med and that be may make plenty of money out of his invention. Sporting News.

It may seem a little straego to write from Kenos hat I decided to settle in Mis. soma shortly After coming over but thought it wouldn't do me any harm to ran out and see friend Nott before settlizig, 1 gut from Quinoy to Clay Center, nearly 600 miles, for 816.50 and return, considerably cheaper than you or I could walk unless turnip fields were plentiful and every mile and a quarter was a corn fields When I left Brussels I bad quite made up my mind to see Kauso.s, and af ter getting as far as Quinoy I thought there was no use of swallowing 00000 and choking at the tall es I mime cm. I left Quincy at 1,50 a. no. on the Wabash route, crossed the Mississippi river before going very far and strut* right across Missouri to Kansas City, arriving there about 9,30 a. in. 11 being night time I did not got inuoh armee of setting the country so I ton unable to tell you what I think o" -,A. any more than the portion I did' ole appeared to be a good Mock conntr$ rind one sure indica- tion of that is the amount you see in travelling nlong. Kansas City is quite a busy place, very hilly and the most of it built in Missouri state. The street cars are run altogether by cable power, and it is amusing to watch the cars run- ning up and down hills, I think it is quite dodder' improvement on the horse ears. We left Kansas City at 11.45 a. m. and started for Junction City, passing Up what 38 known to the Keno valley, a very fertile tract of country. I saw 801110 of as fine farms as you would wish to look a,t. The valley extends for about 185 miles. At Junction City I took the Junction railway for Clay Center, arriving at roy destination at p. no. The country surrounding Clay Center is good and crops this year are above the average. The fore part of the season being wet and favorable to vegetation. The country just now though is very dry ancl dusty and badly in need of rain. I was in the country to.clity for dinner with Mr. Nett and got conversing with the head of the family, who, by the way, came from Canada and settled there thirty years ago. I found out he knew an uncle of mine very well so the old saying that you will meet friends or meet somebody that lcnows somebody that you know still pans out. The prairie is not what I expected to see, I thought it would bo level, but in- stead, it is rolling, in fact in some places 11 10 hilly. It won't be long until it will look like Canada. There is an old. Irish- man here, and when be gets n little "full" bas no liking for the Yaukee's and tells them that the English capitalists are over here buying up mortgages and all the industries they onn get a hold of so that it will not be long until England will own all the couutry. He hardy ex- pects the Queen wit' rule but one of her children will, so you oan give top Cone- meroial Union and need not be afraid of annexation, but rest contented that we will all be one some day. I found friend Nott well, and many WON the enquiries he made after his old friends. I wasn't the first arrival that day, however, for a few hours before band a fine bouncing boy put Inc its appearance, not by adop- tion either. I learned a short time later Wm. Johnston, John Tait's nephew, sons father of one of the same kind, so ybu see the oountry is proanotive in different respects. I forgot to mention that the town I am about to locate in has from 15,000 to 17,000 of a population and is a good town, one in which I think 1 will he abbe to work up a good practice. When I Masted I only intended dropping you a, note but I went furbher and am sorry for trespassing on your time, I may some time drop you n letter for publication, If any body enquires for 1110 givethem my best respects, and tell them I have enjoyed myself since I len, and if you will please send my papers along I will remain, Yours truly, F.
