an inch of that mark, and with four
piers in closo proximity to tho poiut

dams up the water, it is safe to

how much faster the "Atlanta Spec

The Teacher' Institute Proceedings.

Teachers' Institute will be publishod

opous December 2ud 1805 nnd con
tinues during the weok. Thero will
bo an edition of 500 and it will cir

rectors of Snyder county and elso
whero. The book will contain about
40 pages. A limited number of
pagos will be renervod for advertise
ments. Tho publication of tho second vol
ume will bo undertaken, not becauso
wo met with the proper encourago
ment hut year, but with the hopo
of getting it this year. Tho under
taking was a now ouo for this coun
ty, but it is what other counties in
this state have dono for many years
past. In ordor to iustituto a pro
gressive movement it was necessary
for us to tnako considerable of a sac
ritico of time and money and yet wo
learn from a list of last yoar's teach -crs
that 34 of them failed to sup
port tho movement. In ono district
that employs six teachers only ono
paid for a copy of tho proceedings
and that teacher was a lady. Tho
lady teachers supported the move
ment of progrossiveness more freely
than the raalo toachers, only ono
being a delinquent. The movement,
of course, was a new one and it al
ways takes tiuio to institute new
movements ana it is wan tins Ma
aud tho oucouragomont of tho ma
jority of teachers that wo again un
dertake this task. Wo aro glad to
anuouncoto the diroctors nnd pi-
t'ns that most of tho teachers sup
' u the firs'; volume and we trust
fvm,,tyfcr, Vi:ra,; will this, far

of tho records.
The names of the teachers nnd the
diroctors and the full proceedings
will bo publishod in this book. The
rico for each teacher will bo very
easonablo. Wo trust that tho eu-
tire teaching force will support this
progressive movement.

Fire at Centreville.
N Friday evening about the
nour or o o oloi-k P. M.
the lurgo bank barn of
Uriah 11. Fosslor was
totally destroyed by lire.
Tho live stock was saved,
but all his hay, fodder,
straw and the last ycur's
crop of grain in granary wero tot il
ly destroyed. Tho bam was located
just nt tho edge, south-east of town
and was a heavy framo structure. It
was claimed to bo tho best iu the
township, 40x70 foot aud 10 foot
abovo foundation, und well nigh
fillod mows and tho dry weather
mado it all tho worse for a general
conflagration.
The cry of lire, tho rinirinir of
church bells soon collected a groat
crowd, a goodly number armed with
buckets did good work and prevent
ed a Kcucrul conllu-'rution. Tin.
barn was beyond saviug at Jio
hands of tho bucket brigade, but by
directing their solo attention to
'Squiro Shinkel's stable and Mr.
Fesslor's pig ntublo and corn house,
aud saviug them, in tho face of in
tense scorching heat, they saved
them and prevented a spread of the
llamos, savo tho wugon shed east of
tho burn. This could not be saved
on account of tho intense heat and
was totally destroyed together with
a new hay rako and a few farm im
plements It looked at ono time us
if tho eastern part of tho town
would bo destroyed, but happily
thoro was not much air stirring,
otherwise ft far different story would
bo ours to report. How tho lire
originated is not known. The tiro
started in tho mow whero tho corn
foddor was sot iu duriug thu weok
a fr Arj jpryious to the tire. Mr.

the Phoenix Insurance Company, of
Hartford, Conn.
Always tako a bucket with you
whon you go to a lire, should bo
your first thought. All the surround
ing community and even many from
tho neighboring towns wero repre
sented at the tiro, and did good ser
vice. The bucket brigade is a grand
body to depend on, and till seemed
willing, yea more than willing, ns all
good peoplo aro to save and protect
home and fireside. But their work
wus specially favored by providence,
thero was scarcely any uir stirring,
and tho liro occurred curly iu the
evening about dusk, when every
body was up and astir, but this may
not always bo tho case. Should a
tiro break out on a stormy night the
greater part of our town would be
swept away. This should admonish
us that we ought to provide some
thing hotter and moro effective for
fighting and quelling tho tire demon
than ('imply the bucket. It' nothing
better, let us provide ourselves with
hooks uiul l.iililers. . . .

gro man, asked "Undo does the ves
