THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
The Teath Annual Institute of the
Teachers of Hancock county closed on
Friday evening of last week. The ses
sion throughout was one of the tno?t in
teresting aud successful ever held. There
were not as many teachers enrolled this
year, but Those that were present mani
fested a di-en interest in all that was said
and done. The whole number present .
tiiis year v.as on;? hundred and thirty.
The Executive Committee til-played ex
cellent judgment iu s-lecti:ig iustructoiS)
for tli" work of this year. With the ex
c pt;on of Mr. Harper, the others were
new men, but tliey were educators of
intelligence and ability. The work of
Professor Mendenhall was confined to
giving instruction on tha subjects of
Arithmetic;, Physics and G.-ography.
Ou Wednesday evening he delivered a
most inter- -ring lecture on "Tlie Mag
netic Nee.!!-." illustrating his subject by
many beautiful and comprehensive ex
periments. On Friday evening Prof.
Mendenhall delivered his second evening
lecture, taking for his theme "The
Transit of Venus," which takes place on
the 8th inst. Professor Mendenhall'
lectures were attended by large and ap
prec'u t've audiances. His instruction
throughout was of the most valuable
character, and was all fresh and interest
ing. It would be a good plan for the
Executive Committee to secure him for
another year.
in Thursday evening Professor Albert
H. Tuttle, of Columbus, Ohio, delivered
a lecture on the "The Forms of Animal
Life. This lecture was illustrated by
drawings on the blackboard, and was
listened to with marked attention to its
close. Professor Tuttle is one of the
youngest of Ohio's scientists, but he un
doubtedly has a brilliant future before
him.
Professor J. C. Harper, of Newark,
gave instruction on Grammar, Theory
and Practice, and the general principles
of teaching. He gave some very prac
tical instruction, and the attention
which was paid to what he said showed
that his efforts were appreciated.
On Thursday afternoon the following
officers were elected for the ensuing year :
IresidentJ. A. Pittsford.
17-e Pres.Jno. Toe. J. R. Kagy,
Sallie J..Crumrine.
Sev'y Jennie T. Ford.
These officers constitute the Executive
Committee.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed:
FINDLAY, OHIO, Nov. 27, 1874.
.Vr. Prr.-Hent and Mimb'n of Vie ffnneoek
Cuaiit; Tearher't Iiwtitutr:
We. having been appointed a Corumit-
t.'e on R 'solutions, beg leave to submit
tlie following:
Whereas, In time past, we have rec
ognized in. the teaching profession a
painful want of union of desire nnd pur
pose, a lack of that fellowship, harmony
and good feeling, which should exist
among those, who set themselves np as
examples to others. Since we realize
the vital importance of the adoption ot
correct methods of instruction in our
schools, and since we believe this, the
Tenth Annual Session of our Institute,
bus been at once promotive of our social,
intellectual and moral nature, and be
cause we lielu ve we have had presented
to ns methods of instruction which are
decidedly superior to those which we
hitherto followed; therefore, be it
lleS'ilt-fi. That the present has been
at once one of the most interesting, in
structive and beueficial sessions which
this Association has ever held.
JlriKilced, That for the advantages de
rived by the teachers of the county from
the session of the In titute. we are very
largely indebted t) Superint mdent J.
C. Harper, of Newark, and Professor T.
C. Mendenhall, of Columbus, both for
the excellent instruction given by them,
and for what is more necessary among
us. the clearness and simplicity with
which the several lectures were delivered
llexoleed. That the heartfelt thanks
of the Association are tendered these
gentlemen for their untiring efforts to
make the present session of our Institute
a success.
Rtxoleed, That members of the Insti
tute acknowledge a compliment in tlie
voluntary visit of Professor Tuttle, of
Columbus, and express their thanks for
his services, which have greatly added
to the interest nnd beuettt of the Insti
tute. liasolred. That, as far as it has been
in the power of our able instructors to
make it so, this, he Tenth Annual Ses
sion of the Teacher's Institute, has been
a snccess; we regret, however, that the
teachers of the county do not enter into
the spirit of Institute work with more
zest and energy, thus making each re
turning session a lasting benefit to all in
attendance.
Hesnlred, That proper classification is
essential to the best interests of educa
tion and success in teaching, and that it
is the duty of all teachers in country
districts to use their influence with
Boards of Education to secure a uniform
series of text books in their respective
townships.
RextJeed, That every teacher should
be a subscriber for and a reader of some
good educational journal.
Resulted, That we urge upon the
teachers the importance of becoming fa
miliar with the Metric System of weights
and measures.
Ihxoleed. That hi the absence of regu
lar normal and professional training,
other than that afforded by the County
Institute, we do earnestly recommend to
the teachers of the county the necessity
of attending the annual sessions of the
said Institnte.
Rewired, That the interests of Edu
cation demand that the County Exam
iners keep the standard of qualifications
as high as practicable.
llexolred. That the time of holding
the annual session of the Institute be
changed from November to August.

Flight of Jail Birds!
TWO PERSONS ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
In the Pursuit Another is Captured.
SOME SHARP PRACTICE.
About six o'clock last Wednesday
morninz. Hugh Chaix and Fremoxt
Teroer, confined in the county jail to
wait trial before the Common Fleas
Court on a charge of stealing clover
seed, made their escape. These "lark-
ies" had made a similar effort one night
last week, but failed. On Wednesday
morning, Chais and Verger arose very
early and secreted themselves in the cell
next to the door that enters the ball in
front of the tier of cells. Their coats
and boots were hung on the door of the
cells in which they sleep, aud exery thing
appeared as if they were still in bed.
When Sheriff Hexrt ente.-ed the jail,
for the purpose of waking the prisoners
and making examinations, he passed
throuch the hall and went into the cell
at the north end. Scarcely had he dis
appeared in the nanow apartment when
Ykrgkr and Chaix slipped out through
the main door into the Sheriff's house,
and from thence into the street. On
discovering the escape, Mr. Hexrt
gave chase, but too late to catch the fu
gitives. They ran over to North find
lay to the house of a relation of Chaix,
where they were supplied with boots,
having left theirs behind, making the
journey in their stocking feet. The Sher
iff was close behind, however, and they
were compelled to take to the flelds,and
thus made good their escape. In the
search for the boy?, Sheriff HEXRT dis
covered and arrested young Jim. Chaix,
another of the parties engaged in theclo
verseed stealing, and brought him over
and lojged him in jail, thus losing two
and catching one. The escape was well
planned, and the manner in which their
clothing was arranged, showed that the
boys ha 1 studied the ma'.t.r carefu'.ly.
While it was highly Jprobable that the
ruse would have deceived the shrewdest
officer, and led him to believe that the
fellows were in bed, yet under oil cir
cumstances the proper thing for tl.e
Sheriff to do is to lock the door behind
him when he enters the jail, especially
when there are a number of persons
confined. A rush on him might be at
tempted at any time ; but if the doors
were properly secured, the chances aie
that no escape would be effected. He
should at all events see that all outside
doors are fastened before he goes among
the prisoners. We believe that thia
last escape U due the negligence of the
Sheriff in this particular, and hereafter
he should guard against a repetition of
it
The Amateur Entertainment.
The entertainment given by the ¬
teurs, for the benefit of the Cornet
Band, last Wednesday evening, was in
all results a complete success, ihe
young people rendered their different
Darts very creditable, and received, as
they deserved, the many hearty rounds
of applause from the large audience as
sembled. The entertainment was re
peated last evening to & good house.
The results of the two evenings were
quite large.
