one runaway. Pulling up at the t-alatial

The good old lady did not receive the new

but to remove the encumbrance. Through
this means the poor little waif was returned

We are happy to say that both Chandler

As Jie was now the property of a printer, he
felt it a duty be owed his mister to get some
insight into'the business at once. After in

BURLLNOTOlSr. VT., FRIDAY MORNINGr. FEBRUARY 6.
A Tale fur tir Monlaaa Marines.
Sam Hobart related to us the followingfish
story, which he says is true in cvey mrticular,
as he is keen to testify. He says that having
heard a variety of opinions expressed as to
whether a frozen fish coald be resuscitated,
he determined to try the experiment to his
own sati-raction. 'With this object in view
he wrote to a friend in California to send
him a fine healthy fish in a frozen state.
Day before ye-terday his fish arrived, and,
much to his astonishment, he found it to lie
a sturgeon about six feet in length, neatly
se. red up in a lot of gunny sacks. Sa large
an heavy was it that he was obliged to en
gae an express w3gon to convey it to his
residence, near the upper end of Lnion street.
When he reached home his wife was out,
Bridget was out, and even his Chinese cook
was absent. Where to put the fish to prop
erly preserve it until he had leisure to begin
his experiments upon it he did not know.
At last, however, a bright idea occurred to
him. Ho had it orried into the bath room,
pulled the gunny sacks off it, and,
stretching it oat in the bath-tub, turned on
the cold water. When the tub was nearly
full he packed in aliout his dormant" whale "
a lot ot snow and ice, in order that it should
be kept as near the freezing-Iioint as possible.
This done.hecamo down town to attend to
business. As we don't can) to a-sume the
responsibility, we shall let him tell the re
mainder of the story
"That night a friend insi-Kslon my going
to the lodge with him, and forgetting all
about the fish, I sent a lure to inform my wife
that she need not sit up" lor me. Now of
cour-e she would sit up, but that was all
riMit us long is she knew where I had gone.
About ten o'clo.-k wife and llridget were
talking nuict'y or Foster, spiritinlism-and
the like, '"hen there began to lie heard
a tremendous thrashing and lian'ing ae
wherc in the house. The noise was finally
traced to the liath-rooni. Hearing tne
terrible -plurging and splashing within, the
terrified women grew white as ghosts ; and
when my vv ife sugge-ted that -ome one might
have gone in there and committed suicide
Bridget's teeth chattered audibly, and her
hands shook to such an extent that -he could
hardly hold the candle. The women low
shouted loudly for John, the Chinaman
John came Irom the kitchen. Isild as a lion,
but when be heard the horrible noise in the
liath-room turned very blue a!nt tlie gills.
Being onlered by niyw ife to open the door
of the room, John hesitated, and -ceing the
women drav leick said. 'What vnu call him
in the lath-room ?' Ju-t then there came a
tremendous thump un the tloor a whack
upon the door, which flew open, and out
came the huge stargeon bead first . 'Too-na
mucka hi lo-o'' cried John 'llnvvly Mother
preserve us'' shrieked Bridget 'lioil help
u-'' cried my wife, as the fish turned a
a summerset," throwing itself several feet
into the air A grand stampede fur the
front d mr now occurred. 1 had
reached the gate as the Chinaman Isiunded
out with a terrible 'Too-na mucka' ' after
the him women, and after them, head
first down the steps, the fish, every tin erect
and bis tail la-hiug the nir. At the next
plunge the frantic fish knocked me down,
tassedover me through the gate, and out
into Fnion street. I took after him. but
the steep cro- street standing almost at an
angle of forty-five degrees, and being covered
with ice, 1 could keep him in sight no further
than C -treet. He crossed (' street with
a great leap, passing some feet over the
heads of a sleigh load of ladie- The ladie--aw
the monster and at once -et up a i rv
that their driver had the jim-jains and,
in spite of all he could say for bina-elf and
hi- protestations that he had seen nothing,
made him turn almut and drive them home.
Bushing on I nexf heard a number of piercing
scream- from the lioys and girls coasting
along I'nion Mow E street, and knew that
the monster fish must have dashed through
among them like a streak of greased light
ning. Then, an instant after, came up a
-ucce-ion of uneathly yells froni the Mon
golian quarter of the town. 'Hi yah 1 r.xi
na mucka hi-lo-o-o ' -hieked fifty Cete-tial-'
throat- at once. As I gave up the cha-e
and turned about for home there began in
Chinatown the most tremendous fusillade of
firecrackers I ever Jheard , the whole town
seemed a-hlaze with lire and colured lantern-.
This morning I learned from a man who
came np from the Carson Valley taillnjr
mill tliat thefish passed there about half-past
eleven o'clock last night, at railroad speed,
lieing carried acro-s the snowy valley by the
impetus acquired in darting down theslippery
tmughtofSix Miles Canyon. The sturgeon
went into Carson Biver with a tremenAius
spla-h. and ere this is doubtless frightening
the small fry of Carson Lake half out of
their win. "After all this, never tell me

to cut four? The case has lieen adjourned tn

The first discussion was o.i the subject of
" Modern School Work as related to the de
velopment of thought in the pupil." It
wa? opened by C. S. Hal-ey, of Burling
ton. ME. U.U--tV 3 REJ1AEKS.
In the development of new arts and scien
ces there is much to arou-e and stimulate
the pupil ; modern systems develop indc
pendeuceof thought. Thepupil has means
of knowledge independent of his teacher.
The qualification of the teacher is not sim
ply to have knowledge, but to have skill in
teachinir. He must be prepared for his
work. Less knowledge ami more skill in
teaching the better. The mo-t depends
upon whether the teacher can wake up the
mind of the scholar. The profession has
been degraded ny tho-e. who have not learn
ed how to teach. If modern school work
isadaptclto the development of thought,
why have there not been produced geniuses
like men of old? These arc not needed
now. There are men eminent in all the va
rious pursuits at the present time, but un
liko the special development of old, wo have
general iiitelliget.ee and diffusion of knowl
edge. It is more ueful that the whole com
muuit) should be generally educated than
that there should be a few preeminent for
their learning. The price of education is
time.of which our American peoplo arc too
parsimonious for tho be-t results. 'Ilia
duty of the teacher is to ce that the pupil
exerci-es his mind. Books are lictter than
oral teaching because the pupil luu-t do
the work. No method uf naching makes
the teacher. The teacher might also be
-aid to lie born. He mu-t have the spirit
of teaching, and with the modern uicthod
be will -how the be-t results.
ME. LEWES. WORTH'S REMARKS.
.Mr. Hal-ey was followed by Mr. Leaven
worth of New Haven, who agreed quite
fully with mo-t of the v iews presented by
theprevious -peaker. He thought, how
ever, that the school rtioiu was a good place
fur the training of the teacher, and -poke
of Mr. Halsey as a good example of -uch
training. ,The scholars in our common
schools are not taught to think. They go
over a great deal ol ground, but it is run
over, and the power of thought is actually
weakened by the method of instruction pur
sued. A gentleman had said that he thought
he received, as a boy, more mental disci
pline in contriving how to e-capc from
learning bis lesson-, than he ever did from
the lessons them-elves or the instruction
founded upou then. Pupil-should be given
time to think the teacher should not think
for him. It i- not the amount of work we
do in the school room, but the character of

VITERNOO.
The exern-es were opened by the discus
sion betwc n Prof. J. E Goodrich, of Bur
lington, and Prof Edward Conant.of Ban
dolph, sutijeet " One Normal School for
Vermont, or Fourteen."
Mr Goodrich argued that wo needed but
one Normal School , we have three. While
he had a hili appreciation of much of the
work done thus far, he vvasol tho opinion
also that we had lo-t some time in trying to
" make bricks without straw." Originally
but one Normal school was contemplated,
this was the design ot ex-Secretary Adams,
but the Irfgi-laturc inisteJ upon time
schools. These schools are now each in the
receipt of $1,300 State aid. The speaker
forcibly argued that he would have but one
-Normal sic-bool. as he would nave nut une
College -o generou-ly endowed as to afford
competent teachers, and to secure full in
struction m all the branches required.
Proi. ii.uslrich w a-follow cal by Profe or
C.ioant, .it Bandulph. who remarked that
the true purp-i-e of Normal teaching was
t.i teach -abject matter and to teach meth
ods It we have but om school wo can
teach only methods, and the number of pu
pils will be small. W c mu-t undo what has
lieen done already, and begin anew. One
school would not he adequate to the vvark
as it exi-t-.
The Bev. B ti 'ViUi.ims, ol Cits
tleton, thought one school not though.
Pup-is must lie taught acconling to their
age : and the failure of nine teachers out of
ten toappreciato this necessity mado it im
portant that the teaching of subject matter
hould lie followed by careful instruction in
the proper method of teaching. Bev. II.
T. Fuller, of St. Johnshurv, desired that
the Legislature might lie memorialized on
the sunject of endowing uitr school that
would be equal to satisfying Prof. Good
rich's idea of a complete and e'Heient Nor
mal S'hool.

eeuarks or mh. vim tys.
The State justly exercises the authority to
say that schools shall be maintained, bow
man)' and ol what character. It may de
cide what shall bo taught its future citizen.
The State ma justly prescribe what shall
be the qualifications ol teachers The State
may require her schools to be just what -he
plea-es to have them, and may impu-fl com
pulsory education upon her children tliat
they may be fitted to executa the duties
herealtcr to devolve upon them. Ma-sa-chusetts,
l'.ho-Je I-land and several other
States have adopted compulsory education.
He believed in a government of the people
by the people, but Wlieved the State to lie
larger than the school district. Thecau-e
of education snould not bo left to the mercy
of that halt a dozen men ut a -cnooi uis
trict who vote for the lewest possible weeks
of school and the cheapest tesehcr that can
Ih obtained.
P.EM IRKS ol UR. SAVACE.
A. B. Savage, of Sorthfifld. was the
noxt speaker.
This question of the mutual relation of
tbu school and the state is one destined to
occupy a very prominent position in our
legl-Iattvo councils. ineruaru looso mho
advocate that there should be no connee-
tionbetwecn school ard state, and it Ver
mont does not take caro of her public
schools they will bo destroyed. The State
has the right to say that licr people snail tie
educated. We flatter ourselves that the
people ol ermnnt nro a well educated peo
plo, and sj they arc in comparison with the
people of some other lands, but there are
17,000 people in this State, over ten years of
age, who can neither re-ad nor write. Our
legislature should tie educated men and a
common school education is not sufficient
lor those who mako the la-vs for a state.
There is a reinarkahlo connection be
tween ignorance and crime. A large Kir
tiuii of tho inmates of our prisons are illit
crate persons. It is cheaper t' build school
houses than prisons.
Our school teachers, many of them, arc
poorly qualified for the position they seek
to fill. 1'hey are no more fitted, hy their
mental acquisitions, to enter a school house
as teachers, than they are to fill tl.o chair of
a college professor.
The speaker believed in a compul-ory law,
and a more stringent one than the State
now has. There arc parents as widows
who are not able to compel their children
to attend school, and the strong arm of the
State should be employed. An uneducated
ballot is the winding sheet or liberty.
ADDRESS or SECRETARY FRENCH.

nrcrae more than eight pupiN. The school
year f hould be lengthened ; we suffer from
tbe constant change of teachers. The evil
ot unequal taxation and inadequate super
vision was discussed. Tho taxation varies
in localities from 0 to 435 per cent. The
demands of tho time are more regular at
tendance, a larger school year, and much
letter teachers. The State should regulate
private schooli and insist on competent
teachers. The town system of school su
pervision is inadequate. We need county
superintendents. The school tax should be
laid hy the State, and the host of small
schools f-hould be consolidated ; a course of
study should be prescribed hv legislative
action for our schools. Xfe should adopt
the town system, and the Legislature at its
next Mission ought to abolish onr District
system.
In conclusion Dr. French said we need
increased facilities for the education o
teachers, legislative authority for the night
schools ; we need intermediate supervision,
and a state tax, and then we shall have a
state y.tem of education second to that of
no other state.

Kev. II. T. Fuller, of St. Johnsbury. next
spoke upon the Morals of our Public
Schools." He thought there was need of a
1-etter and higher moral tone in our private
schools. Thechildren in the public scIh-oIs
mast and do come together. Ilere, then, is
not only association but assimilation. The
tendency of the teaching is to level down
ward. Profanity and many kinds of im
morality are too prevalent, and many pa
rents will not eml their children to the
public schools on account of the contami
nation to which they are there expo-cd.
The teacher makes his impress on the
plastic minds of his young pupils. They
tollow upon our heels in whatever paths we
choose to pursue. Tho teacher should be a
model for his pupils. His invariable kind
necs, courtesy and good temper should, and
will if exhibited, exert a present and a lut
ing influence on the pupils.

ident I.uekhani Ween, entire the very
complete report of the St. Albans AJcrrttst r.
1'rlsiikt nrcKimt's address.
He bean his address bv savins that the
common thought of a comparatively primi
tive country, ot one that ncetleu ueveiop
ment, that wanted cultivation, was " the
U'e-'t," that in his own opinion, however,
Vermont socially, commerciallVt and intel
lectually had a wealth of undeveloped rc-
sourcesufficient to givegloriousand worthy
work for true teachers to devote theiu-elves
to in the future. Hoth the power and the
opportunity was at tbe earnest teacher's
hand. The Vermont character was a good
character, that is its leading constituents
were both substantial and strong, but it
was marred by many serious blemishes that
n.i! r. :a. ..:.!..
would di-annear onlv with a more widely
disseminated intellectual cultivation. The
Vcrmonter was in physique strong, and
hardy ; in mind not brilliant, nor of line or
quick intuitious, but sagacijUH, solid, and
igurous e!f-containeil. rather hard and
undcmontratie in manner, the antipodes
of thesurfaee emotional, in ".hurt, ju-t the
nature that i.mo?t ulTenive and disagreea
ble uncultured, and mot admirable when
by the attrition of all bles-ed educational
influences the diamond in the rough grows
into the polL-hed gem. The ernionti-r was
a curious bundle of contradictions He was
lull of strong conviction's and equally
strong prejudices, and his prejudices were
frequently mi violent that the line between
prejudice and conviction was a light a- that
between genius and insanity. He wasfirm
ly bent on getting an education because bis
nativesense -aid it would pay . at the -ame
time in his ,4w ild" state he hated and look
ed with sour suspicion on all the refinements
that wert inseparable from this very cduca
tion he-ought to utilize. He wasunamia
ble, rude inspcech,uncouth,ad even when
he successfully sought after scholarship he
never surrendered a single barbaric trait
w ithout a everc inw ard struggle, lleneath
his superficial coldness and strem ing coarse
haired cynicism he concealed a deep well of
strong feeling that once stirred into excite
ment was not easily quelled; the country
had no I-ctter fighters for its unity than
started up by one common i:npulee from
among your proverbially cold-blooded.non-poetic
Vermonter, and Chicago had no
more generous givers than this State, whose
rt-putatiun i rather for pnrsimony than for
liberality. And yet on the scatf dding of
this unlovely, primitive character, cxperi
eneehad shown that culture had built u.ble
edifice' of manhood, that out ot this unique
compound of superficial coldness and
latent glow, of outward uneouthne-s, and
fine enthusia-m in deep reserve, had been
wrought the highest and most beneficent
types of American humanity. This pecu
liarity of Vermont character that even in
its un loveliness leaned toward strength and
permanence made it excellent stock, wheth
er to gather good fruit of to graft upon,
lie.-ides the native Vermont character that
needed all that the teacher could lavish upon
it, there was thelri-h element in our popu
lation in prai-e and defence of which from
unfair detraction tho speaker sjntke with a
manful, independent fearlessness and truth
fulness that wo have come to rccognue as a
leading characteristic of his nature. Presi
dent liuckh im we believe is RngHh born,
but fie is the most radical of Americans in
his spirit of perfect civil justice and tolera
tion. Under hisownolwrnation, the "wild
IrUhman" was both a brighter and a more
politcand correct talking man than the
wild' Vermonter when captured on his
native hills innocent of education or expe
rience. The Irish scholar was quick and
aptatscloul, and his mingling with our
r.ti !!. riiuld adl. what the Vermonter
wanted so ladly, vcrsatilittf. The faults of
the Irish race he wasconlidont would disap
pear the longer they were removed in time
from the injurious effects of the degrading
tyranny ana universal ignorance mey
in .stupor under at home. We must not
forget to mention the President lluckham
in the cour.-e of his lecture with character
istic good sense rejected the snobbish theory
that Iteauty is a thingof rist.eratie lineage
entirely, boldly appealing to h'n audience
to know if they had not often seen, in a
rude Vermont village, young men whose
forms and faces would at lea-t equal tne
Kussiar Alexis thrit New York raved over,
and maidens whose full orfujd leauty fell
nothing short of the lovclitiesv of Alexan
dra lKI.irc whom Kagland kneeled, and
whose praises 'IVnnyson sung. For the
truth of the lir-t p:irt of this statement, he
would fearlessly appeal to any young wo
man in the audience, and any joung man
should he the itidye of the ret of it
The responsibility for the proper utiliza
tion of all this eccentricjet -plendid ma
terial was with the teacher of every -sort
in Vermont, in the press, in the pulpit, in
the chool. The.excellence of a schtol was
dependent on the intellectual and moral
energy of it" teacher ; and further the dif

President liuckham vigorously and wittily
protested against the vile interpretation of
the word til urate" as meaning " to draw
out. He satirized that method of4 teach
ing" that seemed as it were to apply a
stomach puuid to a child, plung it to the
extent almost of evisceration of one who is
treated as a patient rather than n pupil,
educate meant to ' lead forth, believing
with Humboldt that education meant n fin
ished, not an cjhauriated man. And so in
conclusion the President in eloquent lan
guage reminded the teachers there was not
small school house in any bleak four
corners' in Vermont that the devotion of
any gifted woman or man that chanced to
be iw teacher might not be stimulating, in
siiirinf some now mute, inglorious

have done no justice to President Buckham's
able and beautiful address. Many are able,
mnnvnre cntertainintr.some few instructive.
and President lluckham is all three. Hu
was the man for the hour, and ho spoke the
thought for the hour at a time when it is
severely needed, fur it is time the people
honored simple money makers and riches
less, and its worthy leacfiers of all profes
sions more. President Buckham is the best
loiblic sneaker for distinct impressive euun
ciation and unaffected ness of manner in
theStato,o faraswe know, a rare merit by
the way. May we never lose him from that
Vermont whose faults he sees no more clear
ly than her virtues, and for whose develop
ment he is certain to do so much if we only
oneu nur ears to his frank vet courteous
protest against the fanatical utilitarianism
i.r Urn time that is so patent as to make an
enthusiastic admirer of Vermont write the

The addre-s was a calm, weIlUige.ted ar
gument in lavor of iriving to the modern
languages of French and tlenr.an the place
now occupied o exclusively, in most ot our
schools and college, by theso-cnUcd clas
sics." Prof. Pollens is himself an accurate
classical scholar, and speaks from no mere
nrefudiee in faor of pet' tudie and
we fi-tened tj his address with a feelmi
sincere nieasnpo that ronvincin-r a plea
in favor of modern languages should come
from one who has studied and taught the
claries all Ins life. Prof. Pollens position
i simply this : Wbilea thorough knowledge

sics they gather in their oriel s;uaeni ex

the commonplace, and, we arc sorry to siy,
too commonly accepted arguments offered
in proof of the importance and superiority
of this thin classical training of our school-,
and demonstrated that no reaon could be
offered In favor of this persistent preying
upon the pupU of Latin and fireek that
could not te more forcibly urged in favor ot
the more modern language. HLs view is
that the best way to master Knrjlhh fer
writing and speaking is to study ftiylish,
and insisted, we think justly .that thos who
wielded English best won their skill just in
this way. One thing is pretty certain
that is that great classiral scholars are qoitr
frequently the authors of elumy,awkwa. 1,
lifeless English, w hile those who have
wrought the most wonders with English
speech are those whoc only or chief classi
cal studies were English books and Enitlfc-h
men. The time has been when the study
the original classics was exceedingly useful
and important, but that time has long past,
and the study of modern languages gives
the student in mere discipline ot memoriz
ing, construing. &c, all that is claimed for
theancients" and gives him a va-t amount
of modern, new knowledge that he could not
win in any other way; we pa-s oerthe
practical claims of tierman and French as
a social and commercial speech ot groat
utility toany educated man in this country
The classics jjive no knowledge that is not

absolutely accurate English translations ; a
schoUr who would keep up with the pro
gress of the best modern thought, whet'ier
art, philosophy, science, criticism, in short
all good literature -sorely needs to know
both tiermau ami rrench, lor much that is j
het in them is either neer translated, or
long delayed, or HorIy executed. The
practical difference between one who
knows" and one who doesn't" was illus
trated by the fact that all tiermany marched
on France arined with an almost universal
knowledge ot France, its topography and
its resources, amassed bv the widespread
knowledge of the French language, while
theaveragc Frenchman was as ignorant of
his enemy's situation and military capaci
ties as he was of the " Open Polar Sea,
and the result was modern LnoicUdtje rapid
ly conquered modern ignorance. The clas
sics of France and (iermany embraced a va
riety and perfection of literary merit that
suriased that orantiquity in being4worth
the most" in every respect for the average
mod irn student's purpose and his limited
career of training. It you would know
English from other languages the French
nod the German are far more interesting its
sourccsof inquiry than the classics. We
confess while always partial to the study of
the classics wo have for years felt with Prof.
Pollens that they ought togiveway to mod
ern languages in our schools and colleges.
The classics give no mental discipline that
the modern tongues do not give ; they cer
tainly give no knowledge that is not better
attainable in an easier way. There 1ms
much nonsense been written about the ex
ceptional, peculiar value of the classics to
the student, and much of it has passed into
general acceptation and reverent beliefjut
