The Col. Pearl hou-c, at the head of Perl street, now occupied bv Dr. French, has been set down as the first framo house built in Burlington. It was the largc-t and most imposing of the framed dwellings of the early days of Burlington, but was not the first. Uncle Horace Loomis, in his recollections of Burlington, says that when his father, Phinehas Loomis, settled in Bur lington, in 1790, there were three "build ings" on what is now Water street, John Collins'.Jon whatwas afterwards the site ol the brick house of John I'omeroy, Capt. Boynton's. on what is now tho south east cirner of Water and King streets, and Capt. Gideon King's, on what is now the northeast corner ol Water and King streets. As in his allusions to the other bouses then on tho site of Burlington, he calls them "log houses," the presumption is that tbo three were framed buildings. Capt. Bcyn-ton-. is elsewhere described as 'a largo Iranie hou-e, low on the ground." In 17o0. Mr Loomis says that Frederick Sax- ton "made a beginning of the old Pearl houe" the inference being that it was not completed till a later dote. In the summer of 1790, Phinebas Loouiis put up and mov ed into the house on tbo corner of Pearl and Williams streets now occupied by Edward C. Loomis. This house thus contest- tho claim of antiquity with the Pearl bou-o, and retains more of its ancient ma terials and proportions than tho Pearl house, of which only the old frame remains, and that altered by raising the storic. Some of the old wide clap-board nill re main on Mr. Loomis's house, and it is, wo suppose, the only house erected by on" of the pioneers ol Burlington, which has re mained continuously in the occupancy and ownership of his descendants. When it was built. c have been told, it stood in a clearing, and it was twelve years after bo fore the forest was cut away between it and the lake, so that the lake was viiible from tho bonso.

On motion, the report was accepted and adopted and tho committee was discharged. Prof. Pollens said that he had been elect ed State Editor of the Journal of Education very unexpectedly to himself, and requested the aid of tho teachers present in his diffi cult and unrcmuncrativc task. The resolutions, already published, wero then taken up, dicus-cd and pissed seria tim. The chairman then introduced to theau dience Edward Conant, State Superintend ent of Education, who spoke as follows : ur. coxat's address. Sinco tho last meeting of this Association the Superintendent has spent the greater part ot his timo in going to and fro about the State. Entering upon his work with firm faith in the people, tho Stato and its insti tutions, his faith has grown from day to day. Vermont has a school system not new in tho sense oT being recently dcvicd and adopted, and not old in the sense of being antiquated and valueless. It has had a vigorous growth and development. The original provisions w ere that teachers should nstruct tncir nuniis in rcauinir. writintr and arithmetic and thc-c arc the founda tions of all knowledge. Starting from such a seed and having such n power of growth, the common school system has grown im mensely. Instead ot three, ten studicsare now required to bo taught. Prior 10 1811 the only provision in our htatelor the es tablishment of common schools was that of one district school for raeh district. In that year a law was passed, permitting several uistrict3 to unito in a school for more advanced pupils In ldll alaw was pat-ed permitting any district in which one school was lound insuthcient to establish such number of schools as tho citi zens might desire, such studies to be taught. also, as they might wish. This is the ori gin of our graded schools. At that time thero were no graded schools and no high schools. Less than thirty-two years havo pas-ed away and not less than thirty-fne graded schools now exist. In each ot the twenty-six towns in this State having live hundred or more families there is a high school. Here is progress and development. From these facts we may infer what is to be expected in the future. Mr. Conant sugcted as studies that would (irobably bo added to the common icbool ourcc in the not distant lu- turc the history and lundamcntal laws of this country: some branches of chemistry; mineralogy, geology, botany, anatomy and phjsiology. Ho hoped to see soon in all the towns ol the State schools corrc-ponding to great extent to the poramon di-tnct schools, but of a much biaher character. These must necessarily be primary schools, mainly, renderinc necessary tho establish ment ol free high schools. And no great time will elapse before every town in the State having a population of eight hundred or otct will maintain t-uch a school. self-ctltcre. Mrs. O. 11. Kile, of Essex, next read a lively and interesting paper on self-culture. Its opening list ol tho matters in re ard to which she should li ke, if she wero able, to give some hints to teachers, was a quiet satiro on the lack of culture among teach ers, which would only be spoiled m an ab stract The same may be said of her pic ture of the "Popular Teacher." She said the world is fall of helps to culture. One who really desires to improve can find the means. Town iinraries arc nos picnij- m Vermont , but yet in the towns where rich dress goods are sold, books are sold also, and tbo young womm who can afford a cashmere dress with a hundred yards more or less of knife pleating on it, and can have ner photograph taken once a quarter, can buy some good books, if she will go without the trimminir. The teacher needs society and society needs the teacher. We must start in tho marcn oi lmproicmeui Iroiu the thresholds of our own bouses. and mu-t beware of short cuts across lots. Teaching is not a trick to be learnt d in a few hours at an educational convention, or a tiado to be gained in thrco months at a normal -chool. It is rather a profession tho work of a lifetime It is good to com paro ourselves with heroic men and women and to be in tbo pre-ence of genius, cither in men or books Newspapers are good in their place, but their constant company is dcmoraliiinr To secure the means of cul ture oltcn requires money ; and teachers are olten themselves to blame that they da not have more of it. Ihcy should make their services worth better prices, and should get liettcr prices. Mrs. Kile's paper closed abruptly, with an apology lor Dot bating completed it, owing to want ol time. It was followed by hearty ap plause "csnteel eclie." The next and la-t paper of the meeting was by Uev. L. G. Ware, on "Genteel Eng lish." This phrase, he said, is itself an in stance of the poor kind of speaking and writing which he was to describe, and which should be left to the "genteel" peo ple who never live anywhere, but aro al ways "located" somewhere, and who never go to bed, but, in-tcad,"rcire." Tho word genteel exemplifies the degeneration of words. It comes from gentle, which with Spenser and Shakespeare was noble, high bred. Changed to genteel, it becomes low bred, fooli-h, vulgar. As lato as forty years ago. genteel had not reached the pass to which it has como in our day. All know tho genteel English people de-cribed by Dickcn. and how they differ from the truly high-bred. It is puzzling to desenbj just in what genteel English consi-ts ; h.o ir ensile recognize it by examples It is marked sometimes by the uscof sounding u-nrris nf Latin derivation lor the homely Sixon. Yet it will by no means do to dis card the L.ann anu oruwu um wim which our language nas ocen cantucu.

We have a right to cry out against gcntccl English, because it is a sham, an affectation of education that is not possessed. It is part ot the at tempt to pas-s for something more than one is worth which is a crjiog evil ol our time. The lorger, who. writing from prison, al luded to hijerimes as hia "irregularities,' shoxs us that there may bo a relation bc teen thieves' English and genteel Eng lish. Wc may lower thestjlo of conscience as well as ol spctch by such omitting to give things their right names, and when our English becomes thus perverted, it is time that gentle folk and it part company. Mr Ware's paper was full ul touches of humor, and was fresh and original and en tertaining in a high decree It was re ceived ith applause.

Schenck's Pulmonic Grnp alone has cured many, as these evidences w!l show ; but the cure is often promoted by tbe employment of two ether remedies which Dr. Scbenck provides for the purpose. 1 bese ad. ditional remed.es are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills By tbe tlmele use of these medicines, according to directions.
