'I-‘Ills useful association begun its twenty-
fonrth annual session 'l‘uesd-.iy,August 16th, in
the Hall of lloprescutatives at New Haven.-
It is estimated that nearly five hundred teach-
ers and friends of education, representing thir-
teen different States, were present. The Conl-
mittec of Arrangements provided accommoda-
tidns for more than two hundred and fifty ladies.
During all the meetings the large Hall Was
crowded, notwithstanding heavy and continued
rains each day. _
Gideon F. Thayer, Esq., of Boston, the Presi-
dent took the chair _; and Rev. Dr. Mitchel Of
New Haven offered prayer. Mr. BRFU9-Id the
State Superintendant welcomed the Inst-itl1let0
the State in a pleasing address; James F- Bab‘
cock, Esq. ofNew Haven. made a similar speech
in behalf of the City. He was followed by the
venerable Prof. Silliman, as 21 1‘9Pl‘°5°nt“tlV° of
Yale C011;-go, To those speeches of welcpme,
me Preaidem; replied in a very happy strain.
The Journal of last annual meeting, the Con-
smution reports of Treasurer, the Censors and
Directors were read. The Com. on Prizes,
aw“-aed the fn'st of $25, to E. A. H. Allen of
Trov. for an essay on the “ Symmetrical Devel-
opeincnt of the Mental Faculties ;” and the
third prize of $10, to Cyrus.Peirce of Waltham,
Mass; for an essay on “Crin1c." The second
prize was not awarded. "
The first essay, considered the mental facul-
ties, divided into two classes-—the perceptive
and reflective, of which the former gather up
the materials of wisdom, and the latter mould
them into the form of the goddess. The pet‘-
ecptives should be first cultivated ; but I101 3‘
the expense of the reflective.
In the afternoon J. D. Philbrick, Esq. of 0111‘
State Normal School, lectured on the “ Ad-
vancement of Common School Education.” In
remarking upon the great improvements in
common schools during the last twenty years,
he said that if we coiiipai-e the best public
schools of the present day. with tilt‘-il'00mll10dl'
ous buildings and teachers entirely devoted to
the work. with those of past _vral‘-‘i “'9 5119-“
cease to complain that public vductltioll 1185
made no progress. But much was still requir-
ed ; particularly -.1 more efficient system of
moral and religious culture. In this particular
we are not up to the standard of our forefath‘
ers, who made virtue the prime object ofattain-
ment ; the lecturer also alluded to the defect in
physical education. But our limits forbid a
further analysis.
After the lecture an interesting discussion
upon physical education arose ; in which Dr.
Hooker of New Haven, Dr. Cummings of New
Britain, and Prof. Silliinan participated. The
latter compared man to a clock, wound up
by his Maker for a hundred years, and it is only
by his own folly that the period is shortened.
In the evening a lecture written by Wm. Rus-
sel, was read. Its theme was the use of Rules
in teaching Reading.
On Wednesday morning Prof. Kruzi of Ap-
pcnzel in Switzerland, lectured on the “ Char-
acter of Pestalozzie and his efforts in the cause
of Education.” At some other time we may
give an analysis of this important lecture. The
discussion of the previous afternoon was resum-
ed ; and a new direction given, by a resolution
offered by Mr. Morse of Nantucket, against the
use of Keys to Arithruetics and Algcbras.——
Messrs. A. Grceuleafof Brooklyn, and B. Green-
leaf, author of the National Arithmetic, took
part; Rev. Dr. Bacon and others followed on
the subject of affording aid to pupils. Dr. B.
thought that a pupil was not so much injured
by an excess ofhelp, as by the want ofthe right
kind.
In the afternoon the prize essay on “ Crime,
its Cause and Cure,” was read by its author.-
He attempted to prove by statistics, that there
had been a rapid increase of Crhne during the
Annerican Institute of Instruc-E M"5ic“l F°Sti"al‘
The Oratorio. or Hymn to Liberty, entitled EI.F.l'-'l'llI~Zl(lA,

has been given in New York and Brooklyn five times,
and on (‘.'l('.ll occasion has been cntliu.s‘in:-'ticall_\' received,
xmmy of the pieces luiviiig been encorcd. The :1 ntlior of
the libretto IHIS. Ill the DPS! pllfli, depicted the _ve:n~nin,Q'.<
after Freedom common to all men, and intX‘0(ll]C[|(‘ as 11“
illustration, the first great fact in the world’s history,
the escape of Israel out of Egyptian bondage. He fol-
lows this Heaven-favored people to their captivity, and
concludes the first part. Part second opens with an ode
descriptive ofthe rise and fall of the Grecian Common-
wealths, which is succeeded by the quiet, unobtrusive
entrunce and reign of Christ and the new dispensation.
The dark ages follow. ’till Luther bursts forth
“from his heaven-lit ccll.
And snatching the torch of Freedom from the seven hills.
Spreads its radiance o’er the German Land.
Thcnceforth anew the germ of freedom sprung.
The Saxon bore it to the Briton’s home.
And he transplanted it in this new world. “
The pilgrims. worn and weary, land at Plymouth,
“The ocean waste behind-
Before them boundless wilds."
The secret'oi;true freedom is announced in the follow-
ing stanza, song as a qunrtctte by the four principal
characters, Chri.-itiunn, Sibyl, Victor and $001‘. This
quartette is invariably demanded a second time, and it is,
perhaps, the most thorollgll in its musical construction.
ofall the pieces contained in the work.
‘-.'\‘tormy oceans fur divide them
From oppression s ll‘01l hand :_ .
Crossed their Red Sea, Heaven will guide them
Through their blooming promir-‘d Lind.
Brightly glowing to receive them,
Dawns the Star of Liberty.
.-l.nd their hopes shall not ikceive them.
Trust in God will make them free.”
An allusion is afterwards made to our glorious Revolu-
Oratorio closes with a grand cliorusexulting in the glory
of “Bethlem‘s Star," and the ultimate universal triumph
of the Prince of Peace.
The choruses ilu\‘t‘ been well practised, and the solos.
duos, qunrteties and recitatives interspersed, will be sus-
tained by experienced vocalists. We promise ourselves
much genuine, elevating enjoyment‘ in the performance
oftliis Oratorio. and our only regret is, that .\'orw:1lk af-
fords no building, which from its adaptability to musical
effect and spaciousness, is truly suitable to give it in.
The Town Hall will, however, be arranged on this occa-
sion, so as to make it comfortable for audience and sing-
ers, and efiicicnt ollicers will be in attendance to preserve
order. We cannot but indulge the hope that this effort
to advance the cause of true art among us will meet with
a cordial response from our generous people.
Sad Accident----Rumls Doings.
Friday afternoon a man named Samuel
Hodge, in the employ of Mr. Aaron Morehouse.
of Wilton,- fell from the tongue of a wagon
loaded with hay and had his left arm badly
crushed by the wheel which went over him.——-
He was carried into the ya.rd of James Finuy,
Esq., where Dr. Ira Gregory set the fracture as
well as the circumstances would allow. He
was afterwards removed to his home at Wilton,
Poor Hodge was intoxicated. We would not
like to be the one who sold him his liquor. Had
the Maine Law been in force this would not
have occurred and the unfortunate mau’s fami-
ly not made destitute by the disabling of their
support.
Connecticut State Teachers’ As-
sociatiou.
Mn. Emron ; I was about to prepare an ac-
count of the meeting of the State Teacher's
Association for your journal when the follow-
ing by Mr. Lawrence, of the Stamford School
met my eye in the columns of the Advocate. J.
At the recent meeting of the American
Institute of Instruction at New Haven, a
large number of Connecticut teachers
were in attendance, While the sessions
of the Institute were of great interest and
highly profitable, nothing so much inter-
ested and cheered the teachers of this
State, as the re-organizatioii of our State
Teachers’ Association in the Staie.—
There were those who went to New Ha-
ven with the feeling that something must
be done to quicken the educational move-
ments of the State, by arousingiis tench-
last fiftv vears. and at the saline time an increase
of the facilities for education. -A warm discus-
sion ensued. The .\}lU.'ll{l‘l'S thought that the es-
sayist meant to say that this increase of Crime,
waslattributablc to the increase of education ;
Messrs. Greenleaf of Brooklyn, Huntingdon,
Nathan Bishop, l.'rol‘. Rust, Dr. Hooker and Dr.
Sears participated. The essay was subsequent-
ly restored to the author at his request, who, in
a short speech denied that such was his argu-
ment. I{e attributed it. to the want of' moral
and religions instruction, and excess of intel-
lectual over moral teaching in our schools.
Lowell Mason delivered an able lecture in the
evening at the North Church, his subject was
me Pestalozzian Systein of Teaching in general
with particular reference to You-al Music. It
was admirable.
The remainder of the evening as well as most
of 'l‘l1ursday, was occupied by (l('fl(‘g'fll.-(‘S l'rom
different States. in accounts of the progress of
Education in their respective connnunitics.—
Mr. Parsons oi‘ Wisconsin. Prof. Fletclier of I nd.,
Mr. Smith of Ohio, Prof’. Rust ol"l'enu., Mr. By-
ington of Ala., Dr. Gibbon of N. C., Mr. James
for Penn., Mr. Hodges of N. J ., Mr. McKean of
N. Y., Mr. Huntingdon of'Conn.. Mr. Kingsbury
of R. I.. Dr. Sears of Mass, Dr. Cutter for New
Virginia, and Rev. Dr. Mitchel for Maryland.
responded to the call.
Thursday afternoon Dr. Barnard the State
Superintendent ol'Conn._. lectured on the “Prac-
tical Lessons to be drawn from an Educational
tour in Europe.” The theme was interesting
and very instructive. Prof. Gnyot lectured at
the North Church in the evening on Geography.
All the day sessions was opened with prayer.
After the election of ofiiccrs, John Kingsl)ury.-
Esq. of Providence, lst Vice President, look the
chair. The mcetin gs were interesting and prof-
itable. We wish that all our fellow teachers,
could have shared in the benefits derived from
associating with many of the best and most dis-
tinguished educators of the country. R. S. J.
Beautiful Building Lots.
Wm. B. Slrelleuger. Esq., hasjust had survey-
ed and laid out some six or eight, of the most
desirable and beautiful building sites in town.
They comprise the vacant licld between his own
and the residence of J. A. '\'anZandt, on East
Avenue. / We are really glad to be able to an-
nounce such a st-artlin,t_-; inrond made by Young
America, upon the do:-tirablc and really beauti-
ful possessions In-relol'orc held with so tenacious

death, or some other kind proinoli.-r of human

of the adoruiueut ofour bcauliiful town. There

On Sunday last six men and one “.o_
man started in a sail boat from Cromwe”
for NII(l(lIi-_-town, and after pl‘OcceLliligpa1-;

ers as a body to greater activity and en-_
ilmsiasm and united effort,-———and anxious
with
to co-operate others in doing it,
even if it involved personal sacrifice.-
Several meetings were held and it was
resolved to revive the State Association,
to hold Semi-a‘nr‘iun'l meetings, for which
at least two regular addresses shall be
provided, and to assume the establish-
ment and support of aTea.chers’ Journal
on a plan similar to that of the Massachu-
setts, New York and Ohio Journals.—
Nearly $300 was pledged to defray the
expenses of the Journal, so far as the
subscription for it shall prove insufficient
for that purpose. The fir.-it number will
be issued in October. The following
persons were appointed to conduct it.
Hon. H. Barnard, Hartford; J. D.
Philbrick, New Britain; Prof. D. N.
Camp, New Britain; E. B. Huntingdon

membership all teachers and friends of
education in the State. A meeting of
the Association will be held this fall, in
October or November, at some central
point. The time and place will be in.
definitely announced at an early day.
Fellow-teachers, our work is not all in
our School rooms, or in the community
where we live. VVe have a work to do
as members of the fraternity of teachers,
to help and encourage, and stimulate
each other to a faithful discharge of all
the duties of our noble calling,——a calling
more noble, more important and resp )1]-
sible, and embracing a wider range of
qualifications, duties al.'(l influences than
we ever fully appreciate. Le: each of
us, teachers of public or of private schools

Amo_ug the ma_ny blessings attendant upon improve-
ments in thesocial condition and the advances of our
race in intelligence, is the prolongation of human life.
With the increase of intelligence has grown up a. knowl-
edge for the elements of health. and a regard for them,
and commensurutely with the strides of science have we
acquired the me_uns of arresting disease, and rverting its
rava_ge_s. i\otwithstan(‘ing the progress we have made,
statistics show that even now, one sixth of the whole
population die annually of consumption.
One of the most important discoveries of the age, in
ameliorating the condition of this large class of suffering
humanity, is
\Vista1-’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
Nunda, Livingston Co., N. Y., June 20, 1848.§
Mr. W. l~‘owle,--Dear Sir: Prompted by a sense of
gratitude for benefits received from the use of WlS'I‘AR’S
BALSAM OI-‘ WILD CHERRY, I submit the following
statement 2 Previous to my taking the Wild Cherry, 1
had been obliged to give up my business in consequence
of a severe affection of the lungs. In this distressed
state I was ordered to try your remedy for CONSUMP-
TION. I did so, and in the course ofa few weeks, I was
restored to comparative good health, so that I have since
been able to attend to ordinary business. Indeed, my
present state of health far exceeds my most sanguine ex-
pectations. Yours truly.

and adjoining towns, that he has on hand a good
assortment of Fall and Winter Clothing, which
he is selling at great bargains ; those wanting
anything in his line will find it to their advan-
tage to give him a call ; as his experience in

sion, consequently is better made than is gener-
ally found at other stores. I also have a larger
