Allen, Principal of the State Normal School, delivered an interesting lecture at the Theatre Wednesday evening, on the subject . of “Home Influence on Education.” A fair andience (fair because many pretty schoolmarms were there, might well be added) was preaent. The Protessdr,—who' is abuadantly capable of advancing views from the standpoiat of one of varied and vast experience, endeavored in a logical and reasonable manner.to impress upon “his hearers the fact that education of children must begin at home; and that borh moral and mental trainiig should be made a feature of special attention in every household, as the children advanced in years. But home must be made attractive in order to: interest the rising generation in the pursuit of those adv antages Ww hich wil] expand their minds and hearts at the same time, he ‘wisely maintained. How was this to be done? By~ pro= viding the little oves with “Buanyan’s Pilgrim's Progress,” the ‘Bible, ‘‘Wat's Lyuwns’’—all good books— and nothing else? By all means. no.

He treated the subject under two heads: Plant Life, or Botany; and Animal Life, or Zoology. He thought the subject hud been much neglected. He wanted the pupils to be ready to exterminate the dest-uctive vermin which we may soon expect to be upon us here in California. © Institute adjourned till 1:30. A Wife’s Devotion. Charleton's wife has displayed for her husband a devotion which is remarkable, ever since his arrest and imprisonment for the murder of Smith. ‘She has been in this city tor several months awaiting the day of trial, and visiting him in the Jail almost daily. During the progress of the case she has been constantly by his side, watching the developments with an eagerness which be. trayed the deep interest she felt in her coal-black .companion’s fate.

It will not be well for these sneak-tbieves if we succeed in ebtaining a clue to-them. Prof. C. MH, Allen’s Lectare. Prof. C. H. Allen, Principal of the State Normal School, delivered an interesting lecture at the Theatre Wednesday evening, on the subject . of “Home Influence on Education.” A fair andience (fair because many pretty schoolmarms were there, might well be added) was preaent. The Protessdr,—who' is abuadantly capable of advancing views from the standpoiat of one of varied and vast experience, endeavored in a logical and reasonable manner.to impress upon “his hearers the fact that education of children must begin at home; and that borh moral and mental trainiig should be made a feature of special attention in every household, as the children advanced in years. But home must be made attractive in order to: interest the rising generation in the pursuit of those adv antages Ww hich wil] expand their minds and hearts at the same time, he ‘wisely maintained. How was this to be done? By~ pro= viding the little oves with “Buanyan’s Pilgrim's Progress,” the ‘Bible, ‘‘Wat's Lyuwns’’—all good books— and nothing else? By all means. no.

He treated the subject under two heads: Plant Life, or Botany; and Animal Life, or Zoology. He thought the subject hud been much neglected. He wanted the pupils to be ready to exterminate the dest-uctive vermin which we may soon expect to be upon us here in California. © Institute adjourned till 1:30. A Wife’s Devotion. Charleton's wife has displayed for her husband a devotion which is remarkable, ever since his arrest and imprisonment for the murder of Smith. ‘She has been in this city tor several months awaiting the day of trial, and visiting him in the Jail almost daily. During the progress of the case she has been constantly by his side, watching the developments with an eagerness which be. trayed the deep interest she felt in her coal-black .companion’s fate. When the Jury told the Judge yesterday morning that they could not agree upon a verdict, and his Honor discharged them, a gleam of satisfaction came into her eyes, and from a@ momentary expression which stole over her dark countenance, it was — load. had been i from this ae woman’s mind. * District Court. } Stonington Gold and Silver Mining Co. vs, A.B.
