Close of an Exceptionally Interesting Teachers' Institute at Albion

A lively interest has continued throughout the week in the Teachers'
Institute which closed yesterday and was one of the best ever held at Albion.
Professor Henry R. SANFORD is a very popular conductor. He directed the institute
two years ago and much was anticipated in the session just passed. All the
exercises of those who were appointed as special aids have been of the highest
order. Wednesday Mrs. H. McCHESNEY greatly interested the institute in her
address to them on supplementary work of the teacher; she cited Arnold of Rugby.
Teachers should supplement their work with a systematic course of reading.
This would not only make a better teacher but the influence would extend into
the community and all would be incited to a broader knowledge. Three things
were to be considered in reading -- quality, quantity and method; and that
this must be determined by the individual. A change of brain work was a rest.
Miss Mary P. RHOADES, of Brockport, gave an address on "English Literature,"
which for diction, clear and concise statement, gracefully, was a delightfully
instructive feature of that day. Miss Augusta BALCH, of Oswego, gave lessons
Thursday and yesterday in drawing and designing. Professor Charles W. SMITH,
school commissioner, and the secretaries did excellent and laborious work
during this most profitable session. The weather during the entire time was
beautiful, the very finest of the season. It may be said, Professor SANFORD
complimented the teachers very highly on their appearance and intelligence having
answered questions which he said had never been on the moment answered <snip>
didn't get the rest.

The Improvements Being Made at Silver Lake Assembly Grounds.

Large improvements are being made on the grounds of the Silver Lake Assembly
at Silver Lake. Eighty-one lots were recently sold to parties in Naples, N.
Y.; including all the lands of the association in the north part of the
ground west of Perry avenue. A large part of this land was swampy, and needed a
large amount of work done on it to make it saleable. Rev. Ward PLATT and Mr.
Frank CRIBBS, of Naples with twenty men and five teams are at work this week
making the improvement. All of the underbrush has been cut, the low parts
tilled and the marshy parts filled. The avenues are being opened and that whole
portion will soon be in perfect order for cottages. Four new cottages have been
built since the Assembly closed, and many others will be erected before next
season. The programme of the Assembly next season is now well under way, and
there is a probability that the next Assembly will be much larger than any
previous one, as the interest is constantly on the increase. Rev. T. F. PARKER
will soon go to New York to treat personally with the officers of the
railroads and it is anticipated that lower rates and better facilities will be
afforded, and many things that have annoyed in past years will be remedied.

--The annual chicken pie festival of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of
Perry, is to be held on Friday evening at the church parlors.

--The Y. P. S. C. E., of the Universalist Church of Perry, has elected the
following officers for the ensuing year: President, J. Frank TOMLINSON;
vice-president, Mrs. Fred H. COLE; secretary and treasurer, Miss Jessie GATES.

--A few days ago a 2 1/2 years youngster named SHERWOOD, of Castile, while
at play in the yard fell and struck his face on a spike protruding from a piece
of timber. The iron entered his eye, injuring it so badly the little fellow
has been made blind for life.

--There is a good market for red beans this fall and the fortunate farmers
are receiving $3 per bushel for them. The average crop runs about twenty-two
bushels to the acre.

A FORTUNE AT STAKE

An Action Involving Thousands Brought by Rochester Ladies

Mary S. ANTHONY and Susan B. ANTHONY, of this city, are plaintiffs in an
action involving about $150,000. It has just been instituted through J. and Q.
VAN VOORHIS to secure possession of $125,000 of stock in the American Glucose
Company, of Buffalo, and dividends amounting to several thousand dollars.
The complaint alleges the following:
That in 1883 the Leavenworth Sugar Company (in which the plaintiffs
with their brother, Colonel D. R. ANTHONY, were large stockholders) together
with the Firminich Sugar Company of Buffalo, the Buffalo Grape Sugar Company and
the Peoria Sugar Refinery were consolidated into one corporation under the
name of the American Glucose Company. This corporation was organized under the
laws of the state of New Jersey but its business office and headquarters are
located in Buffalo. The leading spirit in this consolidated organization is
C. J. Hamlin, of Buffalo. The capital stock of the consolidated corporation
was $10,000,000, but, it is alleged, for the reason, that the laws of the
state of New Jersey impose a heavy tax upon such corporations, the capital stock
was reduced to $1,000,000 to minimize this tax.
The plaintiffs claim that under the agreement by which the
consolidation was effected Colonel ANTHONY and his sisters should have received $125,000
in stock at par value as their share in the newly organized company. The
complaint alleges that the defendant never issued to Colonel ANTHONY or his
sisters the stock to which they claim they are entitled, and that though annual
dividends have been declared and large profits made, the defendant has never
paid any dividends on the ANTHONY interest.
