Assoctation.—The Teachers’ As- sociation of the District of Columbia held its regular monthly meeting on Saturday at the Smithsonian {nstitution, Prof. L. C. Loomis in the chair. The segue order of business being the subject of Arithmetic, Prof S$ L Loomis commented on the unsatisfactory mode of teach- ing this branch, usually practised in the common schools. and pointed out the defects in the pres- ent system le thought thet the trouble was that boys ceased to think and exercise their minds in independent investigations, and were hampered too much by the rules laid down in the books. Colburn’s Mental Arithmetic was a = good work in this respect, but those that had gone through that did not know how to use aslate. He spoke in high terms of Colburn’s Sequel. Prof. Z. Richards concurred with Prof. Loomis. He said that Colburn’s Mental Arith. metic not designed to fit the pupil fora business life, but only as disci linary of the mind, and to lead the way to Colburn’s Sequel. On motion, the subj-ct of Arithmetic. having especial réference to Loomis’s Normal Arithme. tic, was continued for discussion at the next meeting of the Association. Prof. Richards stated that Prof Henry would deliver a lecture, by request of the Association, during the winter, and Mr. Barnard, of Mass , in the s: pring. Prof. Bache, also, had promised to give a ‘talk’? which he had no doubt would be worth hearing. The Association adjourned to the second Sat- urday in January next.

This morning the complainant, whose name is Kelly, went to Justice Donn and wanted to swear that be saw his landlord take the money from his pocket, although he had previously stated that he was asleep at the time. The Jus- tee wa: formed by an officer of what had oc- curred, the warrant was refused. A few moments after, the landlord, who had been at work to remove suspicion from bimself, entered and demanded a warrant for Barney Barnes, the person suspected by the officers. The theft, be averred, was committed in the back, and that Barnes, who was one of the com ny, had been exhibiting from fifty to sixty dollars at various = during the night, and the persons who new him could uot account for his Possession of it. It was also stated that Barnes is now under bail for Court, and that he has gone to Alexandria — A Curss CLus.—The prevailing excitement in Telation to the game of chess, created by Mor phy’s brilliant European success, bas at length reached our city, and active measures are now in Progress among the amateur players for the for- mation of a chess club, with such rules and reg- ulations as those by which similar associations are governed in other cities.
