princle o: .Seamoars Broadcast Scoring Machines,
and prove TO be better adapted for the purpose OF
Drilling, than any other that has been tested, be-
ing capable OF sowing and covering, not only
Hheat, but all Gram and Seed, from Feas, Corn,
&c. TO Grass Seeds, and can be used either for
sowing Broadcast, or in Drills, with any fine fer
tilizer such as Lime, Plaster, &c. The Grain
falls from the Grain box to the tubes, a space OF
six inches in full view OF the person attending
it, he may be constantly assured that all is 60
ing right.
The Machine has 9 teeth, or tubes, which are
inches apart from centre to centre, and are all
raised from the ground at once with lever, or
any one may be raised separately; all the seed
can be stopped at once The convenience aud
simplicity of management is unparalleled, and is
not only based on correct principles, but is "got
up'' in that simple, and permanent style, and
good taste, which cannot fail to suit all.
One man, or boy, with two horses, can sow
with ease from 10 to Is acres per day. and the
seed being all covered at a uniform depth saves
from to pecks per acre. Our business having
been considerably retarded by high water, we
shall be able to build but few in-tine for fall
seeding, consequently, all who are anxious to get

school Investigation.

There was interesting investigation before the
School Committee of this city, on Thursday and Fri
day evenings of last week. Ii was founded on petit
tiop of number of the citizens Of Wards and fol-
the removal of Miss Foett the principal of the Arch
Street Primary School.
The petition contained several charges against Miss
Foett, all of which however were abandoned, except
one, for undue severity of punishment in maintaining
the discipline of the School. Witnesses we're intro
duced to show four or FIVE cases Of whipping with a
hide, Of boys from the age of IL to IS years 1t
testified, that, in two more of the cases, the
flesh on the boys arms remained discolored from the
effect of the whipping, for two or three weeks
after the punishment inflicted.
On the other side it was shown, that, with one ex-
ception these punishments look place from to two
years since, and that the was not of
particular severitytha the several cases came under
the revision of the board in office the time when
they occurred, and were not adudged TO be Of
censure. In every except one, it also shown
that the boys turbulent and unruy, and that the
severity occasoned by their obstnacy and deter
mined resistance to the authority of the teacher Tes-
mony given to show that the school consisting of
l2O scholars, the most difficult to manage in the
cty-hat several teachers had been obliged to leave
for want of the ability to govern it-that, since Miss
Folett took it, great Improvement had been effected,
IN every respect. 1t was shown that Miss Folett is
very popular with most of the scholars and parents,
several of the latter testified that their children had
never made good progress under any other teacher
The members Of the School Committee, those partcu-
larY who had the special supervision Of the school,
spoke in strong terms of the qualifications and fidelity
of Miss Follet as teacher.
The hearing very long, lasting till late hour
each evening. AT the close, the taken upon
granting the prayer Of the petition, which decided
in the negative, by vote which unanimous, with
one exception.
