\ RICH SERMoN.-W here is the man with
his harp of a thousand strings!
The following rich extract from sermon
will be recognized at glance by some Of our
readers here at home. 1t loses much of its
humor, because cannot put i'll print the
sing song style and appropriate gestures that
accompany it:

You how know-ah: AS coming up to
church to-lay-ah, | some young men III
the roatl-ah And thought one of them was
the purtiest Young man in my life
ah And as l drew nigh unto them l dis
covered that they were playing ov marve's;
and they all drew nigh unto a place they
called tawah, and they marveled-ah And this
purity young man was the last one to marvel
all; and when he marveled. he jumped up and
Topped his hands like rooster does his wings
and saws he Il wish | may be ID ct haint
fat-ah!' And oh, my friends, then | thought he
was one of the ugest young men ever saw III
may Iifc-ah. And | opened my mouth aud
snake unto him thus-a,: Young man, this is
not the way to salvation-ah And says he:
.Old hoss, ef you had been salivated as bad as
have, YOU wouldn't want to hoar talk of saliva
tIOn-aI."
An now. nv friends, when that ar young
man said he was fat he told le-ah--for he
was as lean as that hungry looking sister over
/ thar that's always praying SO piOuS "hcn the
hat is a bein' passed around-ah. And, my
friends, if that man hadn't been blinded by
sin he never could ov mistuck for old
horse-ah.

At the Annual meeting of the Board 81 ,s"nlU.
Commissioners on the 10Th of Nov. 1855, yns-
ton was passed nstructing to publish the fo,. ~
ing list Of elementary Shoot books and to earnest.
recommend teachers anu parents to adopt them u
all the schools of the county viz:
Webster's Elementary Spelling Book.
McGufey's or Mandervc's Series of Readers
browns or Bailey's English Grammar.
Mitchell's or Smiths Geography.
Calourn's intellectual Arithmetic.
Davies first lessons and school Arithmetic.
and facilitate the progress of pupils, if wei had =
uniform Series OF School books in all our primary
Schools.
This recommendation of the Board is the first stem
toward the attainment of that desirable object
The books here recommended are believed to be tho
best of their respective classes that have been pub
lished and it is earnestly hoped that teachers will
unite their influence, with the Board, in effort TO-
introduce them into all our Schools.
There are doubtless many other good books, thst
have their advocates amongst our School teachers
and that doservedly popular; and therefore il
may be, that some teachers will feel reluctant to
abanf on their tavorite authors and to adopt the
above series. To all such would appeal 10 give
these books trial, and So forego preference for
Others, for the sake of attaining the great end ws
have in view, viz :-Unformity tn the system To
accomplish this object, which every teacher will ad
nit is cf primary Importance, there must needs be
some compromise OF opinions and it is with the ut.
most confidence, as the organ of the Board, that I
appeal to the intelligent Teachers in the County to
second the Commissioners in this government.
Below publish statement of the quota to which
each Commissioner is entitled for the year 1885, In
addition to this quota, the Capitation Tax will b.
apportoned in July or August, whenit is pay able.

The official duties of TINS distinguished
and eloquent gentleman were brought to
close yesterday. AS the President OF the
Senate for the last four years, Mr. Leake's
labors have been arduous aud Responsible
far beyond any OF his predecessors in Of
flee, and yet he has discharged them all
with SO much impartiallty, dignity and
ability as to call 10th, not simply the unan-
imous thanks OF the intelligent body over
which he presided, but thanks bestowed
IN such way as to carry with them the as
surance tina, they were cordially given,
because they were honestly deserved We
believe that all who have had an opportu-
nifty to observe Mt. Leake's Official course
Will chepriully unite with the Senate in
their handsome appreciation of his servic-
es as presiding officer, and further hear
tily concur in the sincere aspiration tina,
his future may be happy, prosperous and
successful. The reader is deferred to the
