HA great deal of fault Is found with
the School Examiners nowadays, because
so few candidates for Certificates as Teach
ers. succeed in getting them. The fault is
not with the Examiners, but with the
applicants themselves. The troublei is, that
the questions the latter are called on 10
solve are taken ont of books many of them
have very little taste to study. If they
were asked about the incidents in the last
Exciting story" they had read in the New
York Ledger, or some such trashy paper,
they could answer more promptly. than
they do questions in Mathematics, Orthog-
raphy, Geography, DC. The truth is, that
fifty per cent of those who do finally get
Certificates should not have them, and it is
only after it becomes the unexceptionable
rule, to give none Certificates but those
who are entitled to them, that the Schools
of our county will be under the control of
good Teachers. So long as half man
is occasionally passed, there will be plenty
of that kind of applicants.
These remarks are as applicable to other
counties as to our own. There is.a general
complaint of the want of competent Teach
ers, coming up from all parts of the State.
Holmes county, probably has as many
good ones employed within her bounds, in
propotion TO the number, as any other
county in the State, and this number is
yearly on the increase. Our Teachers
Institutes" and other means in use by
Teachers themselves, are fast marking out
the "slouches."

The following letter was accompanied with
the names of eighteen new subscribers to the
Republican, 1t shows what can be done when an
effort is made. These subscribers were procu-
red too in neighbo-hood where the paper pre-
viously had a very generous patronage, and In
which we have often been told, all had been done
that could be, in theway of procuring additional
subscribers. Friend THOMPSON thought other
wise, and he has demonstrated the possibility
of doing good work even in field that was
before thought to have been well CLEANED. He
throws out banter to Republicans in otherpart
of the county. Who will accept it? Remem-
Der, however, that if you cannot get more then
Mr.. Thompson has sent us, that it is your duty
to get as many as you can, and we shall be very
thankful indeed. The Republicans of Holmes
county are made of sterling stuff. We have Ia
bored among them to the best of our ability for
many years, and We are content TO labor On if
they will only hold up our hands. The pres
ent patronage of the paperi is barely sufficient to
pay for its publication. All we have for our
share is the glory and an occasional dish of a.
buse. But to the letter of friend Thompson
He will please accept our thanks.

Mr.. J. CAsKEY.-Sir, 1 was at Lakeville the
other day and saw one OF your Prospectuses there
looking rather lonely, so thought would take
it and try whether could do anything for it.

Think it pretty good for beginning. particu-
larly when you take into account the amount
of territory travelled over and the number of pa
pers already taken in it. Who can beat it?-

REMEMBER THE PooR.-It is perhaps not gen
orally known to our citizens that we have in
Millersburg two or three families, who are real
objects of charity, and just now in suffering
condition They want food, clothing and care
ful nursing, for some Of them are lying at death
door.
To take care of the poor is as binding duty
upon us as to provide for own households, and
the saint or sinner who will turn away from the
really necessitous, will find prepared for them
in another world. hell heated seven fold
Some mems religion teaches them otherwise,
and like the Priest and Levite they pass by on
the other side. But that religion whose first
teachings is not Charity, had its origin with the
Devil, and the man who risks his future saliva
tion upon it will meet with fearful disappoint-
ment after death.

LIST. 1t has not one pound of side draft.

4th. Ii runs on TWO wheels which serve as
drivers.
5th 1t has IN adjustable cutter bar and ac-
commodities itself TO an uneven surface of the
ground.
9th. The cutter bar is iu the front of the driv-
ing wheels, and the seat in the rear. Thus epa-
bling the driver to see the operation of The cut
tiers without interfering with his driving. Also.
avoiding all danger of falling into the knives.
7th. The driving wheels have no cogs on them
but drive the gearing by means of pals and
ratchets.
sth. BY means of these pals and ratehets.
the knives cease TO vibrate in backing the ma
chine.
9th. The driver, while in his seat. can see ev-
cry bolt, box, and all the gearing while the ma
chine is in motion.
10th. The gearing is all permanently arraRg-
ed in the centre of the frame, distant from the
driving wheels, thus avoiding all tendency of
its being cloggcd up with mud or dirt thrown
up by tie drivers
1lth. The cutter bar being attached to the
machine by means of hinges, can be folded up
on top the machine without removing connect
ing rod, knife or track cleaner.
18th. The pals on the driving wheels can
be readily thrown out of gear, and by folding
the cutter bar as above stated, renders the ma
chine as portable as common cart.
18th. There is wheel on the shoe next the
gearing in trout of the cutter bar. thus avoiding
cloggiRg at the near shoe in passing over cut
grass.
l4th. The off shoe is only 211s inches wide,
and the last knife cuts no moresthan any other,
therefore leaving no ridge or high stubble at
the end of each swath.
18th. The cutter bar can be raised or lowered
by means ofan adjustable steel spring shoe at
off end. and a slot in the near shoe where the
wheel is attached.

Meeting rod, which are always liable to cause
more or less trouble by jerking loose. but use

of the greatest remedies that has ever been laid
before the public, for Fever and Ague, and
which have received the highest encomiums
from the press and the people, is DIR. ]. HO-
STETTER'S CELEBRATED BITTERS.-
Who would endure the torture arising from
this terrible disease, when it can be SO easily
cured? Who would endure sleepless nights,
burning fevers and icy chills alternately, when
a remedy can be obtained for mere trifie? And
yet how many families linger out painful ex-
istence under this deadly blight, and do nothing
but gulp down quinine, until it becomes as com
mon as their daily meals, and yet they are not
relieved. None but the foolish and weak would
hesitate to procure these valuable Bitters, and
save themselves intense agony.

Week before last We published a statement
showing the number Of Horses bought in this
county the past winter for the Eastern market,
by whom purchased and the amount paid for
the same. Below will be found statement
showing the number Cows bought in the same
time, also intended for foreign market. This
statement does not probably include all that
were bought within that time as some buyers
from abroad did net penetrate into the interior
of the county and We have no means of know
ing their success. But as it is the figures will
probably astonish most of our readers.

Points of Excellence as a Reaper.

1st. 1t has all the advantages that the Now
er has in the gearing, connecting rod, and draft
for the horses.
I'd. The grain is delivered at the side, so that
a whole field can be cut without taking it up.
Sd. The drivers seat is the same as on the
Mower, atfording him free view of the opera
tions OF the machine.
4th. The raker stands at the rear of the plat
form, which is the best position for delivering
the grain.
5th. The rakcr with one molten. throws the
grain 10 the side. then delivers it in the rear :
thus avoiding the difficulty of dragging the
grain from one gravel to another.
9th. The platform can readily be raised or
lowered to suit all kinds of grain or ground. by
means of two screws ut near side, and slot at off
side, when off platform.
