superficial and Inaccurate in them. This
subject is considered of so much impor
tance by the educational men of the State,
that it was made subject for discussion at
the late State Teachers Association. 1t is
certainly worthy of your attention.
Again, it has appeared to me, for some
years, that great mistake was made IN the
time of scholars commencing Grammar
Also in the manner OF teaching it. No
other study is 80 badly taught-no other Is

Accordingly we had and still have lst, ID
and Sd books on Grammar, adapted to the
various stages of development of children
from eight years upward And now we
have scholars studying Grammar from SIX
to eight years who then have as much
knowledge Of the language as they ought
to obtain in as many months Evidently
there is something wrong here. Better

paclty. Yet even at this late hour, beliey-
ing that few words in reference to the
policy of the new administration, and hay-
ing, as L think, really something to say, I
have concluded, though it be departure
from custom, to venture few thoughts.
First. | recommend to your attention
and urge upon you the necessity of a more
thorough, rigid disci pline in your schools.
Evidently IN most schools there is no DOW
er behind the throne to execute the laws
They fall helpless, and are trampled under
toot as they proceed from his or her Roval
Highness. The great lack of this power
IN schools generally, the prevailing dis sposi,
tlon OF teachers to yield to the caprices of
. \ oung America, to crafty and indulge. to
do anything in short but to insist upon and
secure prompt, unquestioning obedience, is
an evil OF such growing magnitude, as to
threaten with destruction the fundamental
design of all schools, which is to nurture
and establish in scholars respect for law
and authority. You cannot, therefore, be
too earnest in your efforts for the removal
Of this evil
In the next place, l call your attention
to the Importance of scholars having enough
aud not too many studies. Too little at,
tention has been paid to this. Scholars
generally II amselves, sometimes their pa.
rents, decide what and how many studies
they should have. 1t is the teachers duty
to do this. Where, however, it is done by
the teacher, it is generally done no better.
From his desire to give the scholar plenty
of work to keep him out of mischief, he
gives him too much. The consequence is
lessons are imperfeetly learned Scholars
are reproved and perhaps punished for fail
ing to do what it was impossible for them
to do. The effect upon the scholar must
be bad, either to discourage, tire and dis
gust him With his studies, or 10 make him

The October Election.

It will be well for Union men to rememoer that the

issue at stake Is contes frofce. Far fromit. The
man who this fall votes for the nominees OF the Op-

nary circumstances for supporting friend or neigh

are placed there are but two parties, the one for the
other against government. The latter NAV talk
great deal about Constitution. about law and about
patriotism, but so long they have more to say
against government which under difficulties greater
than any recorded in history endeavorng to crush
the Cauine conspiracy than they have against the
cousplrators, their fitness rulers may well be aues
toned In this view of the case and it is the only
true what reason be urged why any friend of

B7= We often surprised to find so few Sewing
Machines in in section of the country. In the
large cities every family has its Sewing Machine, and
they would he without one for ten times its cost
1t is certainly the useful and economical inven-
ton Of the age, and advise our readers TO hesitate
longer, but to getting of these labor and
life saving Machines. There are a great many kinds
of Sewing Machines, and We have taken some pains
examine into their respective merits, and we have
come to the conclusion that the WHEELER WILSON,
HIGHEST PREMIUM SEWING MACHINE, is decidedly the
best.
These unequalled Machines are adapted TO every
variety of sewing for family wear from the slightest
muslins to the heaviest cloths. They work equally
well upon silk, linen, WOODEN and cotton goods, with
silk, cotton wooden thread. They will quilt,
gather, hem, fell cord braid bind and perform every
kind of sewing making beautiful and perfect stitch,
alike on both sides Of the article Sewed The sewing
will never unravel or wash out.
The Wheeler Wilson Sewing Machines are so
simple that child can work them with ease Printed
instructions sent with every Machine, that any
one operate them without any trouble difficulty.
Every Machine warranted and the money returned
II not entirely satisfactory.
Over Fifty Thousand of the celebrated Wheeler &
Wilson Sewing Machines sold every year, and yet
the demand is great that they hardly be sup
Piled fast as ordered. Machines are carefully
packed and in good order to any portion of the
country.
We hope our readers will write at once to the Wheel

phia, and get one of their Almanacs for 1865, and
specimens of work done by the Machine all of which
they will send by mall free of charge any address

And still further, he offers of the remarka-
bic Strawberry Plants sent free aud post paid every

is, send the Dollar or the Sl15 and the extra 5cents
at once to Orange Judd, Publisher of the Agricultu-
