Rancid Butter.

We cut from an exchange the follow

drops (about half teaspoonfuD of liquor
of chloride of lime. Wash in this two
and half pounds of rancid butter
every particle of the butter has come in
contact with the water, let it stand an
hour or two, then wash the butter well
again in pure water The butter is then
left without any odor, and has the sweet
ness of fresh butter. These preparations
of lime have nothing injurious in them.

but forty pounds and is In every respect
superior to boats made Of wood 1t is
thin, lighter than wooden boat, is rem

oil and other compounds, and It claimed
to be more durable, and that it will stand
shocks that would destroy wooden she'll.
Such boat cannot be split or broken,
but if a hole be made in it by accident,
the perforation will be no longer than
the size of the object piercing it and
could be easily mended it will not swell
nor crack, requires no caulking or pitch

than wooden boat,

To School Directors and Teachers.

The County Superintendent deems it
his duty to make the following comments
and suggestions relative to the recent
amendment to the School law, which has
been published in both the county papers.
The explanations were not published at
the time for want of space.
Section l, removes difficulty hereto
fore experienced in securing eligible sites
tor school buildings. Owners of property
were frequently opposed to the location
OF school houses near their premises !;
such exorbitant prices were demanded by
some that the proper sites could not be
procured. This section allows the school
authorities to enter upon private prop
erty, whether the owner is willing or not,
and occupy it for school purposes The
damages arising from such taking of pri-
vate property are to be assessed by view
ers appointed by the Court of Common
Pleas analogous to road proceedings in
the Quarter sessions.
Sections, 2, 3, 4, and 5, relate to the
establishment of Teachers Institutes. =
These must be held. They must continue
in session at least fee days. The County
Superintendent is, Er-c6icio, the presid-
ing officer. He is allowed to draw out Of
the county treasury at the rate of one
dollar for every three days spent by the
teachers in attendance at the Institute
He may draw at least sixty dollars which
the law directs to be expended in procur-
ing lecturers and instructors for the in
stitute, and in providing the necessary
apparatus, books, &c, for carrying on its
works These Institutes are to be called
by the County Superintendent or by the
properly authorized committee of teach
ers acting with him We have such a
committee in this county, and its mem
bers will please take immediate steps to-
wards calling an institute by the middle
of October
Section 6 relates to the selection of
Text Books with a view to entire unifor-
nifty in the County. The peculiar wants
of the people and the merits Of, the books
already in use should govern such a COM
mittee when appointed. Agents travel
ing in the interest of particular house
should not be consulted on the merits of
their books.
Section 7, s and 9, provides for the
election of superintendent in boroughs
having over ten thousand inhabitants.
Section Il and y, legalizes the pro-
visional certificate and authorizes the is
sue of new grade of certificates, to be
called the Permanent Certificate, which
can neither be given nor taken away with
out the consent Of the teachers themselves.
Blanks to meet this provision has been
received and will be furnished on appli-
cation.
Teachers will take notice that section
IL, above mentioned, adds History of the
United States and the Theory of Teach
ing to the branches already required. =
These will be insisted upon in all cases.
No teacher will he permitted to teach
without such an examination. For text
book in History, Seavey's Goodrich's u
nited States will do; and for the Theory
of Teaching, Wickersham's Method of
Instruction. These works must not only
be read but studied.
Section ID, regulates the election of
County Superintendent.
