We are, glad to see that our late
fellow citizen, Maj. Henry III. Giesy,
wholost his life in gallantly fight
ing the battlesof his country at
Dallas, Georgia, May %, 1864, has
not been forgotten by the Govern
ment. At the session of Congress
just closed he was nominated and
confirmed for the successive Bre-
vets Of Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel
and Brigadier General, a distinc-
tion as we'll deserved as it is hon.
orable to his memory and crafty
ing to his friends.

A Trip to Bremen.

Having occasion, last Saturday,
to visit the village Of Bremen, in
this county, we ofcourse did not
omit TO call at the new mercantile
establishment of Messrs. KUTz,
Brown 4 Co., who have lately en-
tered into a general merchandise
ing and produce business at that
very eligiblepoint. Wecould notbut
be struck with the air of energy and
prosperity pervading the whole
concern-and we were equally i'm
pressed with the fitness of our
friend VIM. r. Brown tor its sup.

goods kept on hand includes every.
thing ordinarily wanted in far

toned. Tho unequalled reputa-
ton abroad of. Fairfield County
Butter" as we'll as that of Perry
county, is derived in a great mea-
sure from the product Of Rush
Creek and the other eastsrn town
ships of Fairfield county. Under
the system Of Kutz, Brown & Co.,
the merits of this butter must be
brought into still more extensive
notice, and its sale increased, while
the average quality Of the article
itself will be improved and the
manufacture greatly extended, in
consequence of the inducements
held out for the production of the
best grades. Messrs. X. B. & Co.,
are shipping large quantities ofthis
fine butter to Cincinnati, where it
commands prices equal to that
from any quarter, and it only
needs continuance Of pDper sf-
fort there, and the institution of
the same effort throughout the
county to place it as butter re.

We have extended this article

probably recur to it again.

A SEAsoNAnLE RroIpR.-As the
blackberry season is az hand, we give
place to the following from the Ger.
mdmtoWn Telegraph for the informa.
ton Of our readers:
There is no wine equal to the black.
berry when properly made, either in
flavor or for medicinal purposes, and
all persons who can conveniently do
so, should manufacture enough for
their own use every year, rs it is in
valuable in sickness as tonic, and
nothing is better remedy for bowel
diseases. We, therefore, give the
receipt for making it, and having
tried it ourselves, we speak advisedly
on the subject Measure your berries
and bruise them TO every gallon ad-
ding one quart Of boiling water. Let
the mixture stand twenty-four hours,
stirring occasionally; then strain Off
the liquor into cask, to cvery gallon
adding two pounds Of sugar; cork
tight, and let it stand till the following
October, and you will have wine
ready for use, without further strain
ing or boiling. This makes most
palatable and excellent wine.

To TEACHERS AND DREcToRs-Th
second quarter of the Normal School
will open on Tuesday, the Both day of
this month. Every teacher who de-
sires teaching, and especially the com
ing winter, should endeavor to be in
attendance, for the following reasons
lst. We have been successful in pro.
curing as an assistant, one Of the best
teachers in the State-being a gradu-
ate of,aAd teacher for four or FIVE
years in, the State Normal School, at
Millersville. 3D. Tho Directors have
generally resolved to pay more to
those teachers who have spent their
time and money, this summer, in bet
ter qualifying themselves for their
important work. 3d. The standard
of certificates is yearly rising and
unless teachers have greatly improved
they need not expect as good certifi-
Gates as received last fall. 4th. All
teachers must hereafter pass an axam-
ination in the History of the United
States and the Theory of Teaching
Directors in each township should
urge upon the teachers the necessity
and Importance of better qualifying
themselves, for so long as we have
poorly educated teachers, so long we
must have poorly educated and back
ward schools.
The annual district reports, certif-
Gates and afiidavits from the following
districts have not yet been received
Beccaria, Bradford, Clearficld, FoS,
Huston, Karthaus and Penn; also the
reports from Bell and Chest. Accord
ing to law they should have been on
file at the department by the 18th of
this month. Directors will therefore
please forward them Immediately, or
loose their State appropriation.
