patient and sometimes vicious during
succeeding operations of the kind
Many grooms, likewise, seem to de-
light in producing these exhibitions OF
uneasiness, and then, when they are
carried so far as to make the ANIMALS
irritated and FESTIVE, to brutally kick
and beat them.
This, however, is a vice that may
be conquered. If the horse is dressed
with a lighter hand, and wisped rath-
er than brushed, and the place where
the skin is most sensitive are avoided
as much as thorough cleanliness will
allow, ne will gradually lose the rec
objection of former ill-treatment, and
become tractible and quiet.
The majority Of horses, vicious to
shoe, are rendered so by bad manage
ment and hard usage, and by pain OF
punishment being added to the uneas-
mess of shOeing. 1t should be rnle
in every forge, that no smith should
so be permitted to strike morse,
much less to twitch or gag him, with
out the master farrier's order; and
that a young horse should never be
kicked or struck. There are few hor.
SEES that may not be gradually rend
cred manageable for this purpose by
mildness and irmnesS in the operator
They will soon understand that nc
harm is meant, and they will not for
get their usual habit of obedience; but
if the remembrance of punishment is
connected with the shoeing. they viii
always be idgety, and occasionally
dangerous.

S64, or enough to pay teacher$4 per week
for four months, and that would secure
the services of the best teachers we have,
and the result would be you would get a
school worth having; one that would sat
isfy all. In making these estimates | have
made no account of wood as am not
sure that there would be a great am
cunt saved. For the schools would
need fires through the months of May
and October, and some in the months
of June and September. The main
object with any district should be,
how good school can We have, and
not how long, for such an amount of
money. | hope the two districts re-
ferred to will act wisely upon this
matter and &c: up some better schools
than they have been used to having
heretofore.
We have got some good school
rooms in this town in comparison to-
what we had ten or fifteen years ago.
But ] notice that they begin to show
signs of neglect, and some of them
really begin to look dilapidated.-I
Whose fault is it -? or do the districts
in this town actually mean to let their
school houses go to rack and ruin
without lifting a finger. Prudential
committees should take this matter in
hand. 1t is your duty to keep the
school room in thorough repair, as
much as it is to do any other business
for the district, and the district is of
course obliged to pay you for such re-
pairs. hope each committee will
take some little pride in seeing how
well he can attend to the offices of
the district for the next year in every
particular, and have the school rooms
in thorough repair by the time it is
wanted for winter school. You patch
up and repair your barus in the fall
to protect your cattle from the cold
of winter. and are your barns aud
cattle OF more consequence than your
school rooms and children? Window
shades would cost but little, aud
how much they would add to the
school room. They would not only
be an ornament, bur would be of use
in keeping out the hot and scorching
rays of the sun during the warm
weather; thus making the school room
cooler and more attractive than it
, would otherwise be.
Let each child have proper am
mount of books and not be dependent
upon another for them. and parents
you must attend to it and see that
2 this is so. 1t will never do to let
f your children 60 to school without the
/ necessary text books. Then make
= the school room warm and comforta-
t BILE; make it also cheerful and attract
; i've, and let no pains he spared to in
i terest the young in the cause Of edu-
: cation. Obllgc your children to 90
y to school and to attend regular. Up.
e hold them for no wrong actions, but
e uphold the teacher in making them
e obey the rules of school, and all work
: together for the good of our common
It schools.

DEAR SIR You may say to those enquiring
about the utility of Bradley's Superphosphate
whether or not it pays-that have used it with
good success the last five or six years, and am
fully convinced that the crop more than doubly
pays the cost.
have used it mostly in raising corn, and APP
ply it in the hill at planting time. Very soon
after it comes up the corn assumes a dark green
color, and continues on with a vigorous growth,
ripenng at least ten days sooner than corn plant
ed without phosphate. used it the past year on
twenty acres of corn with results more satiSfac-
tory than ever, yielding about two thousand
bushels of good sound ripe ears of corn. l have
Tried Poudrette, and could perceive but little
benefit from its application.
have also tired other phosphaUes but none
has given SO good satisfaction as Bradley's.

having occurred in connection with the tulip ma
MIA in Holland
A wealthy merchant, who prided himself not
little on his rare tulips, received on one occa-
sion intelligence of a very valuable consignment
merchandise from the Levant, brought to him
by sailor, who came to the counting-room.
The merchant, to reward the sailor for bringing
the news. presented him with a fine herring, a
fish at that time highly esteemed, and of which
the sailor happened TO be exceedingly fond. The
sailor had also, as it appears, great Partially
for onions, and seeing a small root, very like an
onion, lying on the counter of the rich trader
and thinking II would be more appropriate as
relish for his herring than lying among silks and
satins, he slyly slipped 1t into his pocket, without
a thought that It would ever be missed or that it
could be ofany value to any one but himself. He
got off with his prize, and proceeded to the quay
10 eat his breakfast. Hardly had he left the
counting-room before the merchant missed his
valuable seHper augustus, one of the most expen-
siYe tulip roots, worth some 8, 900 horins. The
whole establishment was instantly reused TO the
search, and il had been continued for some time
before any one thought of the sailor The moor
merchant fastened after him, and the sailor who
aimed at no concealment was found quietly eat
ing the last morsel Of his onion, not dreaming
that the cost of his breakfast would have kept d

Messrs. BAKER, Brown & Co.,
GENTLEMEN-l have used Bradley's Patent
Superphosphate of Lime on my corn land for The
past four years, az the rate OF about 200 lbs. to
the acre in the hill. 1t invariably increases the
yieid of corn at least one-third In the season

two fold, as where no phosphate was used the
corn was inferior in quality and quantity. The
