ed him to do in the way of department
during the month reported, his name
goes into the second column, and we
think he is good boy. If Philetus has

the. FIRST column, and if he has done as
well as Billy his name goes into the second
column also, and we think he is a better
boy than either Of the others; and as a
reward and mark of our good opinion, his
name goes into the Roll of Honor publish

we find the name of one pupil in both col

speaks, were neither absent nor tardy, and
were perfect IN department during the

SMALL POX REMEDY.


II hereby append receipt, which has
been used to my knowledge in hundreds
of cases. It will prevent or cure the
small pox though the pittings. are filling.
When Jenner discovered the COW pox in
England the world OF science hurled an
avalanch of fame upon his head but
when the most scientific school of medi-
cine in the wo-ld, that of Paris-pub-
lished this recipe as a panacea for small
pox, it passed dnheeded. 1t is as unfail-
ing as fate and conquers in every instance.
1t is harmless when taken by we'll per-
son. 1t will also cure scarlet fever.
Here is the recipe as have used it and
cured my children of scarlet fever; here
it is as l have used it to cure the small
pox; when learned physicians said the
patient must die, it cured. Sulphate of
zinc, one grain foxgloves (digitalis) one
grain; half a teaspoonful Of sugar mix
with two tablespoonfuls of water When
thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of
water. Take a spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For child, smaller doses, accor-
ding to age.
Ifcounties would compel their physi-
clans to use this, there would be no need
of pest-houses. Ifyou value advice and
experience. use this for that terrible dis
ease"

This is new work on new plan. II
stands between common grammar and

adapted to use in our common schools II

The primary object of the compiler is
undoubtedly to make money" To ac-
complish this she has done the wisest. and
best thing, namely: to furnish US with
a comprehensive method of treating Elo-
cution, followed by choice collection of
prose pieces and poetic gems, intended for
reading exercises. AS "a school reader it
is independent of every series, but may be
substituted for the highest reader of each,
or in addition thereto. We commend it
to the attention of our teachers.

FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES

FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES
Those who are at this time taking every
occasion to refer to the assistance render.
ed to America by France in the Revolu-
ton, should take the trouble to under
stand the facts. The French Bourbons-
the elder and younger branches of the
|fam1ly-have shown their friendship for
this country in both of our great vars
that of 1776 and that of 1851 Louis
XVI. sent US military assistance in the
war of the Revolution, and two of the Or.
leans Princes served in our army in the
war against the rebellion. But to the
