To Officers and Teachers OF Public
Schools i'll Nevada: The School Law
of this State makes it the duty OF the
State Board of Education to prescribe

the State a uniform series OF text books

Very general complaint having been
made against several of the text books

have this day e e ordered by the
Board, of which you are hereby Off
cialIy notified.
McGuffey's new Eclectic Readers
and McGufley's Speller are directed
to be used instead of Wilson's Reader
and Speller.
The New Eclectic Biographies are
to be used instead of Aliens, COrnell's
and Warren's. II is recommended
that beginners in geography be taught
orally by Use of globes and maps. 1t
j. thought that a special text book i'll
Physical Geography will no he need
ed, but where required Warren's
Physical may be used. Clark's Inter
medi1te is retained i'll the series, and
may be used when desired. The Sc
lection of maps and globes is left with
Trustees.

The Industries Of HallOwell.
FCLLEE's MACHINE SHOP AND IRON FoUN.
derry.

We recently passed an hour pleasantly
| and profitably in looking about the machine
shop and iron foundery of Geo. Fuller, Esq,
| at Shepard's wharf, near the south part of the
city
During the year 1857 when shipbulding
was carried on SO extensively in this city, the
Messrs. Coburn of Skowhegan erected a
building near the ship yards on Shepard's
wharf, to be used as a machine shop and lay
ing out moulds and plans for ships. 1t was
eighty feet long by forty feet in width, and
three stories high. When shipbuilding de-
clined it was left unoccupied for several years
ent owner, who moved it a few rods to its
present location. The lower, or first floor is
now filled with all the modern machinery for
turning out all kinds of iron work, from a
used in the printing establishment of "The
Saturday Gazette" was built at this shop
Passing up to the second floor we find the diff.
ferent machines for manufacturing carpet
blocks. These blocks are sent to all parts of
the country where oilcloth carpetings are
made An order from St. Louis has Just been
filed.
The machinery in the whole building is pro
PEELED by water wheel seventeen inches in
diameter with eighteen feet fall of water In
dry weather of summer the works are driven
by steam. One Of the most useful pieces OF
mechanism we noticed, was a machine for
regulating the speed of the whole machinery
in the establishment. 1t is called "Whitman's
Regulator" and is go adjusted that when a
part of the works are stopped corresponding
amount of power is stopped, and when all the
power is wanted it applies itself.
We now proceed to four story fire proof
brick building used for storing patterns for
castings, ETC., that are necessary to be pre-
served. The next building we enter is the
foundery where We find conveniences for all
kinds of casting from an ounce to two tons.
The sand used in this department is brough,
from Auburn, n. Y, the nearest point a,
which it can be obtained. 1t seemed to Us
who are somewhat unsophsiticated, to be sim.
ply yellow earth. 1t costs but trife aside
from transportation. Power to drive the
"blower" of the furnace is applied one hun
dred feet distant by a continuous shaft. Aside
from the buildings mentioned are blacksmith
shop, dry houses, sheds for storing lumber,
iron, coal sand, &C.
Mr.. Fuller employs some twenty FIVE hands
and the pay roll exceeds $1,000 per month A
considerable amount of property in the vi
cinity has been purchased for the accommoda.
ton of his employees, and a SPLENDID residence
has just been completed for one of his sons,
who is foreman in the establishment. Much
credit is due the enterprising proprietor, and
his sons for the improvement made in that
part of the city. S.

Stands the Test of Time.

Mrs. John Young of this city states that in
1856 she purchased fifty dollar Wheeler &
Wilson sewing machine, being at that time
fully informed of their excellence over all
others. This machine has been in almost un.
interrupted use ever since Ga period of fifteen
years, without even the most trifing repairs)
on many totally different materials, such as
stitching the edges of soldiers overcoats,
overcoat Innings, ladies' boots, dresses, shirts,
boys jackets, pants, tucked and hemmed cot
ton cloth, linen, nansook, and Swiss muslin.
A . l-2 needle was used a year without even
removing it from the machine, and used on
the usual heavy and light garments worn by
ladies and gentlemen. She has earned not
less than three thousand dollars (S3,O00)
with it. The machine is in complete order,
none of its parts being worn, and bids fair to
be willed to those who come after her. Mrs.
Young's machine can be seen at her resi-
dence opposite J. p. Wyman's mills.

Daily American, where she has frequently

at is difficult to describe Mrs. Weaver's
reading. 1t is natural as life itself; easy as
the boys whistling when it whistled itself;
and so informed with the sentiment of her
authors, that it is impossible to tell what she
reads best. When she is comic you think she
excels in that; when she is pathetic, you are

Washington Matters.

| Inc Boston Joul nal correspondence on
presidential speculat ons says:
mus far General Grant is decidedly fore.
most among the Republicans named, but the
debate of to-day in the Senate shows that his
Administration is to be attacked, and it js
well understood that there will soon be
demonstration in Congress in favor OF single
term. 1t will, however, be a very difficult
matter to overturn the strong public senti.

and SO wisely administered public affairs DUR
ing the past three years.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Lynch Monday
authorizing the commissioner of internal rev.
enue to remit and ply back all taxes on the
sales of vessels under the act of October g.,
1868, goes at once to the ways and means
committee, where it is sure of an early con-
sideralion and probably of favorable report.
The tax has never been collected, having
been suspended on the protest of some OF the
assessed parties, but within a month or two
Commissioners Douglass has ordered its col
lection. The commissioner, however, tavors
the repeal of the law, and it is quite likely
that a provision repeating the income tax
and the tax on several smaller manufactures
will accompany the bill when it returns to the
House.
The correspondent of the Advertiser says:
The incident of the day in the Senate was
Judge Trumbulfs speech in favor of his reso-
luton revivng the joint retrenchment com
mittee and demanding that the Senate should
substitute it for Mr. Conkling's resolution,
referring the investigation of the Hodge de-
talcation to the military committee. The
speech was the most vigorous and plainly put
of the session, and had evident effect on the
Senators. Mr. TrumhuIl will ranpw tho n
ject tomorrow, and hopes to carry the resp
luton, and also to convince several of his
suspicious associates that he means no attack
on the administration, and is not executing
by the flank movement which he would not
dare to make in front. 1t is an honest.
searching measure for ciyn service reform,
and efficiency and higher and purer stand
ard in all branches of the government ser
vice. Should the resolution be defeated,
however, no unpleasant question as to the
place of Senator Schurz on the committee
could arise.
