A STATEGIcAL CoMBINATIoN-An In
diana man has effecteda strategical COM
bination against the potato bugs. He
planted a grain of corn in each
hill Of potatoes. The corn came up
before the potatoes, which, of course,
cheated the little pests into the be-
lief that it was a cornfeld, and they
never went near the potatoes until it was
too late to do any damage.

Notice to Teachers

IneSe eAdlninablonS Will commence at
o'clock a. m. and close at D. m.
No applicant will be enrolled after 10 o'clock
a. m. No certificate will be antedated, and the
school law prohibits township clerks from Civ
ing orders to teachers for pay, unless they have
certificates embracing the whole term of SER
vice. And no person is entitled to certificate
unless he understands the following branches
and is able to impart instruction on them ALI Or
biography. Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, &C.
ography and English Grammar. A failure in
one is a failure in ALL and those not having q
fair knowledge of each and every one of the
above branches need not apply for certificates
Particular attention will be paid to Orthogra-

tainly be rejected. No private examination will

1t is important that the standard of Monroe

OF the wish of the teacher to avail himself of all
the means of self-improvement, and as a recon.
mendation to the good opinion of the Exami.
ners.

A Fish Story.

During the draft of 1868, there resi-,
ded in one OF the rural counties In this
State an old patriot, hy the name of
Abraham Fish, who had no less than
eight able bodied boys, liable to draft,
but none of whom had enlisted. Upon
the day appointed for the drawing, the
whole family attended with the crowd
before the Provost Marshals office, and
what was their amazement to hear the
names of FIVE Of the eight boys called
out in quick succession rs drafted!
'.Well, l declare" old Abraham re-
marked, with sly twinkle in the cor
ner of his eye. "It's all right, | s'pose,
the gov'meit wants 'em, aud I've got
three left yet But / say its no less
than miracle, arter ALL
'All chance, father Abraham chuck

Use Of Bundle Bees.

Bows think it glorious FUN to fight
humble bees, but they should not be
encouraged in the warfare. Bundle
bees, like all the hymenoptera, play
an important part in the great field
of Nature. The vein-winged insects
which fly from flower to flower do
not injure or destroy the flowers, but
make them productive by distribut-
ing their pollen. They also rid us of
our innumerable noxious caterpillars
and other insects, which they convert
into wholesome food for their off
spring. The ordinary honey bee per-
forms its work well in the fertiliza-
ton Of white clover, but its proboscis
is not long enough to enable it to
reach the hectares of red clover. For
the fertilization of the red clover we
must rely to a great extent upon the
humble bee. Darwin has called at
tention to the intimate connection
between the number of cats in a Civ
en- district and the yield of red clover
seed. The mice destroy humble bees,
and the cats destroy the mice; there
fore. the more cats, the more humble
bees, and the more humble bees, the
greater is the red clover yield. In
order to make the red clover grow
more abundsntly in New Zealand
than it does, some enterprising gen.
tlemen are talking of importing colo
MES of humble bees from England.
Our young friends will thus see how
earnestly the humble bee is desired
in countries where he works not.
Then, should we not protect what we
have, and which performs
such important services in our fra
grant meadows? We think so, even
if he does interfere with the wild
pleasures of careless toyhoOd.-

III. WOrthington, ST., Esq, of the sec.

known that the hog is sick give the
pill. If there is no change for the
better by next day, or within about
twenty-four hours, give another pill
of the same ingredients. Mr.. Worth
ington informs us that he has never
known q second dose of the medicine

CLOTHES LINE T!

To the Ladies Of 4auy aud Adjohging
Counties
WE ASK THE PRIVILEGE OF SOLIC-
| w iting your attention to our new quality
| of Clothes Line Wire, manufactured in such o
manner, of white metallic substance, that it is
| prevented from ever cOrroding or changing
| from its beautiful white color during any num-
| Der of years. We guarantee it to be perpetual
ly infailible against rust, and afler you have
used it we are confident that YOU will concur
with the statements of thousands of families
loud IN its praise who have it in use.
The following are the advantages gained by
sing these Patent White Wire Clot hes Lines:
LIST. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining whiteness,
are forever clean and never have to be taken in,
no matter what the weather may be, water or
frost cannot effect them.
ID. The durability of this Wire Line is one of
the yreatest considerations, as it will last from
thirty 10 fifty years, ard during that time you
will wear out great many cOmmon lines, be-
sides being obliged to put up with an immense
amount of trouble with them.
Sd. After it is put up and wiped off it is al
ways clean, while rope line is more or less
exposed to dust and dirt and must be washed
before it is used or it viii soil the clothes.
18th. By actual experience it is found to be by
far tie cheapest clothes line, besides its great
convenience. This will last lifetime.
5th. You can never hang it too heavily with
clothes.
9Th. Another Of the chief advantages of this
line over the rope line is, that clothes OF any kind
viii. not freeze to it in cold weather, and the
finest fabrics can be removed at any time with
out injury. A rope line will always absorb
more or less moisture from the clothes, and in
cold weather will freeze through and through,
and thin articles cannot be removed withouf a
liability of tearing them. While the wire being
of pure metallic substance does not absorb
the slightest moisture, consequently there can
not be frost enough formed to cause an adhesion,
and even the finest gauZe can be removed from
the line without injuring il in the least.
9TH. The alkalies now being used in the pat
ent soaps ha We net the least effect On the White
Wire Lines. They dry quick and escape.
Sth. 1t will save you IFS price in Swing you
time and trouble every six months you ownit.
9th. 1t never will break and drop clothes in
&c the mud. The old rope line is frequently the
cause of q whole day extra washing. This one
thing alone Is enough to condemn the old style
OF lines farever, and call into requisition an ar
ticle that is free from all such provoking annoy
ances, something strong, clean and durable
