WEST FAIRLEE, VT, Jan, II, 1871.
Dear Sir-For seven or eight years past
have been in poor health, and for the past
year or more very feeble. My health con-
tinued to decline, and my flesh and strength
wasted away, until was unable to work,
or even go up stairs without great efhans
tlUn. IsuHefed from frequent ana DISTRESS
ing attacks of palpitation of the heart, my
food distressed me, causing acidity and
pain in the stomach; and suffered from
extreme nervousness, constipation, and de-
bility of the system generally, my blood
being thin and poor and sluggish in circu-
lation, and was for years suffering all the
tortures of confirmed dyspeptic. About
six months since concluded would try o
bottle of PERUVIAN SYRUP, and receiv-
ed SO much benefit from 1t that l purchased
five bottles more, and have continued the
use of the SYRUP until quite recently. 1t
has restored my health to such an extent
that feel myself as good as new. NV di
gestion is good and my weight has increas-
ed in the past four months from 120 to 1888
pounds; my strength has returned, and my
general health is thus wonderfully improva
ed, and can truly say / owe 1t all to the
use of your PERUVIAN SYRUP. 1 earn

will do them as much good as 1t has me.

The Committee on Normal School re-
ported in favor of introducing without
any extra cost or additional teachers) the
studies of psychology, didactics and
pedagogy into the Normal School, be-
lieviug such action would increase the
efficiency of the institution. Adopted.
The Committee on Insurance reported
that an insurance of $1,000 in the Farmers
Mutual and $4,000 in the New Castle
County Insurance Companies, had been
effected on School No. 10. Adopted.
Prof Reynolds, chairman of the spe-
cial committee on revision of the course
of study in the public schools, presented
report of which the following is the
substance:
In "a little book entitled Chow to
Teach; or a Manual of Methods for a
Graded Course OF Instruction, by Henry
Kiddle, A. NJ, City Superintendent of
Public Instruction in New York City,
and two of his assistants, there is laid
down a course of study in ten grades.
The lowest seven occupy five months
each: the next two above these seven oc-
cupy ten months each, and the highest
grade consumes twelve months In It's
Completion. Allowing ten months to the
school year the time taken by all these
grades is but little over SIX years. We
will call ii seven years. In the preface
of this little book, Mr.. Kiddle says that
the system there laid down is essentially
the system which has been in use Ia
New York City for many years, differ
ing from it only in having fewer grades.
He further says: "The order of studies
the main point In every course of in
struction-correspo as here arrang
ed precisely with the New York plan;
the time requisite for its completion is
| also auout the same" s..
The chairman of this committee, in a
late visit to Boston, consulted Mr.. Phil
brick, Superintendent OF the Boston
Schools, on this subject, not only as to
the time consumed in the Boston SCHOOLS
in the course up to the Hight School, but
also as to the time occupied by the same
course Of study in the schools of Cincln-
natl Chicago and ST. Louis. Mr.. Reynolds
consulted Mr.. Philbrick as to the prac-
| tice in these latter cities because he knew
that Mr.. p. had lately been sent to those
cties to examine their schools. Mr..
Phil stated that the course of study
before entering the High Schools in Bos-
ton occupied nine years, put that enid
rem entered, or were privileged TO enter,
| the Primary Schools at five years OF age
that the children in all three of the We
tern cities named above were not per
mitted to enter the Primary Schools I'M
| til six wears of age; but that the course
| in those cities was eight years instead OF
nine, In consulting many reports oil
city schools we have not found one
where the time was distinctly stated
that consumed more time than eigh
years.
In the English High School, Boston
out of 247 pupils who entered in Septem

From a Merchant.

.l NORTH SEARSMONT, sept. y, 1873.
Dear Sir-It gives me very great pleasure
to inform you of the benefit received from
the use of PERUVIAN SYRUP in my
own family. My wife, for the past ten
years, has been in feeble health-very
much debllitated generally. Last Spring
she concluded to Ivy a bottle of PERU
WAN SYRUP, and was so well pleased
with the result, continued its use until three
or four bottles had been used, and she is
now in better health than at any time for
ten years, and has increased in weight from
11O pounds to 126X l have employed ply
sicians, and used a great variety of patent
medicines, to the extent of hundreds of dol
lars, and / know she received more benefit
from the PERUVIAN SYRUP than all the
rest together. rf
My sales of the Syrup are very large
and constantly increasing, and do not hes
itate to recommend and even warrant 1t to
give satisfaction. If you desire you are at
liberty to use this communication as you
see fit, as it gives me pleasure to recom-
mend so good an article to suffering hu-
manity. Yours truly,

Tie San Francisco Bulletin, of Apnl 18th iu its weekly review of mining stock, says
 The past week witnessed the lowest level of mining stocks in d long time. The great est point of depression was reached on Mon ,iay The market value of twenty five of thc leading mine, of the Comstock Lode on that day was at least S25.000, ,000 less than un the first of April ss3.O0O,000 less than fhe same mines were rated at two years ago. The decline between last Wednesday and last Monday was also general amounting in the aggregate tO many million dollars, tho depreciation on single rhare> being from S1 10 Sll."
 The California street spectators have been hurt during the last few months to such an extent that some of them have been tum- lied entirely from the shelf and will be compelled to seek new fields where they can find safe investments. The Nevada mines bave been forced upon the market for far more than what they are worth, and the final result has been financial ruin to almost all the small fry If these would-be million +.ire>. who wish to accumulate wealth with out muscle. depending entirely on chance, would come to Arizona and prospect some <nf the hundreds of valuable mines that arc resting in the bosom of mother earth, unde- Selopei and awaiting the pick and drill to tear them from their resting place. and show shcir shining beauties to the world, and VIC confidently predict that their efforts would be crowned with success.
 As will be seen by the statement of the Bulletin. twenty-five millions were the losses sustained. in nineteen days, by stockholders an twenty y-fivc of the leading mines on the Comstock and the bottom had not vet been reached. Quite a contrast between these 5oaoa,.G mines of Nevada ant some of the plain genuine mines of Arizona. For in stance, the Peck. during the year has paid its owners thousand> of dollars in dividends. whilst the King, McCracken. and many other mines of equal richness are being developed ] with wonderful results. There are thous I auds of similar mines to the above III the , Territory awaiting capital to devclope them l and willing to show the world that here in !
