The new combination method of OPP
Grating in stocks which Messrs. Law
renee & Co., Bankers, n Y, have in
augurated, is attracting unusual atten-
ton in financial circles, by reason OF
its remarkable success. B. f. Com
stock, of Providence, invested nine
times, and made over $4,000 in three
months, by using from $50 to $500 cap
ital. BY this system, orders from
thousands of customers, in various
sums, are pooled into one immense
capital, and operated as mighty whole
thus giving to each shareholder all the
advantages Of vast capital and shreWd-
est skill. Profits are divided every so
days. Any amount from $40 to $75,-
900 can be used in Messrs. Lawrence
& Co.'S combinations with equal pro-
portionate success. $15 will make 1915
profit in the month 5000 will return
1000, or per cent. on the stock, and
SO on as the market varies. The new
circular gives 1.-TWO unerring rules for
success and shows how any one can

teacher, bat he does teach Primary
music in his school, and the object of
| this exercise was to present the sub
ject to the teachers. The subject was
a difficult one to present, yet all join
in saying that it was presented in a
| forcible manner. Mr.. Blanchard makes
this terrible bugbear Of music so sim
pie that a child may understand the
first principles Of it.
The meeting then resolved itself in
TO q committee of the whole, and sew
eral questions relating to school gov
eminent, influence of former teachers,
parents &c, were discussed. That
bone of contention, the sound of short
0 was also brought forward, and as
usual, no two could fully agree.
The evening meeting at Salem Sta
ton was opened by song from Misses
Dilla and Sarah, and Master Willie
Browne.

ton Law was then debated by Messrs.
II. E. Robbins and E. W. Helms on

"You will spoil your coat if you rub it
