Peterson's Magazine for November
is on our table, ahead of all others,
as usual. How the publisher can af
ford, not only to maintain its merits,
but to keep improving 1t as he does
is a standing wonder. The present
number, for example, has a beautiful
steel-plate, "Little Red Riding
Hood )" double-sized colored steel
fashion-plate another exquisite ell
craving, "The Falling Leaves )" a
spirited illustration of poem, "Near-
ing Home" ship in storm on
Thanksgiving Eve and about fifty
wood cuts in addition, of new dresses
bonnets, embroidery patterns, etc.
Then there is a beautiful colored pat
tern, "Cherries and Leaves" for a
side board cloth-one of those costly
and recherche affairs only to be found
in peterson" The stories are even
better than usual, which is saying a
good deal. With this number APP
pears the Prospectus for next year,
when six copyright novelets will be
given, and more than hundred
shorter tales, many of them illustrat-
ed. For 1883, the reading matter is
to be greatly increased. Undoubted-
ly Peterson is not only the best, but
the cheapest magazine of its kind,
being but two dollars year to single
subscribers. To clubs it is still cheap
er, viz : four copies for six dollars
and half, with an extra copy to the

A patent has just been secured on an
invention which will be of great value
to those who are obliged to go through
life on crutches. 1t consists of
crutches set on rockers which are
faced with heavy rubber band. The
user thus moves forward eight feet at a
step, with smooth, even motion, which
does away with the jar experienced in
the use of the ordinary crutch.

School Books.


of this state have been paying exor-
bitant prices for school books, and
school supplies in general.
1t is time that a change must be
made in regard to this important
question.
High prices on school books cause
many Of the children of our state to
remain from school, for the very rea-
son that they cannot procure the
books necessary for their use while
in school, That which deprives SO
many of the children OF our land
from school privilegesis an certainly
evil, and one which must be removed
or else our educational interests
must suffer.
These facts were recognized by
those who have the supervision of
the schools of our county, namely
The County Board of Examiners and
the chairmen of the township Boards
Of School Inspectors. At joint
meeting of the above named boards
held at Corunna Aug. 1882, the
question of recommending a unifor-
nifty Of text books for the use of the
schools of this county was discussed
at length and after learning that the
Harper's series of text books was al
ready in use i'll Il majority
of the schools of our county
and as majority of those present at
the convention were teachers of long
experience, and all being more or less
acquainted with the different text
books, were abundantly able to Judge
as to what was needed for the use Of
our schools. After some delibera-
ton the following resolution was
adopted;
Resolved: That the Harper's series
Of text books be and are hereby re-
commercially this convention for
uniform use in theschools of this
county.
Since the adoption of the above
resolution many of the schools of
our county have made adoptions in
accordance with the same and at the
present time over one hundred schools
of this county are using the series
recommended, thus securing almost
an entire uniformity throughout the
county. There now appears in our
midst an agent representing several
publishing houses joined together for
the purpose Of maintaining high
prices upon their books and if posi-
bic to drive from the field all publish
ers who will offer their publications at
reasonable rates, and who will not
join with them in such a combina-
ton. The firms represented by this
agent are Ivison, Brakeman, Taylor
& Co., AS. Barnes & Co., VanAnt-
werp, Bragg & Co., and others. AS
County Board of Examiners we ear
nestly ask the people of this county
to abide by the recommendation of
the above named boards, as by SO
doing we can soon secure a unifor-
nifty so much desired.
This recommendation was not
made upon the request of any un-
principled book agent, but upon the
demand Of the poodle for a move
ment of this kind.

Hard on the Horse.

In mounting, face the near side
of the horse. The near side is the
side nearest yourself. IfyOu stand
on the right side of the horse,
which is the wrong side. when you
mount, you will face the crupper.
Then everybody will know that
your name is Johann GOttlieb
Ernstgeiolger.
If you cannot mount from the
ground, lead the horse TO high
fence, climb up on the fence, say
whoa two or three times, and
lump over the horses ears. You
will light somewhere on his neck,
and will have plenty of time to adj
just yourself while the horse is
running away. Another method
of mounting, largely pfactlced By
young gentlemen from the city, is
to balance yourself on one foot on
the fence: and point the other leg
at the horse in the general direc-
ton of the saddle, saying whoa
all the time. The Horse after this
gesture has tcen repeated a few
times, backs away pulls the alleged
rider off tie fence and walks up
and down the lane with him at a
rapid gallOp. This gives the rider
in about ten minutes, all the eXer-
else he will want for week.
If by some miracle You manage
TO Get into the saddle, hold on with
both hands and say whoa The
faster the horse gees the tighter
you must hold On and the louder
you must 'holler.'
If you are from New York or
Philadelphia. you will shorten the
stlrrnps until your knees are on a
level with your chin. Then as
you ride, you will rise 10 your feet
and stand in the attitude OF man
peeripg over fence to look for his
dog, ard then suddenly fall in the
saddle like man who has STEPPED
