Book Notice.

We received last week copy of a
little book, "Logic in Ten Chapters"
by Prof. A. M, Burney, A. NJ, Presi-
dent of Howard Female College. From
a personal knowledge of the scholarly
attainments of the author, and the val
liable testimonials of the distinguished
gentlemen who examined the work in
manuscript, as well as personal ex-
animation, we can safely recommend
the work as superior, at least In some
important features, to any other book
we have seen upon the subject. We
believe Col. Clement was not far from
the mark when, after careful review,
he said: II consider it one of the
best compendiums upon that subject
with which | am acquainted and for
brevity, conciseness, adaptability and
the general need, meets a desideratum
long felt in the schools of high grade
all over the land"
The science Of logic, or reasoning, is
generally difficult to the student as pre-.
sented in most of the books. Prof.
Burney is not only brief, but his def.
nitions and terms are clear and suscep.
tible of being easily understood as the
student advances. Many OF our text
books on other subjects are not as con.
else and clear in their definitions as
they should be,
No doubt this little book will become
very popular with teachers and pupils
as soon as they become acquainted with
it. 1t is handsomely bound, good pa
per and clear print. 1t contains an ap-
pendix of parliamentary law, which
should he understood by every school
boy and citizen who desires TO become
familiar with parliamentary usages.
Another consideration in its favor is
the price of the book, which is rs cents
retail and 80 cents on first introduction.
We bespeak for the book that consider.
alton and favor which it merits,
The book is on sale at retail and In
PRODUCTION at ]. B. Ritchey's Drug and
Book store. Any teacher can have
the privilege of examing the book by
applying to ]. B. Ritcbey.

To the Pupils of Our Schools.

To the Standard.
Having written one article to set
you to thinking, l now present to you
the Arithmetical example which l
promised. / hope to receive at least
fifty solutions from the different schools
in Warren county. The pupils who
send to me a solution, can mail it di-
rectly to me, or, if they wish to save
two cents, they can send it by some
friend to my Office. If | am not in the
Office, Mr.. Jaco, who occupies the Of
fee with me, will take charge of the
paper.
In deciding which solution is best,
shall pay no regard to the hand writ.
ing. shall notice the grammatical
accuracy, the photography, the punctu.
alton, and the mathematical accuracy
and clearness of the solution. All so.
lutions must be in by the 9Th of next
month.
Here is the example:
A ship of war sailed with $50 men,
and provisions for a cruise of Is months.
At the end of three months she captured
an enemy's vessel, and put rs men on
board of her. Five months after, she
captured and sunk another vessel, and
took on board the crew, consisting oi
$50 men. How long did the provis
ions last from the commencement Of
the cruise?

Gentlemen from McMinnville, in at.

that Senator Swafford never spoke a

this boisterous spirit she exercised great
influence. She is in great trouble over
his death, 1t is said that one ball
from Swaford's pistol imbedded itself
in the chamber of his adversary's wea>
