bottle, and 1T last his father pointed out
to him a great hulk of a vessel that had
recently been wrecked. 1t had on it an
immense load of coal-several hundred
tons. YOu could now look into it and
see piles of coal: but no one could get
at it, and it would cost more to get it
out than it was worth. So at last the
coal was sold for eleven dol ars How

School EXHIBITION.

SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
The citizens Of Ursina and surrounding
country were favored with an exhibition on
Wednesday evening, April ID, under the
auspices Of the Ursln a public schools, of
which Prof j. Schrock is principal. Proba
bly, owing in measure to the perfect sue
cess ofexhibitions previously held in this
vicinity. the house was well filled, notwi;h-
standing the extreme inclemency Of the
weather.
The programme consisted Of select read
ings declamations, dialogues and vocal and
instrumental music. The exercises were
also well iuterspersed with music by the
British Brass Band. which added not a little
to the interest Of the exercises. The uni
form, easy, graceful and exact manner that
characterized the performances ofthe schol-
ars. many of whom were comparatively
young, could only have been the result Of
the greatest care on the part Of both teacher
and pupil in preparation.
The same class exhibited at Confluence on
Saturday evening, April 9th. The weather
was very favorable, and although some Of
the performers were absent, the exercises
were greeted with delight by thoroughly
crowded house On the whole, the eXercis-
e. were conducted in such a manner as to
reflect much credit on both the school and
teacher.
Being convinced, as We are, that one Of
the greatest duties of the teacher Is 10 inter
ngingle cheerfulness and sunshine with the
Dschool work, may We not ask Of the worthy
class Of pedagosues who have had the pleas
ure Of witnessing an exhibition Of this
kind. if this Is not one of the very best
methods of securing this Snd, as well as be
ing of almost infinite value to the pupil

To FARMERS OF PENNsYLyANIA:
Gentleman For oyer twenty eight years
we have manufactured Raw Bone PhoS-

hold words in nearly every section of the
country. In many communities the demand
for them has increased while in others the
sales have declined, on account of the pref
erence for lower-priced goods. Six years
ago. finding that the demand for goods of
lower cost had become almost universal and
having peculiar advantages of raw materials
and manufacturing facilities, we determined
to meet this demand, and introduced a
twenty five dollar Phosphate, made by a new
process exclusively our own. The quick
ness with which this Phosphate sprang into
use among intelligent farmers will be shown
by the following statement:

The reports of the action of the S25 Phos-
phate have been satisfactory in every case
