CyFiipr.i'.s of" education who wish to enlighten
the public on the subject of teaching the "young
idea how to shoot," ate respectfully requested to
send communications to the above, care of "Bed
ford Gazette."
FEMININE VS. MASCULINE.
Bedford Countj has only 13 female teach
ers! ! The official report says so! Ye gods!
whither are we tending' VVhyhavn't we
more ? One third of the teachers in the slate
are females. At this rale we should have sixty,
since we have IBi in all. Why havn't we our
full share. They would teach belter, and be a
clear gain in dollars and cents.
Female teachets do teach more skillfully.—
They seem just made lor the business. With
them ability to teach is natural; with men it
must generally be acquired by practice or by
"normal instruction They possess livelier
sensibility and can sympathize with pupils
more readily. They are more refined in man
ner and feeling ; and they would drive out of
our school-rooms much coarseness and vulgari
ty with which they are now disgraced and pol
luted. They request; men command. They
win confidence and love; men enforce obedi
ence. They govern by tact; men by power.
All experience demonstrates their superior nat
ural abilily to teach. Few deny it who have
seen the matter fully tested. There should be
more of them in this county and throughout the
central part of the state. The female teacher
is an article much needed in this market.
But where are they to come from ? Who
are they to be ? We answer, they are not to
come from east of the Hudson river; they are
not to be Yankees. Yankees don't understand
our ways. We are Dutch and proud of it ; they
are not and proud ot it. They have different
thoughts and feelings. They hare grown up
amid another civilization, and formed social
and domestinhabits between which and our own
there is no harmony. They dislike us because
they don't understand us. They don't get a
long well. We have seen them tried. We
don't want them. Give us home products.—
No other can do so well. Give us girls born
and bred among us, and consequently acquaint
ed with our social habits and feelings—with
our civilization. Snd them away to be educa
ted if needs be, but whet? they are competent to
teach,let them go home instead cf abroad. Let
every county and district supply its own female
teacher? who shall live at horr.e and teach the
schools they were taught in. Ttre argument,
that one can not teach wheie he is well known,
is all twaddle—it is worse, ii is ndiculous and
ruinous. It only applies to the incompetent.
These may find it necesjary to go where their
ignorance is not known and where for a brief
time they can cover it up. This itinerancy
should cease, and especially among females.—
The skillful teacher can teach all the better for
being well known, and as he becomes better
known, he will be better liked and more ap
preciated. Give us home teachers. They suc
ceed. We have seen them tried.
One hundred of the school* of this county
coulil he taught quite as well by females : and
this would be again of many thousand dollars
annually. But, says the objector, "they cr/nV
govern ." But we know better. They can
govern. A skillful lady can control any pupil
that is fit to be in the school-room at all !
Think of it. A gain of several thousand dol
lars annually, and better schools to boot.
"But," asks one, "do you mean to say we
actually save several thousand dollars in mo
ney ?" Certainly not, Air. Stingy. You were
smiling at the prospect. Permit us to dispel
the sickly grin which nothing but money could
coax across your acid countenance. VVe mean
no such thing. You are not to save a single
"red." You need not wince and wriggle so,
Sir Money Bags-we mean you , Old Skin FEn ! ;
you that voted year after year to reduce salaries
till you got them down to starvation rates and
then raised the teachers' board : because, as you
said, "/axis is high and monish scarce." VVe
said you should gain ; not that you should save.
We will tell you how. The plan is simple.—
Employ females in most of the schools, taking
care to get none but '.he best, and pay them as
much as you psy now. Of course this can not
be done at present ; but educate your daughters
till it can be done. Wake up, and in Sveytars
you can do this in most cases without going be
yond your own district. In this way you will
get the highest female talent for the same mo
ney you now paj for second or third rate teach
ers. Your schools will cost the same and be
worth fifty per cent more. And then, do not
try to starve your teachers on half pay. If
you do, they .will get married, and quit teach
ing in disgust ; and it-will serve you right too.
This is the way you are to gain. Try it.
HELEN.
Qjr"lt roust be very encouraging to the
friends ol education throughout the county,that
in these beligertnt limes when business is near
ly paralyzed, and everything is swallowed up
by the all-absorbing question, the present civil
war, we have a medium through which we can
discuss matters pertaining to the cause ol com
mon schools, r.d to education generally. This
shows a healthy state of feeling toward our
cause. Whilst it is our sacred duty to disarm
rebellion and fight the enemies ot civil and re
ligious liberty eveiy where, the duties which we
owe to our race, make the education of the
masses a mailer ot no less, if not ol more impor
tance. "We must educate !we must educate,
or we must peiish hv our own prosperity."

PATENT INSULATED FULL IRON FRAME
NEW SCALE, GRAND, AND SQUARE
PIANO FORTES.
THE INSULATED FRAME preserves the ori
ginal tone of the instrument in all its purity, secu
ring it for all time against that most disagreeable
nequality of tone invariably found in all other Iron
Frame Piano Fortes. It greatly strengthens the
case, ar.d thus keeps the Piano Forte much longer
in tune. It gives the instrument a much fuller,
richer, and sweeter tone. It adapts the Piano to al
climates, and to ell changes of atmosphere, and in
ell respects it is pronounceo by our best "artistes'
he greatest improvement of the age in Piano Forte
construction ; producing an instrument acknowl
edged to be superior to all others made in this coun
try or Europe.
A few testimonials from some of the most em
inent Pianists and Musician in the
world, in regard to the Superior
ity of our JYew Scale Patent
Insulated Piano
Fo r tes.
"I have examined the Piano Fortes of Lighte 4c
Bradbury's with entire satisfaction. I know not
that there are any others better, either in our own
country or elsewhere.
"DR. LOWELL MASON."
"In clearness, richness, and volume ot tone, deli
cacy, elasticity of touch , and fine repeating action,
1 have never played upon their equal.
"H. A. WOLLENHAL'PT..'
"fn volume, richness, evennessand puritv of tone,
and in delicacy ot touch, they certainly excel, and
in that beautiful singing quality so desirable, yet
so seldom foend.
WILLIAM MASON."
"I have never played upon so rich and heavy a
tone Square Piano Forte.
"ARTHUR NAPOLEON."
"I am astonished and delighted with the New
Scale Iron Frame Piano Fortes made by you. There
must be a splendid future for Lighte & Bradbury's
Piano Fortes.
"GEO. F. ROOT."
"1 have never played upon so fine an instrument.
"GEO. F. BRISTOW."
"I consider them as to beauty, richness, fullness,
and equality of tone, as well as their agreeable, e
lastic touch, equal, if not superior, to any Pianos
made in this countrv or Europe
KARL SVELS."
"They have all the requirements for a superior
interpretation of both classical and modern compo
sitions.
"MAURICE STRAKOSH."
"It affords me pleasure to add my testimony of
the many artistes who speak in the highest terms to
the superior excellence of your New Scale Patent
Insulated Iron Frame Piano Fortes, and I must say
that yonr New Scale very far surpasses all your
former efforts, producing an instrument far superi
or in all the excellencies that constitute a perfect
Piano Foite, to anv with which I am acquainted.
"THF.O. EISFELD."
"Having examined your New Scate Jron Frame
Pianos, we must expresr enr delight and pleasure
at their superior excellence. For their peculiar
rich volume of tone, tine elastic touch, and in all
the requisites necessary for perfection in the instru
ment, we must say, in all our experience, we have
seen nothing to compare with them, and we can
most cordially recommend Ihem to our friends and
the public
"CHAS. FRADF.L."
"CARL BERGMAN."
"1 tke much pleasure in giving my testimony
in favor of the beautiful Pianos which I have re
cently seen made by your firm. In power, quanti
ty, and equality of tone, they certainly excel ;
while for that peculiarly rich, singing tone, that is
so invaluable as an accompaniment to the voice,
sustaining and blending with it, 1 have rarely met
with theirequal.
"C. BASSINI."
"It is with pleasure 1 giva mv testimony to the
excellence of your Pianos in general, and especial
al to th idmirable new invention of Mr. Lighte,
ny improvement which I regard as the mostiimpor
tant yet made in the manufacture of first-class in
struments.
"LOUIS ERNST."
"1 take pleasuie in stating my favorable opin
ion ot your New Scale Iron Frame Piano Fortes.
Among many superior Piano Fortes manufactured
in New York, they certainly must rank second to
none of them for strength, purity, and richness of
tone, together with extraordinary vibratory quali
ties. 1 have also had frequent opportunities, in the
schools, during the past four years, to notice the
duiability of your instruments, and this under se
vere and unremitted trial*.
"GEO. H.CURTIS."
"The high reputation which they have obtained
for their fine brilliant tone, pleasant touch and pow
er, have given them the prelerence over those of
all other manufactures, in the Public Schools of
New York, in which over one hundred are now in
daily use ; some twelve or fifteen of which are in
departments where I have had the pleasure of teach
ing, and where 1 have used them for the last five
years.
"MARCUS COLBURN."
"Being pleased with your steady ptogress in im
proving the quality of your Pianos, 1 cannot refrain
from saying to you, alter some fourteen years
knowledge of them, that the New Scale with Iron
Frame, which I have seen, I think the best Piano I
erei saw. I say this after having purchased over
two hundred of your Piano Fortes.

Baring inherited a Scrofulous Infection. I have Buffered
from it in various wsys for years. Sometimes it burst
out in Ulcere on my hands and arms; sometimes it
turned inward and distressed me at the stomach. Two
years ago it broke out on my heed and covered tuv scalp
and ears with one tore, which was painful and loathsome
beyond description. 1 tried many medicines and several
physietens, but without much relief from any thing. In
fact, the disorder grew worse. At length I was rvjoloed
to read in the Gospel Messenger that you had prepared
an alterative (SarsapariUa), for 1 knew from TOUT reputa
tion that any thing yon made must be good. I sent to
Cincinnati and got it, and used it till it enred me. I took
it, as you advise, in small doses of a teaepoonfril over e
month, and used almost three bottles. New and healthy
skin soon began to form under the scab, which after s
while fell off. My skin is now dear, and I know by my
feelings that the disease has gone from my system. You
can well believe that I feel what 1 am saying when I tell
you, that I bold you to be one of the apostles of the age,
and remain ever gratefully. Yours,

alterative in the numerous complaints for which we
employ such a remedy, hut especially In Female Mieuiei
of the Scrofulous diathesis. I have cured many inveter

plaint was caused by ulceration of the vterut. The ulcer
ation itself was soon cured. Nothing within my knowt
edge equals it for these female derangements."
Edward S. Marrow, of Newbury, Ala-, writes, " A dan
gerous ovarian tumor on one of tho females in my family,
which hail dolled all the remedies we could emplov, has
at leugth been completely cured by your Extract of Sar

Sarsaparilla aa the last resort before cutting, aud it
proved effectual. After taking your remedy eight weeks

D*. J. C. AT** T Sir, I cheerfully comply with the re
?uest of yoor agent, and report to you some of the effect*
have realized with your Sarsaparilla.
I have cured with it, in my practice, most of the coos
plaints for which it is recommended, mid have fonnd its
affects truly wonderful in the cure of I entreat and Jfcr
turial Disease. One of my patieuts had Syphilitic ulcers
in his throat, which were consuming his palsto aud tlx
top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla. steodilv taken,
cured him in five weeks. Another was attacked by sec
ondary symptoms in his nose, and the ulceration hod
eaten away a considerable part of it, so that I believe the
disorder woeld aoon reach his brain and kill him. But it
yielded to my administration of your Sarsaparilla; tho
ulcere healed, aud he is well again, uot of course without
some disfiguration to his lace. A woman who had been
treated for the same disorder by mercury was suffering
from this poison in her bones. They had become so sen
sitive to the weather that on a damp day she suffered ex
cruciating pain in her joints and hones. Phe, too, was
cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla in a few weeks. I
know from its formula, which your agent gave me. that i
this i'reparatiun from your laboratory must tie a gi wot
rsruedy; consoqueuily, these truly remaikabie results
with it have not surprised me.
