HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC is a combination of all the ingredients qf the Bit ters, with pf-RK Santa Cruz Rum.Orange, ete. It is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in case where some pure alcoholic fdimulus is required. You will bear in mind that those remedies areen tirely different from any others advertised for the cure of the diseases named, these being scientific preparations of medicinal extracts, while the oth ers are mere decoctions of rum in some form The TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to the public. Its taste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it, whila its life-giving, exhilarating and medicinal quali ties have caused it to be known as the greatest oi all tonics. DEBILITY.

I shall confine myself the i suggestions from the State Superinten dent, as published in the June number of the Journal, in making this report, and shall first speak of Educational Progress in the county, duriug the past year. We have repeatedly asked for more new houses, better furniture, more school apparatus, more graded schools, higher wages, and more com petent teachers; but above all we have hoped for better, more thorough, local supervision. During the year we have realized all that could be expected, in regard to change in houses, furniture and apparatus. No change has bef n made in the number of our graded schools. Those graded, have given general satisfaction. A* soon as the buildings, now in progress of erec tion in several parts of the county, ! shall be completed, we shall be able to j report, at least an increase in the num ber of graded schools. 2. House# and Grounds. In 18G7, we built four new houses ; in 1868, twelve ; this year, twenty new houses were erected, one tenth of the whole number in thecounty. Of these, two were built in Bedford township, at a cost of SIBO7 ; three in Cumberland Valley, at a cost of $1380; one in Hope well, $350; one in Juniata, $100; two in Monroe, $780; two in Napier, sKf>B; one in West Providence, $377 ; one in Saxton borough, $1000; one in St. Clair, $350; two in Southampton, $676 ; two in Union, cost not ascertained; two in Middle Woodbury at a cost of $1275. They are all substantial and comfor table buildings. With two exceptions they occupy good sites and have suita ble play grounds. The one built in Saxton is the best of j the kind in the county. It is a frame j building, 42 ft. 3 in. long, 26 feet, 6 in. j wide, and 16 feet 8 in. from floor to ceil- j ing, It contains two anti-rooms for j extra clothing, and the whole building j can be thoroughly ventilated. The site j is a beautiful ono, and when the \ grounds are properly enclosed and im proved, a work the directors intend do ; ing duriug the coming year, they will be second to none hi thecoun- j ty. Our people are beginning to give : more attention to school grounds.— j Convenience of access, beauty of loca- | tion, and suitable play grounds are no ' longer overlooked, when a new school I house is to be built. As fast as "these j monuments to the carelessness or in- I competency of those who placed them \ on bleak hill tops, or steep mountain | sides, in rugged ravines or swampy flats," rot away others, more favorably j located, take their places. The direc tors of Sehellsburg borough, have, at ] length, secured a good site, and are e j rectinga fine brick building, for their schools. For the last three years no public school was taught here. Pri vate schools were, however, liberally ! supported. 3. Furniture and Apparatus. Twenty five houses were supplied i with new and improved furniture. Ten were supplied with apparatus. Although thedirectors have,during the past three years, manifested great wil lingness to furnish apparatus, and have in many parts of the county supplied all that the means of t he districts would warrant, yet there is room, need, for more. We want better black boards in many of the schools. Charts and outline maps are needed in others. It is true, teachers do not always use the apparatus at their command—some men would not cut wood, though you placed an ax in their hands—yet most of our teachers are ready and willing to use apparatus to some good purpose if it is supplied them. The teacher who, about the middle of his last term, had not brought the outline maps from a near neighbor's house to a school room, and who had "no time" to go and procure crayon, although he had a a large ckfss in Geography and Arith '"'Vis not be-long to this latter ™ etic ' ~ f Teocher fi. Qualifications and Safari*,* Two hundred and three teac.. were employed, one hundred an. inexperienced. The county institute was, in number of teachers attending and in general interest, more successful than the one held last year. The principal instruc tors and lecturers, were, J'rof. 11. B. Zimmerman, Ex-Supt. of Juniata Co., Prof. R. A. McClure, of Chambers burg, Prof. A. Stevens, of Pittsburg, Prof. J. M. Reynolds, of Lancaster, Donald St. Geo. Eraser, of North Point, and The whole work done by the conven tion was of a practical character. The Press.— The papers of the county, the Bedford Inquirer, Bedford Gazette and Bedford County .Press, have taken more interest in educational matters than heretofore, publishing editorial notices of the Normal School, full ac counts of the proceedings of the Teach er's Institute, annual report of the co. superintendent, and other matters re lating to education. The Clergy.—Two years ago we had a sermon on education from the Presby terian pulpit, Bedford, Pa. Since then the Clergy have remaiued silent on tho subject. Why this is, Ido not know. It is a fact that we cannot deny, that our ministers seldom, if ever, visit our schools. In vain we cast our eyes down the list of "visitors," in the teach er's report book, for the name of tho clergyman residing in the district. It is not there. Have the teachers neg lected to note the visit? Surely the clergy, above all others, should have the highest interest in the success of our public schools. These boys and girls will soon grow up to be men ar,d women. They are to bo the futi r; "stay and support" of the church. Would it not be well, then, for our Ministers to call on the teacher, to en- j courage the scholar? There is too j much of this "standing back" on the j part of those, who, if they would but come forward, could be of.powerful aid in this work. Schools. —Of the whole number open, j twelve are graded; one hundred and | seventy nine were well classified; in one hundred and eighty one the books were uniform, and the Bible was daily read, either by the teacher or by the scholars and teacher, in one hundred arid fifty nine. There are still twenty two schools in which the books are not uniform. The directors of these have decided upon a uniform series of books, but their exclusive use has never been enforced. Every teacher knows how the usefulness of the school is impaired by this ruinous policy. It might be sound policy to withhold the state aid from such schools until the directors thereof comply with the law in this particular. The law is plain, and the wisdom in it so manifest that no intel ligent board should hesitate one mo ment in fulfilling it to the letter. Obstacles in the way of Improvement. Few new obstacles have presented themselves, during the year. Those most in the way, and the means calcu lated to promote improvement, I re ferred to at some length in my last re port, to which the reader may turn. "We must have more efficient local supervision," is the cry we hear every where. But how is this to be brought about. In my judgment there is but one way; elect three men for each dis trict—the best men in the district. Let these form a board, president, secreta ry and treasurer; select from among these the one possessing the most knowledge of schools, as district super intendent, whose duty it shall be to visit the schools regularly, at least once a month. Pay the board for every day actually engaged in transacting the business of the district. Make them sworn officers. This subject has been agitated again and again in our con ventions, and it sceius about time that we have some legislation on it. If directors, as they are now elected, would carry out the laws strictly, and if parents would look to the interest of their children, supply them with prop er books, see that they make good use of them, send them regularly to school, uphold the teacher, encourage hint by their visits and kind words, most of the obstacles in the way of improvement would disappear; but this is rarely done, directors are not paid for their services and they frequently do the least possible amount of work. Not receiving any pay themselves, they of ten feel illiberal when teachers are to be employed; not receiving any pay, when the superintendent calls on them to visit schools with him, he often hears the excuse, "it won't pay me to ride through the storm." I am more than ever convinced, that many teachers fail because the schools are not visited oftener by some effi cient officers. The superintendent can at most, in a county like this, visit all tho schools, only once, in a term of four months. Many schools must, therefoie, remain unvisited until the third month. The teacher makes mistake after mis take, until the time arrives when the superintendent reaches the school. He finds it a failure, which might have been prevented had the school been visited in the first month. Concluding Remar':s.—l take this op portunity of thanking my many friends, throughout the county for their many kindnesses toward me during the past three years. To the Department, I am sensibly indebted for the many words of advice, and the promptness with which they have al ways answered when called upon. I tnank each and all and wish them abundant success. H. \V. FISHER. County Sup't. THE ISOTS : WHAT l!s TO I$E DOVE WITH Tl£ EM ? "What shall I do with my boy?" is one of the most frequent inquiries made by parents nowadays, and a most important inquiry it is; for it cannot be denied that never before have boys had such trivial opportunities of mak ing useful men of themselves. NN e I mean by this, says the Philadelphia fjerald, that the abolishing of system, has been "-ostiously upon the " -*dess some he old ap 4 - de >perating most u^. •ising generation, and u.. thing is done to remedy existing fects, it is very apparent that the next generation will boast of fewer really skilled American workmen than will be consistent with our great industrial interests. The subject is one of vital interest not merely to the boys them selves, but to the country at large; and it demands the careful and serious con sideration of every well-wisher of A merican industry. The professions are over-crowded while merchants are be sieged by hosts of boys who have been taught to believe that the calling of a mechanic is not a respectable one, and that, on the other hand, the very acme of respectability is attained when they succeed in obtaining situations as er rand boys, or prospective salesmen or clerks. Now, this demands a remedy. What this remedy is, or how it is to be secured, we are not prepared to say ; but it is very evident that one of the very first steps towards securing it is to impress boys with the idea that there is a great furure for skilled mechanics in the United States—not merely steady, plodding workmen, but men who have intelligent heads to direct skillful hands. Every day we are more and more sensibly confronted with tl.e fact that of the number of competent mechanics now employed in our work shops and factories, comparatively few are of American birth and education, at least much fewer of them than should be the case. Now, this should not be. The dignity of American labor should be rapidly and imperatively mantained; VOL. 64.—WHOLE No. 5.4U5. and the only way to maintain it is to so educate the rising generation of me chanics, that, in all branches of skilled labor, they will not only be able to com pete with but excel all competitors, and hold in their own hands the reputation of American mechanics, which was so well and fully established years ago, but which, for the reasons we have named, is likely to suffer heavy detri ment. HOPE AND FARM. Cultivation of Pole Beans. —Every year some parties are greatly exercised about the supply of bean poles. Thecultiva ticn of Lima or Carolina, or Butter beans, or any other of the climbing va rieties has been regarded as inseparable from a supply of suitable poles, and by good, or bad management, many of these disappear between the closeof the Autumn and theopeningof the Spring, when they are again called into requi sition, and then there is sometimes trouble to get a fresh supply. A wri ter in the Horticulturist, gives his expe rience on the subject, tells how at the time of his bean planting, he had no poles and for some cause or other failed to procure a supply, and then bethought him that probably the laying of a small quantity of apple brush in the neighborhood of the hills might afford the vines a support, and he spread his apple brush over the ground according ly, and found the plan worked so well, that hfe follows it from preference. It ap pears, that the plants have an advan tage from the shade given by the vine in trailing over the brush, because the ground is kept moist and at an even temperature, and moreover there is the obvious advantage of protection from high winds, which often play havoc with the tall poles in the beau patch. The experiment is worth trying. We believe it will be found to be all that is represented. We know, that vears ago a practical gardener told us, that he had long since abandoned the use of bean poles in raising Limas, that he planted them in hills and pinched the ends of the vines. His representation was that the yield was greatly increas ed, and the cultivation more conveni,- J ent.— Jour, of the Farm. Caught are Curative. —lt is nature's cure, and to smother cough without re moving what causes it, is to hinder na ture, and take away ail chance of cure. When a man clearly has the consumption, coughs a great deal, has been bringing up yellow matter for a long time, if his cough should subside, he will inevitably die in three or four days; because the cough helps to bring that matter out of the lungs, and keep them clear ; but when the cough be comes so weak or so unfrequent as not to remove the matter as fast as it is formed, the lungs begin to fill up with it, air cannot get in, and life ends. — The only hope of curing consumption is to promote cough on the one hand, so as to get the lungs clear of the matter in them to prevent the formation of more. Hut the popular sentiment is, that in proportion as there is less cough, the chances of life are increas ing, and willingly and hopefully the patient takes what "cures his cough," and is thus led a willing victim to the grave of his own digging. So ranch are men, with all their boasted intel ligence, like the silly creature which feels itself safe when it can hide its head in a hole, to be crushed the next instant in the jaws of its relentless pur suer.— Hall's Journal of Health. The Effect of Charcoal on Plotters.— A horticulturist in England, purchas ed a rose bush full of promising buds —the flowers however were of a failed hue. lie covered the earth in the pot about an inch thick with pulverized charcoal, and was surprised, some days afterward, to find the blooms of a fine lively rose color. He repeat ed the experiment another season with the same result. He then tried the powdered charcoal upon petunias, and found that both the white and colored flowers, and the white petunias became veined with violet tints; the vioiets became covered with irregular spots of a blush or almost black tint. Many persons who admired them thought ! they were choice new varieties from the seed. Yellow flowers appear to lie ! insensible to the influence of charcoal. 1 A fashion paper in Paris, edited by 1 ladies, says that American ladies are 1 no longer the favorites of good society ? that they used to be.
