MENNIUMII
..) - 11....NY KILLED AND A. LA.E.GE NUM-
BIM, WOUNDED
Over IWO hundred accidents from kick
ing and running away of horses (well/Ted
during the past year, in Lancaster county
alone nearly all of which resulted in inju
ring the drivers, killing some, maiming
and wounding others, and in most cases,
hreal:ing c3stty carriages and Intrting the
horses.
Of the ;thvve, nine-tenths were tame
family horse: , The safety bridle will put
an end to all tell needless accidents, and
with the Sat;.. j - Lines tile speed of every
horse is elt , ily much increased.
At the special electing of the Saddlers of
Lancaster env, Nov. 2.7', 1865. the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
War:up:As, The usefulness, power and
safety of Dr. lfartman's Safety Bridle and
Lines have been publicly demonstrated
demonstrated in the presence of from one
thous:111cl to fifteen hundred persons to
their entire satisfaction; and since it was
proven at the ,Millersville horse exhibition
on fon , of the most vicious mut confirmed
kickers and runaways, that with the Safety
Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible
for a horse either to kick or runaway;
therefore
Resolved, That we the Saddlers of Lan
caster county, Pa., believe that the Safety
Bridle and Lines accomplish all and even
more, than is claimed by the patentee, in
preventing horses from - kicking and run
ning away.
Ite.olve(l, that in view of the above facts
we deem it our legitimate duty, both indi
vidually and collectively, to exert all hon
orable means to at once introduce the
Bridle and Lines, because in doing so we
in If. very great measure prevent all acci
dents with horses, while with the old and
defective bridle we put in great jeopardy
both life and limb.
Resolved, That hereafter we manufacture
no other but Safety Bridles, unless especi
ally ordered.
The price of individual Rights is $5 each;
County Rights, from 100.00 to 500.00 aecor 7
(ling to population—these containing large
cities excepted.
No other investment before the public
presents such inducements of making
money. In every county there are at least
twenty townships, and in each township
at least one hundred persons who drive
horses—which at five dollars for an indi
vidual right will amount to $5OO per town
ship, and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for
each county' at the rate of twenty townships
at rive hundred dollars each I have not
the least doubt but that amount of money
can be made out of a county with proper
business tact and energy. The price of
counties is so small as to place the invest
ment in the hands of every one, for few are
so poor as to be unable to raise one hull
dnid dollars.
Another feature about this invention is
that the proprietor of the territory need not
manufacture the bridles and lines as the
ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a
Safety. The lines only require to be made
to order, - and these can be made by any
saddler for a trifle more than the ordinary
lines. Hence, unlike other patents, the
right to use it only is sold.
No man need wish for a greater fortune
than right of a. State. To show the confi
dence the pat e ntee has in his inYention,he
offers to pay 1,000 dollars for 'any horse
that can either kick or run away when
under' the' influenceof the Safety Bridle
and Lines. For' County and State rights
address for circular, and for Individual
Rights, enclose five dollars to S. B. Hart
man, Millersville, Lancaster co., .Ba.

Remarks on Arithmetic.
Ma. EDITOR :----Writing a series of
articles upon any subject or subjects,
with no one to respond, or discuss your
series, is like rising to deliver a lecture,
which always caused embarrassment to
toe, from the fact that one of two things
is inevitable, viz : I must either tell the
audience something that they do know,
or something that they do not know.—
Now my good sense naturally revolts
from the idea of wasting their time and
mine in telling them what they already
know, and my modesty shrinks from the
assumption of the ability to tell them
what they do not know. I have always
felt as tho' the mere fact of delivering a
lecture, was saying iu effect "Now La
dies and Gentlemen I give attention, and
learn wisdom front my bps," whereas the
Lyceum or Debating club affords the
means of 'interchange of opinion upon all
subjects, and a person can give his own
opinion, and his reason for that opinion,
much better when opposed to the opin
ion of seine other, than when his opin
ions are received, as by the audience at
a lecture, where no one feels at liberty
to dispute. Just so with the writer for
a paper- 7 -if some one will show that the
subject ot . wheli he treats has Leo side.'s
to 'it, he can defend and enforce his
views'mucli better than when they are
passively received. Therefore, as I can
not find any evidence of my articles
awakening any interest, or doing any
good. I shall content myself with ful
filling my implied promise to say a few
words on the subject of Arithmetic and
then close my series.
I commenced my remarks on Gram
mar by saying that I learned a great
deal of nonsense under that name when
I went to school, "now—forty—years—
ago—" I cannot say that with regard
to Arithmetic, and kindred branches, for
the text books of that day were compiled
in a way that required a knowledge of
the subject on the part of the teacher ;
whereas the modern text books are got
up in such a way as to supersede the ne
cessity of a teacher entirely—or rather
—they are designated to take the plan of
the teacher, and the teacher is too often
willing, titre' indolence perhaps iu most
cases, but frequently thro' inability—
to let the beck be the teacher and all
that is required of the rupil is the solu
tion of the problems—i.e. going thro'
stereotyped forum to make certain opera
tions produce results, without ever en
quiring into the principles involved in
the said operations. They teach the
"bows" without the "whys"—there lies
the mistake.

Some few years ago I was present at the
house of a County Superintendent who
had just succeeded in putting a stop to
the habit, (formerly prevailing among
the School Directors of the County,) of
permitting the school house to be occu
pied during the Summer, by Teachers—
blind Laders of the blind—who had
never submitted their qualifications to
the test of an examination, or having
done so, had failed to procure such cer
tificates as would justify the Directors in
emploing them during the winter ses
sions. Whilst I was at the Superinten
dent's house, a young man came in and
requested an examination,as he had been
requested to take charge of a school in
the. neighborhood. The official asked
hint what his pretensions were in Arith
metic ? Tie answered that he had " gone
through Greenleaf 's Common School
Arithmetic twice." " Then," sail the
"I Dead not consume much time
with that branch, but will merely pro
pound a few leading questions. What is
the difference between Geometrical and
Arithmetical Progression ?" " I really
don't know that I can answer your ques
tion, but I can work. the sums in both"
said the applicant. Said the Sup't, "In
one the series increases or diminishes by
a common ratio, in the other by a coin-

mon. difference. By the way, what is
Ratio ?" " I don't know," said the, ap
plicant again. " What is Proportion ?"
Again, I don't know, but I can work the
rule." "Ah ! there it is" " said the Su
perintendent, " the rule—the rule—l
wish the books were compiled iu the
good old way, so that Teachers we'd teach
fewer rules and more principles. You
say you can werk the rule ; now if one
pound of butter cost 20 cents what are
two pounds worth ?" Applicant stated
his proposition thus; `1:31): : 2 : 40!
" Q. E. D." thought he. The Sup't then
explained to hini Proportion 'was an
equality of Ratios, and that Ratio was
the relation which sonic quantity or
thing bore to some other of the same
kind and that there could be no relation
between a pound of butter and 20 cents,
and so on, through the whole range of
the subject of Arithmetic he found the
applicant able to solve any problem in
Greenleaf, with the book before him to re
fer to the rules. He was found equally
deficient in other branches,and of course
no certificate issued. Here was a case
of a young. man of quite good natural
parts, who, through the incapacity of his
Teachers,had devoted years to the study
of Arithmetic (?) and was only able to
acid, substract, multiply and divide. He
had really only mastered the four primary
rules and was able to apply them mechan
ically when his rules told him to do so,
and yet lie wished to teach Arithmetic
forsooth—a science that he knew noth
ing about—are there any such now-a
days ?
Mental Arithmetic is a branch of
modern education, the value of which,
in training of the mind, can hardly be
overestimated, if properly taught; bat is
it properly taught in the majority of our
schools? Alth !' many years have
passed since then, I can hardly repress
a laugh when I think of the first class I
ever saw (not heard) in Mental *Arith
metic. It was the first day I assumed
the dignity of the Pedagogue. \ My pre
decessor had left me- a schedule of the
order of exercises, 41 I adhered to his
routine until the Middle of The - afierMio - n
session, when, on calling the ",Franklin
Olais in Matra Aiith tic"-1 I saw- ,_a-;
dozen or more strapping boys of 14 to 17
years of age come striding Up, to the class
bench, each feeling his dignity as a mem
ber of a class with such a high sounding
name, and each with a slate in his hand.
That was the last of the "Franklin Class
in Mental Arithmetic." I . disbanded it
instanter. No doubt many Teachers
will laugh at the idea, if any condescend
to read this article, but I would respect
fully ask them if many of them are not
teaching that important branch pretty
much as my worthy predecessor taught
it. I find that in most schools of which
I have any knowledge, the recitation for
to-morrow is assigned to the class to-day.
The book, (each pupil has a book.) is
taken home and the problems are all
worked out on- the slate at home, and
thoroughly conned, then the next day
they are recited under the name of Men
tul Arithmetic, when the thine:is merely
the recollection or Written Arithmetic.
"would as soon think of calling a thor
oughly studied speech, "extemporane
ous," because the speaker had not his
manuscript in sie:lit.
Mr. Editor,l ant sorry to have to leave
the field for want of' assistance in the dis
cussion of these important subjects, but
the absence of all interest on the part of

The Cholera—Homeopathie S.
Alopat hie Treatment.
This discussion cow going on in
Europe concerning the Asiatic cholera,
and its prevention and cure,have brought
the principles of homeopathy prominently
before the public, so that anything re
lating thereto is a matter of general
interest.
It is asserted that eighty per cent. of
cures effected in Europe have been the
result of homeopathic remedies. It is
further elaimcd that, this is due to the
application of the principle set forth in
a late edition cf Ilahnetnan's Organon,
viz: the combivatinn of the remedies.
Many of the old school homeopathists
of Europe pronounce this theory heretil
cal, despite its strong indorsement. A
similar controversy created a similar
excitement among medical men in this
country some years ago, when Dr. Hum
p h rey, the, eminent homeopathic physi
cian and lecturer, announced the same
doctrine.

A.Bit of War History.--Lee's Sur
render Premeditated. *
The following passage is from the
forthcoming volume of Pollard's south
ern history of" The fourth year of the
jPar:"
There can be no doubt in history that
General Lee, in taking his army away
from Richmond and Petersburg, had de
cided, in his own mind, upon the hope
lessnoss of the war, and had predeter
i mined its surrender. The most striking
pro( fof this is, that on his retreat there
was no order published against straggling
)—a thing unprecedented in all deliber-,
ate and stragetic retreats—and nothing
whatever clone to maintain, discipline.—
_
The men were not animated by the style
of general orders usual on such occasions
They straggled and deserted almost
will. An idea ran through the Virginia
troops that i vith the abandonment of
Richmond the war was hopeless, and that.
they would be justified in refusing to
fight outside the limits of their State.—
Nothing was done to check the notorious
circulation of this notion in the army.—
The Virginia troops scattered off to their
homes almost every mile of the route.—
We have seen that Pickett was left with
only a handfull of men. Some of the
brigade commanders had. not hesitated to
advise their men that the war was virtu
ally over, and that they had better; go
home and 'make crops.'
-But there arc other proof9,besides the
omission of the measure , : against strag
gling usual on retreats, that General Lee
had prevised a surrender of his army.---
He carried off from Petersburg and.
Richmond all the transportation of his
army, sufficient, perhaps, for one hun
dred thousand. men, certainly largely in
excess of the actual needs of the retreat.
The excessive number of Virginia troops
who were permitted to drop out of the
ranks and rteurn to their homes, shows
very clearly that:there was no firm pur
pose to carry the war out of the limits of
that state. Prisoners taken on the re
treat invariably reported that the army
was soon to be haltea for a surrender;
and General Curtis Lce, .when Captured
by the - elleinY, iS alleged to liave "made
the same revelation of his father's de=
signs."
A Shrewd Editor.
At a Welsh celebration in New York
Dr. Jones told the following amusing
anecdote
The speaker said the editors were like
other shrewd men who have to live with
their eyes and ears open. He related a
story of an editor who started a paper in
a dew village in thee Wrest. The town
was infested by gamblers whose presence
was a source of annoyance to the citizens
who told the editor that if he did not
come out against them they would not
patronize his paper. Ile replied that ho
would give them a "smasher," next day.
Sure enough his next issue contained the
promised "smasher," and on the follow
ing morning the redoubtable editor, with
scissors in hand,was seated,in his sanctum
cutting out news,when in walked a largo
man with a club in his hand, and de
manded to know if- the editor was
"No sir," was the reply, '•he has stepped
out; take a seat and read the papers;
he will return in a minute." Down sat
the indignant man of card's, crossed his
legs, with his club between them, and
commenced reading a paper. In tho
meantime the editor quietly vamoosed
down stairs, and at the landing below he
met another excited man with a cudgel
in his hand, who asked if the editor was
in. "Yes sir," was the prompt response.
"You will find him seated up stairs read
ing a newspaper." The latter, on enter
ing the room with a furious oath com
menced a violent assault upon the fer
nier, which was resisted with equal fe
rocity. The tight was continued until
they had both rolled to the foot of the
stairs and pounded each other to their
heart's content.
IN SEARCH Or EM PLOYMENT.-A
Wa.shintoet (I,spateli says: " Competent
judges estimate that there are over one
thousand persons in Washington looking
for employment in the different depart
ments of the Government. Most of these
individuals will doubtless return to their
!respective homes, conscious of the fact
that there are no vacancies here for the
benefit of their class of individuals. I
will state that,iu the War, Navy, Treasu
ry, Interior,and Post Office Departments,
there are uo file over twenty thousand
applications for clerical appointments.—
The word file, as defined by different
heads of Departments, means consigned
