O CiIIOCKING ACCIDENTS. _
K ILLED 21:` , TD .1 LARGE NUM
BER WOUNDED.
Over two hundred accidents from kick
ing and running away or horses occurred
during the past year, in Lancaster county
alone nearly all of which resulted in inju
ring the drivers, killing some, malming
and wounding others, and in most eases,
breaking costly carriages and hurting the
horses.
Of the above, nine-tenths were tame
family horses. The safety bridle will put
an end to all such needless accidents, and
with the Safety Lines the speed of every
horse is easily much increased.
At the special meeting of the Saddlers of
Lancaster city, Nov. 27, 166 , 5, the following
resolutio'" were unanimously adopted:
Wit,. EAS, 'rho usefulness, power and
safety of Dr. lia.lman's Safety Bridle and
Lilies have been publicly demonstrated
demonstrated in the presence of from one
thousand to fifteen hundred persons to
their entire satisfaction; and since it was
proven at the Millersville horse exhibition
on four of the most vicious and c•ontirnied
kickers and runaways, that with the Safety
Bridle and Lines it is utterly impossible
for a horse either to kick or runaway;
therefore
ltesoloed, That we the Saddlers of Lan
caster county, Pa., believe that the Safety
Bridle and Lines accomplish all and 131'01/
more, than is claimed by the patentee, in
preventing horses from kicking and run
ning away.
Resolved, 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 a very great measure prevent all acci
dents with horses,,while with the old and
defectiv6 bridle - we" put in great . jeopardy
both life and limb.
.11Wolred, That hereafter IN` (I, manufacture
no other but Safety Bridles, Tailless especi
ally ordered.
The price of individual Rights is 8.3, each;
County Rights, from 100.0 t,):,00.00 accor
ding to population—these containing large
cities excepted.
No other investment before the public
presents such inducements of the.
money. In every county there are atleast
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 8500 per town
ship, and ten thousand dollars (S 10,000) for
each county at the rate of twenty to wusnips
at five hundred dollars each ! I have not,
the least doubt but that amount of money
can be made Mit 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 aro
so goer as to be unable to raise one hun
dred 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 tope inade
to' order; ficrtli - dge can tie Made 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 patentee has in his invention,he
offers to pay 1;000 dollars for any horse
that can either kick or run away when
under ,the influence of the Safety Bridle
and Lines. For County and State rights
address for circular, and for Individual
Rights, enclose five dollars to S. B. Rart
man. Millersville,7Lancasterco;;

A simple word within itself—
And yet how much contained
Within the word farewell, farewell,
A sorrow deep—unfeigned,
For when fond ties are broken once
They ne'er are joined again,
And memory brings back to us,
Nought, nought but bitter pain.
When we are parting with loved friend,
We whisper low farewell
And to our hearts it sounded! like
A mournful, mournful knell.
Farewell we say to loved ones dear
Who stand upon the shore
Of death's dark stream—farewell,
Farewell forever more.
Oh, no, not ever more,
For we shall meet again
Meet in clouds so bright above
Where there is nought of pain.
Where all is bright and beautiful
Beyond the power to tell,
Where never more is heard the low
The tearful, sad farewell.

The Province of Grammar.
In my last article, I promised in this
to define Grammar and make some re
marks upon the proper mode of teachinc.
The old subdivision of the subject into
orthography, etymology, syntax and pros
ad/I, answered a very good purpose when
Greek or Latin was to be tau *ht, because
the orthography of these languages is
simple and the changes in the words are
almost exclusively of a grammatical na
ture, that is, the difference in form is
governed by the relation of the things
represented by the words. The same re
mark applies to the modern languages,
especially German and French, the or
thography of which is very easily learned.
But to attempt to teach the English lan
guage in the same way, must prove a
failure, because its forms are so varied,
being derived from so many different
sources,that au English Grammar would
be the-last book suitable for a text on
49211wgetipky or el.ymology. Long expe'r ; :,
ieuce and general usage has demonstrated
the necessity and practicability of using
a seperate text-book for each of these
branches, and this general fact is evi
dence conclusive and incontrovertible,
that English Grammar is something sep
arate and distinct from either of the
branches named, nor does it include what I
is taught in them.
An examination of the branches rela
ting to the English language, will dis
cover the fact that some of these branches
relate to words in their individual capac
ity, others to the sentence-forming pow
er of words and the relation they sustain
to each other, while others again take
sentences properly constructed and ar
range them into paragraphs, chapters,
arguments, &c.

Education is commenced by teaching
the child the alphabet, then the arrange
ment of these letters so as to form words,
and when it can du this with facility it
begins to read, and as it advances. it
learns to define the words and by and by
to study their etymology and learn their
origin and history. Thus in the spelling
book and reader is learned the nature of
words.as individuals, that is, their spell
jug:pronunciation, formation and mean
ing.aud the child also obtains an idea of the
use of words in the expression of ideas.
During this initiatory process,the teacher
has an opportunity of correcting any in
correct mode of expression the child may
have acquired and of habituating his pu
pils to use correct forms.
At this point the teacher frequently
fails. The golden opportunities afforded
of teaching the proper tbrins of the lan
guage are tn.simproved, the teacher post
poning this until the child shall com
mence the study of Grammar ! And
how is it commenced ? In too many in
stances it is commenced by compelling
the pupil to commit abstract definitions
which he, or she cannot comprehend un
til by pursuing such an . unphilosophical
course, an antipathy to the science is im
bibed so that instead of finding it a source
of pleasure, it:becomes dry and irksome.
As the basis of all knowledge is de
riv..d primarily through the perceptive
faculties. and as all abstract propositions
arc the deduction of rea , on from known
facts.so instruetiou in any of the commoi
branches should commence with its filets
and not with the deductions of these facts.
To require a child to rea , on about that
of which it knows nothing, is certainly a
very insane requirement and should it
overcome, after such a procedure it is
only because it possesses superior powers
of mind.
The trite saying that "a good begin
ing will make a good end," is as true in
education as in morals. If we begin

right and continue as we begin, our pro
gress will be in the right direction—it
will be progress indeed. But, say some
of my readers, your theory is very plaus
able, let us see it ex - emplifiecl. As the
science of Grammar treats of the natural
connection between ideas and words, as
it investigates the properties, relations
and f'ortus of words combined into sen
tences, a proper commencement in teach
ing this branch would be the simplest
way of showing this connection and of
elucidating these properties, relations
and forms. The method best adapted is
the object-method, whereby the teacher
calls attention to various objects and
teaches the pupil the difference between
the object and its name. From this the
pupil clearly comprehends the definition
"a noun is the name of an object." By
a similar process,he learns the nature of a
verb, by witnessing the performance of
various actions, such as reading, spelling,
writing, walking, &c., &c., and by no
ticing that the verb is always used to
assert something of something else, he
rises to the comprehension of the defini
tion, "A verb is a word which expres
ses affirmation." So too with adjectives.
Attention is called to the color, form,
size, &c., of an object, and the pupil
learns to distinguish between, these qual
ities of the object and the words used to
designate them, the qualities inhering in
the object but the terms used to describe
them being sim , their names. From
this the pupil s , nderstand the defini
tion, "an adjg. a word which de
scribes some q •r characteristic of
an object."
With a knowledge of nouns, verbs and
adjectives, the teacher could prOceed to
the sitnple proposition, as the other parts
of speech can only be properly learned
in connection with continued discourse.
For instance, take the sentence John
unites, and teach the pupil the nature of
the subject and predicate.
But this article is already too long.—
In my next, I shall exemplify these
principles by specimen-lessons.
Coatesville Presbyterian. Church.
Rev. A. G. Morrison presented the
following declaration of Principles to the
1 Presbyterian Church on Sabbath last, to
which he requested the signatures of all
1
the members. His object was stated to
be two-fold. First,that we might under.
!stand ourselves and each other more per
reedy, and be the better enabled to make
our practice conform to our profession.
—The doctrines set forth in this docu
ment are not new, but are all implied in a
Christian profession, although many may
not understand it as such. Secondly, it
is desired to get a new and more correct
list of the Church membership. We in
fer from this that if any refuse, (and we
hope none will) to sign this document, it
will be considered a sufficient cause for
omitting their names from the rolls of the
Church. It was truly gratifying to see
with what unanimity the members signed
their names, which operation lasted un- ,
til about two o'clock.
Ist. We believe in God the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost, one God.
2nd. We believe in the Scriptures of
the Old and New Testament as a revela
tion ft om God, containing his mind and
will, the only infallable rule of faith and
practice; in which we learn our lost estate
by nature and the way of salvation; and
our duty to God and man.
3rd. We believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ as the only Saviour of sinners in
general, and our Saviour in particular,in
whom alone we trust for salvation.
4th. We now publically give ourselves
to Christ, in the bonds of a covenant
never to be forgotten, and desire to ac
knowledge arnl reeeive . the soul of the
covenant of Grace in Baptism, *cording
to divine appointment.
sth. We promise, the grace of God as
si.ting, that we will endeavor to walk
worthy of our cal'ing, and discharge the
duties and avoid the evils implied in our
profession.
6th. We promise obedience to the
Church in the Lord, submitting to the
discipline of the House of God, studying
the purity and peace of the Church.
7th. We will not indulge in, or coun
tenance the practices of the world which
are contrary to the spirit of true piety,
and wound our Saviour in " The House
of his friends.
Bth We further pledge ourselves to
entriely from the use-of alcoholic drinks
as a beverage. And seeing that the
use of intoxicating drinks has ended in
the ruin of very many thousands of fel
low beings, and of many professing.
C hristiaus, we by all honorable means in
our power, discountenance the use ofi
strung drink, except wile , : perseribed by
a physician as 111Cdiaille.
9th. For the perfortuance of the du
ties this day assumed in the profession of
Christian faith, we will depend upon
Him who has said : "My grace shall be
sufficient for thee," "ask and ye shall re
ceive," "Through Christ strengthening
us we can do all things."— Union

SUDDEN DEATH IS A BAL Ei.aoo3l.
A. few nights ago, a never to be forgot
ten scene occurred at s:ierrill Hall, De
troit, during the:progress of a ball. A
young man named Charles Windeck was
dancing a sehottishe with a lady, and
having made one circle of the hall his
partner noticed something extraordinary
in his appearance. She advised him to
sit down for a moment, but he objected,
istating that the weakness was momen
tary, and that he would feel better by
continuing tho dance. Scarcely had
they resumed the round when the un
fortunate young man staggered forward
and fa senseless to the floor in a swoon.
A death-like pallor overspread his
countenance; and a rush was made to
his assistance. He was taken tapeand
removed to a settee, when he ' gave one
convulsive shudder and all was over, the
grim monster whose harvest is reaped at
all seasons having claimed him as his
own. The Free Press, from which we
we take these particulars, says an inde
scribable scene of sadness followed.
Those who but a moment before were
full of life and conviviality, were para
alyzed with feelings of horror and be
wilderment. The merry dance ceased in
a moment, the music hushed its inviting
strains, and a pall of gloom settled upon
the carnival of revelry.
Locm. NEWS.-A California editor,
speaking of the complaints by his read
ers that he don't publish all the local
items they desire to see, justly observes
that it is often their own fault, in not
sending the facts. He says he don't
like to publish a birth after the child is
weaned, a marriage after the honeymoon
is over, or the death of a man after his
widow is married again.
