Over two hundred accidents from kick ing and running away of horses occurred 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 eases, breaking costly carriages and hurting the horses. Of the above, nine-tenths m-ore tame family horses. The safety bridle will put an end to all such needless .tecidenuf, and with the Safety Lines the speed of every horse is easily muchincreased. thet3 pepia,l,,meetire.; nt t hp,sad dlers o eitY,"„Xo'cr.:- 27, -18.fiVtliti'folhiwil4 resolutions were untininiotislY adopted :' - WmutuAs, The usefulness, power and safety of Dr. I.l.artman's Safety Bridle and Lines have been publicly demonstrated demonstrated in the presence of from' one 'thousand to fifteen hundred persons to their entire, satisfaction; and since it was provtin at the Millersville horseexhibition on four of the most vicious and eon:in:led kickers and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and Lines it is' utterly impossible ibr a horse either to kick or runaway; thereibre Resolved; That we the Saddlers, if'.l,,Lan easter county, Po., - believe that the Safety Bridle and Lines accomplish all and even more. than is claimed by the patentee, in preventing horses front kicking and roll ninfr away. lii olrerl, that in view of the above facts we deem it our legitimate duty, bothaindi vidually and Collectively, to exert all hon orable moans 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 defective bridle we put in great jeopardy both life and limb. .nesolved, That bereater \WC Manufacture no other but Surety Bridles, unless especi ally' ordered. - _ The price ofindividllal Rights is $5 each; County Riglits, froni 100.00 to 500.00 accor ding to poonlation—these containing large cities exejpted. 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 live dollars Ibr an indi vidual right will amount to $5OO per town ship, and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each county at the rate oftwenty townsnips at five hundred dollars each l I haye 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 aro so poor as to be unable to raise one hun dred dollars. - - - - _ Another .fiatture about this invention is that the proprietcr 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 ,he made to order, and-these' dan,be , .made by any saddler foialtrifie more than the ordinary linos. Hence, unlike other patents, the right to use it only.is sold. • No man need wish for a greater fortune thahriglitef a State. :To show the 'confi dence tho patentee' has in his invention,he of to pay 1,000 dollars ,fori any horse that , can either . hick or run. ,away when under the iultuence of the Safety, Bridle and Lines.

Mode of COMM en cing Grammar. Before presenting the reader with the specimen lesson promised in my last, I desire to make a remark or two respecting the commencement of this important study. 1. No teacher should ever require his pupils to buy primary grammars, though he should own one himself. The object of such lessons is to teach the teacher a correct method, and not to teach the pupil, the science. 2. In my opinion, most teachers commence the study too soon. Pupils should not commence the systematic study of English Grammar until they have mastered fractions, and can read with facility, even then it is too soon with some. The class should be regarded as an organized assembly, with the teacher as chairman. The raising of the hand on the part of the pupil signifies that he wishes to speak or answer a question, but does not confer the privilege of doing so. No pupil should be permitted to answer or speak, until the teacher permits by calling his nam2.. The inductive method is the one proper to be employed and no definition should be given until the facts from which it is derived are so well understood that the pupil may easily draw his own conclusions. To this end,let the teacher place upon his desk such objects as a book, a pen, an inkstand, a globe, a pointer, &e., and require the class to seat themselves upon the recitation bench with slate and pencil in hand.

Moro than fifty years ago , None have yet come home to zoo, But are sailing to and fro. I have seen them in my sleep. Plunging through the shoreless deep, With tattered sails and battered hulls, While around then screamed the gulls, Flying low, - flying low. I have wondered why thcy strayed, From me, sailing round the %road ; And I've said, "I'm half afraid That, their sails will ne'er he Curled." Great the treasures that they hold, and plunvls. and bars of gold ; While the spices that they bear, Till with fulgrancc all the air. As they sail, as they sail. Alt' ettah sailor in the port Knows that I have ships at sea, Of the waves and wind the sport, And the sailor. pity too. Oft they come and with me walk, Cheering toe with hopeful talk, Till I put my fears aside, And, contented watch the tide Rise and fall, rise and fall. I have waited on the piers, Gazing fur them down the bay, Days and nights fur many years, Till I turned heart sick away. But, when they land, Step and take tee by the hand, Sayfir,4,"yon will live to see Your proud vessels come from sea, One and all, one and all."

This explanation should be abundantly illustrated by calling attention to the various objects in the school room, and requiring the class to make a list of all the objects which way present themselves. I have had pupils present me. next day with lists of from one to two hundred names. By such a process,thc definition "a noun is the name of an object," is comprehended by the pupil. Thus, the the first lesson in this important science is mastered, and the next may be easily comprehended. More anon. New 'York Newspapers and News paper Men. The profits of the New York newspa pers the past year has been unpreceden ted, The Herald has yielded about $300,000; the Tribune $105,000; the Times upwards of $100,000; the World nearly as much, and the Express Com mercial journal of Commerce and Even ing Post from $40,000 to $50,000 each. Bennett is sole owner of the Herald, but Frederick Hudson is the editor, and no one surpasses him for executive ability in his line. The Tribune is owned by stockholders, of which Dr. James C. Ayer, of Lowell, is the heaviest. Sainl. Sinclair, the publisher, is also one of its largest owners, while Stephen T. Clark, the writer of the money article, and Hor ace Greely are interested to a large amount. The capital stock is 8800,000. Mr. Sidney H. Gay is the editor of the Tribune. Greely writes many of the leading editorials.,,,Alkarles..T,Congdon is also an editorial contributor to a large amount. The principal owners of the Times are reported to be Leonard W. Jerome, James B. Taylor, Henry J. Raymond, George Jones, the publisher, and Christopher Morgan, of Methodist fame. During Mr. Raymond's absence' F. J. Otterson, formerly of the Tribune,l is the managing editor, as he is a writer of superior abilities. The lVorld is con ducted by Manton Marble, and he is the I largest owner of the concern. .A New York correspondent says: "Of the younger journalists of this city there are several of great promise ; among them, Thomas A. .Kennett, of the World, Daniel K. O'Donnell, of the e. Tribun, and Augustus Maverick, of the Evening Post. The best editorial writers i and each inimitable iu his, way, are Geo. Wilkes, of the Spirit of the Times, Sid ney Howard Gay and Charles T. Congdon, of the Tribune, William H. Hurlhurt, of the World, and Charles 'Nordhoff, of the Evening Post. The best American po litical statistician living, connected with the press, is probably Horace Greely; and the next best is Faanklin J. Otter son,managing editor of the Tones,though Thomas G. Sherman, a lawyer, is a per fect cyclopedia of political knowledge,an d is a very useful man for more than one newspaper establishment." The Way of the World. We were traveling through Canada, and, after a long days' ride, stopped at an inn, where the passengers were soon gathered round the cheerful fire. We observed au ill-looking cur among the occupants of the room,who had shown hiz wit by quartering in so comfortable an apartment. In a few moments the landlord entered, and observing the canine specimen, remarked : "Fine dog, that! Is he yours, sir ?" approaching ouc of the passengers. "No, sir." "Beautiful dog! Your's sir ?" speak ing to the second. "No," was the blunt reply. "Come here, purp ! Perhaps lie is yours, sir ?" "do," was again responded. "Very sagacious animal ! Belongs to you, I suppose, sir ?" "No, he don't" was the reply. "Then he is yours, and you have a treasure," (throwing the animal a cracker.) "He is not mine !" "Oh (with a smile.) Ire belongs to you as a matter of course," addressing himself to the last passenger. "Wouldn't have him as a gift." "Then,you in fernal,mean ,con temptible whelp, get out !" And thereupon the landlord gave the poor dog such a kick as sent the cowering animal yelping into the street, amid the laughter of the company. [WHOLE .NUMBER 1,900• The Richest 'Hen in New York the Hardest Workers. "Burleigh," of the Boston Journal, scuds the following:— The hardest working men and the hard:. est working institutions in New York are those which are most successful. To the outsiders it seems an easy thing to make money and to keep it. Banking was easy work a few years ago, and is now in the old-fashioned institutions who have no country and no foreign exchange. But I no factory or machine shop keeps men on the jump as does a live bank in this wikre-- awake city. I was in one of these insti tutions yesterday, which is not yet ten years old. Its army of clerks have to be on hand early in the morning and they cannot leave until their day's work is done,which is often not till long after the gas is lighted. Its capital is two millions, and its daily receipts seven million dol lars. It receives daily from two hundred and fifty to four hundred letters, all of which have to be registered and answered before the business of the (lay ends. No bank clerk on a salary of a thousand dol lars a year goes to his bank as regularly, or works as many hours, as William R Astor, who counts up his forty millions. His little one-story office, a step or two from Broadway,on Prince street, with its iron bars, making it resemble a police prison, is the den where he performs his daily toil, and out of all his wealth and labor lie gets only his " victuals and clothes." He attends personally to all his busincss,knows every dollar of rent or in come that is to b ecome due, pays out ev ery dollar, makes his entries in his own hand, and obliges his subordinates to come to him for information,while he does not go to them. He generally comes down in the omnibus at au early hour of the day,and remains closely absorbed in busi ness until five o'clock. fle rarely takes exercise, and finds his chief pleasure in the closest attention to his business. A friend of mine rode to Washington with him iu the same car from New York. Ho wither spoke nor got off his seat, and I hardly moved,from Jersey City to Wash ington. Ile usually leaves his office at five o'clock, and. walks slowly up Broad way, to Lafayette,,. place. He is over six feet high; heavily built, 'With a' 'decided, German look, small hazel ,eyes,as if he . was half asleep, head round as a. pump kin, and about as destitute of hair. He is exceedingly , hospitable, , and in ,the "season" - gives a dinner to his i'riends , I weekly, at which the richest viands_ on . services of gold and silver are. presented by liveried servants to his guests. Onmmodore Vanderbilt never - worked harder in his life,—never worked more hours than now. He has a confidential servant who works like a pack horse,who has been in his employ thirty years. Be sides this, Vanderbilt does his own busi ness, makes and executes his own eon tracts,aud this,with the business he does on twenty millions, is no small toil. The Commodore goes down to his business reg ularly every day,and can be found at cer tain hours. His only recrcation is euchre and fast horses. Moses Taylor,whose dividends from his coal stock alone this year reached the pretty little sum of a million of dollars, began the business in New York when he was sixteen years of age, kept his books with his own hands, and has done so ever since. His library in his house on Fifth Avenue is a regular workshop. Ev ery night he brings up his business with his own hand. His vast business,person al to himself, and his business as trustee, is kept by himself. He makes all the original entries of sort and kind, and goes to his office for no information, and lie knows just how things must be there to be right. And should every record kept by his book-keepers and clerks be destroyed, it would make no difference with him for he has the originals in his own hands. Many merchants spend the afternoon in riding,or in games, or in the excitement in the evening stock board; but Mr. Taylor finds his recreation in a bath, a good dinner, a comfortable siesta, and au evening devoted to work. Such a man would make money and keep it,. These are only specimens of how the men of wealth in our city become men of toil. -- Daucintr.. In all ages and in all climes this has been a favorite amusement with the young and oftentimes with the aged.— We remember hearing the Rev: Dr. Hoge deliver a lecture in Richmond during the war. He had just returned from Europe. Whilst abroad he spent sometime in Scotland, and one evening in Edinburg- being invited to take tea at the house of an eminent divine, where be met with.a number of preachers and their wives, after supper the room was cleared and these good people had a good old-fashioned reel, all to themselves:.:-- Norfolk, Day Book.
