SCHOOL BOOKS. —We have before us a num- ;
ber of works from the press of A. S. Barnes
& Co., New York, among which are Revised
Editions of
, DAVIES' PRIMARY ARITHMETIC AND TABLE-BOOK,
designed i'r beginners; containing the Elementary Ta
bles of Addition, Subtraction, Mu'l (plication, Division, |
and Denominate Numbers; n i b a largo ntnnber of easy
j and practical questions, both mental and written,
j DA VIES' INTELLECTUAL ARITHMETIC, or, an Anatv
j sis of the Science of Numbers, with especial reference to
Mental Training and Development.
I DA VIES' SCHOOL ARITHMETIC, Analytical and Practi
cal.
These works are designed as preliminary
studies to the more advanced series of Math
i emotion, and to those who years ago acquired
j some knowledge of arithmetic between hard
study and hard knocks, the improvement
made in these books for imparting a knowl
! edge of numbers is so apparent, that the won- !
der will almost arise how even dull children
i can now fail to learn. Everything is syste
matically simplified, so that the pupil may
| learn one thing at a time—learn that thing
j thoroughly—and then learn its connections
with other things.

1 and intermediate classes.
Mc>"ALLY'S COMPLETE SCIIOOLOEOGRAPIIY'Isacom
! prebensive work, prepared with • eat <vreami accuracy
| lor advanced classes in on •S iioo'.i and Academies.
These works constitute the most complete
and cheapest Geographical Series yet pub
i lished, each number being concise and syste
matic, and illustrated with a large number of
! correct and well-executed Maps and Engrav
j ings, so arranged that the Atlas and subject
matter are under the eye of the pupil at the
same time, a feature we believe not to be
found in any other publications of the kind. ,
Monteith's Manual of Geography, the second '
of the series, has proved so popular that it is
now in use in many of the principal cities
and towns in New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and from its adaptation to fix strongly 1
upon the youthful mind the connection of fact
i and event with the place of occurrence, bids !
j fair to supersede all others. McNally's Gc- \
oyraphy is based upon the following plan, by j
which it will be seen that it is at once simple 1
and comprehensive:
1. The Definitions are brief and explicit.
2. The Exercises upon each map are sys
tematically arranged upon the opposite page, i
including General (Questions for review.
3. The Descriptive matter follows the map
I exercises, and contains nothing to burden tlie
memory without imparting any geographical :
knowledge; while, at the same time, nothing
essential is omitted.
4. The Pronunciation of difficult names is
given on the page where they first occur.
5. ihe Statistical Tables are prepared from
the best and most recent authorities, arid are
frequently referred to throughout the work.
6. In the execution of the Sectional Maps
of the different States of the Union, within :
the county linos, a number, instead of the
name of each county, is introduced: the lat
; ter can always be ascertained by a reference
to tiie former in the " Table of Counties."—
1 his will he seen at a glance to he an original
and mst valuable improvement; for while the
name of the county is virtually shown, it ren
ders the maps more distinct, and admits of a
more extensive introduction of important
towns.
Several other works we shall notice in our
next. All the works named, for the purpose
of introduction, will in the first instance be !
furnished to public schools, academies, tie.,
at half f/ncr, thus avoiding a subject of much
complaint on the part of parents and others
when a new series of books is introduced.—
We would recommend teachers, school direc- '
tors and heads of families interested in edu
cation to call on Mr. F. J. THOM AS, at Cogley's
Express Office, Lewistown, General Agent in
Pennsylvania for the sale of A. S. Barnes 1
C'o.'s publications, who will take pleasure
in giving any further information on the sub
ject that may be desired.

A Free Soil Stratum. —The northern tier of (
counties in Pennsylvania all gave majorities 1
for the 1 nion ticket. Erie gives 2572, War- (
ren 850, M'Kean 293, Tioga 3152, Bradford i i
4G55, Susquehanna 1323, Wayne 89, and Pot- :
ter GOl. Here is an aggregate of 13,535 /
majority against Buchanan in this range of t
counties. Taking in Crawford county, which i
really formed part of what was formerly tho ! i
. "
Connecticut Reserve, the aggregate would be i
15,508. The southern tier of counties in New \ 1
York State go for Fremont in the same style | t
as our northern tier, including a majority for <
every county from the C'attskills to Lake Eric. ,
Terrible Collusion at Sea. —The French i ]
steamer Lyunnaise, from New York, bound ) i
for Havre, was run into at sea on the night of ' c
the 2d inst., by a large ship, and so badly j .
injured that she was abandoned the next day. j '
She had on board 40 passengers besides her j 11
crew. Sixteen persons from the steamer were s
picked up in a boat subsequently by a Bremen t
vessel, two others having died. On the 10th
this vessel spoke the Hamburg barque Elise,
on board of which fourteen of the persons
were put and arrived at New York. r
HoUnvcay's Ointment anil Fills Infallible v
Remedies for Salt Rheum.— Kdward Jack-on, i u
of Galveston, Texas, suffered unceasingly for t
tour years with salt rheum; so bad was he that s
for four or five months at a time he was com
pelled to keep to his bed, and the doctors told 1
him candidly that he need never again expect j v
to he well. Finding this to be the case he a
dismissed them, and immediately put himself ;
under a course of Holloway's Ointment and
Pills. These fine remedies soon made such []
an improvement in him that he was enabled j ,
to resume his occupation, and by continuing
them for a short time, he was restored to the
blessings of health, which he has enjoyed : t<
ever since. i ci
LOCAL AFFAIRS.
SUSPENSION- OF THE LANCASTER BANK. —Tbc
resignation of tlsc President of this institu
tion on Friday last gave rise to some rumors
affecting its standing, and a considerable run
was made 011 Saturday. On Monday it was
continued but with the impression on the
part of most folks that the election of officers,
| which took place on that day, was the prin- •
| cipal cause. Of all this little or nothing was
known here until Mouday afternoon, when ;
news came to hand that the notes had been
thrown out by the Philadelphia banks. As
the greater part ot our paper circulation was
in notes of tbis bank, much alarm and anxi
ety were created as to the result. Up to
i uesd.i} alternoon, the majority entertained
hopes that the storm would blow over, but
tliese hopes were dissipated by the announce
ment that the B ink had suspended. The
following is the notice posted up on Tuesday
| morning at Lancaster:
j "Notice: A run having been made upon the
Lancaster Bank, and its notes having been
refused by the Philadelphia Banks, the offi-
J cers deem it impossible to meet the liabilities 1
. ol the Bank as they are presented, and are,
j therefore, compelled" to close the Bank.
"The note holders are advised not to sac
rifice the same, as the assets of the Bank are i
supposed to be sufficient to meet the oireula- !
tion and deposits. A statement, however, :
will be made to the public, as soon as the offi
cers eject can make an examination of the
condition of the Bank.
11. PiAiinOX, Cashier."
On Tuesday several stores received the !
j notes in payment for goods, hut yesterday '
nothing could be done with them except at a !
| discount of 25 per cent., at which rate the j
; mill store sold goods and the Lewistown Mill !
furnished flour, Ac. Both of our banking :
houses paid out a great part of their funds in
this money, and in consequence of receiving
it in payment of notes and on deposit up to
'1 uesday afternoon, have probably crippled
their resources so that for some weeks at
least no paper will be discounted.
\\ hat effect this suspension will have upon
business here is as yet difficult to tell. Should
• the notes depreciate to any extent or become i
worthless, the loss will be severe, as almost
| every business man in the countv, as well as i
a vast number of others, had sums in their
possession varying from £5 to hundreds.— j
Even our humble self, who belong to a class !
that seldom have any money at all, was
caught with *3O, which had been laid by to
meet a paner bill. A few instances have ■
come to our knowledge where parties hold
fn in S2OO to S4O0 —and another of two gen
tlemen about starting west with SI3OO. Com- '
ing from a quarter so unexpected, it will do
much to impair public confidence in paper
money, as rur citizens had yet hardly gotten
over the severe blow given to business and !
, capital by the failure of the Lewistown Bank.
If the following from the Lancaster Ex
aminer at all approximates the truth as to
; its circulation, the notes may be good:
"1 he liabilities of the bank, so far as we
can learn, consist of about $700,000 of ci-eu
lation and $250,000 of deposits. The notes i
in circulation will of course be redeemed, ul- j
timately, at their full value, as they will be !
first paid out of the assets: and the -tookhoi- !
ders are, moreover, individually liable to the !
note holders to the par value of die stock j
held hv each one. That is, for every share
of stock held by any person he is liable to !
the amount of SSU to make good the redemp
tion of all the notes in circulation, in case i
the assets of the hank shall not be sufficient •
for that purpose. Under the worst possible
aspect of the case, therefore, there is no room !
to doubt that the note holders will all be paid •
to the last cent. The only inconvenience
they can suffer will be a delay of some
months, more or less."
The stockholders will moot en Saturday to j
decide what course is to l>e pursue !.
THE WEATHER. —The appearance of snow
on the top of Black Log Mountain hist week,
together with ciiiliing winds and cold rains,
give unmistakeable evidence that warm sun
shine and pleasant weather have in a measure
bid us adieu for a time, and that stern old
Winter, with his mantle of snow and ice, has
broken loose from his northern home, and is
wending his way southward. Many no doubt j
have amply prepared themselves with wood
and coal to meet his rigor, hut others we fear \
have been far more intent on " saving their
country," or electing some favorite to office, j
than to the comforts of houic. These will
course grumble and growl should the "gude :
wife" fail to welcome them with a warm stove j
and plentiful meals, and perhaps attribute to
her want of management what is in reality
their own neglect. Such fellows ought to have
no wives, no children, no home—they being
mere excrescences on the earth ; drones ever ;
ready to spend money for good or bad wliis- !
key, yet begrudging every penny calculated :
to render home happy; in short, genuine spe- j
cimens of the genus loafer. Wake up, then, |
you lazy dogs, and look about the house of j
which you have the name of being the head: !
if you have not laid up a stock of wood or 1
coal sufficient for two or three months, do it .
at once—if you have 110 money, uo TO WORK
and get some, or else go hang or drown your- i
self, lor you are of no more use to society
than a miser who would skin a mouse for the 1
sake of its hide and tallow.
HUNTING. —Deer are said to be quite nu
meruusin Licking creek valley this fall, though
we'll bet the hunters outnumber thorn two to
one. Steeley, Riddle and Wagner came home
the other day with a doe, and our neighbor,
S. Miller, we hear shot a lour prong buck in
the beginning of this week. Pheasants and ,
wild turkeys are also abundant along Jack's
and Shade mountains, but extremely wild.
BSLQuite a commotion was excited among |
the younger classes on Saturday evening by j J
the supposed discovery of a comet in the wes- (
tern part of the heavens. It proved however j
to be the meteoric period, and was no doubt
lauscd by electric flashes.
EIRE. —The light seen to the westward on
Saturday evening proved to be a barn on the
farm of D. Dull, occupied by Abraham Grass
mire, in Bratton township, which, with sev
eral cows, a quantity of corn, oats, hay, fod
der and straw was totally consumed. There
was no insurance on the property. It is not
| known how the fire originated.
Ml FELIX COUXTY BIBLE SOCIETY.
'I he agent employed to canvass this county
has made the following report, which will 110
doubt be highly gratifying to the ladies em
barked in this noble cause:
LEWISTOWN, July 10th, ISSG.
\our Agent, upon closing his labors in
your service, begs leave to present for your
: consideration the following report:
In so far as the results of my labors can
be summed up in a statistical form, they are
as follows:
Whale number of families visited, 1744
; Number destitute, 13'J
i Refused, 8
I Whole number of copies sold, 001
" given, 101
Aggregate of sales, §299 02
• Cost ot copies given, 30 38
Donations received, 103 27
'I he amount of sales would have been much
greater but for the fact that an age nt for a
; publishing house in Philadelphia has recently
: passed over a considerable part of the county,
j selling and taking subscriptions for Bibles to
be delivered during the season. The amount
I of destitution was also somewhat diminished
by the same cause.
; The labors of your agent have been quite
! barren of incident. The following facts are,
however, deemed worthy of a place in this
I report, especially as they show that the labors
. of the Society have nut been altogether un
; productive of good :
In several cases the only Bible in the pos
| session of families upon whoui I called, were
| those presented by the agent who canvassed
j the county eight years since, and in every
case which came within my observation, the
j books showed evident signs of frequent use.
In one instance the only copy ot the Scrip
turee in the possession of the family was one
j given to the husband when on his way to
Mexico as a volunteer. I learned from" his
, own statement that he had passed many pleas
ant hours in its perusal in that far off land.
He further stated that although many did not
, keep the books given them, yet others priz- i
; them and passed much of their leisure time
in reading ' jail's Holy \\ ord. an employment
to which they were probably but little accus
tomed while surrounded by the comforts of
| home.
| In another case I found it necessary to call
| upon a family in the morning to whom 1 had
given a Bible the previous evening. The
weather being unfavorable the husband was
j unable to go to his accustomed employ merit,
; and on entering I found him reading his Bi
hie while his wife and daughter sat listening
with all the interest which new truths never
| fail to excite.
j A few destitute persons have received the
Bible with a churlish indifference, hut in the
great majority of cases it was received with
a hearty thankfulness which showed that the
gift was highly appreciated arid would be
| properly used. In many instances it has af
forded me great pleasure to be the almoner of
your bounty, and I have not unfrequently
wished that those members of your Society
who have given much of their time and means
j to advance its interests, could have been pres
ent to share the pleasures which their benefi
| cence excited, and thus realize, perhaps more
fully than ever before, that it is indeed "more
j blessed to give than to receive."
The thanks of your Society and my own
are due to the Ministers and Members of the
various Churches in the county, for their hos
pitality and liberality in sustaining the cause.
Our labors in your service are now closed,
i and it only remains to implore the blessing
of God upon the seed thus sown, feeling as- '
sured that, although in some departments of
Christian labor the seed-time is more imme
diately followed by the harvest, in none is ef
fort more surely crowned with success.
