XiOCAli AFFAIRS
SCHOOL BOOKS. —Among the annoyances
attendant on a system of public education, j
such as we hare in this State, the frequent '
change made by Directors of class books is
one that needs as much reformation as any
thing we can just now call to mind connected
with that 6ystem. Our own opinion is that
it would be much better to have even an in
ferior book in use for a term of three or five
years, than to make two or four changes in i
these terms by introducing different works in
some particulars only superior to those in use.
Nothing is more difficult than to make the
young comprehend some of these changes,
especially when an innovation on a time-hon -
ored usage is attempted, as question upon |
question is put that, if right, why it was not
made before? As an instance of this, we
may adduce the fact that the world has been
taught for years that a, an, and the are arti
cles; that there are TEN parts of speech, <kc.;
but now—it is true with the sanction of Web
ster —by a masterly stroke of the pen by one
who has some ambition perhaps to eclipse
Lindley Murray, there is danger that every
other district in the State will teach its chil
dren a different grammar. Trifles like this
years ago produced feuds, thai led to wars
and bloodshed, and judging from specimens
' Young America" occasionally gives, there
is no telling what result might follow should
two rival schools—one taught nine and the
other ten parts of speech—come into collision.
In such case, blood}' noses would certainly be
found on bfith aides, if nothing worse. But
leaving these speculations for time to develop,
we iuter.ded to suggest the possibility of in
troducing a uniform series of school buuks
throughout the county, or if that cannot well
be done, into a few adjoining districts. For
instance, tlie directors of Lewictown. Gran
ville, Decatur and Derrv might meet in con- i
vention with the C unty Superintendent, and
agree upon a series of class books to be kept
in use lor a period of three years, retaining
tno&e now in use, or as many as could be
made to answer, with the understanding that
no changes siiou.d be made during that time.
Ihe upper end of the county might hold a
similar convention, and the valley another.
Parents and booksellers would then know
what they are about—children intended for
school would know where to begin their "ed
ucation"— and directors would save themselves
considerable"b -ring"from publishers' agents,
who arc becoming as regular in their annual
visits as grasshopr-rs to clover patches.—
There is ample time fur thinking over this
matter l>etore # - schools open again, and we
hope, if it meets the views of directors, thev
will act cn it.
The Streets and Alley \ —To hear some peo
ple talk about the "con-, tion" f our -treets
and alleys, one would be led to suppose that
they had never before seen dirt, manure, or
grass in the thoroughfares of this burgh.—
Now, is it true that our streets, tc. are in
...
worse condition tiiau usual? U e have had i
occasion, during the pa-t week or ten days,
to vi.t i r look into almost every street and
alley in the borough, and have no hesitation
whatever in saying that they are at this time
in as good general condition as they have been
for years, and that where causes of complaint
exist, they are owing to the unusual wet
weather that has prevailed for so long a time
—to hogs running at large—and to the neg
ligent manner in which most of the work is
done on the streets by the Lewistown Gas
Company. In confirmation of this, we will
state that there has probably been quite a
muoh carting done out of the streets and al
leys for the borough up to the present time
as has been the case for years.
There is no doubt a great deal of negligence
and want of care on the part of many who ,
arc reckless as to their conduct, while others
would rather wade through a nuisance at their
doors for weeks than spend five minutes in
removing the cause. The first class are in
the habit of throwing kitcheu, yard or garden
stuff into the very spots that had been clean
ed up but a few days before, and the latter
are daily piling on buckets full of dishwater,
kc. on some former accumulation, and thus
of course making the matter worse. But for !
ail this there is a very simple remedy, and if
cur citizens would lay aside that false feeling 1
which keeps them from returning and appear
irig against persons living near them who do
theso things, there would soon be an end of
them. The proceedings in such cases arc of
a judicial character, and with all duo defer- j
ence to those who seem to think otherwise, I
we do not believe it is our duty as Chief Bur
gess to be informer, witness, judge and jury.
It is true, in cases coming under our imme
diate observation, we have taken measures
to abate nuisances, and will continue to do so;
but when complaint is made, we cannot take ■
the more say so of any man as evidence. In |
such cases it is the duty of the complainant
to appear and testify to his information, and
to those who do so we will guarantee that if
law can be found the offending party shall
feel it.
The present season has been much later t
than usua', hence the necessity of visiting
premises has not thus far cis ed, for though
liming and disinfecting agents can be applied
beneficially at all seasons, they will be most so
in the course of a few weeks when vegetation j
begins to decay more rapidly than at present.
BWA. 1 lie weather has been quite favorable
for haymaking during the past week. The
grain is also ripening rapidly, hut will still
be the latest harvest we can remember. A
few patches of rye on southern slopes we
notice have been cut, and will yield well.

REAPERS AND MOWERS. —There are no doubt
a number of good machines manufactured
and used, but public opinion seems to be set
tling down in favor of Manny's Mower and j
Reaper as the best and most desirable imple
ment en a farm. In proof of this, we have
now before us three papers giving the results
of trials iu which it was the successful com
petitor. The first is a trial before the Skane- j
ateles (New York) Farmer's Club, which came j
off on the 30th June. Six machines were en- !
tered, aud the first premium awarded to the I
Manny. The Auburn Advertiser, in a notice
of the proceedings, says:
"y tnny's machine, with Wood's improve
ment, we regard as faultless, both in construc
tion and execution. It seems to have been
arranged, in all its parts, with the express
design of giving the farmer an instrument
that will do the work of a dozen men, either
in reaping or mowmg, and do it so well that i
he can have no cause of complaint. There ;
are several points about this machine that j
must make it valuable above all others to
farmers whose fields are stony or rough and
uneven. By very simple arrangements, it
can be thrown out ef gear, or the knives cau
be raiseu from the ground, while in full mo
tion, the driver thu. being able to protect
them from injury by contact with stones. —
The draught, as tested by a dynamometer, is
225 pounds, which is considered ligh If
any improvements cau be made in this ma
chine, we should like to see them. We think
it is as near perfect as such an instrument
can be made. It was really a pleasure to see
it work."
The second is a report of a trial before the
Monroe county (New Fork) Agricultural So
ciety, on the Ist July, Eleven machines
were entered and the fir-t premium again
awarded to Manny's. The Rochester Daily
American, after noticing its principal features,
speaks of it as follows:
This machine seemed to be a decided favor
ite with the majority of the farmers, and we
are informed that Mr. Wood sold the trial
machine, and received orders for 72 others
upon the grounds.
The third is a great trial of Mowers and
Reapers which took place at Chestertuwn, Md.,
on the Bth inst., in the presence of the lead
ing farmers of Maryland. The premiums
awarded were as follows:
For the best reaper and mower combined,
Mannv's patent with Wood's improvement
was awarded the premium of 8100 00
For the best reaper with self raker at
tached, Dorsey's patent, the premi
um of 75 00
For the best reaper, Allen's (of New
York) the premium of 50 00
For the best mower, Manny's patent
with Johnson's improvement 50 00
For the best improvement for cleaning
wheat fields and raking hay, the
spring tooth gleaning rake, by Sin
clair & Co. 20 00
For Ketclium's combined reaper P.DJ
mower, a discretion :ry premium of 50 00
Anu to O. Uussey's 10 feet reaper a
discretionary premium of 50 00
F. 6. Franciscus, Lewistown, is agent for
the saie of these machines, \fliere the farming
community can supply themselves with this
inestimable assistant.

dates previously mentioned, the Democrat of
