The monthly report of the city superin tendent was read as fellows : Lancaster, Pa., Mat 4, 1882. 7'e the Heard of Controllers : Gentlemen: The city superintendent submits the following report of the public schools for the month of April : Number of pupils enrolled, 3,000 ; average attend ance, 2,475 ; average per centage, 84. The number of visits made by directors was5(, as follews: J. W. Jacksen, 3; D. Smeych, 1 ; Luther Richards, 10 ; H. R. Breucnian, 3 ; Rev. C. Keimcnsnyder, 9 : Dr. II. Carpenter, 1 ; II. ESlayraakcr 14 ; P. McConemv. 1 : J. M. Johnsten. 1 ; J. W. Byrne, 7. The city superintend ent made 108 visits te the schools. Your attention is called te the fact that the ceurse of study for the high schools, as printed in the book of mles, has net been adhered te, no doubt, because it was I eund impracticable te de se; but as we are new drawing near te the close of the present term, aud as it is made my duty te see te it that the rules and regulations of the beard are observed, I would suggest that the changes necessary in the ceurse of study for these schoels.be made before the opening of the next school term. Uhder our rule all notes of admission te the pablic schools ought te be givcu by di rectors. It often happens, however, that parents, thinking the superintendent the proper person, apply te him ; aud net un frequcutly directors send applicants te him for examination in order te ascertain te what grade and schoelthoy should be sent. Under these circumstancesl would suggest the adoption of a rule authorizing him te give notes of admissieu te all pupils ap plying te him aud entitled te receive them. This will nec in any maimer interfere with the giving of notes by directors when ap ap pliedte, but will simply enable the superin tendent te de the same without vielitiug the rules. A rule authorizing him in cases of diffi culty between teachers and pupils, te transfer pupils from one school te another of equal grade, would give the proper sanction te the practice which has pre vailed mero or less for the last two years, aim weiiici etten prevent mere serious ti nublc. It affords me great plcastwe te report that Andrew's Lunar-Tellurian, leccntly purchased, is an exccllent instalment. It has been in daily use, as will be seen by the following circular scut te the princi pals of the secondary schools : The city superintendent wiii give les les eons en the glebo te the pupils of the A class, secondary schools, as fellows : Monday, 8 a. m., Miss Huber's ; 5 p. m Miss CarpL-titcr's.

Very u-.-pec fully, your obedient ser vant, R. K. Bueiiri.e. spoke upon the subject, showing that pupils were absent with the consent of parents ; that in some of the schools net a hall dozen pupils were present, and that the subject was net of sufficient importance te make a fuss about. The matter then dropped. Sale of Property Authorized. Mr. llartman called attention te the fact that the JNerth Mulberry street school property is new unoccupied aud unpre ductive. It is net likely that this beard or any ether ene will ever 'build school houses upon it, as the beard owns larger and better lets in the immediate vicinity. He moved that the property committee be authorized te advertise the property for sale and sell it if a proper price be offered. Dr. Carpenter opposed and Mr. Smeych favored Mr. Hart man's preposition, which was finallv a-rrccd te bv a vetn nf tln - cj j - w, v. ..u uearct. Schools te be Closed. Mr. Brcncman called attention te the fact that Whit Monday came en the 20th and Decoration Day en the 30th of May. and as they were both holidays he meved that the schools be closed during these two days. The motion was agreed te. The Heek Coimnlitee' Itepert. Mr. Brosius inquired of the chair what rule he had in view when he decided that the report of the book committee must lie ever. After an interchange of opinion by sev cral members it was decided that the re pert should net lie ever as an amendment te the rule, but should be taken up for action at next meeting. Amending the Kult-g. In consonance with the suggestion of the city superintendent in his report, Mr. Cochran moved te amend the rules se as te give the city .superintendent, as well as directors, authority te give permits te pupils te enter the schools, and also au thority te transfer pupils from ene school te another, when the interests of the school seem te require it. The amend ments lie ever, under the rules for future action. Adjourned. hills or spats " may be made with a hoe.

This makes an oxcelleut imple ment for the work, and saves ene passage ever the field in the preparation. This size of roller in theory would make the marks for the plants about twenty inches apart, but an allowance must be made for the slipping of the reller as it passes ever the soil, which makes my roller work very nearly two feet apart.

Kevinski, Teacher el Vecal Music 1 Totals and Averages 70 That part of the city superintendent's report of last month, relative te the orcanizatien of a city teachers' institute, was taken up, and after being discussed briefly by Mr. Warfel, who left the chair for the purpose, was 011 his motion inde finatcly postponed. Violating the Itutes. Mr. Byrne called attention" te the fact that in violation of the rules of the beard some of the teachers had closed their schools during the street parade of Fore Fere paugh's circus, and that seme children whose parents supposed them te be in school, were trampled upon and hurt, in the crowd. He did net object te the children seeing such street parade?, but he thought if the schools were te be dismissed en.such occasions, the dismissal should be by order of the beard and theu parents would knew their children were net in school, and would take proper measures te keep them out of harm's way. Dr. Levergood said the teachers who closed their schels ought te be named. Mr. Slaymaker named the High school and the Iteckland street school as being closed en that day, and suggested that a reduction be made in the teachers' salaries for that day. Mr. McConemy thought the beaid ought net te be tee hard en the teachers and pupils who wanted te see thejshew, as some venerable directors had also taken occasion te see it one of them at very considerable cost, (referring te Dr. Lever Lever geed, whose geld watch was stolen at the circus.) Dr. Carpenter, Mr. Eberman and ethers Alaiiurcsanil their Application. "U. A. IS," In Country Gentleman. As has been stated in a previous article, the farmers of Lancaster county have learued te prize manure and te practiee economy in making and saving it. Large quantities are also shipjicd from 1'hiladcl phia, which, with the large home bupply consequent en the customary system of stock keeping, previdcsfertilizerssuflicieut for the wants of the tobacco fields. Com mercial fertilizers arc used only in moder ate quantities, aud the tobacco growers have learned from experieuce that nothing lias yet been found se suitable for fertiliz ing tebacci land as barnyard or stable manure. Herse manure is unquestion ably the best, but cow manure if well rolled and used in sutlicient quantities answers the purposes well. It may be asked, what the objections are te commercial manures. I answer, mainly from my own experieuce in using them for tobacco in the Chemung valley, that they are net well adapted te the re quirements of the plant in all soils. Tltere are certain kinds of soil upon which agoed uranu 01 icrunzer would doubtless pro duce geed rcaults, and might be used with profit te the grower, but I have found them of little value en heavy clav or gravelly loams, such as aie commonly used for tobacco in this valley and in Lan caster county. Barnyard manure has ether desirable- effects upon heavy soils besides furnishing the elements of fer tility. It has a chemical action, atd when used in fairly large quantities renders the soil "lively" loeso and friable, making it mere easily cultivated and better" adapted te the wants of the tobacco plant. The burning qualities of the tobacco are also affected te a serious extent often, when, commer cial fertillizcrs are largely used. In the Lancaster section tobacco stalks are utili zed with excellent success for manuring tobacco land. They are usually prepared by cutting them up into short pieces from two te six inches in length and composting with ether manure, with which they are applied when partially rotten. The quantity of manure that should be applied per aese upon land ler tobacco should de pend wholly upon circumstances. There is very little danger of applying tee much, however, and as a general thing if the giewers of tobacco in the -northern tobacco growing sections would apply all their manure te one-half, the acres, the results would be much mero satisfactory te all concerned. Many of the Lancaster growers exercise almost unnecessary care in manuring their tobacco fields or " patches." It is common te sce fields which have been planted, harrowed aud worked as if prepared for corn, with small even-sixed heaps of manure placed in the alternate rows seven or fourteen feet apatt each way. The object of this is that the manure would be spread evenly, which is indeed an important point. I have found that by harrowing, land after having spread the manure as evenly as possible, the same result is secured and the manure pulverized and evenly distri buted. Plew Irg and Jtldgiug. As the tobacco plant is a rapid grower, and matures its eiep in a short period of time, tee much attention can hardly be given te fitting the soil. The meie the soil can be turned and stirred, the mero thoroughly will it be pulverized and th5 mere lully the manure incorporated through it. If the soil is stubble laud it is usually plowed in the fall, and again in the spring as early as ita condition will allow, and again still later, or shortly be fore planting time. If a timothy sod is te be planted with tobacco, I should prefer te plow it early in the spring se that it may be partially retted by the time the plants are tot out. In this case a thorough cultivation and harrowing should be given preparatory te marking and ridging for the plants. Clever ground usually leaves the soil in excellent condition when turned down, and may be left until late in May before being plowed, which will give it time te make considerable growth of top, which will prove advantageous te the soil aud te the tobacco. In all cases, whatever the nature or condition of the soil, it should be reduced te fineness en the surface by use of the harrow aud roller. Next in order is te work off the patch into rows three and one-half or four feet apart, with a corn marker. Tobacco in Lancas ter county is usually planted in rows four feet apart and arc about two feet apart in the row. I think this the best distance for setting the plants en strong soil, and where the large growing seed leaf varieties are grown. With Havana seed, the rows should net. be mere than three or three and a half feet apart at most, and the plants may be set nearer together in the rows. When the rows are marked out they are passed ever with a cultivator with the shares adjusted se as te threw the eartu into a ridge directly ever the marks. These ridges are then rolled down with a light roller having cleats nailed en at the proper distance apart te form marks in which the plants ate te be set. In small patches the NOTED MEN ! Dk. Jehn F. Hancock, late President of the National Pharmaceutical Associa tion of the United States, says : ' Krown's Iren Hitters lias a heavy sale, is conceded te be a tine tonic ; the character of the maiiulactiircrs is 11 voucher ler its purity and medicinal excellence."
