THE TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION, pnr-
X suant to adjournment, will meet in the Methodist
Church, at Orwell Hill, on the Bth day or JUNE next at
10 o'clock, A. M.
The following Resolutions, as unfinished business, will
be considered:—
Resolved, That there ought to be in each township, a
School Officer, whose duty it shall he to inspect Teachers
and visit the Schools in his respective township, either in
connection with the County Superintendent, or alone.
Resolved, That the study of Written Arithmetic should
not be commenced by the child until he is of sufficient
age to fully appreciate and perfectly understand the prin
ciples of the science, and it should alwavs be preceded by
a thorough drilling in Intellectual Arithmetic.
Resolved, That every Teacher should be a subscriber
for, and a constant reader of, some Kducational Periodi
cal ; and also it is his duty to attend, if practicable, edu
cational meetings, and in all other ways seek his own im
provement in the subjects to be taught, as well as the best
aud most approved methods of teaching.
Resolved, That we respectfully and most earnestly so
licit the hearty co-operation of all the School Directors of
the County in carrying forward the great work of educa
ting the rising generation.
Resolved, That Teachers should be sufficiently acquain
ted with Physiology, and the laws of health to be able to
guard with care the health of those committed to their
charge.
Resolved, That it is the imperative duty of every teach
er to su.-tain good order in school, and adopt such means
as shall secure that important end, even if it become ne
cessary to resort to corporeal punishment.
Mr. COLT proposed the following amendment:—
That order is essential to the success of a School. In
maintaining this corporeal punishment, should he a last
resort, but yet its infliction may be the imperative duty
of the teacher.
The Committee on Text Books will make a partial re
port.
An Essay will be read by Miss FANNY O, ANORUS, of
Smithfield. Prof. JAMES M'WILLIAMS will deliver an Ad
dress before the Association.
*" Essays are solicited from members—particularly
from the female members—upon subjects known to be
coming up for the consideration of the Association.

FARMERS, ATTENTION^
Plant your Corn economically and scientifically!
CII. DANA'S HAND CORN PLAN
• TER, patented September 5, 1854, costs ONLY
THREE DOLLARS, and is therefore within the means of
every man who plants half an acre of ground. It is sim
ple in its construction, and executes its work with accura
cy and despatch on various kinds of soil.
Unlike other planters, it has no gearing to get out of
repair, but is carried in the hand like a canc, and can be
worked up hill or down; us well as on level ground, plant
ing as much ground in a day as five men can with hoes.—
It may also be used to plant lieans, as it can be guaged to
drop as few or as many kernels as desired. It is meeting
with unprecedented success everywhere it is introduced,
having been presented at several Agricultural fairs, and
always without exception received the highest premium,
being the best and cheapest implement of the kind in use.
The undersigned, having purchased the right of selling
the said Planters in Bradford county, will canvass the
county in April, at which time he will supply those who
wish, or dispose of Town Rights to anv who wish to pur
chase. JAS. B. SYKES.

DAVIS' PLATFORM BEE-HIVE.
THE subscriber having been appointed Agent for the
counties of Bradford. Sullivan and Lycoming, has the
pleasure of calling the attention of the public to this useful
invention. The Hive is truly a great improvement on the
old square box ; and the facilities it affords for takingout
the honey are as harmless to the bees, as they are profita
ble to the owner. No resort to drums and pans is needed
to hive the increase in the spring, and no resort to brim
stone, fire and fagot is required to conquer the bees and
procure their honey in the fall. As the bees multiply,
new sections are added to the hive ; and when the honey
is wanted, they are removed accordingly. The arrange
ments for feeding the bees, tor changing" therit to different
parts of the old hive, or to a new one, for ventilation, are
unquestionqbly ahead of anything hitherto known.
A description of this Hive is impossible, without refer
ence to a model, but an examination will satisfy anv one
of its advantages. For sale, Town and Individual Rights,
with books, bill of feed, Ac., giving full directions for ma
king the Hive, and managing the Bees.

For an improvement on
SCOTT'S PATENT BLACKSMITH'S STRIKER!
THE undersigned, having purchased the right to sell in
a number of the counties of this state, and elsewhere,
Scott's Patent BLACKSMITH'S STRIKER, respe.-tfiillv
announce that they are now stopping at BLACK'S Hotel,
m Towanda, where they will exhibit the Patent Striker,
and explain its operation. Tlicy expect to remain about
three weeks. By the aid of this invention, ever}' Black
smith can dispense with the additional hand required to
Jorge iron, and will consequently effect a great saviug of
labor to all who become possessed of it. This is consider
ed one of the greatest and most useful inventions of the
age, and the manner in which it forges iron of every des
cription has greatly surprised the numerous sons of Vul
can who have seen it operation.

T > e situated in Overton township, in the centre
of the Coal and Iron region of Bradford County, and ou it
have been found large deposits of iron ore of a superior
quality. This property to Lumbering men offers greater
inducements than anynther in Nnruhern Pennsylvania

pany Railroad, now in process of construction, and con
necting by said Railroad, with the River and Canal at this
place.
There have been opened upon this property three
beds of IRON ORE, of a very superior quality and rich
ness, two of which are ten feet in thickness each, yielding
about 35 to 40 per cent, pure metal, and one smaller yield
ing a much greater per < ent.; all extending through !WM)
acres of the property. This ore is easy of access, and can
be proenred at a very small expense.
