Nero SUuertisenunts. INTSTITXJTES. To the School Directors and Schorl Teachers of JI ra dfnrd Co u nly: THE recent Convention of School Hi iff tors of this Conn ty, adopted a resolution requesting th.e County So pori.iiendcnt to hold, or cause to he ht-lil. Teachers" lusti tutus in the different townships of the county. In com pliance with this resolution, I now give notice, that the necessary arrangements are in progress for holding a se ries of these Teachers* Schools. It is not deemed ad visa hie to hold one in each township this fall. In many vases, not enough would attend to give them Interest and utility. I have accordingly, selected such points for holding the first series, as has appeared to me most suitable for tnc different divisions of the county. The places named arc only suggestive. If tlie Sehonf Directors ot cither of those divisions prefer another, I will cheerfully acquiesce in a change. The list, is given at the foot of this notice. These Institutes are intended for Teachers only ; and their leading object is to improve teachers in the Ait of Teaching. It is expected that the Teachers and Diret tors living near the place of holding these Schools, will get the School House which is to he used, in order, keep it so, have fuel supplied and make provision for hoarding the Instructor. The incidental expenses of these Institutes, such as the hoard of the Preceptor, fuel, light—for the evenings must. 1:0 occupied with Lectures—Ac., the Teachers must bear. The amount to each, will, of course, depend on the num ber attending. Four dollars, will PMHALIHB IK; the out hide expenses of one of these Institutes. Tills to he equal ly borne among the Teachers, be their number twenty or forty. Timolv notice will be given in the papers, of the volu me,i eilimit of each of these Institutes, accompanied by a programme of the exercises. The first will be held in r<>- wanda, early in October, and will he under the direction of Professor 0. U. COM: ITX. IU the management ot the others, the Superintendent will have the assistance ot able teachers. Teachers wishing to attend these Institutes, must report themselves to the Secretaries of the School Board of the township where held, liefore the 2oth day of September.— This officers name and address is given in the list lielow. I have to request these officers, to report to me the num ber as soon as practicable after the 25th. School Directors are arnestly requested to give this en terprise all the encouragement and aid they can. These Institutes can be made useful. SCHOOL VISITATIONS. Owing to the irregularity in the time of opening the schools, and the shortness of the time a large majority are kept open, the ruperintendent cannot visit all the schools. This is the sole cause of this failure. It is my desire to remedy this, and i have a proposition to make to the e hooi directors, which will obviate the cause and its re sults. If the dire-tors of Monroe, Albany, Wilmot, Overton, Durell and Asylum, will commence their schools in the fir-t week of November : The directors of Standing Stone, Wyalusing.Tasearora, Herriek, I'ike and Warren, theirs iu the third week in November: Tiie directors of Vysox, Rome, Orwell, V indhnin, Litchfield and Sheshequin, theirs in the first week in De cember : The directors of North Towanda, Ulster, Athens, Bidg liery, South Creek, Wells, Columbia, Springfield, Smith field and East Burlington, theirs in the third week in Dc cember : And the directors of West Burlington, Troy, Armenia, Granville, Canton, i.eroy. Franklin and Towanda, theirs in the first week of January, 1 can visit every school home in the county, that has a school in it, during the winter : and if the oriler I have marked out, or something approxi mating it, is observed in the opening of the schools, and then remain open one month, I will agree to visit nil.— Now, what say you. school directors? There is nothing to prevent this arrangement; will you go into it ? The best way to commence the work is, for each district to advertise for teachers, and give notice in this advertise ment, of the time of commencing the schools. The cost of advertising will be one dollar, and if any board of di rectors feci unwilling to take this much out of the school fund, I will pay the dollar for advertising, on the condi tion that all the districts of the county go into this ar rangement. I hope the different boards will co-operate with me, in every effort made to advance tin* schools. Complaining will not mend them. This has la-en tried for twenty years, and still they are very poor: and we may find fault twen ty years more, and they will he 110 better unless we take hold. We cannot get rid of the school law. This is set tled. The question then is, shall we suffer it to he a bur den without any advantage, or shall we second the efforts of our Low-makers t > improve it ? The latter seems to nie to l>e tlie only wise course. Let us try it, only for a few years. But to make it better we must look after it. We must order out of chaos, or the fruit will still be bitter.

HELMDOLD'S GENUINE PREPARA TIONS. „ , Ilclmbold's Hdgh.'ti Concentrated Fluid Extract Burhv, for Disea-es of the Bladder and Kidneys, Secret Diseases, Strictures, Weaknesses, and all Diseases of the Sexual Organs, whether in Male or Female, l'rom whatever cause they may have originated, and HO matter of how long standing. If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when once seated iu the system, will surely go down from one generation to another, undermining the constitution, and sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city like this, and fill the papers with glaring falsehoods too well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac quainted with their tricks. You cannot be too careful in the selection of a remedy in these cases. The fluid extract Buchu lias been pronounced by emi nent Physicians * THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN'. It is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi lates every particle of the ruitk and poisonous virus ot this disease; and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up the disease iu the blfiod. Constitutional Debility, brought on by.self-abuse, a most terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the lm mau race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents, anil blighting iu the bud the glorious ambition of many a noble youth, can be cured by this INFALLIBLE REMEDY. And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from the simply delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no equal is to be found, acting both as a cure aud preventive. IIEMBOLD'S HIGHLY CONCENTRATED Compound Fluid Extract Sarsaparilla. For purifying the Blood, removing all diseases arising from excess of Mercury, exposure and imprudence in life, chronic constitutional disease, arising from an im pure state of the blood, and the only reliable and effect ual remedy known for the cure of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ulcerations of the Throat aud Legs, Pains and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, l'imples on the face and all Scaly Ernptions of the Skin. This article is now prescribed by some of the most dis tinguished Physicians in the Country, and has proved more efficient in practice than any preparation of Sarsa parilla yet offered to the public. Several cases of secon dary Syphilie, Mercurial and Scrofulous diseases have en tirely recovered in the incurable wards of our public insti tutions, which had for many years resisted every mode of treatment that could lie devised. These coses furnish striking examples of the salutary effects of this medicine in arresting some of the most inveterate diseases, after the glands were destroyed and the bones already affected. NOTICE. — Letters from responsible Physicians and Pro fessors of several Medical colleges, and certificates of cures from patients will be found accompanying both prepara tions.
