Mu. EDIT9II:—In your issue of this
date, I notice an article in the Education
al Department under the head of " What
Does it Signify?" which I think does in-
justice to a class of .citizens to which I
unfortunately, perhaps, happen tobelong,
viz .: the School Directors. For one lam
not willing to submit to the wholesale
fault-finding therein contained without a.
protest, and I ask of you a brief space to
say a. few words in.behalf of a set of men
who are much abused, though their la
bors aro little understood. •
,;
As the article in questionmtems to be
i•editorial, and as J. T. McCollom is editor
in charge, I think itfair to presume fie is
the author.
Allow me to say right here that Ii -en
dorse every word the writer of that arti
cle says in favor of our present Superin-
tendent. The School Directors did a good
work for Bradford County when :they
elected G. W. Ryan to that Oleo. Earn
est, capable, thorough, and 'full of love
for the work, he is putting forth all his
energies to build up the common school
system, and elevate the standard of teach
ing, and I think they will fact wisely if
they continue him in that office. It is
pleasant to kno* that Professor 3fcCol
lom approves of their action in that re
i.pect, or perhaps; more properly speak
ing, that he approveS the work the Super
intendent is doing. lam not certain but
PrOfessor McColl= would have been
glad to receive the Ace of. Superintend
ent at the hands or those - same directors,
even though the State had not "wisely
come in to sa r i.° him from their parsimony.
The disposition to find fault with, and
speak contemptuously and disparagingly
of School Directors, with teachers and
others, has become chronic, and it is sel
-dum that a director has a chance to, de
.fend himself, or that a person is found to
Speak in his behalf. Did it ever occur to
PrOfessur McCollom that, SchooliDirectois
serve without any pay? Take AB case
of our town for instance, where I know
the: directors spent on an , average from
fifteen to twenty days apiece, last year,
looking after school business. Arc they
entitled to no credit? Is it not something
of a tax on .them ? But, are the directors
all to blame? Who' is it that elects them?
The people to be sure. And I know that
some of the directors are elected with di
rect reference to keeping down taxes.
And have the tax-payers no rights that di
sectors are bound to respect? Have thy
not been passing through a long perrml of
very great depression ? The farmer, the
mechanic and the day laborer all have
been maliing a desperate struggle to get
along. And now, although better times
have come, they have' not had tithe to re
cover thC lost ground. But the tax-pay-
_cis say, the teachers have been educat
ed to a. very eilnsiderable e.rent at our
expense ; they have had the -advantage. of
the common schbols kept up by us, and
now it is-no more than fair that they
should take upon themselves a fair share'
of. the burtheit.7 Again, the tax-payers
"that if 'teachers wages are so objec
tionably low; why are so many young'
mcn , and women flocking to the examina
tioncto secure certificates? Does it not
show that they can do better at that than
anything else, ? Had they not rather teach
than work oil farm, or do housework?"
Again, yet' many of those who go out
to teach, never intend to make teaching
a profession, and those who intend to fol
low teaching have to compete with _the
EMI
others. •
Well, pow let me say to professors,
teachers, tax-payers, and others, stop
lun fault witli.the directors. If you
have nut the right kind of directors you.
mill soon be called upon to elect new
ones, and see to it that you elect men
wiio will represent your interests. Put
forward your' best men—men who will;
take an interest in your schools—menE
of enterprise—meta - cif good business qual-
itications—men who will take pride.iu el
evating the school, the teacher, and the
Tours, etc.,
Sc 11001. DIRECTOR
D. LOTHROP & CO.'S FALL
,ROOKS
t iNo. publishing house in the country is
Making more active preparatfons- J for the
. holiday, trade than D. Lothrop Co.,
ml their list of announcements exceeds
-is tent and attractiveness th,at of any
past yetti. As usual, the strongest effort
-has been made in behalf of young read
ers, and the books offered for their delec
tation are as beautiful in theirbutside
ap
pearance as trey are fascinating inside.
• Stories in prose and stories in poetry,
funny stories, iiathetie stories, stories in
natural history and stories about - people
and places, delightfully written and
charmingly illustrated, form a large pro=
portion of the catalogue, whfile) 'books
adapted to the "needs and caps ties of
' older readers are not wanting.
Among the lar'gcr and more important
• books are' Mr. Benjarriin's "American
. Artists," an elegant quarto volume, tilled
with portraits of stone of our Milt famous
authors with illustrations, from their own
hands, drawn expn ssly for the work; a sec- :
or.'d vol. of "Poets' Homes," brought out
:in the same manlier, containing portraits
and biographies of Holmes, Bryant, Em
erson, Paul IL Bayne, John Boyle
ly, and other prominent authors ; a new
edition of " Out of DarkneSs into Light.,"
a volume which a New York critic calls
"a rich work of art ;" a red-line quarto
edition of " Pilgrim's Progress," on plate
paper, with seventeen full page illustra
tions, splendidly bound ; "Story of the
Prayers of Christian History," by the au
thor of " Story, of the Hymns ; Thoughts
that Breathe," consisting of cliciew-ex
tracts froM thd works of Dean Stanley,
with an introduction by Phillips Brooks ;
a new editiOn of "Jesus, Lover of My
Soul ;" a gift book for young ladis called •
• ," Christmas Pie," illutrated by Miss
• Lathlitry ; "Christmas Snow-flakes," !a .
large and elegant quarto volume of origi
nal poems by American authors, with
choice Blu r strations, richly and uniquely
bound, and Dr.: Smith's "America," our
National HyMn, with several - exquisite
engravings and a sketch of the author.
Of the books for young people, protiti-
Tient is "Wide Awake -Pleasure Book
F,' " uniform with the live volumes
which have preceded it, yet with a richer
and more attractive table of contents than
. either of them ; "Don Quixote, Jr.," be
_ ibg a histogy of the further adventures of
Miltiades t'eterkin Paul ; Miss Yonge's
.:" Young -Folks' History of France . and
pouffe
." The Dogberry Bunch ;" "Roy
al LoWrie's Last Year at St. Olave's ;"
and "Breakfast for Two," by Johanna
Mathews. - Others are in preparation and
be early announced.
But it is the children who have
particu
lar reason_to feel grateful to the Messrs.
-Lothrop, who have provided for them a
list perfectly bewildering in its variety
and attractiveness. One of the first books
to tempt the eye of little patrons ,is
"Child Lore," a beautifully bound quar-
to volume, with engravings and colored
illustrations. It contains the " Babyland
Classics," old and new, with short rhymes
and jingles, compiled and edited by Clara
Doty Bates, and is good for all times and
Seasons of the year. "Once Upon a
Time," by Miss B. .E. Brown, is a charm
ing book of story plays, illustrated of 2.
course, and bound in taking style. Then A'
there are "Stories and Pictures of bo- :
- mestic Animals," and "Stories and plc- •
tures of Wild Animals," companion
books, in large type, in chrome board co- 11
veil; a new edition of "Little Lucy's
Wonderful Globe ;" " Children's _ Funny
Book," a big quarto, full of pictures; the I 6
"Birthday Picture Book," with thirty
full-page engravings and mottoes for each r.
day in the month; and several "baby .
books," chief among them " Babyland
for 1879," " Baby's Object-Lesson Book,"
and "Baby's Portfolio."
Unusual attractions are also offered in A.
the little " Libraries" and "Series." The
" Wide-Awake Library," Containing the
eight volumes of the magazine, ought to
be in the possession of every family where 12
there are children, and no cheaper or. 1 j
more fitting present could be made by pa
rents than this. The "Out of School Se-
ries," consisting of four volumes by pop
ular writers, is a special attraction. Then
there are the "Merry and True"' series
of ten volumes ; "Little Chats with Little
Folks," six books in a box ; "Baby Class
ic Toy Books" "Favorite ,Quarto Toy
Books ;" the " Natural History Series
and Stories," dud •"Johnny's Discover
ies," in three volumes.
The presentation book upon which the
Messrs. Lotar4 are bestowing particular
attention, and which, from its peculiar
character, ought to have special attrac
tion for every patriotic American, is Dr.
S. F. Smith's "America," which for
nearly half a . century has served as 'our
national hymn. It is to be brought out
in large quarto form, magnificently illus
trated and bound, and- containing, beside
the hymn, an illustrated /sketch of the
venerable author, who is still living. ' It
would be interesting if we could. know
thtl various important occasions upon
which this hymn has been sung since it
was first written. During the war it exi
erted a wonderful influence at home and
in the field in the way of strengthening
'patriotic feeling, and it has lost~ none of
its popularity or power since. The vol
time which presents it is artistic ' and
beautiful, and it should be found in the
household of every true American.
The five handsomely printed volumes
which constitute the Idle How Series,
and which have put oft their light sum
mer clothing for , tasteful, cloth covers,
claim the attention of all lovers of choice
literature. They have all been' praised
by the press, and , in their cheaper form
have had a largo and steady, sale.. Their
Character is not ephemeral, nor;.are tUy
simply intended as "suminei books."
One can enjoy the experiences of the
"Two Girls who Tried Farming" by a
coal fire as well as in a hammock, or the
narrative of the trio who sailed " tip and
Down the Merrimac" when that famous
river is frozen as well as now. "My
Daughter Susan" and "Priscilla Hunt
era" are acceptable acquaintances at any
time of year, and there is no particular
season to be set apart for "Poor Papa."
- There are two other series which sem
to require special mention. The first,
"History and Biography," containing
five volumes, and " Famous Americans,"
containing the lives of Franklin,- Sumner,
Webster, and Amos Lawrence. They are
books which every boy should read, and
will be the better for reading.
Another now book, " Waifs and their
Authors," is now in press, •ancl , nearly
ready for issue. It will be in the popular
quarto form, illustrated. Of new editions,
prominent are Tarbox's."lsrael Putnam,"
which has been materially reduced hi
'price ; "Sunshine for Babyland ;" Pansy's
three ever popular books, "Mother's
Boys and Girl's," "Picture Book" and
"Our Darlings," all of them enlarged,
and in choice bindings. The "Children's
Almanac," which created such a sensa
tion last season, should not be forgotten.
It is one of the most useful and beautiful
little_ volumes ever brought out by' the
publishers, and is sold for hardly more
than a nominal price. It will be remem
bered the calendar reaches over five years,
and is as good to-day as it was ilast year.

SMYTH'S PATENT DUPLEX GRATE
With or without Eqr Closet, Reservoir, or Ornamental Elevated Shelf.
!t p2l
The Greatest Combination of . Valuable Improvements Ever Presented
After the flattering' experience of the past year, having had a very large and extended sale. we
find that the TILE RANSOM COTTAGE 14 Universally conceded to be the most desirable Range of its
class In the market. .its general features are the same•as in the celebrated Ransom Range. which has
for years been considered the finest Range male. It contains the Datent Expansion Droning
Chamber, which Is-universally acknuwiedged to be the onlyisuceessful and practical broiling attach
ment In use. It is also furnished". with Smyth"?' PateaX Duplex Grate.: This celebrated
Grate Is extremely simple in Its con,truction. It has now. been In active use fur more than five years,
and in view of the universally.succesSful experience of it operation and duralillitY during that time,
as well as the highly satisfactory results obtained by us I rikm rown thorough trial Of Its qual Ides, lie have
no hesitation in pronouncing It the only complete and 'successful arrangement for removing clinkers
and reform from the fire-box instantaneously. thoroughly and cleanly, while the degree of combustion
obtained has never, in our opinion. been equaled with any other style of crate. '
TILE 4ASISOSI COTTAGE is a thoroughly first-clime Rouge In all Its portions and appolntreents,
while the price is extremely It is so constructed that Wean be changed from a Low Closet to a
Single Mal-Range, bruierely lifting the upper part of the IRange froutthe Low closet and placing IL
upon a sat of ornamented legs. All sizes. can also be furnished with the Crnamenial Elevated Shelf.
The lar fe haled Ash Pan . is taken out at the end of the Range Instead of the front—a much more con
venient Ind cleanly arranged ent—and the capacious Warming Clotet extends underneath the whole
Range. ; The 1114 Water Reservoir is heated entirely from the bottom, and Is of a larger capacity than
will be found on any otberltange of this class. All the minor details in the construction of this
Range have received the closest attention. Ithas highly burnished elide, unite-plated knobs of a new
and beautiful pattern, nlckle,-plated panels, nickle-plated Towel Racks, and the mounting and fittings
Is In the best style;

READ THE FOLLOWING LETTER
WHICH SAYS :
3fes;rs. Howarth &
Gentlemen : I- take pleasure in recommending
Dr. German's Cough and Consumption Cure, as I
have suffered with a severe cough since last May.
Have used all kinds of Cough Mixtures. but could
get no relief. Mornings after getting up from my
bed I would be so choked np that 1 could hardly
breathe: also frequently vomiting severely. A .
friend directed Xue to use Pr. German's Cough
and Consumption Cure. 1 did so, with but little
faith at the time, but after using I changed my
mind, and I can conscientiously say, after taking
only one bottle, I did not only obtain relief but am
not troubled with that fullness in the morning.
My cough has stopped, and I can obtain a good
night's sleep—something not enjoyed by me for
weeks before. Will close by raying if this letter
will be of any benefit to you, you may have 'my
consent to make it public. ours very respect.
fully, J. E. 00.08HAMER,
Remember that after using 3 of a bot
tle and you are not satisfied return the
bottle and get your money as we sell no
cure, no pay. Price 50c and $l.OO per
bottle, as we are authorized to sell on
these terms. Tumor S Gordon agents

The full growth of brass; which
nearly everywhere in the Northern
States consists chiefly .of :blue .grass,
is productive of excellvt butter.
October packed butter t-Cuals the
noted '3' line butter, awl it is doubtless
due to the fresh growth .of grass that
is started by the early fall rainS'that
this excellence of the batter is. due.
October butter is the best butter to
pack for winter use; for being packed
and kept during, cool weather, it has
an advantage over June butter in
freshness and age, when it is opened
for consumption. It . .goes, without
saying that to have good winter-but
ter, the best method of packing
should -be used, and the-butter should
be good. The best of: - packing -will
not make bad -butter - 0)04 al
though it ,may redeeminferior butter
from further degradation; but bad
packing will ruin the best of "gilt-
edged." There are - but few require
ments for good packing, but each is
iddispensible.
The butt& must be . ' packed
.while
perfectly' fresh. Immediately after
the final working it should be 'put
away in the, packages. If only .but
five or six pounds, it is safe .ther
while if kept in a lump orroli,it, is -

tents of the package. with which it is•
intermingled. • The salt should. -Jse
pure. Only the best, -of dairy salt
should be used'. One 'Ounce to the
pound of, butter 'is proper quantity.
The package should be perfectly
clean, fresh and sweet:- - A new white
oak pail should be chosen, the larg-•
er the Size the better, 'because there
is less sur4hce exposed•to the . at : mos- -
phonic; inences in large packages;
and a fifty pound tub.may be packed
safely in a month, a part at a time;
if rightly done. The tub should be
stored in a clean, cool, moist,' Airy
place, but one perfectly free from
mouldinesS, A good cellear with a
brick or cement floor ist suitable, but
it should be free from all taints and,
odors. The butter being worked
'free from butter milk, a ounce of
salt, finely pulveriied, to each pound
weighed, not • gueSsed—is added,
evenly worked in-. by gashing the
lump with the paddle, sprinkling the
salt, then turning and gashing again.
The butter should never be plastered
or smoothed over with the ladle ; -but
turned and cut, and"' turned and
gashed again.—lt is g;athefed in a,
lamp and put away for twenty-four

using it. When' prepared for rise it
should be finaly rinsed in cold brine,
a littfe - damp stilt spread over the .
damp inner' surface, and the butter
packed in; with, a ladle, pressing fi

When „more' butter is to'be packed,

removed ; . the lower layer of butter is
sprinkled with a little fine salt; and

over a portion of country a day or

cases.. There are provident; liumane
farmers in all this /region by scores,
who have -provided warm stables and
barns wherein to house their stock,
awl protect them from in2lemcnt

however, in a neighborhood is strik-
