Mr. Bannan—Dear Sir —I have received from you
with much pleasure a copy of the 'Tofu mblan Calcula

Ticknor. After a careful examination of the work, I
have come to the contusion that it is well calculated
to impart a full and clear understanding of figures, as
applicable to the busineas transactions of the country,
and exactly sack a work as should be introduced Into the
schools throughout the State of Pennsylvania. The
work is full and comprehensive. and treats of several
•nubJects which are often omitted Its elementary works,
among which I was particularly pleased to not ice,is that
of "Practical Mensuration." A familiar acquaintance
with the principles therein developed would form an ex
cellent basis Gtr an ordinary mathematical education.

Without hesitation, that in my opinion it is decidedly
superior, for the use of common school*, in any now in

Mr. Ticknor—Dear Sir have examined your hook
entitled the •'Colmnbian Calculator,•• and can say I ant
much pleased with its Contents It combines great per
spicuity of arrangement with originality and excellence
of matter. Long theoretical explanations, useless to
young students, and all else not highly prattiql and
useful is wisely excluded from its pages. I think it
well calculated for all 'primary schools. The work it•
self bears evidence of the ability and experience of its
author, and to those who may have occasion to use or
examine It, it will be its own best recommendation.

[From the Easton Sentinel ]
Mr.E.litor r—The acquisition of the :science of num
bers, as a rit hmet lc in called. - Is one annuli impottance,
and occupies the "going to school." time of our Juve
nile existence. In acquiring this knowledge, books are
necessary, although In teaching, a teacher should not
confine himself entirely to them, but oral iustraction
should be resorted tn. Wi have a great valley of sys
tems of arithmetic in use, hot for the most part, they
are not eracify what I think an arithmetic should be :
as mind in its juvenile mate ha! to grapple with this
science, It should be made as interesting as possible. It
should be devoid cf all extraneous,or irrelevant matter,
--timarity should be the principal feature. By sins-
Pitchy,' do not intend metal calculations, figures of
birds, apples, marbles, seeing little arithmetical
knowleige can he gained. but by the use of the slate.
The different rules should be stated as briefly ae possi
ble., and in language that the scholar, with a little help
from the teacher can easily comprehend. The exam
ples under each rule should be as varied and as practi
cal as possible. and the DECIMAL Corincece of our
country, so far as the practical partilconcerned,should
prevail to the exclusion of all others. I ant prompted
to these remarks by the appearance of a new work on
arithmetic. called the "Colombian Calculator," by A.
Ticknor of this place. Thin book meets my sleeve of
what an arithmetic should be, better than any, I have
ever seen. indeed I do not see much room :or tmprove
meld. Mr. Ticknor Me also lately pallet's'd a small
kook or arithmetic for beginners., which in my opinion
Is admirably adapted as an Initiation to ells sttudy, and
will he the moat popular work of the kind ever pub
lished. The two together fanning a complete system
and better adapted to the use of American citizens than
anything else.
If retommendations a re any proof of superior merit,
then surely Mr. Tieknor's work.stands unrivalled. for
no work of the kind can compare with itin this respect,
either fur numbers nr weight. The author has labored
hard and Meg in effecting his objectirand deserves well

of his work, that pecunia ry compensation which he cer

I was induced to examine them, in order to, necertnin
whether or not they possessed edrantages superior to
these works on the eubject alrendy in use. ,
The "Youth's Calculator." in my opinion, a book of
intrinsic merit. end decidedly preferable to any other that
has met the public eye. It contains a greater number of
useful practical examples for solution, all adapted to the
cep rifles of youth; than any other book on the subject
that! hare seen. It avoids both extremes. • The questions
are neither too puerile nor too abstruse. This honk is
intended for youth, not for infants. It leads the young
tyro on step by step, inspiring him with confidence as be
advances, and lays a foundation on which be may erect
the most gigantic etructure. It needs but to be carefully

pathy with those of his profession.who, in order to sq-•
care an evanescent fame for his school, will hastily rear
a superitructnre that has but sand for its foundation.

it to its natural state. Another will operate on the

athird will effectually expel whatever impuriFes may
have been discharged in the stomach, and hence they
strike ai the mit of disease, remove all impure humors
from the body open the pores externally andfinternally;
separate all foreign and'obairxions particles from the

besides other substances of value, you should grind

cease their siltie, add to ev y peck o cobs I
quart of meal or half a gallon f bran to each mesa

we herein name, with the add tion of cut hay or

prove its quality. A cow, besides these slop
nti'eses, should be night and morning served with
louv food, as say, fodder, or straw, in suitable
qtfantities, say ten br.., at each meal. If such a
collie° of tree meat were to be observed towards
these generous creatures, there would be less fall

give any "consilerable quantity of milk in winter,

contributes so largely towards human sustenance.

EV - .Fluto to eep,' fipples.—Mr. Pell, of Ulster
County, the celebrated exporter of apples to Ea.
rope, iecommends that apples, after having been,
careful y handp icked in baskets, should be laid on
a (1.)m1,, by without Fouling from the baskets,
until they are 12 or 18 inches deep, and be left to,.
dry arid seaaoti l three weeks; when again equally
carefully packed in clean dry barrels, they maybe
kept without rotting any reasonable length of time,
and are safely Sent to any part of Europe or the
East Indies. IThe plan of drying and seasoning
in the lair, beret . ° barrelling, prevailed generally
some 'tars ago; although nowadays it is meetly
discontinued, a d thought useless. We are dia.
posed te ain't ell of this FOCCIN when it becomes
import:int to ke p apples safely till the next spring,
or to Behr] to foreign countries, for we have always
observed that on opening a barrel a few days after
bring fiat up, in ever so dry, weather, that the
moisture often stands in drops tive.the whole our.
face; arid although loose barrels will allow it MO*
ly to eveporate t yet, where they come in contact,
the two burfaces retain it and cause a rot. .
Apple 6 will not freeze until et a temperature of
from 64 te ten degiees below the freezing point or
water. arid it isl ben'efietal to keep them as cool as
possible. ' , even Gown to thirty degrees. Apples
enclosed in a Water-tight cask may be left in a cold
loft or garret all winter without further care, and
will be adund in thnspring, and perfectly fresh.

pay for mr, and all have abundance of time to
read then. They contain the experience and ob
servations of *te most scientific farmers in the
country ; the Tispect of crops in all countries;
and the conditi n of markets; facts all important
to be known and understood. I have been surpri..
sad to seeliow sew ar e taken, and hate often been
told by thelarrners that they were not able to pay
for them. II can hardly appreciate the remark,—
Every one is alno to pay for that which wilt im
mediately return them a hundred fold. I believe
that a single ntber of any of the publication,, if
thoroughly rea , would be found to contain some
fact, if adopted, that would more than pay for.the
year. .By raitog an extra bushel of wheat it
would pay or t e year."
