It is a curious fact that the one dollar
notes arc more popular with the business
and general public than the standard silver
dollars. The "dollar notes are always in de

the fact that their continued issue was stop

the expense of printing. The United States
Treasurer gives notice that no more will be
supplied until after the first of August. 1 he
order for their preparation could not be given
until after the appropriation bill was iased,
and the failure ot the supply is due to the

two years of educational work, it might be
supposed that so many would be tbe chang
es, so marked tbe progress and so prominent
tbe improvements during this time, that it
would be an easy task to describe in ele
gaut terms the great advancement. It could
be lossible to draw pen-pictures of gnuid
results, but I faor such pictures would be
pretty creations of tbe imagination, and
might be more beautiful than truthful.
Education is plant of slow growth, and
rapid must be the strides onward for tbe
progress to be very perceptible, even in a
period of two years. To say that there has
been no real, substantial progress during the
past two years would net be giving the facta
in the case, for when we recall the many
elegant school buildings erected, the num
ber of bouses supplied with improved pat
ent furniture, the deep interest and concern
of directors and patrons, tbe earnest efforts
of faithful teachers, and tbe patient toil of
many pupils, we must conclude that there
has been a grand forward movement, unob
served, yet real.
HOVSES.
New school bouses have been built in the
following districts : Addison, Concmangh,
two in Elk Lick, Larimer, Meyersdale, Mid
dlecreek. Paint, Stonycreek, three in Som
erset township, Somerset borough, and
Summit. The new brick bui'ding in Som
ersot is a model of beauty and convenience.
It is two stories high, contains four large
rooms, furnished with patent furniture and
is supplied with an abundance of black
board surface. It is heated with the latest
improved heater, which rendersntire sat
isfaction. It is the handsomest school
building in the county, and reflects the wis
dom, enterprise and good taste of the school
board under whose management it was con
structed ; with the grounds planted with
trees, and enclosed with a neat iron fence ;
as is contemplated by the school officers,
Somerset will have school facilities the most
desirable.
The new brick building at Meyersdale also
contains four rooms (two only in use) ; is
substantially built, and considering its cost,
is among the finest in the county. It is
pleasantly located, and with little expense
the grounds, too, can be made beautiful and
attractive.
The new school house at Garrett contains
four rooms (three in use). It is a two-story
building, conveniently arranged and well
built, and has been wisely planned so as
to accommodate the future needs of the
growing town.
The neatest, coziest school house in the
county, and the one costing comparatively
least, is the new school building for the
graded school at Petersburg. It is planned
upon scientific principles for health and
comfort, and is well furnished with iinproy
ed furniture. It was planned and construct
ed under the immediate supervision of the
Secretary of the Board, who is ever faithful
in the performance of all his official duties.
Space will not permit a description of each
of the other buildings erected. All are
lurge, well planned, and fully up with the
times, being of the latest models of school
architecture, the buildings in E'klick ex
celling others in that they are nicely painted
in the interior, making them mure beauti
ful and attractive for the pupils. The new
buildings have generally been supplied
with latent furniture. Addison, Milford
and Greenville have added patent furniture
to a number of their old houses, making
them more comfortable and convenient for
the pupils.
The school house at Stoyestown has been
repaired and repainted, adding much to its
appearance. Wellersburg has remodeled
their old building, putting in larger win
dows and plastering the room ; also reseat
ing with patent furniture, making it one
of the prettiest rooms in the county.
TEACHERS.
Two hundred and -.forty-two teachers
were employed during the past term, and
with few exceptions tried to do their work
well, while many of our teachers are not as
fully prepared for their work as could be
desired. They are generally doing excellent
work. An effort has been made to encour
age teachers to do more reading. Questions
were asked at the examinations about our
best writers and authors, and other persons
prominent in public life. At our last insti
tute "Brooks' Methods of Teaching" was
adopted as the work to be read and studied
by teachers during the year. At the pre
ceding institute "Baldwin's Art of School
Management" was adopted. Many teach
ers have purchased these books, and we
hope much good will result from their care
ful reading and study. During my visita
tions last winter it was already to be notic
ed that there existed a greater uniformity
in the calling and dismissing oi classes and
in the general management of school work.
It could be easily observed who had been
reading the work adopted. The salaries
paid teachers in many districts ft entirely
too low to secure the best talent, yet we are
pleased to note that the average salaries of
male teachers in the county have advanced
from $24.SS in 18S0, to $29.22 in 1883, and of
female teachers from f21.78 in 1S80. to $23.79
in 1R.S1. This shows a gradual increase of
tbe average salaries paid, a fact we are glad
to report and encourage. It is unreasonable
to expect to retain our best teachers to do
school work, when almost every- other oc
cupation offers them better pay and more
permanent employment. About 20 per
cent, of onr teachers quit teaching in the
county yearly, and they are usually our
most experienced. This is a loss of teach
ing force that we cannot well afford to lose.
and while the number who take their places
bring new life and vigor to the work, they
lack that essential element, successful ex
perience, which time, earnest toil and effort
only can give.
granted. Thirty applicants were rejected.
During the school year ending June 1, 1SS4,
sixteen examinations were held. Two hun
dred and ninety certificates were issued, and
twenty -seven applicants were rejected.
"Within the period embraced in this report,
all the schools of the county were visited
twice with the exception of four. The dis
tance to be traveled in reaching the schools
is so great in a county to large as ours, that

lJiSTITCTES.
The county institute of 1S82 was held at
Somerset during the week commencing De
cember 25th. Two hundred and twelve
teachers were present. AH the sessions of
tbe institute were well attended, the citizens
of Somerset seeming interested, as well as
the teachers present. In addition to the
work done by the teachers of the county,
instruction was given by Prof. E. O. Lyte,
of the Millersville Normal, and Prof. S. It.
Hefges, Principal of the Shippcnsburg Nor
mal School. Miss Louise McClintock. of
Meadville, enlivened each session with a
song. Lvemng lectures were delivered by
Prof. S. R. Ileiges, Col. J. P. Sanford and
Dr. A. A. Willitt.
The iustitute of 1883 was held at the same
place during tbe week commencing Dec.
24th. It was a decided succiss. It was
generally conceded to be the best ever held
in the county. Only sixteen teachers were
absent Dr. X. B. Sclm-fler, Principal of the
Keystone Normal, was principal instructor,
and did noble work. Prof. T. B. Noss, Prin
cipal of tbe California Normal, assisted jiart
of the week. Trof. W. B. Null, of Lancas
ter, bad charge of the music, and made a
grand success of it. Dr. E. E. Higbee, Su
perintendent of Public Instruction, deliver
ed an address at the Director's meeting. It
was well received, and was considered one
of tbe finest efforts of the week. Prof. Geo.
E. Little instructed in drawing, and for sev
eral evenings entertained tbe audience part
of the time with his skillful drawing and
charcoal sketching. Evening lectures were
delivered by Dr. X. C. Scha-ffer, CoL O. W.
Bain, and Dr. J. H. Vincent. Miss Tlelen
Potter occupied an evening in recitations
and impersonations. Tbe Allegheny Quar
tette furnished music one evening. It was
a grand weeks work of instruction and en
tertainment Persons were present frcrn dif
ferent parts of the county, and expressed
themselves as being satisfied for the time
and expense incurred in attendance. The
county institute is doing much to encour
age teachers in their work, and in educating
public sentiment in favor of public schools.
District institutes were conducted success
fully in Elk Lick, Summit Jenner, Jeffer
son, Meyersdale and Milford. Much good
resulted from these frequent consultations
of teachers concerning their work. j
Mb. Editor. The republicans of this vi
cinity met in the school house near town tin
Saturday evening for the purpose of organ
izing a Blaine and Logan club. At the time
appointed the house was filled with enthusi
astic friends of the Plumed Knight. The
meeting was organized by electing A. M.
Sevits, Esq., President, and Prof. J. M. Tier-
key, Secretary, after which Hon. A. J, Col
born, of Somerset, delivered an eloquent ad
dress, presenting the issues involved in th's
campaign in plain and unmistakable terms,
and his audience gave evidence of their ap
proval by frequent cheers. After the ad
dress the enrolling of names began, and
judging by the manner in which every vo
ter came forward and signed the paper, this
will be the largest club in the county. Tbe
full organization of the club will take place
on the evening of the ICth inst., wbea other
good speakers will be. with us. Look out

Last Thursday Dr. John P. Cover died, af
ter a lew days illness. Funeral on Satur
day, which was attended by a large con
course of people. The doctor was nearly 82
years of age. .
A short time since Peter Buechly fell from
a cherry tree, spraining his ankle to such
an extent as will disable him from perform
ing manna! labor for some weeks to come.
Last week one day while Irvin Rayman,
a son of Charles F. Rayman, was shoeing a
horse, the animal threw himself upon him,
breaking one of his ribs and otherwise bad
ly bruising him. Mr. R. won't shoe anoth
er'borse for some time to come, but he says
he'll vote for Blaine and Logan, all tbe
same.
The hum of the separator can be heard
throughout tbe township, separating "the
wheat from tbe chaff," and new wheat is
selling readily at 510 cents.
Last week we had plenty of rain. Hay
ing was stopped entirely for over a week,
in consequence of which a few of our farm
ers are not yet done making hay.
Next Friday, August 8th, Berlin will
have the opportanity for the first time, of

Tbe Republicans of this section organized
a Blaine and Logun club last Saturday even

list will soon be swelled to two hundred.
Hon. A. J. Colborn was present and made a
stirring speech, which was highly apprecia

IT IS TRUE
That stable manure Is a first-class fertilizer. It
is also true that Animal Bone Phosphates are
first-class fertilizers: We know that it costs some
farmers as much as $au and fto per acre for stable
manure, while one-half ef the amount invested In
Animal Bone Manures wonld give as good results.
Yet all we ask farmers to use is "M pounds per
acre of any ofEaagh's E&w Bone Manures, and
thereby nnd that they pay a large percentage of
profit upon the investment
500 pounds of the 825 Phosphate, at 823 per
ten In Philadelphia, costs 86.2.1.
Some farmers think 40 pounds pre am
enough.
2 bags of the 825 each 200 pounds, will give
