Normal Schools.
Fkiemd Cobb; The proposition of the
Mw sfield Classical Seminary and your re--
marks upon the necessity of teachers being
qualified for their profession, in your last is
sue attracted my attention, and I could but
feel that it is a subject that demands tbo se
rious consideration and prompt action of the
citizens of this county.
The subject of common schools is justly
attracting more public attention than at any
former period in the history of our Stale, and
we find by examining the reports throughout
the Stale that there is a genuine want of qual
ified teachers. This is alarmingly true of
what is termed the “rural districts” and it is
a notorious fact that in our own county we
have suffered in no small degree in this direc
tion. I would not fear to venture the opin
ion that of the more than two hundred schools
in our county, we have not to exceed twenty
teachers who command cfoss.certificates.
If this be true we have at least one hundred
and eighty schools suffering for the want of
proper teachers, and who can estimate the
lots sustained by the five thousand scholars
attending these schools.
Unqualified teachers are dear at the lowest
price, while those fully qualified for the pro
fession are cheap comparatively at the highest.
To obtain qualified teachers should be the
first object with every school, but in this
county, or state even, they cannot be obtained
to the extent required. And how can we
procure them more readily or cheaply than
by accepting the very liberal proposition of
the Mansfield Seminary.
I am highly gratified at the prospect pre
aenled for the advancement of our teachers
and consequently of our schools, and will not
every man say accept the proposition t There
can be no valid objection. Tha tax proposed
is not oppressive-end should not make a feath
er’s weight in opposition.
The sum proposed will be about $l5OO less
than our county lax, and for this sum trifling
to each individual, we shall receive a reward
which cannot be estimated by dollars and
cents.
• There should be no opposition and I be
lieve there will be none. Every intelligent
mind must see at a glance that every town
ship and borough would receive a speedy re
turn for their expenditure.
Let the proposition be accepted at once
that our children may receive the priceless
boon tendered them.

tague, Mr. EZRA SWOPE and Mtss HARRIET
SMITH, all ot Charleston.
To Mainsborg, Dec. 3d, 1857, Mrs. DEBORAH
FOX, m her 53d year.
[Staler Fox was an invalid for many yean, and
at times a great sufferer; the grace of God however
enabled her to suffer patiently. She believed that
her afflictions were working for her a far more ex
ceeding and eternal weight of glory. It was evident
(o her friends for a long time that her bodily strength
was failing, and that they—if'spared—would have
to follow to the grave one they dearly loved. About
a week before she died it was evident that the time
of her departure was at hand; she seemed conscious
that her work was done and was desirous to depart
and be with her Saviour. On the morning of her
death the natural son illuminated her dying coun
tenance, and at the same time we have good reason
to believe the San of righteousness was shining up
on her deathless spirit. Sister Fox was a member
of the M. £. Church about X 6 years. She has left
three of her daughters in the church, and our ear
nest wish Is, that the remaining two with their dear
father might become such, and true followers of those
who inherit eternal life. As an evidence of the es
teem in which oar departed sister was held, we have
only to mention when her funeral sermon was
preached—notwithstanding the day was" stormy—
more assembled than could find a place in the house
of 'God. Her home had been the welcome abode of
many of the ministers of the church of her choice,
and it will doubtless so continue.
May all who read this notice of her death meet
her.in Heaven. John Powxll, Pastor*

AYER’S CATHARTIC PILLS.
THE sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been taxed
their utmost to produce this best, moat perfect purgative
which is known toman. Innumerable proofs are shown that
these Pills have virtues which surpass in excellence the ordi
nary medicines, and that they win unprecedentedly upon tho
esteem of nil men. They arc safe and pleasant to take, but
powciful to cure. Their penetrating properties stimulate the
vital activities of the body, remove the obstructions of Its
organs, purify the blood, and expel disease. They parge out
tho foul humors which breed and grow distemper, stimulate
sluggish or disordered organs into their natural action, and
impart healthy tone w ith strength to the whole system. Not
only do they core tho every-day complaints of every body,
b*u also formidable and dangerous diseases that have baffled
the best of human skill. While they produce powerful effects
they arc at the same time, in diminished doses, the safest and
best physic than can be employed for children. Being sugar
coated, they are pleasant to take; and bcingpurely vegetable
are free from any risk of harm. Cures have been made which
surpass belief were they not substantiated by men of such
exalted position and character as to forbid tho suspicion of
untruth. Many eminent clcigymcn and physicians have leu t
their names to certify to the publia the reliability of my rem
edies, wlule others have sent me tho assurance of their con
viction that my Preparations contribute immensely to the re
lief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.
The Agent below named Is pleased to furnish gratis my
American Almanac, containing directions for their use and
certificates of their cures, of the following complaints :
Cortivenes*. -Bilious Complaints, Rheumatism. Dropsy, ,
Heartburn, Headache arising from a foul stomach. Nausea.
Indigestion, Morbid Inaction of the Bowcli and Pain arising
therefrom, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, all Ulcerous and
Cutaneous Xhseasos which require au evacuaut medicine,
Scrofula or King's IN il. Th>\v alio, hy puiifving the Muod
and stimulating the t-ystem. cure mauv complaints which it
would not be supposed they could reach, such as Deafness!,
Partial Blinduoso. Neuralgia and Nervous Iriitabiiitj, Ik*-
rangemeuts of the Liver and Kidneys. Coot, and other kin
dred complaints arising from a low state of tho body or ob
struction of its functions.
Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers with somo other
pill they make more profit on. Ask for Ayer's Pills, and take
nothing else. No other th*.*y can give you compares with this
in iu intrinsic value or cut alive powers. The sick want the
best aid there is for them, and they should have it.

BUCHU LEASES are procured from the eootii

cape of Good Hope have long used this-article as a
remedy in a variety of diseases. From them the
medicine was borrowed by the English and Dutch
physicians residing there and by their recommend,
alien it was soon employed in Europe. In p!oce*s
of lime this medicine has come Into general use*
and is highly spoken of by the best medical writers.
Physicians recommend it mostly for complaints of
the urinary organs, such as gravel, a morbid irrita
tion of the bladder and urethra, retention of orint\
also incontinence of urine from want of lone in thu
urinary organs. It cools the unnatural heat and
relieves pain; and in many cases of long standing
It has been effectual when other valuable medicines
had failed to produce an effect. The active princi
ple of Ibis medicine is a volatile oil which is mostly
lost by the old process ol boiling. Hence U requins
great care and skilful management to prepare this
medicine properly.*
FLUID EXTRACT OF BUCHU is a strong or
concentrated preparation prepared ty the new
process called 4 Displacement.” By"this the valua

Charles O. Btz of Tioga
Village would respectmlly call the attention of the
public lo the following advertisement. “Man wants
but little here below nor wants that little long” is
an old saying and perhaps true to a certain extent
But it seems lo me that in this time of general
suspension and panic, everything is tending to a
reversion of lime-honored sayings, and everybody
wants a little more still. The farmers (and they
really ought lo have as much as anybody, for they
are loonr country what a mainspring is to a watch,)
wants a little more for their wheal, buckwheat, rye,
corn. oaU, potatoes, &c., than the purchaser feels
able and willing to pay. The merchant wants a
little more for his Flour, Pork, Salt, Dry Goods,
Boots & Shoes, Hals &. Caps, Hardware, Crockery
and ten thousand little things ho has lo sell than
the farmer thinks ho ought to pay.
At this present lime it seems to be conceded by
all that the cash value of good wheat- is SI per
fati'hel; buckwheat, 2 to 2-6; corn 3-G lo 4-6;
oats, 2 lo 2-6; butler, 14 to 1C cents. Now to
equalize the matter and make it satisfactory on both
sides, I want and will agree to take from every
farmer of Tioga county, all the wheal I can get
for the next 60 days at Q and 10 shillings per bush

corn 5 to o-6; outs 2-9 to 3 shillings ; butter 16 to
