As the period has eomo for the usual summer disorders so fatal to chil dren, timely attention should be given to the fact that these and many other diseases, such as fevers and diphtheria, may be caused by drinking impure water. Dr. Richardson, the eminent English authority on hygiene, says, that "a large number of diseases form erly supposed to be due to some occult and unremovable cause are due to the consumption of impure water." Peo ple forced to drink water from creeks known to have received dangerous polluting matter are told by some BCientbts that the water is purified by irrigation and downward filtration dur ing its flow and the organic matter ox idized. But it is obvious, as an inves tigator of water impurities forcibly puts it, that "living matter does not get oxidized by flowing down a stream any more than a fish," and people who have to use water from a well should see that no surface water drain% into it, and should be particular to empty their dish and wash water at such a distance from the well that it can not possibly run into it or filter through the ground to it. The heavy rains that we have had of late make these practices particularly dangerous. If you bav~ any doubts regarding the purity of your drinking water, boil and cool it before using. Xow is the time to procure Guest's Spring Beds, and do away with your heavy ticks in warm weather. R. Ash will be around with them.' Farmers who leased heir coa lands in the northern part of Butler county in the years 18fi3 and 1864 to Messrs. Kyle, Niblock and Breuin, will find it to their interest to confer with J. C. Vanderlin, attorney at But ler, in regard to their leases. There is a covenant in these leases to pay yearly rentals, so many years alter a railroad was built on or near the lands leased, one year after a demand. Fail ing to make these payments as stipu lated for within the year was to be considered an abandonment of the lease. There are now several year's rental duo on these leases and farmers wishing to get rid of the lease must make a demand on the company, Mer cer mining and manufacturing, now owning the leases, by himself or his attorney. The party of the 2nd part in the lease failing to pay within the year, is a breach of covenant, which taken advantage of, the Court on pro per application will strike off the lease. Mr. Vanderlin has been employed by quite a number of the farmers to ex ainiue their leases,make this demand— and if possible have them stricken frotp the record, and if there are others who have not yet taken action in the matter either to secure the payment of the money due or to have their leases given forfeited, they should apply to Mr. Vanderlin at once. ap26-tf —The Crayon Portraits made by Dabbs the Pittsburgh Photographer are always artistic and the likeness perfect.

For the benefit of our patrons who may contemplate planting grape vines during the coining season, we copy the following from <'Julwin's Jt'irat Wiirl'l. of St. Louis, Mo., in relation to his famous white grape, which is of especial interest, coining, a* it does from the originator of the "Martha" grape : FniKSD CoLMAN :—We have heard so much about the two New White Grapes of the North.

EXAMINATION'S. I Twenty-three regular and six special exam- I illations were held during the year. 1 hey j were mostly written; and yet we think the oral ! method has some advantages worthy of consid eration. Of the two methods, perhaps, the written is the more satisfactory to the appli cants. All members of the class having the same list of questions furnishes a means of as certaining the relative qualifications oi appli cants as wc'l as determining their individual mental siatus. In addition, the manuscripts Icin be filed for reference if necessary. For tie I oral method this, at least, may be said : 1 lie I manner and style of expression of the appli cant may be taken as a test and details giyen which, when written, are often ambiguous or so abridged as to create a doubt of the appli cant's knowledge. TEACHERS. Onr teachers are generally conscientious and ernest. I doubt whether a larger percentage of the members of other professions—offering njgreater inducements than .he profession of teaching does —manifest the desire to improve aud succeed that our teachers do Still, too many are found .vho ma'ce noth.ng but te.:t b K>k preparations, teach nothing but what the text book in hand contains and ba ely pats ex amination. This fault, if it may be called such, is, perhaps, the dregs of the old system which prevailed in the school-room before our public schools had advanced in general culture' as far as they have done in laue.- years—There are a few others who fail to accomplish any thing for lack of that discipline. <.vsteniatio ar rangement and classification whic.i wi.'l secure good order and promote studiousuess. These difficulties, however, wi'l be eventually over- I corne as teachers and school officers are grad ually coming into the acknowledgement that teaching is a profession and not a mere tem porary expedient, HOUSES. Eleven new houses were bu'lt duri - g the year and a few of the old ones enlarged or otherwise repaired. Tne new building are all frame except one, wbicu is bricic; all are of sufficient sue for present purposes, are well lighted and, with a few exception better locat ed than many of the old ones. Better means of ventilation than that of lowering ihe upper sashes of the windows is needed to tecure proper temperature and pure air. Most of the school houses have some play ground, but only a lew have grounds of sulfibient size and a very few have grounds enclosed. The directors of Ceu treville built a two storv house ooutaiaing four rooms, three of which are in use. The school has been graded, and, instead of two schools as heretofore, three were in ope aiion during the year. The fact that all the new houses bu-lt during the year, and a goodly number of the old ones, were seated with iinpioved patent furniture indicates progre. ' in that d : rection at least. Much of the old style furniture in use is most certainly injurious to the proper physi. cal development of the pupils. Dusks and seats are too high and 100 far apart. To use them, especially for wring, requires au un natural and injurious position of the body. AI'PABATCS. But few schools are well supplied with ap paratus. Soroe lie ve been pretty well supplied, but for want of care aud a an'.table place to keep it, much of it is comparatively worthless. There ought to be in every school-room a book cas<- so constructed that globes, maps, charts and other apparatus could be stored when not in use. Many houses are extremely deficient in quality If not In quantity of black-board surface. Whether board or plaster it should be large enough to accommodate a class o'class medium size, and, by all means, should have a slated surface instead of ordinary IdaeK paint so frequently used. It may not be the province of teacher to oall attention to thb»e deficiencies, but that it is the'r right to do so isobv'ous, and I am inclined to think that if teachers would call the atteution of directors to them, they would be promptly remedied. TEXT BOOKS. Whether or not directors havo the right to furnish text books with the public funds, seems to be an unsettled question. However, two of our Boards did it and find it a matter of economy as well as a very great aid to the teacher iu classifying his school and to the pupils in their advancement- Want of uni. formity and of bool.s suited to the capacities of the pupils is a hindrance to prog.-ess in some districts. Directors in these dist lets would find It advantageous to their toliool to adopt a uniform system. COUNTY INSTITUTE. The annual institnte convened at Builer, Dec. 28 —30. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the atlendanoe at each session was large. Much interest was man'fested by the people. As a means of securing belter work in'the school-room and of elevating pub lic s&ntiment in favor of better schools the eili. oiency of the annual institute is not questioned. During each session time was given the teach ers for discussion of various topics ; many took an active part.—Those to whom duties were assigned responded n-omptly and greatly ex ceeded expectation. Informal meetings were held by the teachers from eight to nine, A. M. More work was done by our teachers than at any previous institute, anil their efforts aud abilities were his ily spoken of by inauy. District institutes are kept up with good suc cess iu a few districts. —When properly con ducted they are not only a means of self cul ture to the teacher but secu; e better and more regluar attendance ui school, reach and inte - est parents that cannot be reached by means of the oounty institute. TE.\< IfKU'S ASSOCIATION. The Butler County Teaclie s' Association or ganized one year ago under the direction of Kev. T. F. Staoffer, of St. Paul's Orphan Home, and Prois. Bancroft and Tinstuian, of the Witherspoon liutitulo. The second ics-.'ou was held at Butler, May 25th and 26th. Although the enrollment of teachers was not large, the association was a succe s. The pa pers read and instructions given were of a high order. Col. L. F. Copeland lectured during the evening. His day talk, '"The Office and Work of the Teauhor, was flue. The record of the association, thus far, has been a hai mo niousand prosperous one. We trust as the years go by that the association may continue to prosper and to increase in numbers and in influence. DISTRICTS. Many distriuts dlvidu the school year iuto two and some inU> three terms of from two to four months each, employing in some instance) three different teacaers during the year. The wages j'or summer tonus are low and toe schools are too frequently taught by inexperi enced teachers. Teachers beginning for a term i« definite plan in view. It would improve schools where the term does not exceed six months, t« have one oootinuors term taught by a well qualified teacher. ViSI WWS' . Of the two hundred and slxtv schools In th* county, two hundred and forty-two wee visii ■ ed once and some of them twice. Of the eigh teen not visited, eight we.'e closed at the t.me of visitation in those districts. The schools of Marion district wej'e all plosgcl before they could be visited. Most of the houses were found in as clean and tidy a condition as the surroundings will admit. The wa'ls of some were nicelv decorated with pictures,, or forest leaves, adding much to their appeatance and nittk lug them quite llttraptivp. These schools were generally taught by ladies. The condi tion of the roads and the inclemency of the weather for the greater part of fie season re tarded visiting to some c\i«;'it- Visits aver aged fully one hour. During this time I en deavored as much as possible to ascertain the teacher's method of teaching, mode of dkei. pline and classifications, and to offer sugges tions where I deemed it necessary.—Was ac ooippniicd by one hundred and nine directors and met fifty one patrons in the schools. OBSTACLES. A few of the obstacles iu the way of more rapid improvement arc: the too frequent change of teachers, low salaries, short terms, teachers who resort to teaching as a temporary expedient rathpr than u profession. Want ot compensation |br services of directsrs, irregu lar attendance and tardiness of pupils, te*t books unsuitod to their capacities, parental co-operation and closer losal supervision. IN MKMOKIA.
