SADDLES ;.

Notwithstanding the prejudices against
these Saddles heretofore, he feels justifiable
1 , saying, that he hopes to ga the conli
nce and patronage of the public—as he is
enabled, on the present principle, to ensure
ell his saddles without any extra charge.—
Timt a soil, easy saddle is desirable to all
persons who ride much, and particularly to
those who may not be favored with a very
pleasant horse; I presume all persons will
unhesitatingly patronize the spring saddles,
when they will be ensured as long as the
purchaser may deem necessary.
The elasticity ofthe Saddle acting in har
mony with the symetry of the horse and
rider, not only affords ease to the man, but
incalculable advantage to the horse. All
persons of judgment and experience must
know, that a dead, unelastic weight on a
horse is oppressive. The Spring in the
Girth rifibrds the following advantages: Ist
Moving or yielding with the horse's chest in
breathing, no cramps or cholics or any dis
ease can rise therefrom. 2d. The girth will
outlast two or three of the common kind,
because the yielding of the spring on the sud
den expansion of the chest prevents the girth
from breaking, and saves the rider from fall.
ing; many falls have been the fruits of break
ing girths.
GENTLEMEN and LADES are invi

fling, and incomparable with the difference
in comfort and safety.

ricirTHE foregoing statement exhibits not only the dividends of State appropria
tion for the fifth Common School year (1839,) payable on or after the first
' Monday of June, 1639, when that year commences, to all the districts in the county, but
also those for the Ist, 2d, 3d and 4th school years,(viz: 1b35, 18311, 1837 arid 1939,) now
due to such districts as have either not accepted or not vet applied in the proper man
ner for their money. The whole amount of State appropriation yet due for each district
since the first year of the system, is exhibited in the last column.
The State appropriation for 1835 or the first school year, was 875,000;.f0r 1830, or
the second, $65, 0 00; for 1837, or the third, $200,000; for 1 8 39, or the fourth and pre
sent school year, $700,000, (including the Building Fund oft9500,01'0;) and for 1839, or
the fifth, it will be $200,000, if the law remains unaltered, but if the Legislature add
$lOO,OOO, it will he $300,000; making an aggregate given by the State since the coin
mencoment of the system of $1,250,000 without, or $1,350,000 with the expected in-
crease.
(Indrawn dividends of the two first years' appropriation are to be received from the
County Treasury.
The dividends of subsequent years are payable by the State Treasurer, on application
to the Superintendent. The following,fis the form of the necessary cerlificate,which should
be forwarded to the Superintendent, in every case, as soon as the fact will justify it:
4.$ District Tax for 183 (Date.)
"To the Superintendent of Common Schools.
"Sin—l do hereby certify that a School Tax amounting to dollars
"been regularly levied and assessed for the school year 183 , upon district county;
"that a warrant for the collection thereof has been delivered to the district Collector according to law;
"and that the aforesaid sum is at least equal to this district's annual share of the State appropriation.
"I do further certify that of Post Office, county, is the lawfully appointed
"Treasurer of this District.
"Attest,
Secretary. President.
n----Post. Office, --- county. Post Office, county."
By the next mail after the receipt of the foregoing certificate at this department, a
I warrant on the State Treasurer for the appropriation of the current year, will be sent to
the District Treasurer, together with similar warrants for all undrawn dividends of for
mer years, remaining in the State Treasury. To obtain the latter no additional tax is
necessary, so that one tax, for the current year, equal to the District's share of the ordi•
nary annual State appropriation (8200,060) will be sufficient to enable it to receive all
dividends of former undrawn appropriations.
As soon as a District, previously non-accepting, accepts the system and receives its
money from the State Treasury, it is thereby entitled to all money remaining for its use
in the County Treasury, provided it accepts before the let of November, 1938. In that
case it is the duty of the County Treasurer to pay over such money forthwith to the Die
trict Treasurer, on the order of the Board of Directors. The best proof oil such accep•
Lance and of the receipt of the money from the State Treasurer, as the circular which ac
companies the warrant of the Superintendent, on the production of which the County
Treasurer will be perfectly safe in paying over the dividends in his hands.
Acceptance of the Coriamon School system, under the present laws, can only take place
by the vote of a majority of such citizens of each non-acceptint , District, as assemble on
the day of electing Directors, being in most cases the third Friday in March. The as-.
zone then assembled have two acts to perform, Ist. to elect Direcors, which must be done
whether the system is to be put in operation or not; and 2d. to decide the question wheth
er the aystern shall be accepted or not. This last question is only to fie submitted in such
Districts as previously rejected the system, but riot in accepting districts, and may be
decided in the affirmative by a mere majority of the votes polled.—See the 13th Section
of the ,Common School Law of 1836. ,
Haying thus explained the condition of the State appropriations, the manner of obtain.
ing them, and the mode of accepting the system, the Superintendent would respectfully
address a word of information and advice to the citizens of such townships, wards and
boroughs as have not yet received it. In doing this he has no wish-officially to become
the advocate of the system, but solely promote the interests of those Districts, by explain
ing their present situation in relation to it
By the first Common School Law (that of Ist April, 1834,) ifany number of Districts
in a county—even one—accepted the system, they thereby became entitled to the receipt
of the whole State appropriation intended for all the districts in the county for that year.
This harsh provision was repealed by the supplement of April 15, 1935, which enacted
that non•accepting Districts should have two years, (which of course counted from the
date of the supplement,) within which time they might accept and save the forfeiture of
the undrawn diyi 'ends. Before the passage of the supplement, however, the forfeiture
contemplated by the act of 1834, had taken place in several counties, so faras related to
the appropriation of the first school year (1635.)
. Thus the law remained till the passage of the Common School law of June 13, 1836,
and the declaratory resolution of 27th March, 1837, "relative to until-awn balances in the
School Fund." By the joint operhtion of these acts the period of forfeiture was further I
postponed riff the Ist of November, 1838, (next November,) with this difference, that the
forfeited dividends are not to be distributed among the accepting Districts of the same
county, but are to be added to the principal of the general Common School Fund in the
State Treasury, the interest of which only is annually distributable.
But though the law reads thus, the legal act of acceptance must be performed a consi
derable time before the Ist of. November, 183 S. Under the existing law, non accepting
districts can only adopt the system by the vote of the citizens assembled to elect Direc
tors, which in most cases takes place on the third Friday in March. Hence it follows
that though the completion of the forfeiture does not take place till November, yet that
the act of acceptance which can alone prevent it from attaching, must be performed for
townships in March, and for wards and boroughs,at the time next spring when they elect
their proper officers. Nor is the operation of this forfeitdre confined to the appropriation
of the current year, but embraces those of all the years since the cotnmenceinent of the
system.—See the Ist and 13th sections.
This being the manner and effect of the forfeiture caused by continued rejection, it be
comes proper to state the consequences ofpresent adoption.
Acceptance`of the System next Spring will not fasten it on the District forever, but
onlygill the Spring of 1840, or for two years, at the end of which time it may be discon
tinUed by the vote of a majority of all the qualified voters of the District, if the experi
ment should not prove satisfactory.—See Sec. 13.
Present acceptance will prevent the forfeiture, not of one, but of four or foe years'
State appropriation, including that of next school year, amounting in the aggregate to
about 84 to each taxable inhabitant, or to 82,000 in a District containing 500 taxables,
without counting any thing on a probable increase of appropriation by the present Le
gislature.
- Acceptance next Spring,and the consequent receipt of the above accumulated dividends,
will only burthen each District, next year, with a school tax equal to 64i cents on each
taxable. This tax, however, is not to be paid in that proportion by each taxable, in the
mariner of a poll tax, but will be assessed on the property, professions and persons tba
pay County rates, and on such personal property as paid State tax The school tax on
a township having 500 taxables, and receiving $2,000 of State appropriation, wiz,-1d be
something less than $325.
But in reality, acceptance will not add much, if any thing, to the burthen of taxation
l in the populous tounties. It is known that in many Districts the tax collected by the
Commissioners for the education of poor children, is equal to the sum which would be
necessary to entitle those Districts to the receipt of the' Common School Funds,
if they should adopt the System. Nor would it be necessary, in most cases, to
levy a tax beyond the lowest amount necessary to secure the Slate aid, because their ac
cumulated Slate appropriation of four or five years, will be sufficient to build or otherwi e
provide good school houses, thus leaving the current year's tax and appropriation whol
applicable to instruction, for which purpose it would be nearly sufficient.
If the System be adopted next Spring, only one other tax. after that of next year, rnu:
necessarily be paid by the Districts, before they will have an opportunity of discontinuin.
the System at the triennial election on the first Tuesday of May, 1840. The paymen
of this tax, equal to 64i cents for each taxable, will probably entitle them besides rehev
ing them from the poor school tax, to a State appropriation equal to $1 for each taxable
for the second year. So that the payment ofBl 30 for each taxable, in two years, will
'enable those Districts to receive $5 for each taxable, from the State, in the same time.
Hence it seems to be for the interest of the non-accepting Districts, to take the matter
seriously into deliberation, independent of all considerations arising, from the merits or
demerits of the Common Scbool Slstetia.

Though the System is yet in its infancy, it has produced some decided and salutary
changes in the Districts which have adopted it.
The School Houses are generally much improved, being either new, or well repaired,
and more equally and conveniently located than formerly.
The compensation of Teachers is increased fully one-third, and the profession is rapidly
and proportionately rising in usefulness and independence.
rite number of Children taught in the Common Schools, is at least double that of the
schools which preceded them in the same Districts.
The duration of tearhin‘ , in each year is about the same.

The cost of Machina', notwithstanding the increased compensation Of the teacher—the
.improved condition of the house, and the better order and kind of instruction, is only one
half of what it was before the system went into operation. Portnerly it was $2 2$ on
an average over the State, now it is $1 12i for each pupil per quarter.
In the old schools some paid for their own education, and some were educated at the
expense of the county. This unpleasant distinction is not found in the Common Schools.
All receive the same kind of instruction, paid for out allot same common stock. There
is no room, therefore, for partiality on the part of the teacher towards particular pupils,
or of distinctions among the scholars.

But it is not on acc'iunt of these, its undeniable fruits, that the non-accepting Districts
are now addressed. These facts are alluded to merely to show that there is no daneer
in the experiment. The object of the Superintendent is to lay the whole matter lief;ire
those Districts, that they may act understandingly on the subject, when they make their
final decision next Spring.
' As a friend, he would advise all to accept the System for the next two years, because
at the end of that time it can be discontinued if found insufficient. In the mean time the
accumulated funds of five years will be secured, and can ho applied to the permanent
improvement of the school houses of the Dist riet, and to a lair trial of the Common School
mode of teaching. At the end of that time, if the System be discontinued, each District
will be in possession of good school houses, and of increased experience on ill:, subject of
instruction, which will be amply worth the small tax paid for them.
If the System be iccepted by any of the Districts m question, the Superintendent would
advise that such citizens as have been heretofore opposed to it, but who are candid and
inlelhgent men, shall be elected Directors. - They will have it in their power to keep
down the amount of taxation. and to test the experiment in such a manner as to prevent
any imputation of partiality for the System. Such men, also, representing the feelings
of the majority of the District, will carry public confidence along with them, and the re.
suit whether for or against Common Schools, will be satisfactory to the District.

to personal blows. This is, another specie
men of the "union arid harmony party."
7.The Correspondent of Poulson's Advertiser
says Mr. Sr►:vens took part in separating the a
bove "Harmony Boys;" and that •when he led
away, to the great amusement of the spectators, the

in its operation, and at the same time the !nos

that was ever offered to the world. This wonder

the patients, by merely swallowing u certain num

the purposes of evacuation, with the least possblo

and without the lbar of catching cold, or attention

'These pills cure in all cases, and cannot be •
taken to excess. Experience, which is the touch.

These medicines cure by purging, and yet the
weak, the feeble, the infirm, and the nervous, the
delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their
operation, because they clear the body of its bad
humors, and invariably produce sound sleep; they
are the safest and most efficacious medicine to
take to sea, preventing scurvy, costiveness, &c..
The operation of this mild medicine, which
conveys immediate conviction of its utility, from
the first dOse, is as beneficial to the mind as to the
body, first calming, then curing, all mental de

ritabilities, and restlessness,from whatever source

The being cured of any disease, infirmity, or
sore, is now no more a dubious or uncertain pro.

Medicines will always restwe nature to her due
course. The literary ammo sedentitry,of both sexes,
