EIIRICH A CO., one of the most successful

i what the public want. Sell it with a moder-
I profit. Advertise largely in first class news
papers, and you are bound to do a trade. Let
the newspepers be the best you can obtain, \
no matter what the cost. It is but natural
that an advertiser must, in a degree, share in,
and thereby gain from, the respect which a
! reader entertains for an ably-conducted
, journal."

j The fine, plump fowl came to us incog, but
I we have a st rong suspicion that it grew near '
j our boyhood home in Farmer V Hey, and j
that we have been recipients of favors from
the same source before.

[tar IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIREC
TORS AND TAX PAYERS—The fol
! lowing decision of the Superintendent of
' Public Instruction is of great importance to
tax-payers as well as directors, as violation
of the law upon the subject will deprive dis
tricts of the State appropriation, and subject
; Directors to severe penalties:

Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 1, 187!>. J
There is but one time in the year when di-
I rectors can adopt a new series of text books
for the schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between the time of
electing teachers and the opening of the
\ schools. Section 23, Act of M,.v 1.1854, says:
" That immediately after the annual election
of teachers in each school district of the state,
and before the opening of the schools for the
ensuing term, there shall be a meeting of the
di roc tors or controllers and teachers of each
district; at which meeting the directors or
i controllers shall decide upon a series of school
; books, in the different branches to be taught
I
! during the ensuing school year; which books,
i and no other, shall be used in the schools of
the district during said period."
Such is the law, with this exception, that
! books cannot now be changed more frequent
ly than once in three years.
