I notice occasionally in the Herald,
reports of some of the schools in the
county. It is, undoubtedly, a rood
plan to let the public know ju3t what
oir schools are doing, but it is to be
doubted whether a very correct idea
is obtained from reports as generally
jiren. Perhaps some teachers mark
their own pupils higher than a disin
terested person would. According to
the report, in last week's Herald, of
the Lewiston school, in district No.
7, taking the average attendance of the
individual scholars, the average for
tke school is 96 and a fraction on a
scale in which 100 is perfect. This is
a remarkably good average. But, ac
cording to the same report in another
place, we see there are 85 pupils en
rolled, with an average olaily attend
ance of 22. According to this, the av
erage daily attendance is only 73 per
cent, of the number enrolled. "Oh?

A Handsome Income for an Energetic
Lady or Gentleman.
The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati
have just completed and are now
introducing to the publ'c a Handsome
ly finished Family Scale, an article
that has always beeimeeded in every
household, and in a communication
addressed to the publishers ef this
paper the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party, to intro
duce it for them to the people of this
County. It is very seldom that a new
article steps s suddenly into universal
favor. Housekeepers are loud in its
praise.it is always ready , there are
no weights to get lost or to be huwted
up, 13 reliable, and will not get out of
order. The description f them is a
handsome base surmounted by a col
umn in which works a spiral spring so
scientifically adjusted as to weigh any
thing up to twelve pounds with per
fect accuracy, on the top of the column
is the platform on which the articles
to be weighed are placed, and they
have an adjustable indicator so that
you can tank the tare of any vessel
you may use in weighing giving you
tho exact net weight. Housekeepers
at once see their value in weighing
fruits, sugars and other ingredients
used in preserving, cooking etc., or in
testing the weights of purchases from
others.
The scales are made of all brass, are
highly polished and are finished in a
skillful manner. They are very at
tractive and take the eye of every one
wno sees them.
It seems to us that nearly every
family in this county will want one.
and is certainly a rare opportunity for
some smart and energetic party to pick
up quite a nice little income during
the next few months, the Company has
agents in other counties who are easily
making from 85.00 to SO.OO per day
selling them, and we would recom
mend parties in need of employment
