Dog*.
A friend desires us to call the attention of
the police to the large number of worthless
(uncollared) dogs al the upper end of Rey

a nuisance, and deserve a shot or two.
Kec.rder’B Court.

hearing to the lengthy examination of a

Look to Your Cla» Bills!
The heavy burden imposed upon large
communities bythe coat of Gas has been for.
years the cause bf great complaint. No sub*
stitute for gas has been found to answer the
requirements of cleanliness and convenience,
and the evil has been borne, because una
voidable. But a remedy is now offered to
our citizens, in the “American Improved
Gas Light” apparatus —by which the price
of light is much reduced, and a better article
furnished, without in any degree lessening
the advantages of gas. The improvement
consists in passing the city gas, after it
leaves the metre, through an apparatus
which enriches it, and increases its illumi
nating power —thus furnishing a given
amount of light with less quantity of gas.
This is truly an important matter, and
further information can be obtained by call
ing, at ten o’clock this forenoon, at the bfficc
of Messrs. Barber, Lathrop A Co., Broad
street
One Currency tor AH.
A bill is now before Congress providing
for the stoppage of the sale of gold and
' silver by the United States Government and
the resumption of specie payment after May
Ist., 1869, by the destruction of idl notes
received at the Treasury in the course of
ordinary business transactions, and the
issuing in their stead of notes redeemable
in coin one year from date. The bill was
adopted in committee by a vote of seven to
two, and is a practical measure worth more
than all the planks in the democratic plat
form. It maans business and not buncombe.
Interesting to Bcnllsts.
The Goodyear' Vulcanite Company of
New York have instituted a suit against Dr.
Crandall, a dentist of Amsterdam, in the
United States Circuit Court, in which they
pray that an injunction may be granted to
the end that Dr. Crandall may be compelled
to desig’t in the use of hard rubber- The
doctor proposes to test the legality of this
great dental monopoly, and has' retained
W. H. Davis, Esq., of Utica, N. Y., as
counsel for that purpose. The dental
profession will await the termination of lias
case with great interest.
Sun Stroke*
The great prevention to sun stroke is tem
perance, and avoiding, as much as possible
the exposure to intense heat; the keeping of
hours, taking one’s regular meals,
/nd shunning all excesses. There are two
farms in which people are affected by exces
sive heat. The first generally occurs after
exertion, and is marked by faintness
or inability to move. The pulse is feeble,
and the skin cool aud moist. In such cases
relief is afforded by removing the person to
a cool, shady place, applying cold water or
ice to the head, and administering brandy
and ice water, or other stimulant which will
Set the nervous system right again. In the
®ore fatal form of sun stroke, the patienr
falls suddenly to the ground, hjs skin ts hot
and dry, his breathing short, and sometimes
- convulsions set in. If aid be not promptly
administered, death will immediately ensue.
1» this case the party Should be removed to
a cool place, the crowd kept back, his doth
'nC should be stripped off, and bis whole
body rubbed with ice, from head to foot, and
pieces of iee kept under each arm pit. Thia
treatment should be persevered in until the
arrival of a doctor, or until it is evident that
the patient is past recovery.
Our Public Schools.
Augusta, Ga., July 1, 18Q8-.
To the Honorable Board of Education,
Richmond County.
Gentlemen —I have the honor to submit
my second quarterly report of the PuWu;
School* of this county, within the bounds of
Augusta.
At the date of my last report, the whole
number of pupils enrolled was nine hundred
and eighty-six (986), whereof the average
daily attendance equalled about per
Prior- to the adoption of a system of lu]Cr
intendence, great irregularity in attendance
prevailed among the childran. 1 may, with
out exaggeration, denominate that irregu;
larity in evil of the first pagniUule; because
it affeoted not only those with Whom it had
becomp second nature, but teachers and the
more regular pupils. How to successfully
remedy this growing evil, was a question,
which presented itself to the miud of your
as of the very first import
ance. Something, it was evident, had to be
done, and that right speedily. After mature
deliberation, I determined to appeal to the
ambition and pride of the children composing
the seteral'sehools. To th|t *'« 11 1$
assistance of* Jflttice’Snlning*, of t,hb-voaT(r
of Education, I ordered twenty beautiful
silvered medals—first class prizes—one of
which, I promised, etfeh teacher, shquld be
publicly presented* td : that boy or girl, Whom,-
after a rigid examination of all the pupils,,
he would report to me as the representative
pupil of his school; and 1 further requested
teaclujrs to report to me the names ot throb
boys and girls “Distinguished for Good
Conduct and Proficiency;” and three boys
and girls “Entitled to Honorable No
tice.”
I Was pleased, in making my regular visits
to the schools, to note the unusually large
attendance, and the earnestness with which
the children applied themselves to the les
sons assigned them. Unacteustofned to See
ing abd reciting in the presence of visitors,
it was rttftsohably apprehended that the
children would be slow to iiceortfmodato
themselves to such an innovation. But in
this wfe were agreeably surprised
Nothing but imperative necessity kept the
children away from school a single day.
Teachers report that, while horn various
causes, such as pic nies, removals from the
city, sickness, etc., the aggregate number of
pupils enrolled,-is lass than Jut lag Um ipiar
ter ending March 31st ult., the average daily
attendance has been better.
In addition to tife improvement nude, in
this important respect, and in their studies,
the children have manifested the possession
of a missionary spirit, which lias accom
plished results not to be overlooked. Boys
and girls, who were known to be negligent,
and indisposed to avail themselves of the
excellent uducatiwud advantages affm-ded
them, have been bfoight into sdmol, aud
the names of some of these appear among
the pupils honorably mentioned.
» * * * * * ■ * * *
■Our teachers have zealously and faithfully
discharged their arduous duties ; have been
constantly at their post, notwithstanding
the fact that, because of the errors of the
system under which they operate, they are
oft-times sorely perplexed and pecuniarily
embarrassed.

THE COLORED S< HOWLS-
Early in April the Board of Education
granted certificates to ten teachers of color
ed schools. The school buildings occupied
were fitted up by the General Government,
and are located as follows ; > , . ;
One at the southern extremity of Hous
ton street* —two schools; one near Beaver
Dam—three schools ; one in Dublin—two
schools; one on Reynold street, below
Marlury—two schools. The Central African
Church is used by another of the Mihpols,
I have found the teachers at their post,
except in two instances, when Providential
causes hindered. Their conduct has afford
ed evidence of the fact, that they are de
voted to their work.
The pupils have, in the majority of in
stances, made rapid progress. They are
neat in appearance and well disciplined.

CONCLUSION.
In the developments of the quarter just
closed, there is much to encourage us. We
have the assurance that the children, and
our people generally, are ripe for the most
perfect Public School system that can
possibly be devised.
METHODS IN US«.
In some of the schools, among primary
pupils, the Pestalozzian method of teach
ing reading, spelling, mental arithmetic,
etc. r has proved to be very effective. By
the Pestalozzian method* is meant that
which provides for simultaneous recita
tions. The Jactot method has been found
to be particularly adapted to imparting
instruction in reading. ■»
VOCAL MUSfC.
1 have long been an advocate of the
introduction of Vocal Music into our Public
Schools. I believe that it would infuse
new life into the schools, to say nothing of
the tefining influences it would exert upon
the minds of the pupils. The experiment
has been made in the Augusta Free School,
and the result is extremely gratifying, j
commend this subject to the careful con
sideration of the Board of Education.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
Your obedient servant,
Marti# V.. Calvin,

Cmcinhati, July *lO, 1868.
Editor National Repullican:
The anticipations of a reaction in the provi
sion market which I xietieed in my last were
realized. The low rates, together with the im
pression that prices had touched bottom, induced
costumers to enter the market. A considerable
number of orders were received from the princi
pal distributing points, but holders, on (he ap
peaiSmce of buyers, at once put up their figures,
and, as most of the orders were limited in price,
considerable difficulty was experienced in filling
them. A material advance was estaMished on
nearly all articles, though the extreme views of
holders restricted operations, for no aoosier was
an advance established, than a further one was
demanded. The market, to-day, closed firm, and
holders were careless about selling.
MESS PORK advanced to >2B for city'packed; -
and was in good dyuiand, with more buyers
than sellers ; country 25 to 500 less.
LARD, under favorable advices from Liverpool
and New York, has been active, and prices
advanced Ijo per pound. City kcttled sold to
day at 171 c, and 1 more iseiow generally asked;
keg 19c.
BULK MEATS are also higher; shouMerA
advanced to 1 lie, but now held at 12c ; rib sides
are quoted at 18 ; clearrib 1-1 J; clear 15Ie—all■
loose. The upward movement in bulk meats led
to an advance in bacon.
BACON Shoulders are now difficult to buy
under 13c—no rib sides being made ; elear rib
sides are held at 161, and clear sides 17c.
HAMS.—Plain 17c.; second pickle, f ßc. ; Su
gar cured, 18} to 19}c ,canvassed and packed.

The high praises emanating from [>eople
in all parts of the world that have derived
benefit fram’tho use of Railway's Remedies,
proves ihqir title to equfideneb. There is
no pain so severe, no disease so malignant
or swift iu its destruction of life, but that the
Ready Relief will stop the pain and arrest
its progress. Every one bus heard of it, if
not tried it. Let those who have not used
it, if sick, give it a trial. A few minutes
will prove its power of etopplug pain. Read
the following letter. Any person doubting
its truthfulness can write to the U. 8.
Consul at Rio. For every word not true,
we will pay one hundred dollars. See Dr.

that 1 have suffered from Pneumonia, and
have had the best advice, but could not be
cured. I was in the hospital 105 days, and
all that time I spat blood and matter, but
seeing that I could not get any better, I
made up my mind and left it. And, fortu
nately, I was met by a friend, who recom
mended, Dr.'Radway & Co.’s preparation.
After taking the first dose of Relief and
water, I could breathe with ease, and ielt
ail my pains diminishing. I continued
taking two of Radway’s Pills every night,
and a half teaspoonful of Relief and water,
and also rubbing my chest and throat with
it, and, thank God, I feel myself perfectly
well. I only took ten bottles of Relief aud
three boxes of Pills. I hope that the
authors of said preparation may have a long
