; ' COLUMBIA ACADEMY. : " ' December 18, 1871. Ed." Independent: Though I am unusefl to writing for publication, I will drop you a few lines from our part of the valley. Colombia Academy seems to be the popular center now. Mr. V. J. Parker teaches a largo writing class tnere twicc'a week, and occa sionally gives the young folks the benefit of a spelling school. The one he gave on last Friday night caps anything of the season. The house was crowded to its utmost ca pacity, and every one came forward as he was chosen, and the most en tksiastfc rivalry between the two sides were manifested. All were ea ger to tee which side would beat. After it was decided a recess was giv en, after which everyone in the house stood 'up ; to see who could stand up the longest without miss hg a word. After about one hour of th moat hotly contested rivalry I ever saw in a spelling school, Mrs. Parker (the teachers wife,) walked off with the speils, every one having been 'spelled down but her. The best of order prevailed during the whole evening, indeed, you could have heard a pin drop. Mr. Parker has a great faculty for x reserving good order. I think we have one of the best countiy district schools in the county, though wo have been cheated several times in our teachers heretofore. Our present teacher.Mr. W. H.; Parker, nndcrstands his busi ness exactly and goes along and does it, and we are thereby made happy. Yours, WHY THE BUTTER DiDNT CCME. Ttiev have a new h'red girl over at Keyser's farm, just outside of New castle, and on Tuesday, before start ing to spend the day with a friend, Airs. Keyser instructed the girl to whitewash the liitchen in her ab sence. Upon returning, 3frs. Ivey Rr " f rnTl thft inl rnmrTetel in it - . j x " ery satisfactory mannei. On Wed nesdays Alra. Keyser always churns, and last "Wednesday when she was ready she went out, ana finding that Air. Keysor hid already put the milk into the churn, sho began to turn the handle. This was at eight -1- ? il . ? 1 . V u ciock in iuc uiormug, aim sue turned until ten without any signs of butter appearing. Then she ; called in tho hired man, and he j turned until dinner time, when Le( Inocked oft with some very offensive j language addressed to that butter I which had not yet come. After din ner the hired girl took hold of the crank and turned it energeticalfy until two o'clock, when she let go with the remark which conveyed the impression that she believed the churn to be haunted. Then Air. Keyser came out and said he wanted to know what was the matter with that churn anyhow. It was good enough if people only kneuenought to work it. Air. Kevser then worked the crank until half past thrce,when as the butter had not come, he sur rendered again to the hired man be cause he had an engagement in the village. The man ground the ma chine to an accompaniment of f right fnlhnprecations. Then the Keyser children each took a turn for half an hour, then Airs. "Keyser tried her hand, and when she was exhausted, she again enlisted the hiedgirf,who said her prayers while she turned. But the butter didn't come. "When Keyser came home and found the churn still in action, ho blasted his eyes and did some other innocent swearing, and then ho seized the handle and said he'd make the but ter come if ho kicked up an earth quake in doing it. Air. Keyser ef fected about 200 revolutions of the crank a minute, enough to have juadc any ordinary butter come from the ends of the earth; and when the perspiration began to stream from him and still the butter did not come he uttered one wild yell of rage and Uisappointment and kicked the churn over the fence. AVhen Airs. Keyser went to pick it up she put her nose down close to the butter milk and took a sniff. Then she understood how it was. Tile- girl had mixed the whitewash in the churn and left it there. A good, honest, and intelligent servant who knows how to churn can find a situa tion at Keyser's. There is a vncan fy. Jfljr Adeb-r.

Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new typ, an.l illustratetl with Several ThoiiMiud Enyrav injs and M;tis. . The work original!, pubis hed under the title of Thk Xkw Amkehmx Cvei.0r.rm4 was completed in lSiS.'l, since which tim the wide circulation whih it has attained in all p irts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, nnd art, have induced theeditorsand publishers to submit it to an exact nnd thorough revis ion, snd to issue a new edition entitled Tnr Ameuicax Cve.or.r.MA. Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of know! edtje hn made a new work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political afTairshns kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and re finement of social life. Great wars and con sequent revolutions have ocenred, involv ing national changes of eculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was t its height when the last volume of the old work pjeared, has happily Im cti ended, and a new course of e nuiuereial and industrial activity hns been com menced. Lar!e nccessioiiH t our Kfo.ur.!phicul knowledge have Ik-cii made by the indefati gabh explorersof Africa. The reat jolitical revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lnpse of time, Lave brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose mimes are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particular. Great battles have been fonLt nnd imiort- ant sieves maintained, of which the detail are as yet preserved only in the nenspn pers or ill the transient publications of the lay, but whuh outfit now to take their place in permanent ami authentic hstory. In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly leen the mm of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish dn accurate account of the most recent dis- oveiic in science, of every fresh produc tion in lireiatnre. and of the latest inven tions in the practical arts, as wll as to give succinct and original record of the prog ress of olitical nnd historical events. Ihe work has Ieen oegiin alter long and careful preliminary lalor, and with the mo st nmple rr source s for carrying on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates hnve leeeu used, but every page has lieen printed on new tye, forming in fact n new Cycloprtilia, with the same plan and com pass as its predecessor, but with ft far great er pecuniary expenditure, nnd with such improvements in its composition as have leen suggested by longer experience and en larged knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial ef fect, but to give greate r lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace nil branches of science and of natural histo ry, nnd depict the most famous and remark able features of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of me chanics nnd manufactures. Although in tended fo rinstmction rather than end ellish- ment, no pains have leen spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of then execution is enormous, and it is Indieved they will find a welcome reception as an ad mirable feature of the Cyclopadia. nnd worthy of its high character. Ihis Mork is sold to Subscribers only. payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo vol- 1-. . . . times, eacn containing aoout WJU pages. fully illustrated with several thousand W ood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
