A gentleman who has been engaged
as school-teacher in this State for the
last fourteen years,-^William Divine,)
has this day returned from Washing-
ton City where he has been to obtain
patents for the following machines,
viz : A rake to gather up cotton and
corn stalks so that they may be burn-
ed; a machine to plow and harrow
the ground. The same machine will
plant and cover, pulverize and culti-
vate, cotton or corn. It requires only
one man to drive. • It is strong-and
durable. It can be made and repair-
ed by any carpenter and blacksmith
in the country. By the aid of this
machine a few chbiee men can culti-
vate a large form. Also, a cotton press,
it will tyke some time to prepare.
,i The New Orleans Picayune will
hereafter give a weekly report of the
Northern Wool market, having special
reference to the prices of Texas un-
washed wools. This feature wi'l
greatly increase the popularity of the
Picayune in Texas. "
From John P, Morton a Co., we have received the
followingKehool books: Bronnon'a Klocutlou; Whato-
ly'fl Rhetoric and Logic; Towne's AUehra; two looks
on English Oram mar br Noble Batter; and Goodrich's
nerleri at nix Readers, edited by Noble Butler. .
Prof. Bronson'n book has lontr been a help and au-
thority to .the teachera and students of elocution, al-
though of late it has been largely superceded by other
works, chief of which; perhaps, may be named Prat
Rnsseirs. If Bronson errs at all In Ills system, It is
in betOg somewhat too violent and theatrical. We
haye ourielf seen him" tear passion to tatt«rs"and make
himself hideous by dramatic contortions. Bat his
teaching* may be fallowed with the most satisfactory
results, if. the pupil takes care to keep himself toned
down, while he cultivates foree and Are.
Whately's time-honored Logio will continue to be
used with good advantage in schools, aitbosalrIt has
btan somewhat damaged by Sir Ifillfara Hamilton's
book on the same science, and In soms colleges has'
given way to the latter. His Rhetoric still continues
to merit more deolded praise, and wfil long hold its
owb. It is'for the moHt taut, a safe and Valuable guide.
Oooirich's Readers seem exoe|ient^ adapted to their
purpose. The sixth book is admirable tor the excel-
lent variety of Its contents and its appendix of de-
Ifrofl Towne, who was formerly Oeneral Principal of
the Barton Academy at Hotrtie, says that he has spent
ten year*, in preparln* hi# Afcebrai.and ttis belief ia
its worth, is no.dpubt well founded.
Mr. Butler's grammars appear to b«yrell suited td
our common schools, at least so Mag as the present
system of Instruction In that branch continues.
