Brattleboro, Sept. 20, 1864. JOHNSON'S FORCE PUMP. Thts is one of the most valuable inventions we have ever examined. Neat, simple, not liable to wear out, it deserves a place in every house. It is capa ble of throwing a stream of water on the roof of any ordinary house, and it has only to be set down in a pail or tub to be ready for work More than one half the fires could be put out with this little machine, if persons had one in the house, before the fire got under way. In places where fire engines are not in the immediate neighborhood, these machines are invaluable. One case came to our knowledge last Fall. In the town of Elyria, Ohio, a fire broke out which threatened to sweep the town. Two engines prevented its spreading in one direction and saved their mammoth ho tel. In all other directions Johnson's force pumps alone prevented the flames from spreading. It was estimated that from ten to twenty thousand dollars worth of property was saved in this manner, and to-day nearly every man in town posses one of these pumps. They are also useful for washing windows, carriages, &c., watering gardens, sprinkling yards and shrubbery, for killing caterpillars by covering them with soap suds, and may be put to many other uses.-Bangor Whig and Courier. The testimony of the Bangor Whig as to the neatness and usefulness of the Johnson Force Pump we most heartily endorse. We have tested its quality as an effectual aid in washing windows, and at the recent fire in this city on Thursday, 30th ult., two of these pumps were freely and efficiently used, one by Joshua L. Heath, Esq., and one by Frank Patridge, and it is believed that their employment saved the dwelling of Stephen Branch, Esq., from destruc tion. We are so well satisfied with the usefulness of this neat implement, that we shall deem it a duty to take the one we possess in our hand at every fire we attend. One of the best auxialiaries to the Fire Department would be a volunteer company each member of which to attend every fire with a Johnson Force Pump and a bucket and throw water immediately upon the fire at its commencement. But aside from all public uses of this pump, it is worth its cost to any family for its pleasant uses and even for the amusement it affords to the boys.-Kenebec Journal. MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE.

These books differ from many others in several important particulars. 1. The investigations of the principles on which the rules of arithmetic depend, always precede and are made more prominent than the statement of those rules. 2. The logical relations of the several parts of arithmetic are clearly marked by their arrangement. For example, reduction is not treated as a separate rule, but so much as belongs to multiplication is placed under that head, while the rest takes its proper place as one of the practical applications of division. Interest, discount, and the kindred rules, are grouped together as illustrations of the doctrine of proportion. The theory of decimals is placed much earlier in the course than usual. The rules for compound numbers are explained in connection with the corresponding rules for simple numbers, the principle upon which these rules depend being identical. 3. A large number of examples are given for the illustration of each rule, and great care has been taken to select those of a practical or business character. 4. The answers to the examples are not given in the arithmetics. Keys to the higher books are furnished gratis to teachers using the arithmetics, but are not sold to booksellers. 5. They are original books, the result of much careful thought, study, and experience as a teacher. Colburn's Arithmetics are regarded by all teachers who are acquainted with their merits as at least among the best treatises in this department. They are everywhere liked best by the best teachers, and wherever introduced, the longer they are used, the better they are liked. Although so recently published, (the series was not completed until 1860,) with very little effort on the part of the publishers to bring them into use, they have already worked their own way into the public schools of such places as St. Louis, Mo.; San Francisco, Cal.; Syracuse, N. Y.; New Haven, Hartford and Norwich, Conn.; Salem, Fitchburg, Somerville, etc., Mass.; and in many of the smaller cities and towns in the vicinity of these places. Teachers and School Officers intending to make changes in this department, and who wish to get the BEST TEXT-BOOKS, are requested to examine these and compare them with cotemporary works. Copies for examination will be forwarded by mail, on receipt of one-third of the annexed prices, for prepayment of postage, or they will be furnished FREE OF EXPENSE on personal application to the publishers, or to [if] DEXTER S.
