day, which, for the honor of our country,
we wish could find no counterpart. He
told young man that Jefferson was dead.
Not a muscle moved in his countenance TO
express the least emotion. He said he
knew nothing Of such person-Ae had
nevcr before heard of him! We felt a
glow of shame, when this was related to
lis. We felt indignant at the heartless pa
rent that could give his country member, ,
and one who was to have his share in WELD
ing her destinies, so completely ignorant
OF her history, as never. to have heard Of
one of the brightest characters that has vet
graced its pages. Shameful, that a parent,
through ignorance or culpable negligence,
should thus chain down to the earth the
buoyant spiritof' man, and paralyze mind
capable, perhaps, Of exalted and beneficial
attainments. But the ignorance Of this
youth is easily OWNED. Our friend asked
him, ''does your father take the papers g.
p" No." was the answer and it is a re-
spouse which too many may truely use.
!. Like other People, we feel an interest
in the increase of our business; but, if we
know our own feelings, we have other rea-
sons for condemning the dangerous mat
tention of passing affairs, and to the culti-
walton ofthe youthful intellect, which would
induce parent to keep from his children's
eyes the brief ''folio of four pages. Short
ly, many youth will approach the polls for
the first time; but what proportion of these
we would ask, will have correct knowl-
edge of their own social duties, and of the
qualifications which should characterize
every candidate for public confidence g.
They may serve to swell the senseless vo-
citeration SO common on election DAYS, but
they cannot exercise the discriminating,
calm decision of the Intelligent and virtuous
citizen. The truth is, there is yet lam
entable aggregate Of ignorance in our coun-
try, an enormous waste of human intellect
and of mental efficiency. But intelligence
is pushing forward its conquests: and If our
efforts can add the least impulse to the al
ready powerful momentum, we shall feel
that we have done some service to human.

Extraordinary evcnt-if true.-The

Northumberland, returning from Switzer-
land, is stated to have reported that most
event had lately passed at
The foot of Mount St. Gothard, a league

At the bottom of a kind of cavern, the
body of a man, about thirty years of age,

seemed to be fresh as. if it had been stiffen-
cd only half an hour before, DIR Hotham,
caused It to be taken out, and having had

Afterwards it was put in warm bed, and
treated as usual in cases of suffocation, by
