The Quebec Gazette, of the 9th instant OBJ
serves.-About % 900 settlers have arrived this
season, being 5000 above the sum total of en-

1900 have arrived since Saturday evening. The
number of vessels arrived this season exceeds
that of last year at the same period, by 90.

past. An Amherst student, who had entered

and he was unable TO solve the difficulties con.

&c how many States there were in the Union
but could not tell. He was asked how many

suit was the same. He was asked. on what

then asked, where this City was located. and

After being told that it rarely happens that one

From this statement, it will be seen that Col.
iegians are sometimes as deficient in the first
principles OF an education, as others. In fact.
one OF the evils OF the day is, that our scholars,
IN college and out, wish to attend mostly to
those branches which are of the least use.
Now the first requisite to improve our schools
49, to employ teachers who are qualified. Ac. |
corfing TO our school law, there are but few
branches to be introduced into our schools :; and
most OF those teachers who are deficie Mt in ed |
ncation. are deficient on these branches But, |
1t Is probable that many more Teacters fail for
want OF capacity for teaching and governing |
than for the want of literary acquirements' !
Those, whose business it is to engage teachers, |
ought to be alive to this subject, and be sure.
that the person they are about to employ pos
sesscs proInptness and decision, and a good
rhare OF common, as we'll as learned sense ii
have something more to offer upon the uualifi.
cation of teachers, but this will be attended to
IN our next, when we come to speak of the
mode of teaching. PLAIN MAN.

HYDROPHOBIA.

Mr.. EDIToR-A late medical writer of emf
nence, has endeavored to prove, that cania.
madness may be induced from cause FOREIGN
to the bite Of a rabtd animal, where the uaf1r.
al habit is prcdtSpOSed to such malady. The
readers of one of our village papers have lately
seen striking illustration of the fact A slight
scratch of your bland instrument, which would
have had no apparent effect on an ordinary
temperament, produced in Seoen davs, true.
and most violent paroxysm of this dissustinG
disease 1t is not stated by the above writer
whether the malaGy can be communicated in
the sane manner as in the common disorder.
BY the laws of nature, it must be more or less
infectious; but in this instance, however, the
venom proves innoxious, although connected
to its highest venom. In such case, where
the unhappy sufferer is harmless, the best rem.
edy isto let him hare has run. If proud flesh,
the common appendage of this spurious dis.
ease, is too prominent, gentle caustic, occa.

another septennial paroxysm, with aggravated
symptoms, it is presumed the crisis is passed :;
and that the constitutional matter, although not
graduated, will, in future. yield TO iudicious
regimen, or assume mitder type. To prevent
relapse, II will be important that all bug hears

SEpIrIoS IN A PRINcE. The troubles with
John Wilkes in the early part Of the reign Of
George tho III, are familiar to every one &C
quainted with English history. The late King
George the Nv, was at that time boy with the
title of Prince Of Wales. His Royal Father,
whose attention to his family was unrcmitting
once had occasion to express his disapprobation
OF the Princes conduct by turning him into
corner Of room with his face to the wall. The
little culprit was determined to resent the in
dignity to which he had been subjected, and ne
sooner had his father turned few PAGES from
him, than he cried out aloud, Wilkes and lib
