Ma. EDiroa-I am informed that the Young
Men Of the Town are endeavoring to raise a Mi
litary Company, to be uniformed in the Highland
costume of Scotland. 1t is beautiful and pic
turesque uniform; indeed. know nothing, the
appearance of which is more imposing. than that
of a Highland regiment in full uniform. 1t is
admirably adapted to the human form-shews to
advantage the symmetry of its proportions, and
gives military appearance to an otherwise unn-
ieresting figure. wish the young gentlemen
success. and am fully persuaded that the result
wA warrant their expectation. There is one
advan>Ase--it had almost escaped my recOlec-
tion-which should, above all things, recommend
it to the Erq,nsifes Of the present day-that of

beauty and symmetry Of an hanjso5aly rounded

Blake's New Geography.
A GEOGRAPHY FOR CHILDREN; wi


| n copper plate maps and so wood cuts. BY
Rev. ]. l.. BLAKE, author OF several popular
school books.
| Although there are already great number ct Ge-
ogrsphies for children before the public, yet Is De
leved that the author has incorporated into this work
some valuable pecuiarites which render it worthy the
attention of teachers 1t has been his intention to MAKE
the volume attractive and interesting well as rsefuii
and as children are fond of variety in books well as
smusements, an attempt has been made IN tins work
to take advantage Of this trait in the juvenile mind
Accordingly, part of the lessons are m form VI ques-
ton and answer; others have the questions at the endi
and between these, alternately arranged lessons
to be answered entirely from the maps. The whole
is illustrated by the introduction Of historical sketches
nd anecdotes which will TO make the subject
interesting and atone for the absence Of every thing
like baby talk. which is thought to be wholly unneces-
sary.
FROM the Education Reporter.
