these books met in Boston, and was attended by
upwards of 900 persons, consisting of Teachers
and other friends of education from the Sta les

shire, and Connecticut.
From Hon. W. b Calhoun late Chairman Of
the Committee on Education in the Legislature
of Massachusetts, and now Speaker of the
House -" gave them very thorough exam
nation, and found them peculiarly adapted
10 the wants Of scholars in the early stages Of
education, that | recommended their introduc-
ton into our schools al once
from The Christian Ernnincr published an
Boston, liverpool and LGadoa-. In these
Books the author has carried forward his plan
of iacile instruction more completely than is
done in any similar hook in our language, that
has come to our knowledge.
The american Journal Of Education, in no
ticing this series of books, speaks of them as
intended "to obviatc prevailing evils in the
Hiothou vi tsuSHiiip tIe iEu1Ilsli iipudpc, anu
as being on the whole excellsntly adapted to
their object"
From Hon Samuel c. Alien, late member of
Congress -" In the Improved Reader and the
Franklin Primer, the author it is believed, has
achieved what could not be done but by the
union Of philosophy and experience"
From Professor Hitchcock Of amherst Cal
iego :-'' The General Class Book. The prin-
cipal excellence of this book, and Of the others
which have preceded it by the same author,
consists in its adaptation to the capacities of
young children in the different stages of their

The Primer, Reader, and Glass Book, are
also recommended by the "Revue Encyclope.

most distinguished scientific Journals of Europe;
also by he North American Review, the Teach

others.
NJ These Books are recommended as de-
cided improvements Teachers who are best
acquainted with their merits, do not hesitate to
recommend them as superior to any Books of
the kind that have yet met their eye. They will
be found, such is the excellence Of the plan and
neatness and simplicity of style, remarkably
calculated TO interest, and of course to benefit,
the young mind.

POISONOUS SPIDER. Permit me, through the
medium of the Gazette, TO call the attention of
its readers to the fact, that there exists among
US species of venomous spider, which within a
short time past has proved nearly fatal to sew
eral individuals in the vicinity of Crosswicks
A few years since, young man, nea. Mount
Holly, died of the bite Of spider, and am in
formed by two ladies, that they have suffered
painful swellings from the same cause
OF the recent above mentioned accidents, the
first was that of boy, near the Sand. Hills, who
swelled alarmingly soon after the bite, but re-
covered in few days by skilful medical treat
mcnt. The second man and his wife, residing
in Crosswicks. He was not at all affected, but
she fell int violent commissions, as did another
woman of the same place, who was bitten about
fortnight after. Copieus bleeding and the
use of anodynes checked the symptoms, but the
cure, believe, is attributed to the external ant
internal use of tue expressed juice of pLantagt
major. or common plan,an, which very de
servedly obtains place in what is called 81 do

THE FISHER BOY.

A leaf had been blown suddenly before
my horse, and, as it ratified along OH lis
emptiness, the animal suddenly started
from his track, and was near leaving me in
a ravine by the roadside, where ] might
have soliloquised upon the ups and downs
Of life, with pathos to charm my fellow
denizens of the mud and mire. Ii is strange,
and my heart smites me at this moment
with the truth Of the reflection, that man
rarely sets himself down to sober rehoc-
ton upon the evanescence OF worldly hap
piness, until fortune has landed him 10 some
low place, where he has nothing to do but
remember the good things he has lost, and
make the best Of the bad ones he has re-
tanned. And this is the worlds philoso-
ply, thus trucking TO necessity, sermoni-
zng on evils one would gladly have avoid
ed, and making virtue Of that into which
vice has kicked him.
In the present instance, / was spared the
necessity of a soliloquy upon mud and wa
ter, and directed my attention to the horse,
who certainly deserves no thanks That i
had not broken bone, or, at least, dell-
led garment-if the latter may not be con-
sidercd the worse Of the two. So smote
the beast, and would have pronounced
maedic,ion upon his vicious habits, had l
not recolectcd that he cared no more tor
anathen,as, than a lady would Tor a iast
weeks lover. 1t was the leaf that had
