A Norel Excursion. Ted hers and
scholars of the Baptist Sunday school in
Troy, lately made an excursion in steam-
boat from Troy to Hudson. AT an early
hour, headed by their superintendent and
accompanied by their pastor, they marched
in procession from the church to the steam
boat, on board of which they embarked
In the centre of the procession beautiful
and appropriate banner was carried by one
of the larger boys, supported by couple
of the youngest urchins, and this was pre-
coded and followed by about three hundred
teachers and scholars from six to sixteen
years of age. AS the boat gaily dressedin
flags and streamers, gracefully swept from
the wharf, the children commenced singing
one of their Sunday school hymns, the
sweet melody Of which, accompanied by the
strains of few appropriate musical instru-
ments, died away in the receding distance
of the boat.-N. Y. Eapress.

Dog Killers VS.. Judge Lynch, at Troy
We understand, (says the Albany Evening
Journal Of Saturday, that a number OF
citizens of Troy, becoming indignant at the
destruction of the dogs in that city, assem-
bled together on Thursday evening, went
in search of and found the persons to whom
the corporation delegated that duty, seized
them and took them to place agreed up
on, and there furnished them with an entire
suit of tar and feathers! Some of the per-
sons were arrested, but they were immedia-
tely bailed.

Some interesting aboriginal relques have
recently been discovered by a Mr.. Meal,
near Dundas, Upper Canada.-A large
number of places were found, full of hu-
man bones, Indian cups, kettles, pipes, bead
and warlike instruments, believed to have
been buried there, at least two centuries
since. Large trees were growing on the
spot, but as several articles were found
which conld not have been of Indian fab
ric--among others glass beads and a sword
it is evident that the burial must have ia.
ken place since the arrival of Europeans.
The discovery will of course furnish food
for the antiquarians, which seems, indeed,
to have been already the case; for several
ingenious conjectures have already been
made, with very fair prospect of crop"
of several thousand more.-N. Y. Cor.

Marshall Academy at White Pigeon.-It is
with great pleasure that we learn by an act of the
Legislature, which we publish in another column,
that an institution of the above description has
been chartered for this county. White Pigeon is
decidedly the best location in the county for such
an institution, and we hope that all will unite in
its speedy erection and establishment.
Too much attention can not be paid to tho SUBJ
ject of education in the western country.
We take the following beautiful extract from
the New-York Common School Assistant, for
September, which shows in brief and happy
style, the power of education.
Our School Houses.-These humble institu.
tons, standing upon almost every of our land,
and scattering light in every direction, the
guardians of freedom and the strength of our
country. From every one of our one hundred
thousand school-houses in this republic, there
goes forth stream Of light that falls upon, and
cheers, and improves, every farm, and work
shop, and family hearth, in the neighborhood.--
The school-house is the former and the nourisher
of the mind in the district 1t is the place where
the farmer, and the mechanic, the mothers receive
their education. The school-houses of this state
have given us our prosperity, our enterprise, and
our controlling station among the states They
have madeit the ''empre state y for what are ma
tural facilities unless there is mind to take advan.
tage OF them. Blow out the light of these institu-
tions let darkness rest upon these buildings, and
we would soon grope our way to the savage state.
Shut the door of the school-house, and agricul-
ture is forgotten, manufactures cease, and CON-
merce stops. Strike from the existence these in
tellectual fountains, which daily pouring light
and liberty over the land, and all is night-tho
darkness of midnight and barbarism.
Friends of education! to neglect these school,
houses is as criminal, and shows the same want
OF patriotism and philanthropy, as to destroy them.
Have you thought of this2

Observation-Disclosures every body is talk
ing of going west, and settling down in ILL
nois, Michigan, &c. We regret it, not on
their own account because they will be
quite likely to better their circumstances,
but because it is taking away some of the
best part of our population. They long
for q wider sphere, more enterprise and ac-
tivity. The truth is that every article of
domestic consumption is extravagantly high
with no prospect ofdiminution in price, and
moreover, the business here being so limit
cd, some find it absolutely necessary to find
employment elsewhere. New England
has seen her best days. The tide of popu-
lation and enterprise is in another direction,
and it is making large drafts upon our cities
and towns, and it will be some time before
it will cease. The west is the land of prom.
ise and abundance, and there all meet full
return for labor and capital. II is hard to
be compelled to leave ones birth place for
livclyhood, but it has become so common,
that il is not regretted as il was wont to be.
So long as the spirit of inactivity contn-
ues, enterprising men must seek out anoth-
or home for their industry.--Wc know of
some Of our most valuable citizens who
have determined to emigrate with their FAM
lies the present year and many others will
follow, next. 1t Is consolation to know that
their influence will be felt where they are
going, and that they will contribute much to
the character and prosperity of their settle.

We cut the following from the Illinois
State Register of the End instant.-Det.
Press.
Michigan.-Wo see it stated in some of
the papers in this state, that the effect of
the refusal of Michigan to agree to the
boundary as fixed by the late law of Con-
ress, in case she should SO refuse, will be
to cause her to "remain territory" The
Governor of Michigan reads the law differ
emily, and we think he reads it right. The
law of Congress speaks of Michigan us
State. She is, then, an Independent state
at this moment whether she agrees to the
boundary fixed by Congress or not, and
cannot therefore be thrown back into her
old position as territory. The effect of
her refusing the boundary will be to keep
her out Of the American Union. We have
no idea that she will SO refuse. The fact
that her Legislature has already passed a
law accepting her portion Of the Public
Dcposites, shows plainly that the body has
no idea that the Michigan convention which
meets to decide the boundary question on
the 26th instant will be such rs to keep the
state out of the pale Of the Union.
