SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION.

Our readers are aware that the President
communicated to Congress on the 18th ult
the interesting information, already in posses
sion of the public, that large bequest has
been made BY JAMES SM,rHsoN, Of London,
to the United States Of America, for the pur.
pose offounding at Washington an establish
ment to be styled arHE SMITHSONIAN INsrI-
TUITION for the increase and diffusion Of
knowledge among men," We have since
had an opportunity of looking over the docu-
ments, which accompany the message, and
will state very briefly their contents for such
Of our readers as may not happen to NEE,
with them.
The first is letter from our Charge, Mr..
Vail, dated London, July %, '35, communi-
eating copy Of the will Of James Smithson
with letter from Messrs. Clark, Fynmore
and Fladgste, solicitors IN chancery, who ac'
for the Messrs. Drummonds, the bankers in
whose hands the property is deposited in
trust. 1t appears from these several commu-
nications, that James Smthson, who styles
himself "son Of Hugh, first Duke Of North
umberland, and Elizabeth, hciress of the
Hungcrfords of Audlcy, and niece Of Charles
the Proud, Duke Of Somerset" made his last
will and testament in London, October Odd,
1896, and died sometime thereafter-time OF
his death not mentioned. By this he be-
queaths the whole of his property Of every
kind and nature socvcr to his bankers, the
Messrs. Drummonds, Of Charing cross, in
trust, for the following purposes-desiring
his executors in the mean time to place his
estate under the management Of the Court Of
Chancery.
First-to his servant, John Fitall, an an
nuity Of flOO, for life, to be paid quarterly.
Secondly-to Henry James IIungerford,
nephew of the testator, the whole of the in
come arising from his property of every ma
turc and kind soever for life, after payment
Of the above annuity; and, on the death of
said Hnngerford, the whole Of his property of
every kind, in fec, to the child, or children,
ofHungerford, legitimate, or ilegitinatc, 10
be divided as the father may direct, or he o.
mitting to divide, at the discretion of the
Lord Chancellor.
Thirdly-in case Of the death Of said neph.
ew, without leaving child, or children. or of
the death Of the child, or children he may have
had, under the age of twenty one years, or
intestate, then the whole Of said property,
subject to the above annuity to John Fital,
ITO the United States Of .7mericn, TO found at
Washington, under the name ofhe SmIrHsoS-

crease and diffusion Of kno,oiedgs among men,"

RODGERs' IMPsRIAL SroCKs.-In our ad-
vertising columns will be found nm advertise
mcnt Of Mr.. w. II. Rodgers, Boston, offering
a reward Of yHty dollars to any person in the
New England States, who will manufacture
one dozen stocks which shall be equal in eve
ry respect to those of his manufacture-to be
decided by six competent judges. Without
dctracting at all from the merits of others, we
can safely say that better article in the shape
Of neck stocks, was never invented than that
bearing the above stamp. Rodgers Stocks
are all the go in Boston,as well as in many 9th
er places where they have been introduced, {,
we doubt not will eventually be as extensive
ly known, and acquire a name as celebrated
Us DAY & Martins Backing" Stocks are
often objected to by many on account Of their
heighth or stiffness. In Rodgers Stocks
these objections are effectually obviatcd.--
Their shape and elasticity render even the
highest Of them perfectly easy and comforta-
bic to the shortest necks. No gentleman,
therefore, however short his neck, need be
deprived on that account the privilege Of
wearing this ornamental article Of Dress
For case, elegance, and beauty Of finish, they
are, in short altogether unsurpassed. A
specimen may be seen at the Counting Room
Of this Office.

NEWPORT TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.-The
annual meeting of the Newport Temperance
Society was held in the Lecture Room Of the
North Baptist church On Tuesday evening
last. Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, goodly number Of the friends
of Temperance were present, including ma
ny ladies. The meeting was addressed by
the Rev. Mr.. Dumont, Gov. Enss, II. Y.
Cranston, Esq, Mcssrs. VIM. l.. Dennis,
james A. Greene, Robert Dennis, and J. p.
Luther. We do not recollect Of attending
a similar meeting where better spirit and
more earnest zeal prevailed for the promotion
of the cause. The addresses generally
though evidently impromptu, could not have
been better conceived or more appropriate to
the occasion. They were listened to through
out with great pleasure and attention. II ap-
pears from Report Of the Executive CON-
mittee, that the society now numbers nearly
one thousand members, showing that the
great cause is steadily advancing. We hope
it may continue to advance-there is still
much more to be accomplished. After the
addresses and a prayer from the Rev. Mr..
Robbins, Of the 4th Baptist Church, the So.
ciety proceeded to the election Of officers foI
the ensuing year. Mr.. Geo. w. Sayer hav.
ing declined reelection, Mr.. VIM. Guild
was elected President-Mr. Robert Dennis
was elected Vice President-Mr. G. w.
Sayer, Trcasurer-and Mr.. Benz. B. How
land, Secretary. The same Executive com.
mittee we're again chosen, and after passing
resolution to meet quarterly, the society ad-
iourncd.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Journal Of Education, one Of The
most deserved y celebrated literary pubIica-
ions, says Of this work--"Ths is one Of the
most judicious and practical books Tor apyi-
mary school, we have yet seen. The Geo:
graphical details are well selected, and the
chapter on natural history wiIliurnishmuch
food for thought, and viii aid the early for
nation OF good mental habits, ThsP sf'ii
history is sufficiently copious Tor ihe f,ss y,
es OF such volume, and the account n FtrHne
hardships OF the eally settlers is highly in
structive and entertaining. Books, such az
this, contain the true clements Of enliglten-
ed patriotism, and possess a mnch higher
value than is apparent at first sight"

" OUR attention is moment called to a
IL little Schhool Book entitled the
CIlILD'S ASSISTANT,
to a knowledge OF the Geography and his
tory OF Vermont, by S r. Hall. 1t has al
ready passed through six large editions, and
is now offered Tor sale by the publishers,
with the belief that it is one Of the best ee-
mentary works ever put into the hands Of
children. The present system OF putting a
child to study the Geography of the World,
before he can even bound his own torn or
county is certainly wrong, How many there
are who can answer almost any question
respecting the Geography Of The World and
are yet unable to give the boundaries OF the
County in which they live, much less OF the
several counties in the State! and how many
have a a compend o! Genera History, while
they remain ignorant Of the History OF
their alive State This book is intended to
supply this defect in the education Of the
children OF Vermont. A child should first
study the Geography AMI History OF lis
own State and then some elementary Geog-
raphy OF the World: and next he may tokc
larger Geography.
