The annexed eloquent extract is taken

ton Of New Jersey. Ii is when such
truly American spirit is infused in the eff
forts of the friends of general education.

Of the address, and we honor him for the
expression of sentiments So worthy Of n

notion, that there is TO be an education for
The poor, as such. Has God provided for

down his golden food as chccriIy upon the
poor mans hovel rs upon the rich mans
palace! Have not the potcr's children as
keen Il sense Of all the freshness, vcrlure.
fragrance, melody and beauty Of luxurious
nature, as the pale sons of kings? Or it
in the mind, that God has stamped tho i'm
print of Il bascr birth so that tho poor mans
child knows, that it is an indorn certainty,
| that his lot is TO crawl, not climb! 1t is not
so. God has not done it. Man cannot do it,
Mind is immortal. Mind is imperial 1t
| bears no mark Of high or low-of rich or
poor. 1t hecds no bound of time or place,
or rank or circumstance. 1t asks hut free

And the poor -chandlcr's son, that
( sits up all the night to read the book which
an apprentice lends him, lest The masters

harmcless from the skies. The Common
School Is common, not as inferior, not rs

be the best school: and in all good works
The beginning is one half. Who does not

And infinitely more than this is the Com

INCIDENT IN THE BATTLE OF CHIppE-
wA.-Whilc General Scott was in town
yesterday, several Of our citizens called to
pay their respects to him; among others
MIR. Hanks, one of our most cstmabc ciri-
zens, who had known Gen. Scott in the
war of 1912. General Scott in Introducing
Mr.. Hanks to his Aids, referred to an Incl
dent in the battle of Chippewa. In the en-
gascmcn, OF the 9th of July, 1914, Gen.
Scott said he saw three drummer boys who
were near the troops and exposed to the
fire of tho enemy. lie directed them to go
back where they would bc out of dangcr.-
The boys retired. Two of their drums had
been spoiled by shot; and they were dspu-
ing about the possession of the third drum
which was whole, when two of them were
killed by cannon ball, which took of the
heads of both. Gen. Scott said that one of
tho most affecting sights he ever beheld,
was the surviving boy gazing u: the bodies
of his Two cOmpanions-it was spectacle
which made him weep. The bows were
all about Is years of age. The survivor
was Mr.. Jarvis +. Hanks, Of this civ who.
in reference to this incident, NAV saw with
the Roman poet, or in n more devoui sense.
