There is ono prevailing error among this
class OF society, which ought to be eradicated
and desiroycd--it is more fatal to the business
Of agriculture than the growth Of the Canada
thistle. or the destruction of May frosts--.we
mean the neglected education Of the farmers
children. Ii is frequently remarked, that edu-
cation is of little use TO The farmer; very lit.
lie science will do for him. Great knowledge
is only beneficial in the professional man Ex-
presslons OF this sort are founded upon IA false
estimate of one Of the most useful and elcya.
ted professions Of life.
1.-THE habitual business Of the cultivator does
not afford the mental powers field for their
most extended exercise, we know not where
to find such field. The study Of agriculture
mites to the theory Of science, the very essen.
liaI material Of its practical parts. 1t makes
the study experimcntaIly and truly learned.
Nearly all that is useful in our pilgrimage
through life is drawn from the earth. Tie
main use Of science is 10 explore the minuiie
Of nature, to fahom its secret cayerns, and to

science is progressing, if his intellec, has been
.e' ''ent IN the education of his youth. The
!heory Is all essential, for this constitutes the
Implement by which he is to prosecute the stu.
ny OF human nature 10 its practical utility.
a man cannot go forth upon the land with
any good degree Of promise in scientific expe-
riment, without the light of past experience
upon his pathway, and this he can only obtain
oya passage through the literary institutions
OF the country, where the results of the labors
OIL me learned for ages are re-collected togeth.
en- and made accessible to the student: TO
attempt prosecution Of the sciences indepen.
dent OF the past experience, as we sometimes
incline to consider ourselves, would be vain.
There Is scarcely valuable discovery of mo-
dern times, but has borrowed something of its
proportions or nslity from the mind Of anti.
guilty.
That the farmer, by scientific cultivation
OF his land. can increase to very orea, ex,.nt
its productions, there does not cxis. r,,;on,i
doubt. And that the time is coming when
there will be actual necessity for this inc,.a.n
OF production, there is every appearance. tits.
therefore, not only wise and expedient to COM
mence or carry on now, but it is high duty
which is owed to poseri,y, in consideration Of
all The blessings which past ages have be-
queathed US.
Permit us, therefore. in our humble way, to
impress upon the minds of the farmers the very
great usefulness Of education. Give your sons
and daughters not the less education, because
you design them for rural life and agricultural
pursuit. you are able, educate them---they
will find abundant employment forall their sci.
ence, though their farms be located in the
deep wilderness Of the west; though thew be-
cast amid barren rocks and sterile plains, sci.
ence will aid them there.
Not a blade of grass nor spear Of grain but
will grow better under the cultivation of INTEL
lectual care. Nor flower, but will show
beauties TO the eye of science, which the vul-
gar world Knows not of. Not vine but rears
finer, and produces more, when educated hands
superntend its growth. In short, all nature
is beantfed, improved and bettered, where tho
cultiva,or is no stranger TO its properties and
the science of its Developments.
Farmers, give your children education. ---Is
is the only earthly inheritance you can be-
queath them, that is beyond the reach Of acct
dent. All other human property is constantly
changing and transitory. Science is not trans
ferable. -not like the mutability of other goods.
negotiable. Firm and unshahcnby human vi
Icisitude. it will be the enduring companion of
your children through life, twill support them
in all the Affections Of Providential chastise-
ment, and prepare them for an inheritance in
that undiscovered country beyond the land of
| death."--Troy Wing.

NOTICE is hereby given that the under
In signed, claimants Of interest in the half
breed lands, are not cooperating with Messrs.
Ain g. Little, In sale of the half breed lands,
or any portion of them. That we do NOT re-
cognise their right to sell. and shall contest
any title which they shall pretend to convey,
and that whoever purchases from them, can in
no event hold greater right than those gentle
men possess, which we believe to be much
smaller than they pretend to claim. There has
as yet been no Judicial ascertainment Of the
rights of the claimants, and we, with others
are endeavoring TO have an investigation take
place, and final determination made as TO the
claims of all, before any sale, in order that
justice may be done to every one. The course
pursued by Messrs. All n e. Little has a ten
Idency 10 throw every thing into confusion, and
create endless trouble and litigation. We
therefore warn all persons against purchasing
from them.
