! EDUCATION OF THE BLIND.-We have lately
read with much interest the sixth Annual Report
of the Trustees of the New England Institution
for the Education of the BLIND. 1t appears that
the present number of pupils is SO. OF the 60
who were in the institution at the date OF the last
Report, 81 can write legibly, and % are able to
correspond with their friends by letter. Some of
them have become good vocaliss and performers
on the piano and organ The moral and reli-
gious nature of the pupils is developed, and they
are instructed in the principles of Religion, and
taught TO recognise the existence of benevolent
God every where and in every thing, and can
read his revealed Word understandingy. The
older male pupils have acquired considerable dex-
terity and skill in the trades which are taught,
and the females have become expert in sewing,
netting, brading, &c. Of the ten pupils which
have been discharged from the institution during
the past year, one has been engaged to undertake
new Institution in Ohio; another prof.
cient in the science of Music that he is at pre-
sent Teacher in the Academy at Derry, New
Hampshire. OF the females, one only is requi-
red by her situation to depend on her own efforts
for livelihood, and it is confidently hoped she
will be able to do so.
The Report states, that there is one subject
which calls urgently for attention, and the claims
for which the Trustees press strongly on public
benevoence. 1t is their Printing Establish
me'f For three years, it is stated, the press has
been kept constantly at work. Amongst other
useful publications, they have published an outs
line of ancient and modern history: many of their
books have been sent to England and Holland.
But it is at present at a stand for want of funds.
1t is desirable to furnish for the pupils some COM
pact Work on Morals, Statistics, and Bellies Let
tres, and it is hoped when the fact is known, the
Press will be again put in motion.-Genius Of
Liberty.

PHILADELPHIA, March 26.

BooKs-7he Great Trade Sale of 1885,
Philadelphia is becoming the Leipsic of America,
as great mart for literature. Our trade sales of
books and stationery are the most extensive in
the Union, and excite no ordinary degree Of at
tention. They continue for several days, and In
vite hitler booksellers and publishers from every
section of the United States. In this respect,
therefore, they are important to our city, While
they cannot but afford great facilities to the trade
generally. The sale for the spring Of the present
year has just terminated, and, considering the
times and the state of the money market, il was;
in all respects, an important feature in the busi-
ness transactions of the nation. 1t was very nu-
merously attended. The purchasers were 100
in number, embracing the heads of many OF the
leading houses from Maine to Louisiana. There
were ll3 sellers. Some idea may be formed Of
the extent of the sale from the fact that the total
number of volumes sold amounted to 314,336.
Among these were l2,l02 bibles, 6,067 testa-
ments, 6,367 dictionaries, "a ,4l9 spelling books,
800 reams Of paper, 5,957 hymn books, ,3,l60
prayer books, and 1900 biographies. Carey,
Lea & Co. disposed of 26,277 volumes; Andrews
e. Co. of 2O,359; Thomas & Co. of 1891; all
others 254,719 The auctioneers were Messrs.
Lord and Garlic; and the sale took place iii the
large room, at the corner Of Decatur and Market
streets. The prices, generally, were excellent.
