differing essentially from tLc old mode,
and is believed to be preferable to it.
One of the objects Of education, and not
the least important, is the cultivation of
the feelings, which is frequently overook-
ed, and can never be effected by rash and
austere treatment, which only tends to
sour the temper, and render the DISPOSE
tion uDgoyernable. The human mind Is
90 constituted that II receives instructions
with more facility, when actuated by a
principle of love and independence, caused
by wise and prndent management, than il
does when under the dominion Of fear, en-
geadered by degrading and unnatural pun
iahmcnt. II is,therefore believed, that rea-
son and persuasion have more salutary
influence in combating the bad habits
contracted by children, than punishment
of any kind, and that they are the only
stimuIants necessary for the good govern
ment and advancement Of aschool.
The situation and character Of ZION
HILL are too well known I /, require ppar-
ticular description. II is enough to say
that il is healthy and respectable GEN
tremen who may think proper to place
their sons or wards ut this school for in

sidulous attention will be given to their

which ] replied that should not, believing
that | could perform the duties of the Office
without doing so; although it would be attended
with Inconvenience to myself, | did not intend
it should discommode the community.
Finding that such an intention does not com
port with the general wish OF the people OF the
County, and that it is welding an undue infiu
ence on my election, (hayng given rise to al
impression that designed entrusling much OF
the business to the care Of deputy, which Is
very remote from my intention,) have, on
second reflection, at the instance of many o
my friends, determined, for general sotisiac
ton and my own convenience, should | be cleo
ted, to remove my family Immediately to Lib
erty, and devote my undivided attention to the
performance of the duties of that office.

ITIS EASY TO SPOIL A SON

There are but very few that can bear the
hand OF indulgence Without injury. In our
country, in most instances, those who are 10
be great or useful, must make themselves
SO, by heir own eXertions; and often by
very vigorous effort. Nine cases out of ten,
the young fellow, who feels that he IS pros
vided ior-that his "lather is rich"-wiIl
relax his eXertions, and become poor tool
whatever may be his occupation.
There is nothing so destructive 10 the
morals, and, we may add, TO the peace Of an y
community, as the neglect Of parents, rich
or poor, 10 teach their sons the importance
OF being early engaged in some active en-
pioy ment. Too many Of the citizens OF
every place under the influence OF false pride
suffer their sons. after quitting iiien schools,
to lounge about the public Offices anu ia,erns
OF their place Of residence, rather than cause
them 10 engage in some important branch
oil the mechanic. arts, or force them, by din,
OF their own industry and energies, To seek
| their fortune in other pursuits. Nothing is
more detesiahle, in our eye, than TO sec a
healthy, good looking youth, breaking loose
from the restraints OF honorable industry,
returning 10 his fatber's domicil for support /,
aud .oqting ii about, rather than pursuing
some occupation which will not only sup,
port himself, but give qualification TO hi.
worthy parents.
we would say TO every father who has
such son, be he rich or poor--rather drive
him 10 "cut his cord of wood day - than
suffer him 10 spend his time in idleness
can idle head IS the DEVILS workshop,"-
and we may add, that idle hands are the i'm
pliments he employs to execute his dark de
signs Wafchto,cer.
