The Norfolk Herald, speaking Of the
late riot in tho University Of Virginia
says
"If parents would do their duty as pa
rents-and If they would watch, and
govern and direct their offspring as NOR
al and religious parents are bound to do,
until their boys were Of age to be trusted
abroad from under their wings, we should
seldom if ever hear Of the spirit Of insub-
ordination in our colleges. Let it be
remembered, that none but wealthy men
can afford to give their sons college
education. Wealth presumes pride OF
character and standing in socicty-and
yet such men-aye, hundreds of them
are to be found who send their boys to
college without sufficient moral training
10 keep them within the bonds of deco
rum.
1t may be in one case out Of hun
dred that the greatest rowdy at college,
after having "sown his wild OATS" may
become very bright and great man ;
but this is miserable compensation for
the shocking example which he has
spread abroad for the ruin and disgrace
oi hundreds Whatever may be the public
estimate Of the conduct Of the rioters at
our university, let it Gall on their parents,
who are more to blame than they.

ELECTRO MAGNETIC CLOCKS,

! Which never run down, and never re-
qure winding, have been invented by a
MIR. Brain. A writer in the Polytech-
mic Review says-"he set up clock in
my drawing-room, the pendulum OF whic h
is in the hall, and both instruments in a
volatile circuit as follows On the N.
f.. side Of my house two zinc plates, each
foot square, are sunk in a hole and
suspended TO wire. This is passed
through the house, TO the pendulum first,
and then the clock. On the s. l.. side
fthe house, at distance of forty yards,
a hole was dug -four feet deep, aud two
sacks Of common coke buried IN il, among
the coke another wire was secured, aud
passed into the drawing room window,
and joined to the former wire at the
clock. The ball Of the pendulum weighs
nine pounds, but IL was moved energcti-
cally, and has ever since continued 10 do
so with The self same energy.-Ihe time
is TO perfection, and the cost oc the mo-
tive power was only Is Cd. There are
but three luile wheels in the clock, and
neither weights nor springs, so there is
nothing to be wound up. To another
friend in Battersea, he has given three
clocks, two small ones and one a hall
clock, all moved by one current, and
regulated by one and the same pendu-
lum. This is all he has completed in !
