j. NETIC FLUlD.--These wonderful Rings,
and the Galvanic Fluid have created great sensa-
ton throughout Europe, and attracting crowds
to see them, both in New York and Boston. They
cure with astonishing rapidty rheumatism, govt,
c-doIoreux, fts cramp, sick headache, indigestion,
paralysis, stiff joints, general debility, deficiency OF
nervous energy, and all nervous disorders. They
produce all the beneficial results Of the ordinary gal

the Ring was discovered by Professor Harmance
Christie, of London, in October last and they have
been recently introduced into this country by DIR, A..

3D. That mathematics-this paramount object OF
modern education--are taught, not only as special
branch, and on the plan established by the masters
of the French school, principally Legendre, Bour
don, Lacroix, &c., but, moreover instruction is
conveyed through the medium of the French; DEM
onsrations in geometry and solutions of problems
being made in this language-an exercise which, by
ITSELF might be sufficient to enable pupils to speak
with ease and accuracy.
The English is by no means neglected. The
course of English studies consists of English gram
mar, reading, 1.-THE classic authors weekly recita.
lions of English poetry, previously copied by the
