The Value Of Common Schools.
81 N the course Of his remarks before the
Ceore,own School. on Friday last, me
Rev. Thomas SewalI,, formerly Of Baitir
nore.1 made some most stirring appeals
n fayor az The common school system;
and sci forth their claias upon the public
IN such manner as 10 enlist the earnest
symna,hies Of all who heard him. Among
other remarks illustrative Of their adyaH-
,age, and as giving an incentive 70 The boys
for future efforts, he mentioned a circum-
stance which we have not before heard
stated, and Of which we will here repeat
tfe general tenor in our own words. A
Young physician, he said, bad, some ihir-
IL wears ago, taken up his abode in q
small village Of Massachusetts,, and for,

send him 10 an Academy near. The

the parents TO consent 10 the solicitation

admirable progress; he left College and
