EDUCATION - EXCELLENT SCHEME.-Tke best
scheme of education that we have ever heard of,
IS one tina, has recently been tried, with great sue
cess, in the State of Virginia. 1t is something
like, if not u reality, joint stock education COM
pany, organized by means of subscriptions, ty a
number OF gentlemen. Each subscriber, TO the
number of sixty, contributes the sum OF one thou
sand dollars, making, in the aggregate, fund ef
sixty thousand dollars. As consideration fot
these subscriptions, each member of the sixty en-
JOYS the privilege OF having all his thoroughly
educated. no matter how many he may have ; and
in case Of his having no sons Of his own, he has
the privilege OF appointing another young man, and
the privilege OF appointing successor for twenty
years. We are happy TO say that the money has
been raised; and, thus far, the experiment has
realized the most sansuine expectations.
The advantages OF such a scheme of education
are evident. From sixty subscribers, paving one
thousand dollars each, a sufficient sum is raised
Dor the education OF all their sons Thus a man.
educated tor one thousand dollars Under other
systems, the same benefits could not be enioyed
for five times that amount; and yet the education

the Rev. DR.. Murray, Of Ezabethtown, New

Rev. Bishop Hughes, this week, most unmerci-
fully, but think most UNIV arrantably. When
the controversy between those reverend gentle
Elen broke out, we took the bishop under our wing
and ayowed our determination of having justice
done TO him, and thus far we have kept our pro-
mise. The bishop waited for Mr.. Murray to ex-
pend his battery of eloquence and argument,
watching cautiously every stephe took, narrowly
scanning every syllable he wrote, and when DR..
Murray had finished, the bishop gradually energies
froEn his concealment takes up his opponents let
ters, and fro their contents alone, by his powers
logiclan, administers a severe castigatIon to
Mr. Murray, without ever touching the merits of
matters on which Mr. Murray labored so hard
He convicted Mr.. Murray Of being no logician
OF beiag positively incapable. and this, too, from
his own words, of holding a controversy on the
subjects Of which he treated After ths-after
the bishop proving that all his opponents, dis
charges were blank cartridges, Mr. Murray rises
up and because the Bishop will not exchange the
same kind OF amnsnlion with him. be cries out
