EDUCATION FORMS INDIVIDUAL
CHARACTER.
BY S. c. GoobRICH.


We have laid down the position that ed
ucalion forms human character This is
not only true as matter of theory, but of
practice; not true only in general, as re-
garding classes Of men, but as regarding
every individual. do not mean to affirm
that all are moulded by ,rhat is called ed
ucalion. use the word in that larger sense,
which includes all the influences which aid
in the development Of our various faculties.
Nor do mean TO touch the question of in
nate ideas, or the unseen mbulses which
may, and doubtless do arise from providen-
,ial influences. There may be benignan,
power watching over the orphan, and sup
plying. by holy suggestions, the place of
parents, corrective of the mistakes made by
the natural guardians of children. As the
wind is tempered to the shorn lamb, so
there may be inward light given by Heaven
10 those whom society would leave in dark
ness. Blu. however this may be-, our course
of duty is plain. The swaying tide may
give some lee-way to the ship, but the ma
riner may not therefore neglect to spread the
sail or guide the helm. Revelation, expe-
rience, common sense, teach us that educa-
ton is the great fashioner of human char
acter, and we are bound to act accordingly
If this then be true,-if education forms
individual character,-it is important for
every paren: to inquire himself, and with
special reference to his own children, at
what period Of life it operates with most
force, and what are its most efficient en-
gines,

OBITUARY.

The Times of the 2lst September, announces
the death of Col. JOHN HUGHES, citizen of
this county. He was a native of Montgomery
county. and died in his 50th year.
About twenty-five years ago, Col. HUGHEs re-
moved to this county from the District of Column
bia. He was bred merchant, but having married
early in life, he took up his residence in Charles
county and devoted himself to the peaceful pursuits
of agriculture as more congenial to his taste. In
1926, he was elected a Delegate to the Generel
Assembly of Maryland, and the duties which that
honorable station devolved upon him, were dis
charged in such a manner secured to him the
confidence of his constituents and reelection.
whenever he desired it. He represented the coun--
ty for several years and discharged his duty with
scrupulous fidelity. Col HUGHES possessed ara
acute mind, which was improved by much read iag.
and observation. AS citizen, he was useful and
respected. Kind in his social relations, and as a
friend sincere and faithful, purer-hear.sed gentle
man is not left behind him. But it WIS in his own
family, at his own fireside, where 10 was most to-
be admired. There might be q all the graces
and virtues that adorn the uprgF and pure minded;
there he was to be known on = to be loved and adj
mired. Those who knew b .m best LOVED him most,
and he forfeited the esteem or lost the regard
of friend. His neighbours, the community in
which he lived his fri ends and bis family, do sim
cerey and will long lament his DEATH

The Baltimore Clipper in noticing the a.
bove article says:
eve have been under the impression that
"a dfferen, practice prevailed in the purchase
of wheat by sample, and that the general a
greement was, to take the wheat at the sti-
pulated price, if delivered on or before day
named. 1t is true, there may be difference
of opinion as to the quality of the wheat,
and its conformity to the sample, and we
know not how this difficulty is to be reme-
died, unless farmers discontinue the practice
of selling by sample. The purchaser would
certainly not be bound 10 take wheat infe-
rior in quality to the sample, whilst the far
mer is in fairness entitled to receive the
price agreed on, if the whea, equal the sam
pie. The Gazette suggests the propriety
of having the difficulty settled by referees;
but this would be doubtful process
Would it not be more satisfactory to both
parties to have the agreement reduced to
writing in such manner as TO render each
party liable TO advantages in case Of failure
to comply. The complaint Of the Gazette
is the first of the kind that we have heard"
The editors of the Clipper may not have
heard of the unfair practice alluded to, be-
cause the farmer has quietly submitted to it
until forced by its frequent repetition to COM
plain. 1.-THE editors will make the enquiry
they will find that these complaints are not
without cause.-Ed. Mari. Gaz.

operations even before the close of the pre-
sent season. The language addressed by
Charles Albert to this troops is still decided
Iy hostile, and if the preliminaries of peace
are not adjusted before the conclusion Of the
Iarmistice, two-thrds of which have already
elapsed,* we must anticipate renewal of
hostillies with every probability of a French
intervention. The King Of Sardinia has
pledged himself TO reopen the campaign, if
honorable conditions are no offered before
the conclusion of the appointed truce; and
as the Austrian army is now prepared to
encounter him on the plains of Lombardy
or on the Upper Pc, the result of such a
collision would probably have an irresistible
effect on the French Government.
Unless, therefore, an influential party in
the Austrian Government be predetermined
to renew the war, relying upon support with
which we are not fully acquainted, the time
demands and policy urges prompt settle
men of the question in dispute. Never was
a more important decision required of a
Government, and in comparison with the
enormous interests liable to be affected by
a hostile determination, the particular a.
mount Of concessions TO be granted to q
small portion of indefensible Italian territory
subsidies INTO supreme insigniGcance. The
honor of the Austrian arms has been vipdi-
Gated by most brilliant termination Of the
campaign the authority of the Austrian
Generals has been restored even in Milan !;
and nothing would now become them more
than to adhere to the terms they themselves
were not long ago disposed to offer, and to
sacrifice all minor considerations to wise
and pacific policy, which cannot be aban-
doned without injury to Europe and danger
to themselves.
The armistice signed at Milan was to expire

UNFAIR DEALING. - Our attention has
been called to the gross imposition praclls-
ed upon Farmers by some of the buyers of
wheat and other grain in the city of Balti-
more Grain, it is known, is disposed Of
bv samples taken from the vessels in which
j, is shipped to Baltimore. These samples
are drawn from the bulk Of the parcels. and
in large majority Of cases fairly represent
the crop; and formerly it seldom occurred
that the buyer found faul, with his purchase.
Since The introduction of steam navigation
between this country and Europe, the mark
ct is constantly acknowledgement arrival
either advancing or lowering the prices Of
grain. This instability in the markets is to
a certain extent periodical to the Farmer;
but it is made more so by the conduct Of
certain buyers in Baltimore. After they have
made purchase, By the sample, 1t frequently
occurs that steamers arrives before the grain
is taken from the vessel, and, if the news be
unfavorable, the plea is made that the grain
does not correspond with the sample-that
it is tough; or some s2ecious pretext is
advanced TO justify them in throwing i, back

sell at reduced price. But if the news
prove favorable it is all well-in no in
stance has buyer been known to allow the
seller any benefit of the rise in prices. We
have heard Of cases of the most fragrant
character and they so frequently occur Of
late that it behooves the Farmer TO look
about to remedy the evil
We would suggest that the interests of
both buyer and seller might be secured bv
the appointment, of Referees, whose duty it
should be to decide between the parties
when there was disagreement about the
cargo; and let them decide whether it cor.
responded with the sample and if not, " hat

every other article carried to market is in

is respected. 1t may be urged tina, it would

Circumstances over which we had no
control, prevented US from issuing our pa
per last week. We have had an extra hand
employed for upwards of six weeks, and
during that time have missed two publica-
tons. This has been owing to sickness al
together, and not to any lack of a.ten-
lion to duty on our part. The fall season
is now SO far advanced that we hope, a,
least, not to have another apology of this
kind to make for twelve-month.
