DANGER OF FRIGnTEsING cnILpnEs.-It
Is a matter of course, that no mother will allow
amy ignorant or supersttious person to have &C
cess 70 her child who will frighten It with goblin
stories, or threats of the " old black man." She
might as well throw up her charge at once, and
leave off thinking of household education alto
Qether, as permit her child to be exposed to such
maddening inhumanity as this. The instances
are not few of idiocy and even death from ter
ror 50 caused Harriet ifariineau.

INDIAN RAvAGEs on THE RIO GRASDg.-
A letter in the Tribune, dated at Brownsville,
Texas, May 10, represents our population on the
Texan frontier, as well as the Mexican, to be
suffering from the incursions Of the Camanche
Indians They seem to discriminate between
the Americans and the Mexicans-scldom doing
more than rob the former, while they do not hes
itate to murder the latter. They have robbed
many ranches, carrying off women and children.
The Americans are so scattered that they cannot
protect themselves, and no military force is in
their neighborhood. They have, therefore. pc
titioncd the President for protection, and il Is
said that corps Of dragons vii be Immediately
despatched, with instructions iopnrsrc the -syH-
gcs until captured or annihiated.
