INFORMATION WANTED,

EDWARD w. PAnRIsH, the son of B. l.. Par
rish, of this place, left home about the middle OF
July last, in company with several boys. After
an absence of short time, the most of the boys
returned; but Edward w. Parrish and, perhaps,
two others, did not. Edward W. Parish was
heard of in GAINESVILLE, Va and afterwards in
Milton, n c. Since his being in Milton, nothing
has been heard of him. His parents have great
anxiety on his account, and they would be very
thankful for any information in relation to him.
He has no trade, except that he has worked
some little at the Shoemaking business. lie is
fond of music, and plays on the tamborne and
perhaps, some other instruments. lie joined the
company, no doubt, for the purpose of aiding
them in getting their living by their musical per-
iormances.
He is about u years of age and toerably we'll
grown; light hair; blue eyes; some freckled; large
nose. In form he is quite round shouldered-

1t is pleasing to witness the more enlightened aud eX
banded views of education which now urged by the
press npon the attention Of teachers, parents and pupils
Education is now regarded in its true light being de
signed to deveope the whole man-his moral intelect-
al and physical powers The latter have been mos,
grossly neglected in most Of schools and colleges, and
that period OF life when exercise and air st
necessary, and confinement most injurious. Ambitions
yonng men, too, inclined 10 think that they have no
time TO spare from their b oks for Physical exercise
This is great mistake as many have found In their sor-
row in after life, when the body enfeeed by the seden-
tay habits Of youth, gave way under the powerful ener-
giles Of the mind.
We extract the following sensible remarks on another
neglected branch of The subject Of education, from the n.
Y. Commercial Advertiser:

entirely neglected in the American system of education
Far from ii. Ii has always leen The pride Of this
try that It's Institutions OF learning have admitted Of no
oulfages upon morality, such have proverbally dis
graced the collegiate Institutions of the oher country
Whatever else may have been lacking here, the outward
observance of personal poprptes has always been strictly
enforced But think that more than ever high stan
dad OF morals Is nculcated upon youth spt glng
from religious Considerations and obligations. And we
would here say that this is the only safe foundation of
what we understand by moral education. 1t must be
grounded upon religious pnc lies. Nothing short of this

OF youth are necessarily exposed in their intercourse with
