A curious Fact.

The crocodile, in feeding on the bank Of the
Nile, or baskng in the sun, is very much an.
noyed by wha, Herodi,us calls bdella. The in-
side of his mouth is lined with them. All birds,
one alone excepted, fly from the crocodile but
that bird, the tr0chiloS, on the contrary, flies TO
him with eagerness, and renders him a great
service for every time that the crocodile lands
to rest himself, and streches himself out with o.
pen jaws, the trochilos enters his month, which
it ceares of the bdella il finds there. The croc-
odile is grateful, and never does any injury to
this liule bird, from which he receives so good
an Office. This was until recently discrediled
as fiction of Aristotle and Pliny, but regent in
quiries establish the fact. The term bds7ld does
not signify leech, as was supposed, bu, kind
of gnat, myriads of which insects swarm on
the banks of The Nile. These insects strike
their trunks into the ori6ces which abound in
the mouth Of the crocodile and the tongue of
the crocodile being immoyeable, he cannot get
rid of them. 1t is then that the trochiIos, kind
Of little ring plover, which pursuss the gnats,
every where, hastens TO his relief and dislodges
his troublesome enemies and that, without any
danger to itself; the crocodile always taking
care when he is about to shut his mouth, TO mske
certain movements which warns the bird TO fly
away.

At National Convention OF the Friends of Ed
ucation, held at Philadelphia, on the 18th, 18th
and 10th of October last, the following Resolutions
were unanimously adopted
First That this Convention will meet in the
CITY of Philadelphia, on the Fourth Wednesday
in August, A. ID. 1850.
Second That in the judgment of this Con-
vention, the Friends of Education in all its de-
partmens ought to be enlisted in its deliberations.
and that in issuing notices, an address for the
next annual meeting, the invitation should be SO
framed as to comprehend both those interested in
Common Schools, and those connected with Col
leges, Academies and other institutions.
Third. That the President of this Convention
be requested 10 prepare, on this principle, short
address, to be published by the Committee at least
three months before the next meeting, urging the
attendance ofthe Friends of Education throughout
the country"
The time having arrived, at which the duty pre-
scribed in the foregoing Resolutions must be per-
formed, the subscriber respectfully presents him.
self before the public, and solcits, for few mo-
ments, the favor of their attention.
Although the Convention from which the FORE
going Resolutions emanated was composed of the
Friends Of Common Schools, yet it is expressly
REQUIRED that s'the invitation be so framed as to
comprehend both those interested in Common
Schools. and those connected with Colleges, Acad-
emies and other Institutions"
This comprehensive invitation was liberal and
wise. 1t proposes to unite ALL Teachers OF youth
in one cooperative effort The different periods
and degrees of education so meet and flow into
each other, that they are hardly susceptible OF be-
ing even theoretically separated From the first
form in the Primary School to the hges class in the
University, there is perfect continuity OF pro-
press. No break, no chasm, no change of identl-
ty, interrupts the course. The succeeding grows
from the preceding. as the oak of hundred
years has grown from the germ that cleft the a.
corn or as the bird that scars undazzled towards
the meridian sun, has grown from the eagiet Just
chipping its shell. Hence, the President OF Col-
lege and the Teacher of Primary School, though
standing far apart stand in the most intimate re-
lation to each other. Without the labors OF the
latter, the former would have no material on
which his processes could be performed; and with

Some men have very inquisiiivs minds.
For instance, fellow who had norhing else

made her appearance, asked her "whsre her
mistress gos that new bonnet she wore, as he
wished TO buy his wife one just like IT,"

500 chests !"
Be dad, and sure know tha, sis go on
with it,"
The merchants snickered, and the auction
eer grinned no more bids were made aud down
come the ,ea 800 chests.
"The name, sir !"
Peter Finn"
"Where is your house, Finn I"
Me house 7"
Yes, your place of business"
{" Ne house and faith have no house Its
two rooms and cellar have in waiher-slreel,
and me place of business is round here on the
wharf,"
Your endorser's name, If you please I"
Stephen Ge-rad sir !"
This dubious declaration produced another
stretch of the phizzes of the merchants, and the
auctioneer in great doubt put up another lot of
FIVE hundred chests. Down it went to Peter
Finn And so likewise wenl the third. When
the sale was concluded, the merchants glded
of, believing the auctionesr was certainly
"sold" man. But on presenting the bills and
notes of Peter Finn al the desk of Stephen
Girad, the old fellow eashed them on sight.
The sales came 10 nearly 100000 the tea
was much wanted in the market, and Peter
got rare bargains, and before noon next day, re-
ceived $4,000 bonus for his bid on the cargo
OF tea
The cargo was soon transferred. Girard in
demnifed and the poor drayman found himself
with snug little fortune in his fob.

Coronation Election,

A meeting was held at the court house on Thurs
day evening by the friends of temperance for the
purpose of consulting together in reference to the
right course to be pursued at the approaching
corporation election. There seems to be gene.
raj agreement as to the fact that a vast majority
ofour people are friendly to the cause of temper
ance, but rs t. refusing tn give licenses to liquor
sellers, there is less agreement. since the expert.
ment Of the past year has not had the effect to di-
minish the number of liquor establishments in the
place. to lessen the quantity ofliquor sold. The
predominant sentiment at the meeting seemed to
he. that if we must have the grog shops, let us
have all the money out Of them for the public
use we can get. We have no time to stop to ar.
que that point bit We are decidedly averse to
handling fund drawn through SO pouteda chan.
mel However, We may all have full chance to
talk the matter over this evening at the court
house. to which time and place, the meeting on
