New YORK, July ~, 1851.
Can you inform me whether the recent altersr
tions in the school laws, relating to this city, make
provision for the dis mssal Of any of the schools et
=. MT l am under the impression that the Law
requires the school to be kept from till 3, with
certain recesses. IL this be So is there not lack
Of faithfulness in dismissing Mt l O'Clock! Ii not
the pupil deprived Of time and instruction allotted
by law, and do not the teachers stpulate, when
gagged, to instruct six hours, instead Of four! Inds
pendent of book knowledge, our children should be
taught, by example, a strict adherence to puneeu-
atty and system, those qualities essential to suo-
cess in life; but is this plan of desuloy, contracted
instruction, subject to the whms or convenience Of
any one, calculated to procure this! Is not the
evasion Of the law, in this respect, calculated TO
produce bad moral effect upon the pupisl If
remember rightly, the citizens Of Brooklyn, year
since, seeing the perncious influence Of early dis
missal, lifted their voice against IL.
would respectfully call the attention Of the Presi-
dent ofthe Board Of Edu cation to this subject would
also request him to endeavor to ascertain, by inqU
ry, who those teachers who spend at times bat
few minutes daily in their schools, while tbs ohi
dren are expected to be present daily, under the
penalty Of expulsion. i am sa listed that nothing
but q strict and faithful supe rntendenoe on the
part Of teachers and school officers, will enable eur
schools to accomplish all that is expected Of them
II some Of the schools are permitted to dismiss
daily, at while others keep till g. will /. not
lead children to leave the latter and enter the former
schools, to the apparent injury of the latter'
PARENT.

IMPORTANT EJEcrrENr CASE AT BUFFALO, ".
I.-An ejectment case Of some importance vas tired
ut tho June term Of the supreme Court IN Buffalo.
The action was brought by the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company, TO recover possession OF one hun
bred acres OF land, elaine and occupied by Ezra
Harrington, in the town of Holland, Erie county.
The plaintiffs sho we'd title 90 tho premises by gratis
from tho state, the tito being the same that l.
known a. the "Ilolland Land Companys title, +" and
the lat conveyance being q deed from the persons
known "a the Holland Land Company 10 the plain
tifs, in 1888. Harrington gave evidence ~ show
that tho premises had been held by Jacob Earring
ton the sther Of the defendant, from the year 1871
(and by the defendant, Ezra Harrington, who sue
cecded to the posse the death OF his father.
in 1911 up to this time, adversely to the title
shown by the plaintiffs. In reply, the plaintidt
showed that Ebenezer Harrington, brother Of the
defendant, went into possession the assignee Of
contract made with the Holland Land Company, in
1911, by Sanford Porter. and that he afterwards
sold his chance, aud assigned the contract to Jacob
Harrington, who entered into possession in pur.
suance of such arrange ment between him aud his
son Eoenerer. II did not appear that anything
had ever been paid upon this contract With Porter
except ~. The defendant then insisted that the
lapee of time furnished such presumption Of pay
ment and fulflment Of the contract would war
rant the jury in finding that il had actually been
performed, and the u tie TO the land conveyed In
pursuance thereof. The Court ruled against the
defendant this point, and held that, the proof
stood, thcre was question Of fact for the JUICY,
and that the plaintiffs were entitled to verdict
