A few of the Cincinnati mechanics are on the

The stock breeders and feeders of South western
Ohio-of Warren, Greene, Clarke, Clinton, High
land, Ross, Pickaway, and Franklin, have some
very superior full blooded stock on the grounds,
which our Yankee brethren will find hard to beat.
Our friend Melindy is there with his Dorkies and
Shunghies, determined not to be out-crowded by
the natives.
The Democrat says:
'sBcng OH the north border of the State, remote
from the Scoto Valley the region long looked upon
as the head quarters for the growing of fine stock.
especially Durham Cattle; it was anticipated that
this department of the exhibition, (he Short Horn)
would be small. In place of them it was expected
that Devons would be largely represented. By an
investigation of the following notes, in which we
propose a hasty examination of stock, following
the arrangement observed in the premium list, it
will be observed, that Notwithstanding the impress
sons to the contrary, the Short Horn Durhams are
more generally sought after, and bred on the trough
of Northern Ohio than any other breed.
Breeders in Southern Ohio freed in greater num-
bers, being men of large means, making liberal ex
pendtures having greater for stock. are more

Female Education.

We wish that our space would admit of our in
serting entire most valuable essay OF the late
Sydney Smith upon this subject, so little appreciat-
ed in our community. Welsay appreciated, be-
cause, although there are but few parents who will
not admit the necessity and paramount importance
gilmore thorough female education, yet, the number
is comparatively small of those who act upon their
convictions. Amid the numerous sms and errors,
with which our country is racked and threatened,
we know of no more benfcent and effective pal
liative and ultimate corrective, than that held out
by the effort to improve and expand the female
mind. We need not here attempt to establish the
fact that woman's influence exists and that it is
extensive. All will admit that it commences with
our birth and terminates, but when the fleeting
breath ofme has taken its departure; that 1t Is an
influence ever acting and ever present; that 1t di-
reefs too often the motives and controls the actions
fmen, in every department and relation of life,
in greater or less degree; and such being its
power, we must at once perceive how much that
influence may be improved and practicalized, by
enlaIging alike the head and the heat of its pos
SCISSOR, by full and practical education. We shall
not now enter into an examination of the present
system of female education, orinstitute compare
son between what il is and what 1t should be, nor
shall we now pause to institute comparison be-
tween the jabbering Miss of modern education,
who can perhaps lisp out HP arleZ-youS FTancaiS!'
and warbie, in the tortured tones ofjarring harmo
ny, an Italian twitter, and who is entirely ignorant
of all that constitutes substantial and general in
formation, who can courtesy, but cannot think who
can laugh at miserable pun or "dou6ie enfendre,"
or whirl in the sensual waltz, but who hardly
knows that the world reyolves round his axis, and
who is ignorant of the composition and designs of
the commonest of natures structures, who knows
not herself, except that she must love, and is as
ignorant OF what rational and elevated love is, as
she is of heIsef-with the really accomplished and
educated lady, who takes and holds her place a.
mong her associates, not by thepower of family or
fortune, not by the force of arrogant assumption;
but who feels and knows that she is and should be
respected, because of he.realm and substantial
attaimnents.l That would be foreign to our pre-
sent purpose, which is merely to introduce the
conclusion of the able essayito which We have al /
luded. .It- va. sral ..g ,.e lrJaiasai!1 bEE Jg
''In short TO recapitulate the main points upon
which we have insisted:-Why the disproportionE
in knowledge between the two sexes should be SO

be layished upon trifles, when nature has made it
capable of higher and better things;-we profess
ourselves not able to understand. The alIectatioi

Coop POSTAGE ARRANGEMENr.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Commercial writes:
The cheap postage system has been much pre-
JUDGED by the difficulty of pre- paying postage on
letters one cannot always go in person or send
another to pre- pay his letters. 1t would be hun
dredf fold increase of tie postage tax to do this
Stamps were, therefore, prepared and sold by the
post-oificcs. But these proved useless, because
they were Enthusiastically ;-many have been deter
red from using them by the fact that some of them
will slip of as fast as put on.
+, have myself noticed many instances wherein a
messenger, taking bag of letters to the city post
Office finds, there, that the stamps have disappear
ed from the letters.
Congress has provided an excellent remedy for
this evil. Some one moved an amendment to the
post route bill that meets this case and in spite Of
the committee, it prevailed, and is now law
The Post Office Department is to cause envelopes
to be made, with suitable water marks on the pa
per, identifying them as official and with painted
stamp, for single double postage, with suitable
device. These envelopes are to be sold at all the
postoffices, at the price of the stamps now sold,-
with the very small addition of the actual cost of
the envelopes. afauaF. ..l
