dent ticket for City Officers to sustain the com
mon schools, and oppose the encrOachments Of
the Roman Catholics in regard to them. Ali

"a few hints from perfect master, will do
more to devclope the capacity of the pupil than
the most prOtraCted lesson from an inferior
teacher" Wv. G. BRYANT.
We have frequently alluded to the long es-
tablished reputation Of the Principal Of this In
sttution, as master of the science Of accounts.
We directed the attention of our readers to the
fact Of some of his pupils having adjusted mat
ters Of account in which other professional ac-
countants had entirely failed. His eighteen
years experience as practical accountant in
an extensive eastern shipping business, and
fourteen years employment in teaching book
keeping, his long tried experience in settling
the most intricate matters Of account, and rep
utatiOn as an author, justly gives his profes.
sional reputation weight with our business
men, and even in our courts of justice, pos
sessed by no other person in the country.
The writing department in this institution is
under the direction Of gentleman who is also

When Oliver Cromwell became Pro-

he caused the stamp Of the cap of lib

restoration Of Charles H., having occa-

this government paper was brought to
him. On looking at it and discovering
this stamp, he inquired the meaning Of
it, and on being told, he said, Take
it away I'll have nothing 20 do with a

In the late edition of the U. s. Medical
Dispensatory, we are told, says the writer,
that the Rock Rose was first introduced into
regular practice by DR.. Eli Ives, Of New

all scrofulous diseases. In the same work,
it is stated that Dr. Isaac Parrish, of Phila-

in his practice for scrofulous diseases. Al.
