EXTRAORDINARY MEMoRY.-Our friend
Roswell MARSH, Esq, of this city, in an
address recently delivered before the Teach
ers' Institute at Cadiz, on the Science Of
Geography, relates the following very re-
markable instance of extraordinary men,
ory:-
II once knew lad of some ten years of
age, who was placed under the care of a
private teacher to study Geography. For
this purpose Morse's Universal G Geography,
in two octave volumes Of some 700 pages
each, was placed in his hands, and he walk
ed two miles and back again daily, with
one of these formidable tones about him,
to attend his teacher. Under his direc-
tion he committed the contents of those
volumes to memory so perfectly as to be
able to correct confidently any one who
misread word in his hearing. His mem.
ory became SO cultivated that he often com.
mitted forty pages in day."

The Concerts heretofore given at the
