Family school FOR Rows.

In our paper Of to-day will be found an adj
vertisement under this head. 1t is located at
Prattsyille, Greene county, New York, in the
vicinity of the CatskilI Mountains-a region
celebrated for its health, and the beauty of its
natural scenery; and those acquainted with
the cultivation of youthful minds, are aware
of the Importance of outward impressions, and
Of the benefits arising out of striking and
beautiful rural scenery, where the instructions
Of youth are being impaired to them. The
person through whom we receive this adveF-
tisement is q gentleman of New Orleans, and
one of high standing and integrity; and we
are assured by him, that, in this school (where
he himself was partly educated,) there are no
sectional feelings, prejudices, or opinions, en-
tertained or practised; that it is thoroughly
and eminently conservative and national in its
systems and diseiplines; and that the Rector.
Rev. D. G. WRIGHT, is a gentleman of the
Purest and most estimable qualities. of great
experience as a Teacher, and of the finest
mind and a~ttainments.
From the character thus furnished US of the
Rev. Mr.. WRIGHT and his school, we feel con.
scious that Southern parents and guardians
could not find a better school at the North, at
which to place their sons and wards. There are,
every year, more or less sent from this vicinity.
and within the compass of our circulation, to
be educated at Northern schools and UNIVERSE
ties, we trust that those who may see the adj
vertisement alluded to in our paper, and who
contemplate sending their sons to some distant
school, will give it the attention which it SO
justly merits.

The Garrote.-A correspondent of the
New York Mirror, being in Havana, in
spected the garrote, and thus describes il:
1t is the most complete thing | ever saw, for
choking q man. IL is attached to a piece of
timber about three feet long, half foot wide,
and two inches in thickness; one end of this
piece of wood is so shaped as to fit in a whole
in a solid flooring, and the criminal is placed
in front of the upright post, on q seat made
something like a piano stool; his legs are
pinned to the sides of the stool, and his arms
are tied behind him; bis head is then placed
between two iron prorgs, made so as to fit on
the back Of the neck; directly under these are
two other pieces of iron, about an inch square,
a little over a foot in length, and perfectly
smooth; these pieces pass through the post,
and are moved with great rapidly and pres
clsion along the sides of the neck, by the action
of a screw, which passes through an iron plate
that nnites with the ends behind the post the
screw is turned by an iron bar, about three
feet long, that fits on the end of it; a piece of
iron about as large round as your finger, is
attached to the outer ends. This completes
the apparatus; and, by a turn of the screw,
the side pieces are drawn in, pressing the
front piece against the throat, so as to break
the neck almost Instantly.

&- Er
u Forney, the editor Of the Pennsplpanian,
and the chief fugleman of the Buchanan wing
ofthe Anti~American party, says If Buchanan
be nominated by the Cincinnati Convention,
the Sag-Niehts will carry Pennsylvania, but any
other candidate, it is a doubt, a hope, a risk. !"
This is a candid admission, hut Forney has
not told the whole truth. Before next Mo-
Vember the Sag-Nichts will find they have
nothing better than a doubt, a hope, a risk, in
undertaking to carry any State in favor Of
the nominee Of the Cincinnati Convention!
The very name is enough, Of itself, to defeat
q candidate for the Presidency. The nominee
of the Cincinn1tf Convention! An elector in
> Southern State would be laughed at, and
ought to be laughed at by the people for ask
ing them to vote for the nominee of the Gin
ciitrlati Observation-Disclosures Journal.
