influence Of newspaper on the minds
of a family of children, writes 10 the ed.
itor ofthe OgdeDsburg Sentinel as fol-
lows:
81 have found it 10 be the universal
fact, without exception, that those schol-
ars Of both sexes, and all ages who have
had acces to newspapers at home, when
compared with those who have not,
are:
/. Better readers, exccllng in pronun-
citation and consequently read more un'
derstandingIy.
2. They are better spoilers, and de.
fine words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge
Of geography in almost half The time il
requeres others, as the newspaper has
made them familiar with the location Of
the most important places, nations, their
government and doings, on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians, for,
having become so familiar with every
variety intthe newspaper, from the com
monplace advertisement TO the finished
and classical, oraton Of the statesman,
they more readily comprehend the mean
ing of text, and consequently aEalyze its
construction with accuracy.

haps, not before in print--that the city Of
Lamasco, which Is now made part Of Ev-
ansville, derived its name from Messrs. Law,
Mason and Scott, its founders I; the first por-
ton of each name being taken, and each
combined forms La-ma-sco. This fact finds
parallel in the history Of a town in New
York. In an early day two families-one
from the Yankee States, and the other from
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in Yates county, and
the location Of q town on or near their farms.
led to a fierce controversy rs to which should
have the honor Of comforting the name. AZ
