EDUCATION OF THE YOUNG. ~ The Scientific
American, referring to the fact thai children are
overtasked with school studies, says:
A New York school commissioner with leather
lungs and cast iron head, may insist that d child
who has been boxed up six hours il school shall
spend the next feur hours in study, hut it Is impos
sible to deyelope the child's INTELLECT in this way
The laws of nature are inexorabie. By dint Of
great and painful labor, the child may succeed in
repeating lot of words, like q parrot, but, with
the power of its brain all exhaustbd it ia ont Of
the question for it to really master and compre-
hend its lessons. The effect of the system is to
enfeeble the intellect even more than the body.
We never see o little girl staggering home under a
load of books, or knitting her brow over them at
or O'Clock in. the evening, without wondering
that our citizens do not arm themselves at once
with carving knives pokers, clubs, paving stones
or any weapons at hand, and chase out the man
ayers of our common schools, as they would wild
beasts, that were devouring their children. In
deed, they are worse than wild beasts, for those
destroy only the body, but these fends consume
both body and mind of the helpless innocents who
fall into their clutches.
In Boston, the system of studying out Of school
has been prohibited in relation 10 the girls, and
we should be reoiced to see this city take the lead
in extending this prohibition to dill the scholars.
We are very glad to see that the time for gymnas-
tic exercises is to be taken from The study hours
and not from those given to pllE-a Experience
having shown, says the superintendent, that
the scholars learn more when portion of the time
il given to these exercises than wien all is devoted
to study,

| 1Gr Editor-0ne long continued norther, accom-
panied by very heavy rains, has continued night
and day all this week, causing an almost entire
cessation of outdoor business. In the Sugar and
Molasses markets there have consequently been
nothing doing. The sales Of articles of American
produce since my last advices have been as
follows:
BuTTER-1O0 kegs ex Star of the West from New
York, at q rate not made public; 2 boxes glass
jars do. at $40 per quintal.
CHEEsE-2s Gheeses, ex Quaker City from New
York, at s23 per quintal.
HAMs.-l3 casks ex steamer Baltimore SIT per
qunta 20 bbls. ex Star of the West (all round) at
SIS per quintal. Small parcels of Potatoes and
Apples have been sold at rates not made public.
100 bbls Onions, ex steamer Baltimore sold, 10th
Inst, at 50 l25 each.
LARD-Is quoted in the sales on the wharf bbs.
at s22 and kegs at s21 SO per quintal
The state of the weather renders it impossible for
me to go out to make enquiries, and this must be
my excuse for the imperfect report. Mercy only
knows how I shall get this letter on board the
steamer unless there should chance to be lull for
half an hour.
