the Federal vessels fired on him, and
after doing him some damage, apol-
gizcd, but he would not accept the apollo

Of the many educational enterprises which
have been introduced in this country, there is
none which at present occupies q more prom
inent position than that of Messrs. Bryant &
Stratton, in establishing their chain of Mer-
camille Colleges. Step by step this scheme
of education has been developed by the most
untiring energy, until it has become at once
the most extensive and perfected system
known at the present day The course of
instruction pursued IN them, through the
agency and skill of the great number of
of teachers employed, has been brought to a
wonderful state of utility,-such as was tho't
to be uuattainable by any means, save long
and laborious apprenticeship.
While the present unfortunate state of the
country has, been disastrous to all the educa-
tional enterprises of the country, we are
pleased to know that these Colleges have
been well sustained, and that the one located
in this city is receiving most liberal patron
age.-Bufalo Christian Advocate.
