ease Il pFesens itself there is "indammatOry" and
recommends "smsll bleedngs, repeated every day, by
cutting or small pieces Of the tail and pairing the ears
or in pace Of the ears, searifg the mouth"

studies; net because of the want of any appreci-
alton of the value of the study, but from an idea
that the proper illustrations and chemical experi>
ments could not be had, without too great ex>
pense and trouble to render its pursuit practices
bic in our school. But after hearing the class ex-
amined under the management of Mr.. Stone, and
observing the admirable method and abbreviated
arrangements adopted in the process OF the CONS
bination of the various elements to produce par
lticularIsat or chemical compound, his pre]udlces
all gave way, and he is now ready to advocate It's
permanence in the regular course, as one OF the
most valuable and practicable ofstudies for every
pupil to become thoroughly instructed in, in our
common schools. This study, which was the
mystery ofthe ancients, is destined to become the
pastime of the modern .chool boy; and the her.
culean powers of Sulphuric acid to become the
servant and co,worker of man in the progress OF
the race.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon this
class. They seemed thoroughly versed in its ele>
mentary principles. as we'll as in its practicable
combinations and venture to say, for no mons
ey would they relinqush the insight they have
acquired, through its aid into the mysterious com
DlnatlOnS OF nature WHICH ever y"ueLS suilOUh"0
them, and which this study tends to elucdate and
explain
The class in Botany under the tuition Of Mrs.
Stone, acquitted themselves wi tn credit, consid~
ering the short time they had been engaged in 1t.
No one not acquainted with its nomenclature can
conceive of the tax upon the memory to become
4amiliarized with the Latin names of plants: and
their various species and varieties. The great
wonder was, that in the time engaged the class had
achieved so much.
To young lady fond of nature in all its varied
aspects, from the "cedar of Lebanon" to the
"hyssop upon the wall this study must have
peculiar charms nor is it beneath the attention
of any person whatever may be his calling in lie ;
the sma Hest peta, upon the punest plant may
teach the Hottest mind that there more things
in Heaven and in earth than are dreamed of IN
