THE FARM AND GARDEN. I've have received the
october number of this Agricultural Magazine,
and fully concur with the editor that it is the best
number yet issued indeed, the Iarsa ana u1srden
has been increasing It's facilities for ifnparting
useful information, ever since its organization.
Starting originally as an experiment., it has be-
come a success, and as far as we know, is the only
| agricultural Journal in this State. The number
before us, beside the usual reading matter, CON
tains q number Of illustrations chat add conside-
rably to the interest Of tn, work. The subscrip-
ton price, 81 per annum, is O. mere bagatene, and
we trust that the agricultural portion OF the COM
munity will not be backward in encouraging this
enterprise. Mr.. JAMES r. JACOBS, tho cditor, is we'll

College, and is fully capable Of conducting the

THE REopENINa OF THE FREE SoHooLs.--The
first Monday in October has long been tho opening
day Of the Free Schools Of this city, and at on
early hour yesterday morning tho streets in the
vicinity OF the different schools were alive with
children anxious to recommence their studies and
to have their names registered. During the vaca.
ton the Board of Commissioners have perfected
several changes i'll tho organization of tie schools.
We have already alluded to the Morris street
School,, which has been set apart for the education
Of the colored children, and which has steadily in
creased in favor since it was organized. Fifty
additional pupils weret enrolled yesterday, making
the number registered nearly Ave hundred. This
school was opened two weeks ago, and is now in
full operation. 1t is patronized extensively by tho
colored population, and will soon equal in popu-
iarifv Tho >r;-ct~ ~~l---l ~, - ~ $500 .-...
THE NORMAL. SCHOOL. w.
has been changed into a girls grammar school,
where the higher branches Of the English language
are taught but select classes are to be formed
where pupils can obtain tho instruction that will
1T them to become teachers. About four hundred
pupils were registered yesterday, but the morning
was principally occupied in arranging the classes
and a~ccnstoming the scholars to the discipline Of
the school. The Commissioners have made ar
engagements for the accommodation Of between five
hundred and six hundred pupils, and should this
number be accepted it will neoessitate an election
Of two or moro assistant teachers. At present the
Principal, Vice Principal and five Assistants con-
stitute the corps. In arranging the building it was
found necessary to furnish new settees and other
furniture for the Assembly Hall the contract for
a portion of these was awarded to MIR. @. Al
BRIGHT, in Wentworth street, near Pitt. Notwith-
standing the comparatively short notice, these
%settoos, &C., were furnished in ample time
and reflect great cradit upon the maker.
while some articles Of school furniture that were
ordered from the North have failed to reach, the
city. The Normal, o. moro property tho High
Grammar School. is under the control Of the fol-
lowing teachers:

This school has also been refittsd, during the 9tnc2y'

nine hundred to one thousand pupiIs. About
eight hundred were registered yesterday morning,

judged that many who came with that intention
