A Prodigy Miss Ella Bowditch
"A Word of Advice.
The following sensational item
4 from tba Ciroinroti Cazo4ta.

The following sensational item
, is from the Cincinnati Gazette:
A correspondent informs us of young
musical and cloeutionary prodigy, who is
about TO start out through the country Civ
ing entertainments. Her name is Ella
Bowditeh, She is but six years old took
a very prominent part in concert given
recently by T. Z. Shotwell the blind mu.
sical instructor, and was most yociferously
applauded by an audience Of thousand
people. LAstspnng she gave, entirely by
herself, an entertainment over an hour in
length, consisting of select readings, reel
tations, songs, ETC.. failing throughout the
whole in not even a single word. Our cor
respondent tells that she will. this winter,
in all probability, visit Cincinnati. W,
shall be glad to see her; but in all sincer.
ty, we have a word of advice TO offer 10
those whe have charge Of the child.
If Miss Elias talent is extraordinary as
our correspondent represents, then il
is abnormal and unnatural, and the result
of disease. The child's brain is in a fever,
a state of inflammation; and this, unless
in some.way counteracted will as ineyita-
bly, lead to her early death, as any case is
followed by its appropriate effect. To en-
courage her to such exertions as giving
public entertainments, is to aggravate the
cause, increase the inflammation, consume
her brain more rapidly, and bring on more
speedily delirium and death. The parents
of the child are to be congratulated upon
her evident possession Of ability; but we
should no more think of congratulating
them upon this premature and unnatural
development of it, than upon any other
disaster that might befall hei.
No, no; do not take little Ella round the
country at all. Donot stimulated her burn.
ing brain to further exerton. Do not fan
the fire which is consuming her. Let her
stay at home. Direct her attention to 9TH !
er things than music, and recitations, and
'eadings. Encourage her to laugh and
'omp and play, Let her be much in the {
open air. Convince her that there is more ,
merit in the skipping rope than in the
tation book. If she sing at all, let it not S
)e the formal songs studied from note, and
earned by piano, but such music as the
birds sing, such as may swell up natural /
y from her fresh young throat. Thus she
nay be snatched from disease and death, l
nd grow up eventually into noble spec.
men of beautiful and intelligent woman

This is the little "Songstres and
llocutionist'' who will perform at
lly's Hall, Wednesday evening,
Jov. 9th. Her guardian has been
ssociated with children for a quar- y
er of century, and entertains a O
ifferent opinion from that of the :

Prof. d. A. Morse will give a
Lecture, entitled "UMTY OF THE Hu-
MAN RAoF," at Bloomingburg, dur
ing the month of November; the
origin of the Race it's unity in a
Physical and Moral point Of view;
the influence of climate, habit, anat-
omical characteristics, varieties of
languages, mental culture, &c, will
be discussed.
The views presented in the works
of Agaasiz, Albinus, Mott and Gid
don, (varteieS dams pespece ha-
matae) Cabanis, Camper, Cavier
Morton, Morel, &c, &c, will be
critically examined.
This subject of late has invited
much attention. Much has been
taught concerning the influence of
climate, mental or intellectual de-
velopment, and the relations of the
races to each other, that is not the
result of observation or research.
The Lecture will be of great in
terest to the reading community,
rs few have time or opportunity to
master the literature of the subject,
we're it accessible to them.
The time fixed will be announced {

week, We are invited to hear the 9
Doctor, and hope to be able to at t
end. Knowing his reputation and $
we shall expect something r
