P.Uie is a valuable and very (ine article, and has ^ "ext, for the purpose of organizing the corporation, &c. 

 been contined (or many years past to one estab 



lishrnent in .Albany. The Prussiale of A^h is 

 likewise a verv line article, and we believe has 

 never been used as an article lor dying in this 

 country ; luit is in very general use in England 

 and France for striking and setting colours on

 for colouring walls of rooms, and is a tine water 

 colour ; and i* sold verv low.

Pisctttnquog Canal. — Monday the I4th of November 

 next, at 2 o'clock, P. M., at Philbrick's Hall near the 

 oil mill in Weare, N. H. is appointed for a meeting of 

 all those who feel interested in obtaining the best prac- 

 ticable route for constructing a Canal to unite the wa- 

 fers of the Merrimack and Connecticut rivers. The ob- 

 ject of this meeting will be to consider the propriety of

HOWEVER incredible in may seem, actuaf and 

 well tried experiments have convinced Mr C - 

 that his 18 Lessons are abundantly sulfirient to make 

 the pupil master of the elementary print iples ol Gram- 

 mar, and enable him to analyze and resolve the most 

 dlincuit sentences with a prt cision and an accuracy, 

 rarely to be found among scholars who have been grop- 

 ing their way for years, in those " literary swamps," — 

 too often to be met with in our schools, under the im- 

 posing title of English Grammar. Wilijout wishing, 

 however to undervalue the labour of others, Mr C's 

 experience in teaching, and the encouragtnn nt he 1 as 

 received from many of the best scholars in this country, 

 induce him, with confidence.'to court investigation and 

 to invite criticism from all, — except the stupid, the dog- 

 matical, and the malevolent, 



Mr G. has siit-mitted his systtni to the examination 

 of the President and Hiolessors of Cambridgi College, 

 and to several other literary gentlemen of Roston, and 

 he is happy in hai iiig received their encouragement, 

 and approbation. — Terms. $10 — livening class $6.
