Prftetii-al Knowledge. 
A celebrated Greek Philosopher, on being 
asked what young men most needed to be instruct¬ 
ed in, replied, “ Teach them those things which they 
wiR have to practice when they tjecomc men. There 
is sound wisdom in this advice, and it i6 well 
worthy the thoughtful consideration of every 
person. Hie question may be asked, “Where 
can such instruction be acquired?” Business 
Colleges have hitherto sought to afford this de¬ 
sideratum, but they have thus far generally 
failed in Imparting the necessary fitndamcnlal 
knowledge to those who have not already ac¬ 
quired a passable English education; and also in 
making their curriculum of study sufficiently 
comprehensive 1.1 include all the branches requi¬ 
site to qualify young men to occupy any station 
in life which they may be called upon tu till. 
Messrs. H. C, & L. L. Williams, proprietors of 
the Jtochesttr Business University , have taken a 
step in the right direction in advance of other 
Business Colleges, and have remedied this defect 
by introducing, In addition to u thorough course 
in Book-keeping, Penmanship, Telegraphing, 
Commercial Law, Commercial Arithmetic, &c., 
an elementary and progressive course in English, 
Classical and Scientific Studies. This, we be¬ 
lieve, is the only institution in this country that 
has made this important improvement, and the 
only one as yet which affords complete facilities 
for a thorough and practical education. We there- 
fore recommend it to every young man who 
desires to fit himself for a sphere of usefulness, 
honor and emolument.

Bells. — At least one of the manufactur¬ 
ing interests of our locality is prospering, not 
withstanding the general dullness of trade. 
Messrs. E. A. & G. R. Meuecly, of the West 
Troy (N. Y.) Bell Foundry, report a positive 
increase of orders over last year, the larger por¬ 
tion of which comes from the Churches, Acade¬ 
mies and the Factories of the growing West. 
Beside, the supply of our own country’, they 
have a very considerable demand from the Brit¬ 
ish provinces, the East and West Indies, the 
Sandwich Islands, South America and other for¬ 
eign countries, which, together with the fact of 
having been established over forty years, explains 
why one house should do so large a business in 
a brauch of manufacture so comparatively limited. 
Messrs. Meueely’s illustrated catalogue is a book 
of over fifty pages, and contains much informa¬ 
tion respecting bells and tlieir history which is 
of general interest .—Troy Daily Times.
