In the state of Ohio they have a law (I know not if it exist elsewhere), that if a father strike his son, he shall pay a fine of ten dollars for every such offence.

I was told by a gentleman of Cincinnati, that he had seen this fine inflicted there, at the requisition of a boy of twelve years of age, whose father, he proved, had struck him for lying.

Such a law, they say, generates a spirit of freedom.

What else may it generate?
Mr.Ibbertson, who seems perfectly devoted, heart and head to the subject, told me that he was employed in organizing successive schools that should receive the pupils as they advanced in age.

If he prove himself as capable of completing education, as he appears to be of beginning it, his institution will be a very valuable one.
