 years 1871 and 187*2, hereby testify that Mr. Donald McCaig wiis 
 employed by us a.s Principal of the Berlin Central School, for the term 
 of about eight months, when he resigned his position ft)r the more 
 lucrative one of Principal of the (Jalt Central School. While Principal 
 of the Berlin Central School Mr. McCaig discharged his duties to the 
 satisfaction of his employers, who received his resignation with regret. 
 We have much pleasure in testifying to Mr. McCaig's ability and

 justice to this gentleman to state that duiiiifj; his brief residence ainoiif,'

 ho came in contact. Mr. McCaig is a gentleman of culture, and 
 possesso-? in a high degree <iualitio8 which render him an eminently 
 successful teacher. We feel confident that his success in (Jalt will 
 be marked with the same success which has attended his i)revious 
 Jabors as an instructor of youth. We need hardly add that Mr. 
 Mc^aig carries with him the good wishes of this community for his 
 future prosperity.

 LITERARY NOTICES. 
 
 * * * We Imvf tu oonm^atiilute tliu author on tli.! aMIity lii- Iiuh

 unii in nuiotini^ on hiH own ^jround, and 80 fully imswrrinj,' the m^w' 
 nientH of so ucionipliahed a h.yiciun as .lolin Stuart Mill. It wan in 
 deed a hazardous undertaking for a young a\ithor like Mr. McCaig to 
 nieasure lancen with tliu great uietajihysieian, hnt after a caiefid eon 
 sideiation of the (|Ue8tion as j.resented in Mr. Mill.i hook, and Mr. 
 McCaig's answer, we are hound to say that the latter, in (.ur opinion, 
 has the best of the argument. He has approacluid the suhjeet only 
 after a thorough investigation, and from the |)reuu8ea wlii( h he care"- 
 fully lays down lie follows with a mass of arginiient and tvidenee 
 whicli no candid mind can resist. The eriticisni is searching and 
 severe, hut it i<i never uncourteons. It is more e(-mi)rehensive tiian 
 Mr. Mill's work, and widens towards the close to the great princiiiles 
 underlying the whole (inestion, which are very ahly handled, in Ian 
 •,'nage well chosen and vigorous, (liiflph Mfrviiri/. 
 
 " This reply is from :iir anonymous hut able pen, and makes a 
 strong answer to the specious phih)sopher, and most thoroughly ex 
 poses his sophisms, his contradictions, his unwarranted assumptions, 
 his broad conclusions from narrowest premises, his seeming ignorance 
 of hnmaji nature, his overlooking of the real caiises of woman's woes 
 and indication of imaginary causes, his loosening of all moral ties in 
 society, his defiance of all history and experience, and his boundless 
 egotism and self-assurance. A calm consideration of the views here 
 advanced would surely make many of the well meaning but rash 
 enthusiasts in the " VV(jman's Rights ' movement i)anse on the tluv.sh- 
 hold of the attempt to revolutionize the family and the state, nnd 
 shrink back from the sad but cortaiii consequences which would follow 
 upon its HUCCX1BH." -Vli iciif/o Ailravrc. 
 
 An andnyinous author here furnishes the alternw partem to Mr. 
 Mill, with a cogency and breadth of. judgment that cannot fail to com- 
 mand respectful consideration. Ho states Mr. Mill's case quite fully 
 in the first hundred pages, with accompanying criticism, and then i.io- 
 ceeds to join issue. He notices the singularity that Dr. Bnshnell 
 should be taking one side of the argument at the instant when Mr. 
 Mill was elaborately presenting the other, and regrets that Mr. Mills 
 essay .should be of a nature to find its first friends in those most 
 anxious to set all law and morals at defiance. He conunenis, too, on 
 the fact that the rational legislation advised cannot free itself from' the 
 hold of feeling and attection, and the extravagant method of reform 
 advocated. The investigation of Mr. Mill's argument is pursued in a 
 sharp and remorseless manner along its whole current, until the claim 
 of equality is itaelf eon.sidcrcd, when all the argumeut.-i are accumu- 
 lated against it, and it is alleged that women would gain nothing by

 A ruuly to.Jnlm Stewart Mill on the Subjoction of Women attempts 
 to prove by n-usoninn wliat Hie olemler for household altars and tires 
 has tried to (h. by sentiment, lie brings forward little that is new on 
 is subject, l)Ut employs the ordinary arguments with considerable 
 ill, and will, we think) convince all but those obstinately wedded to 
 other side that " their fathers were not nil tyrants, nor their 
 laves.'' Ciiii-iiiiinli (lii:i'llr. 
 
 " The writer earnestly encounters Mr. Mill, and, undaunted by his 
 .'.eat name, presents a well -considered and well-arranged statement of 
 the conservative side of the .juestioii, whose settlement, as modern 
 reformers desire, would, in the judgment of many, only give a greater 
 degree of restlessness, and political immorality and excitement, to a 
 people whose besetting sins already go too far in this direction. All 
 who do not believe that iheir fathers were all tyrants and their mothers 
 all slaves, should read this hook. " Clinrle/ifnii I S. r.) (hiirier. 
 
 " This is a volume without a hint at its authorship, a table of con- 
 tents or an index. We confess to a prejudice against it, but upon 
 perusal it proves to he a very able, candid, and convincing argument. 
 Uev. Ur. Hushnell was expected to expose the fallacies of female 
 suH'iage, but his arrow fell far short of the mark. The unknown 
 essayist has done very much better. There is real solid argument in 
 this little book, and not the unreiwoniiig cant tliat too often palms 
 itself otlfor logic. Without going into the details of the subject, we 
 may say that this volume presents the woman (piestion in all its phases 
 more justly than any other the agitation for female sutl'rage has called 
 i>\it."—CliirU(/(, F.veninij Jnuriml. 
 
 " The unknown author of this reply, whom we suspect is a strong- 
 minded layman, has discussed this great social problem with great 
 thoroughness iuul ability. Those who feel interested in the j.rojected 
 social reform, cannot tind a book in which the fallacies of Woman's 
 Rights, from Mill down to Miss Walker, are so fully exi>oBed, as in 
 this reply. It is the best book on the side against Mill. And no one 
 can rise from reading it witlu>ut the conviction that ' our fathers were 
 not all tyrants, nor our mothers all .slaves.' ' l'hil<i(Iel/ilila Lufhernu
