Over-Education.

A correspondent to the London Spectator referring to Sir John Lubbock's experiments in teaching dogs to read, expresses a fexir lest the finer feelings and subtler perfections of the "friend of •man”-Tniay be injured by “over-edu-cation.” This probably was the sentiment of the old gentleman, whose son incited the bull-pup to fasten its teeth in the venerable parent’s noge and then exhorted the sufferes to “bear it as long as he could,” on the ground that it would “be the making of the pup.”New York Tribune.
