Notwithstanding the large sale of reserved seats for the Carring, ton entertainment tomorrow (Tuesday) evening, there will be room provided for the children of the schools, and any of our young folks will get a better lesson in the history of their own country, than they can get from books almost in a life time. No parent in Rensselaer should fail to have their children attend.
