At meeting of the trustees Of the Alexan-
dria Academy, held on the 2lst Of Au-
gust, 1873
The foHossing address TO the citizens-of the
toSrn, 7ras adopted by the Board, and or
dcred to be published =
The trustees of the Alexandria Acade-
my, impressed in common with their tel-
low citizens with the great and lasting I'M.
portance of education, especially to peo-
pie whose fundamental principles OF gov
eminent are those of equal liberty, justice
and order, on the support Of which rest all
our republican Institutions, and from which
few public as well as private happiness,
have at different times made various efforts
10 place the Academy upon more useful
and respectable establishment, than it has
heretofore been. They have with regret
seen their well meant efforts fail, for want
of that support which all who wish well to
their beloved offspring ought to afford.
The trustees cannot continue their Ell
forts TO sustain the Academy, without other
means than those they have heretofore pos
sessed. They would therefore respectful.
" represent to their fellow citizens of the
town, the necessity there is of some effort
on their part to enable the trustees to make
such change in The house and institution,
as will render them generally useful.
The form of the house is announcement
il is in such state of decay as to be unfit
for use, and is discredt 10 the town. The
institution requires certain necessary appa-
rstus, and additional instructors. To effect
these objects, funds are necessary, which
cannot, as experience has clearly shown,
be raised sole ~ from the price OF tuition.
Its confidently believed that the trustees
in making this appeal 10 the parental feel
ings and I;berality of the citizens OF the
town, will not appeal in vain, especially
when they reflect, that by placing the Aca-
DENY in their own town on respectable
footing, they will be relieved in great
measure from the necessity of sending theft
children to distant places for instruction. at
a much greater expense than that at winch
they could be educated al home, and IN too
many instances at the very dear price oil the
loss OF their moral principles.
The law incorporating the Academy de-
clares that all persons, and their respective
heirs. who shall contribute FIVE pound, to
the use of the Academy, shall have the right
70 vote at all elections Of trustees.
Trusting that every citizen who values
the blessing of education, the good OF So
ciety, and the happiness and responsibility
Of bis children, will contribute literally TO.

NARROW ESCAPE.

A few days since, two daughters OF Ed
mund Livermore, Esq. of Brattleborough,
in attempting to cross the east branch OF
Deerfeid river, upon foot bridge, fell in.
The rapidity ofthe current was such, that it
carried them both about thirty rods, when
the Oldest. girl Of about thirteen, was
caught by her brother, lad about l5years
Of age, at the risk of his own life, and
brought TO shore. The other girl, FIVE
years Of age, was given up for some time as
lost but by The exertions OF two young
men, she was taken out Of the stream after
she had been carried down one hundred
and 81 rods. In about two or three mi
nutes, signs fife appearing, she was ia
ken TO neighboring house, put into warm
flannel, and in about three hours carried to
her fathers house apparently well. The
next day she attended school as usual.

iRISHISM.

Copy of a letter, written during the rebel
lion. by Sir Il 4 \, an Irish member
oi Parliament, to his friend in London.
Ny Dear SIR,
Ha-ing now little peace and quiet
ness, sit down to ;ntorm you oil the dread
ful hustle and confusion we are in, from
these b!ood-,hirsty rebels, most oil whom
are, however, thank God, killed and dis
persed.
We are in pretty mess---can get
nothing to eat, nor any wine to drink, ex-
cept whiskey; and when we sit down to
dinuer, we are obliged to keep both hands
armed; while write this letter, hold a
sword in one hand and pistol in the other
| concluded from the beginning this would
BE the end of il; and see was right, tor
II is not half over yet. At present there
are such goings on, that every thing is at
stand.
should have answered your letter
fortnight ago, but | only received il this
morning. Indeed, hardly mail arrives
safe without being robbed.--No longer ago
than Yesterday, the coach, with the mails
from Dublin, was robbed near this town;
the bags had been judiciously left behind,
Tor fear of accidents, and by good luck,
there was nobody in the coach, but two
outside passengers, who had nothing for
the thieves 10 take.
Last Thursday notice was given that a
gang of rebels were advancing hither, I'M
der the French standard, but they had no
colours, nor any drums, except bagplpes.
Immediately every man in the pace, nclu-
ding women anu boys, ran out to meet
them. We soon found our force much too
little, and they were lar too near 10 think
OF retrea,ing death was in every face but
to il we went, and by the time half our lit
tie party were Killed we began 10 be ali a
live. Fortunately the rebels had no guns
but pistols, cutiasses and pixies and as we
had plenty of muskets and ammunition, we
put them all to the sword; rot a soul of
them escaped, except some that were
drowned in an adjoining bog and, in
very short time nothing was 10 be heard but
silence. Their uniforms were all OF diff
ierent colours, but mostly green. After
the action we went TO rumage a sort Of
camp they lett behind them; all we found
was few pixies without heads, parcel OF
empty bottlesfu Of water, and bundle
of blank French commissions, filled up
with irishmen's names.
Troops are stationed every where round
the country, which exactly squares with my
ideas.
/ have only leisure to add that | am in
great haste.
P. 5. lfyou do no; receive this in course,
it must have miscarried; therefore | beg
you will Immediately write 10 me to let
me know OF the same.
