FOR THE WATcHMAw.


Mr.. Editor Having recently had occasion to pass
through the village of Newark so deservedly cele-
braed Tor its Academy, neainess OF its appearance
and hospitality of its Inhabitants you cannot readily
conceive my astonishment on my near approach to
it to find the and foot paths rendered nearly
imperyous by the accumulation of mud | Ielt
ashamed and mortified that this ancient and respect.

guished men Of our country, oil whom not small
number are indebted for their education. and conse-
IqUenty the high and useful ranks they severaly
hold in society, and which Of late has become more
notorious by strong and laudable effort made by
The friends OF learning to get law enacted 20 erect
and endow college within its precints which they

from the hostility oil its adversaries of whom there

Idigresson | said felt ashamed and mortified that
the inhabitants OF beautiful little village which
in the spring and summer seasons presents such
tasteful appearance, and never falling to arrest the
attention and excite the admiration OF the passing
traveller should be regardless about the retention
oil that reputation which their Academy has acquir-
LED tor them and which their many anlabe qualities
have assisted them in preserving. l am told that
it is not unusual for the ladies of whom it may not
be improper 10 remark, that their are many in the
!
ones too, to have pair of oxen yoked up ard put in
cart TO be conveyed TO the residence OF one of their
neghbors, the foot paths rendering the walking out
lot the question without you wish to get " ANGLE
deep or deeper;" and gig is liable to overset FRI
the number Of deep holes and ruts with which it
abounds. Thus these beautiful ard fascinating crea~
tures the objects of our enderest affection and war;
NEST admiration, must either have recourse to the
above mentioned mode OF conveyance or sit by their
mothers fire side all the winter, Wishing for spring
and good walking. In order to put stop 10 this
evil so justly complained of, the citizens Of the VIII
lage in conjunction with those Of the neighbo hood
should call general meeting, the ostsnsible object
lof which should be to devise some ways and means
to improve the foot paths and street, the individual
lexpense which would be triaing when taking into
consideration the vast convenience and comfort res
sulting from it; and have no doubt but many per-
sohs living without lis envrons would cheeriully
contribute mite towards such an improvement TO
la village whose social and literary character brings
into association many pleasing recoections. 4.

Joint meeting for the purpose of electng United

ture and prevent the performance of duty which
all the members bound by their oaths to perform,
will length their error, and enter cheeriuIly
