FIRE.-On Friday last, barn containing
400 bushels of oats, 100 of rye, besides other
grain, the property Of Mr.. Jacob Fclty, of
Buckingham, Bucks County, was destroyed
by fire. Thirty tons of hay shared the same
fate. We learn from an eye witness, that
some persons were burning cornstalks at
no great distance, and a child, wishing "to
wards the field in which the burners were
engaged, with a lighted splinter. and unfor-
tunately approached so nigh to the stackyard
as to fire stack, from which the flames
we're communicated to the barn. The de-
struction was so rapid as to prevent the re-
moval of horse and COW from the stable,
both of which persisted. Patriot.

Newark academy.

The Trustees of this institution are happy to
inform the public, that considerable repairs in the
building will be made before the commencement
of another Session, in orderto accommodate a
greater number of Students A separate room
will be fitted up for a Mathematical and English
department, of which an able Teacher will be
selected to take the charge. Both the Mathemati-
cal and Classical departments will thus enjoy su-
perior advantages. The price of Tuition is re.
duccd to 90 dollars and Boarding, Washing and
Mcrtrling may be obtained for from 80 to $500.
To see that the morals of the pupils are attended
to at their boarding g-houses, Committee of the
Board will be appointed to visit them from time
to time.
The long established reputation of this Semina-
ry, the popularity of its Principal, the salubrty
and pleasantness of the place, the excellence OF
its socieU, and the many respectable families in
which lhe students can be accommodated with
board in the very neighbourhood of the Acade-
nv, recommend it to parents as very eligible
nursery for their children.
The Summer Session will commence on Mon
day the 18th of May.

For the Wilrningtonian.

There are certain private companies or
societies in our goodly Borough, who'make
it chief part of their occupation to devise
and circulate such reports 3as may be best
suited to their interests. OF these the
match-makers or marriage-reportersa are by
no means the least formidable; circum-
stance not surprising, when we consider that
this Junto is composed chiefly of Ladies!
If gentleman be seen walking in company
with lady, it is rumoured that they are in
love.-It seen again, it becomes the town
talk, that they twain are soon to become
one.-If they are riding together, the matter
is beyond a doubt
Some time since, was told that Mr.. O.
and Miss K, (don't puzzle yourselves,
LADIES' were votaries at the altar of Hy-
men. Being an intimate friend of Mr.. O.,
| I resolved to acquaint him with few disa-
greeable traits the character of the lady,
which had fallen under my notice. After
expatating upon the subject of matrimony,
mentioned the object of my visit, and
without giving him time to say afword in
reply, wound up by advising him not to
make a connexion with Miss K. "Do
YOU intend to insult me % exclaimed my
frend-"I have no acquaintance with Miss
&" NY confusion at this unexpected
piece of information, may be better imag-
ined than described. After spending half
an hour in making apologies, made myself
scarce, happy in escaping safely, and deter
mined never again to put confidence in re-
ports of marriage engagements
| This is but solitary instance of the mis-
chief arising from this cause. Many more
might be adduced if requisite. But it is
hoped that this will suffice to caution others,
in age, in which there is no mean observed
between credulity and scepticism.
| There is another class of mischiee-makers,
who make practice of ffabricanns secrets.
and cntrusting them to spch persons as
they are convinced will give them publicity.
But, perhaps, these will claim my attention
at more convenient time.

For Tie IVilmiagionian.

Who would believe that to lowly wales,
And humble howrets grief would come;
Or that hight and gentle summer gales,
Would scar the leaf they breathed upon!
Yet such my tale:-In lonely shade,
Which Art had passed unnoticed by;
Where the with'ring sunbeam could not fade
The sheltered gems of azure dye.
There bending low to the sweeping blast,
Or fosterd in the Suns warm ray,
A piolePs early spring was past,
Till June had charm'd the clouds away.
With incense breath, and with buoyant heart,
She, smiling, hail'd the genial sun;
Nor knew, poor fower that she soon must part
With joys and sunshine scarce begun.
In her modest robe Of constant blue,
The careless eye no charm could trace;
But the Poets heart, to feeling true,
Prz'd dearly each retiring grace.
A Wandering Zephyr, would whisper low,
How bright the dew-drop gem she wore;
And oft returning he fann'd the glow,
Ofpurc, true love by Aatt'rinG more.
Why did she believe him, simple flower!
| For oft the rover lov'd before;
The Lily and Rose were wood for an hour
! And could she dream he'd love her more.
lie lightly whispered, "my perfum'd Love,
go fairer plant to WOO;
Who'd lowy stoop, that could soar above
'Mong scented flowers Of brilliant hue"
She folded her leaves in silent woe,
And meekly breathed her last farewell!
Oh who that had seen their loves first glow,
Could blame the tear that softly fell.
There was none to soothe her lonely grief,
And none her wayward fate to tell
But plying Sylphs have told how brief
! yiolet's life, that loved too well.
