SCIENCE.

YWyHE Jefferson Academy, at Elyton, un- A der the Superntendance of C. G. Me PETERSON, A. B. has commenced it's second session, with the most hattering prospects. Although in its infancy, such is the confidence the public entertain of the fitness and qualfi- cations of the conductors of this institution, that it now numbers between fifty and sixty students, of which about twenty are engaged in the Latin and Greek languages.
 TERMS PER SESSION OF FIVE MONTHS. For spelling, reading and writing. ........6 % English Grammar, Geography, Arith- Languages and other higher branches. .12 % Board can be had at respectable houses at from six to eight dollars per month.
 The Trustees have employed the Rev JOHN WILLIAMS as an assistant teacher, which enables MT MCPHERsoN to devote his atten- ton principally to the students engaged in the higher branches.
 strict course of moral department is ob- servable in this institution, with strong de- sire to make each student thorough in what he may learn; and from its healthy situation, the cheapness of board, and its incipient pros perity, the trustees feel justified in recom- mendng it to the patronage of all persons wishing to educate their children.
 By order of the board,

This establishment and servants be- ing the property of the subscriber, he ex- poets to continue the business permanently, | (unless an opportunity to sell should offer), and being pleasantly located in the centre of business, and in its construction one of the most convenient, its advantages are surpassed by no other house in the city. The rooms are large and well ventilated, which render them very pleasant and healthy in summer, and very convenient at all times. The un- paralleled health of our city and surrounding country, having for years been so good, that we can with great proprlety invite persons who wish to find healthful retreat, to spend | the summer with us. We have d Mineral Spring, two miles rom the city, to which ma ny have resorted during the two last summers, who all speak highly of its benefits to their health. To such this house would be q plea sant home,. as it has suits of apartments in entire private situations for the accommoda ton of families, with private tables to such as prefer them. The. proprietor hopes his ex ertion to please will render his house plea sapt residence to such as favor him with their patronage.
 To this establishment belongs very exten- sive stables, which will always be stored with the best of provendcr, and attended by ho- nest, industrious, and skilful ostlers, with a convenincnr lot for droves, SSc
 1 Notwithstanding my expectation to be per nanent in the business, owing to the confine- ment, 8lc., l am disposed to sell cut the es- tablishment, but the business being a profta- ble one, will by no means neglect the vigilant prosecution of it, because am offering to sell, | but will rather be more attentive than other wise. This establishment affords also one of the best stands for merchandise in the place, and has very fine finished rooms for that hu- sness, attached to which is very fine watre proof cellar.
 As do not propose selling for the purpose of raising money particularly, will extend the credit to great length of tine-the mo ney being well secured, and the interest paid annually.
 l.also, have several tracts of land, and some lets in this place, which would sell on very extensive credits. . JOHN MEEK

l have so repeatedly reminded my friends and the public, of the necessity of their lend- ing liberal support to the establishment, that were to continue the call--without an a. pology, ,--it would seem to carry a tone of com plaint with it. This is far from my intention; it would be treating generous and liberal public with !great iyustiee and msratitude. The support has been beyond my cXpecta- tions; but at most 1t necessarily must be in- considerable in q town of thc age and limited population of Tuscaloosa.
 believe all will admit that Book and Sta tionary establishment is an important acqui- stion to oui town, and permanent benefit to the country-and such will permit me again to remark, that its present success, until cur public institutions are further advanced, re- quiies all the support that the liberal and well wishing can bcstow D.
