DEFERRED ARTICLES.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


 There is wight answering to the name or ! Daniels, who is editor of the Camden D. Y: J Journal, and who is one of the most incorr1g1- ble wags breathing. He has an amiable fen- chant for the burlesque; and he lndulgea IL to excess on a recent visit ot Mrs koyai' Ill his region. She was, according to her own account. welcomed into the town, with accla- nations, by Daniels and his compeers. ne following description of their solemn and me- lancholy parting,i is from that sombrous tqme' '.7Ne Black Book" The separation ot Dido from Eneas-of Pyramus from Ihisoe, or Falconer's sailor-boy from his mistress on the banks of the Thames, are here all out done' Here the venerable amant describes the hcart-rendinp scene in her own eloquent Ian guape! It is enough, as Kentuckian would express it, ssto make an owl shed tears ot blood"
 "At length the trying time arrived, when had to part with friends, dear to me as lie. My bill was paid by the City Council; and on the third day, after dinner, my friends ga- thered round me to take leave: my heart was pained to the core--thc thought of being sever- ed from souls of such feeling and worth, was bitter indeed! could have expired amongst them.-We pressed hands in silence and l stepped into the stage! Imagine my feelings, upon receiving parting address on behalf of the town, delivered by the amiable and &C., complished Daniels. The citizens, with hats off, in deadly silence listened. The pathos, the eloquence, the depth af feeling, the warm sensibility, the touching strains in which the speaker portrayed the qualities and services of my deceased husband-the delicacy of terms in which he alluded to mysclf-the pleasure of my visit, and my arduous pursuits -entwined our hearts in the most indissolu- ble friendship. Tears dropped from several, and overpowered by my feelings, I wayedmy hand in silence, and the stage moved off!"

TRAvELLER'S REST,
 AND SUMMER RETREAT.

AT THE SIGN OF THE RISING SUN, TUSCALOOSA. TEy HE proprietor of the CITY-HOTEL
 Fl returns his sincere thanks to his former customers, and solcits a continuance of their favors also requests the public, generally, to give his house trial, and although he may have no spirits for sale, he would not be un- derstood thereby to prohibit those favoring him with their patronage from the use thereof, or from keeping their rooms supplied with them honest and obligng servants will al- ways be at hand to execute any commands which the wants or comfort of guests may re- quire. This establishment and servants be- ing the property of the subscriber, he ex- poets to continue the business permanently, (unlcss an opportunity to sell should offer), and being pleasantly located in the centre of business, and in it's construction one of the most convenient, its advantages arc 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 propriety invite persons who wish to find healthful retreat, to spend the summer with us. We have a Mineral Spring, two miles from 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 plea sant home, as it has suits of apartments in entire private situations for the accommoda- tion of families, with private tables to such as prefer them. The proprietor hopes his ex- ertion to please will render his house plea sant 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 proyender, and attended by ho- nest, industrious, ead skilful ostlers, with a convenient tot for droves, Slc.
 Notwithstanding my expectation to be per- manent in the business, owing to the conhne- ment, &c., am disposed to sell cut the es- tablishment, but the business being pro6ta- 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 bu- siness, attached to which is very fine water proof cellar. -
 As do not propose selling for the purpose of raising money particularly, I will extend the credit to great length of time-the mo ney being well secured, and the interest paid annually.
 also, have several tracts of land, and some lots in this place, which l would sell on very extensive credits. JOHN MEEK.

SCIENCE.

HvHE Jefferson Academy, at Elyton, un- k der the Superintendance of C. G. Me PETERSON, A. B. has commenced its second session, with the most fiattering prospects. Although in its infancy, such is the confidence the public entertain of the fitness and qualifi- 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. g........6 % English Grammar, Geography, Arith-
 metic, Stc. .......,............... % Languages and other higher branches..12 co 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- tion principally to the students engaged in the higher branches.
 A 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 it's incipient pros- perity, the trustees feel justified in recom- mending it to the patronage of all persons wishing to educate their children.
