Mr. SnoOden:-Your correspondent "Pickled
Fish, is hereby informed, that Bellhavsn" is
about home. ''Citizen'' can, If he pleases, an
swer for himself. Do you suppose that gentle.
man meant to banter us-to ridicule Us in his
short essay? or did he oaIy mean to draw US Gut
again? II the first, he ought to know that the
subject is too serious for ridicule. Whoever de-
sres and attempts to benefit his fellow creatures
deserves to be encouraged, even if he fails in &C.
compishing his purpose; nay, even If his plan
should not be the best. Now know that my
motive in writing what you have published was
simply TO benefit ay townsmen: 90 one has shown
that the adoption Of my plan would not benefit
them: and here am willing to rest for the pre-
sent. shall not intrude myself further on them
now. Blu, will say, that, while live, shall
be ready to CO operate with them in in any mca.
sures designed to add to the beauty and prospe-
rity Of the Town. as far as my means will admit.
I claim the privilege Of an old man, in taking
lerve Of my compeers, to say to them all, that
the rapid flight Of time, and the awful progress
Of the wasting pestilrnce IN other places, admo-
nishes US to be ready also. Let us give ourselves
to prayer aud serious preparation. For no man
is fully prepared to enjoy this world until he is
prepared to leave it. BELLHAVEN.

Mr.. Snowden.-I was present, few days
since. at an examination Of the School under the
superintendent Of Mr.. JONES. and cannot avoid
expressing. thus publicly. the great pleasure en-
jnyed on that occasion. The young ladies evinc-
ed an intimate acquaintance with the various
branches upon which they were examined. CUES.
tions connected with some Of the most difficult
subjects embraced in course Of female educa-
ton. were propounded, nearly all Of which were
answered With promptness and accuracy that
have seldom heard equalled, and never excelled.
The whole exhibition was honorable to the
young ladies themselves. and reflected much ere.
dit upon the ability and industry Of the instruct.
