perhaps unnecessary for US to say to
those who are indebted to us, that the
punctual payment Of their dues, howev-
or small the amount, would be very ac-
ceptable at this time. Our expenses are
large and increasing, and it is only by
the collection of the numerous small bills
which fall due to us, that we are enabled
to meet those expenses. We confident
ly hope, therefore, that our friends will
think of US, and bear in remembrance
that the prompt iulfilment Of their eng age
ments is Immediately and absolutely con-
nected with the continuance and useful
ness Of this journal
Our subscription list during the past
year, we are happy to state, has been
very considerably augmented, as may
be seen by reference to our books
These gratifying proofs that the course
we have pursued has met the approba-
ton Of our patrons, we hope vii! be fol-
lowed by much greater accession to
our numbers during the eventlul year
upon which we are now entering.
kTOur terms are So in advance, or

who feel disposed and can conveniently

IN doing SO at the present time.

JR. PlERPoINT's SEMINARY

WILL be re-opened on the first day of Sep
w TENDER next In this Institution will be
taught besides the nsua! branches, the Latin,
Greek, and French Languages, the Mathema-
tics, Natural Philosophy, Drawing &c.
The Classical Department will be under the
special care Of P. j. McLAUoHLrN, gentleman
Of high literary attainments. OF unexcrptonable
moral character, and who has had considerable
experience in the instruction Of youth.
In this Institution the Explanatory Mode of
Instruction is pursued; which is based upon the
obvious principle, that abstract terms and def.
nitons are less Ineligible and pleasing 10 chill
dren than real objects; and that the instruction
which is given entirely in words, can never be
so interesting and profitable. as that which is
communicated with the aid of visible and tang-
BILE things. BY thus explaining and illustrating
the subjects Of study before the students ell
ter upon them, they are well understood, and
their progress is thereby facilitated and much
increased.
The Proprietor is decidedly of the opinion
that youth are more easily led than driven in
the paths of science, and that order, in general,
is more effectuay secured by system Of mo-
raj. than physical discipline
This Institution continues to be well support
engagements have been made for the accommo-
dation of an additional number of students.
The Proprietor hopes that no exerions on his
part, or on that of his assistants, will be neglect
ed, that will tend to the moral and intellectual
improvement of his students.

Election Anecdote-It is known to most of our
readers, that Moore, in his recent contest against
principles and Letcher, in Kentucky, contrived
to obtain about 500 illegal votes for himself
but, with all that, he is beaten. We have heard
an anecdote relative to the election, which we
think worth repeating.
Nearly three hundred Jackson men Of Wash
ington County, anxious to lend hand to
Moore, though they did not belong to his dis
trict, took horse and carriage and rode over to
Mercer county, in Moore and Letcher's district
fording a creek, at that time nearly dry. While
they were busy voting, as they could get an OPP
portunity, for Moore, there came up heavy
tempest, and the rain fell in torrents. The con-
sequence was that the stream which they had
forded in the morning, was swollen so as to be-
come an impossible torrent, and the migrating
voters were compelled to abide until The next
day, when, on reaching their own voting pre-
cinct, they found the poll closed, and Wing
elected by small majority. which quarter
Of their number would have turned the other
way. This was an Improbable expedition.
