Tho late Mrs. ANN NELSON, of this county, by
her last will and testament devised $4,000, to
Trustees, for the benevolent purpose offounding
a Boarding School for the instruction of young
ladies in all the branches of female education to
be called the HANNAH MOORE ACADEMY.
1t was the wish of its pious founder that the pu
pills of this seminary, in addition to the instruc-
ton which they are to receive in all hosebranch
es of education usually taught in the most re-
spectacle boarding schools, should be continu-
ally placed under the best moral and religious
influences A part of Mrs. Nelson's munifcent
legacy has been expended in the erection of a
handsome and commodious edihce, (about four
teen miles from this city. on the Reisterstown
Turnpike, a healthy and beautiful situation;)and
the Improvement Of the grounds thereto belong
ing. We are informed that the establishments
now completed, and that-the Trustees of the
Academy have elected Mrs. GERTRUDE HoYT, of
New York, a lady of high reputation as an ex-
perienced teacher to be the Principa and that
the institution will be opened for the reception of
pupils about the middle of October.
We feel virtuous pride in this noble exhibit
ton of zeal in the cause of female education on
the part of daughter of Maryland, and hope
that the institution which her benefcence has
founded, will contribute to elevate still more
highly the intellectual and moral character of
her sex.-BdH. GAG.

VIRGINIA WINE.
From the Richmond Enquirer.

From the Richmond Enquirer.
We are happy to see the attention which has
been paid to the culture ofthe Grape in the Wei
nifty OF Richmond. We have already noticed
the exertions of Mr.. John Carter-the various
grapes which he has cultivated and the wines
he has made.
We have also been much gratifed lately by
a visit to Mr.. William Anderson's vineyard. 1t
is enriched by variety Of vines, foreign and
domestic. The Cdtawba, the Isabella, and the
Schuylkil particularly, flourish in great perfec-
ton; and the vines are this season loaded with
the most delicious fruit. Hewill probably make
three or four pipes of wine.
We have been happy to visit the vineyard of
Dr. Norton, and to taste his wines. Among the
various specimens of the vine, to which he has
directed his attention, we saw the Catawba, the
Isabella, the North Carolina Scuppernong, but
especially the Norton's Virginia Seeding"
which seems to us to possess some very 1ne qua
lties. We understand it has been produced by
his impregnatng the Bland grape flower with
the poilon of the genuine Burgundy grape. The
new fruit has the advantage of uniting the abun-
dant saccharine character OF the burgundy win
the never-failing productiveness OF the Bland.
The vine is great bearer and when the irut
is pressed, it produces rich, luscious VINE,
which resembles the Burgundy Madeira The
Doctor was also kind enough to show us his
wines that had been extracted from the Cataw-
ba and the Isabella, both of which are very
agreeable But, as the three varieties are the
produce of the last vintage, they of course want
the benefit of age to impart to them all their eX-
cellence. These wines are the pure juice ofthe
grape, unaduIterated with any foreign spirit
The fermentation which they have passed
through, has produced alcohol enough to pre-
serve them in their strength and purity.
The Doctor has also in his vineyard fine
reddish grape, native of Prince Edward,
which he has brought into notice. 1t promises
to do we'll
The experiment Of DR.. Norton, of impregnat-
ing one grape with the pollen of another, and of
raising a new vine from the seed, and then en-
grating the slips on the wild vine, opens field
of discovery to the vine dresser, to which no
perceptible bounds can be assigned. 1t may
lead to some of the finest varieties, both for the
use of the table and for the making Of wine.
We confess we were sceptics before, about the
art of making good Virginia wine. We are so
no longer; and we congratulate our enterpris-
ing neighbors on the results which their expert
ments are calculated to produce.

."Unto him who hath loved US, and gave him

How hath he loved us, Ask the star
That on its wonderous mission sped,
Hung trembling DER that manger scene,
Where he, the Eternal, bowed his head.
He, who of earth doth seal the doom,
Found i'm her lowest inn, no room.
Judea's mountains lift your voice;
With legends of the Saviour irauSh';
Speak, faVor'd Olivet, so OFT
AT midnight's pTayerful season sought;
And Cedron's brook, whose ripping wave
FREQUENT his weary feet did lave.
How hath he loved US? Ask the band
That fed his woes with GREATNESS haste;
As the weak friends denial tone,
Scarce by his btterest tears effaced;
Ask of the traitors kiss and see
What Jesus has endured for thee.
Ask of Gethsemane, whose dews
Shrank from that moisture strangely red,
Which in that unwatch'd hour OF pain,
His agonizing temples shed!
The scourge, the thorn, whose anguish sore,
Like the unanswering lamb he bore.
How hath he loved us? Ask the cross,
The Roman spear, the shrouded sky,
Ask of the sheeted dead, who burst
Their cerements at his fearful cry.
Oh, ask no more; but bow thy pride,
And Weld thy heart TO him who died
