concerned. Instead Of quarterly terns,
the scholastic year will hereafter be d.

each, at the close of which public ex-

The situation of Bona Vista is high

than any similar institution in the s,ate;)
it is confidently hoped it will continue

was quite unfavourable, as the rain fell
throughout the day, almost without in
PERMISSION. Neither Of the Candidates
for Congress addressed the people, as
was expected. The contest was re-
markedly warm one, between the two
parties; yet. we believe more so, with
the successful party. During the pro-
gress of the election "THE DEFENDER"
(as Col. LUCAS took upon himself the
privilege of styling bimself,) "or THE
RIGHTS OF THE pARTY and himself" did
frequently interfere with the Commission
ers and Sheriff, and told the by-standers
that he would SEQ FOR HIS PARTY. -
Upon this we deem comment unnecessa-
nv. As to the conduct of the Commiss-
toner's and Sheriff, they were sworn to Go

due reflection, we are inclined to believe,
such aspersions will vanish--must vanish.
