STOP TIE ROBBERS!
400 REWARDl

THE subscriber returning from
Baltimore, was wayaid by two ruff.
ans, sbout7 O'Clock, on Friday evening
he 10Th inst. near the Hanging Rock,
on the North Western Turnpike Road,
about two miles below the Tavern Of
Col. Charles Blue, and after knocking
me off my horse and one holding me
by the throat, they succeeded in taking
from me my pocket book containing
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS
-Thirty.nine Fifty Dollar Bills on
the Bank of the United States, payable
at Baltimore, and the balance of the
money was in small Notes on different
Banks, but principally Valley money.
have no recollection of the appear
ance or dress of these villains !; but am
inclined to the opinion that they must
have been the same persons who were
seen passing house by female, about
half mile from the place where this
hellish deed was committed, fifteen or
twenty minutes prior to my passing.
She describes the dress of these two
individuals es having on--one Blue
Frock Coat and pantaloons, and the
other Blue Close.bodied Coat and
pantaloons. The same individuals
we're noticed by others residing below
along the turnpike road during tina,
day, and concur in the opinion as to
dress as described-an and from inquiry,
| have not been able TO hear of any
such men having passed above where
this truly unfortunate-yet fiendish
act, was perpetrated. 1 am therefore
inclined to the opinion that those per-
sons were the robbers. One of them,
| understand, carried small bundle
Their weapons were green chestnut
clubs, Is they were found on the next
morning at the place. The above re.
ward will be given for the apprehension
ofthe villains, as also, suitable CON-
pensa.ion for recovery Of the money,
or any portion oft.

THE BONA VISTA
ACADEMY.

NHlS Institution consisting OF
male and female department I'M
der the management OF the Rev.
W. ~ Scott, and Miss e. C. Colt,
will commence its summer session on
the llth Of May next. A slight varia.
ton in the former arrangement and
terms of the school has been found me-
cessary to the convenience of those
concerned. Instead ofquarterly terms,
the scholastic year will hereafter be di.
vided into two sessions of five months
each, at the close of which public ex.
aminations will be held on all the stu.
dies of the session. All pupils from
distance can be accommodated, and
will be expected 10 board with the
Principal, excepting such, as have con-
nexions in the neighborhood, with
whom more accommodating arrange>
ments can be made.
The strictest attention will be paid
to the health and morals of all connect.
ed with this Institution. The price for
Board and tuition including washing,
fuel, candles and lodging, will be $44
per session. For tuition alone Sc per
session. Such as study the languages,
Mathematics and other higher bran.
ches, and also such as attend 10 needle
work, Painting and Drawing, will be
charged So per session, payable at the
close of each term. A deduction of
So so per session will be made in the
board of those from the neighborhood
who may find it convenientto have their
washing done at home, and to return
thi.her every Friday evening, but for
occasional absence NO deduction will be
made, except in cases of sickness. A
pupil may enter at any period of the
session, and for as short time as he
pleases, and will only be charged from
the time he enters until the time he
wi,hdraws. And yet Tor the convent.
ence of CHASING it is very desirable that
all should be present at the commence
ment of the session.
The situation of Bona Vista is high
and healthy, and the water fine (; the
neighborhood is respectable and the
society good and considering the low
rates of board and tuition, (being as is
supposed, at least 20 per cent cheaper
than any similar institution in the state,
it is confidently hoped it will continue
to prosper.
