MIR. EDITOR In the town where resided, ir lo2, ttree apprentices desirous of improving them selves in the study of English Grammar met during the winter on Saturday evenings this being the on iy evening their masters would spare them for the purpose of mentally assisting each other in the stu dy After the time for working evenings had pass ed, they conceived the plan of forming society fol mental Improvement, and admit all such as were de- slrous of spending their leisure in acquiring some tnlng useful. In short time they could number F or IA who met from two to three times a week. The meeting were conducted in that way which would produce the greatest amount of benefit in all con. cerned. Wishing to extend their usefulness still further in the fall of l827 they concluded to estab llsh an evening school on the principle of mental in. structon. An application was made to the commit tee for the use of one of the public school-rooms which was granted. They employed a competent
 instructor as general superintendent, and appointed from among the members of the society three moni-
 tor generals to take charge of the three departments
 into which they divided the several branches to be taught. The school commenced at six o'clock one hour was appropriated to the study of arithmetic the school was all classed and each class under the direction of an assistant monitor, and such as atten- ded to algebra and the higher branches of mathe- matlcs were attended to by the superintendent At seven o'clock the states were put up and the whole school passed into the hands of the monitor general Of writing. Writing books and pens were distribu- ted, and one hour spent in writing then the writing books were collected, and the monitor general of grammar took command. Those who did not attend to the branch that was regularly going on received such attention from the superintendent and others as could be conveniently given them Book keep ing by double and single entry with great many studies useful to men of business, were attended to- The school was kept six months, or two terms, at an expense of one dollar and half term for each scholar, including stationery. Nothing more was charged than enough to pay the superintendent lights, and stationery. The number that attended was over one hundred each term Schools upon a similar principle have been kept every season since at which not only apprentices but some masters have attended and acknowledged much benefit from them And, if am not mistaken, femtes as wei. as males have attended, and Lectures have been delivered by gentlemen of scientific attainments.
 Every one who belonged to this society at its commencement is now carrying on business for hlmselt and has respectable standing in society Is not this encouraging to young men to follow the example?

CURIOUS DIsCovERY.-In 1884, subterranean Indian village was discovered in Nacooche valley, Tn Georgia, by gold miners, while excavating ca- nal for the purpose of washing gold. The depth to winch It was covered varies from seven to nine feet; some of the houses are mbedded in stratum of rich aurterous gravel. They are thirty -four in num- Der, built of logs from six to ten inches in diameter and from ten to twelve feet in length. The walls are from three to six feet in height, forming con- tinuous line or street of three hundred feet The logs are hewed and notched as at the present day. The land beneath which they are found, was cover- ed at Its first settlement by the whites, with heavy growth ot timber, denotng the great antiquity of those buildings, and powerful cause which sub- merged them. Cane baskets and fragments or earth en ware were found in the rooms. The houses are situated from fifty to one hundred yards iron. the principal channel of the creek. A great number of curious specimens of workmanship have been found in situations which preclude the possibility of their having been moved for more than a thousand years; among these, half crucble, of the capacity of near ly gallon, ten feet below the surface, and nme- dlatey beneath large oak tree which measured i've feet in diameter, and must have been 400 or 500 years old. The soil is duvial, or what may be termed table land The stratum of quartz gravel in which the vessel was mbedded, is about two feet in
 Chooo, leotiliS OH ueCOlnpOSeu CnlOrlte slate. It IS not difficult to account for the depose of those substances in an auvial soil for the hills are gener- ally very high and precipitous, and from the im- mense quantity of rain which falls, the streams are swollen to great height, sweeping every thing with them, and frequently forming deposite of sey- eral 1eet Tn thickness In season. A vessel resen- bling double mortar was found in Dube's Creek, about five inches in daE.eer and the excavation on each side nearly an inch in depth, basin-like, per- tecty polished. It was made of quartz which had been semi-transparent but had become stained with iron which abounds in quantities all over the coun- try. In the bottom of each basin was a small de- presson half an inch in depth and about the same in diameter. What Its use could have been is diff cult to conjecture. The high finish and its exact dimensions, induce the belief it is the production of amore civilized people than the present race of h. dians
