Well done, Colonel; will you let us
look at it few minutes?
We learn that the house Of DR.. Allen,
late President Of Bowdoin College, Bruins
wick, Me-, together with the out buildings,
were recently consumed by FIRE; supposed
to be the work Of an incendiary, as it was
unoccupied at the time-Dr. Allen having
moved to Northampton, Mass.

Examination at the Franklin Female
Academy.-There was public examina-
ton on Thursday last Of the pupils of Mrs.
Rose, in the branches Of Music, Painting,
Composition, &c; which does much credit
10 the above named lady. II was evident,
even to those who have not had the opTpor-
tuniiy of attending any Of her previous
examinations, that her scholars made
great progress in their respective studies
during the last session, by their prompt
answers to any of the questions PROFOUND
ed; and by the specimens of painting and
composition which were handed round for
inspection. Her music scholars, on the
Piano Forte, played with ease and accu-
racy; and after little practice will be-
come profcients. Every one appeared
pleased with Mrs. Roses system Of teach.
ing, and with the progress of her school.
We are happy IN having the opportunity
of recommending Mrs. Rose to an enlight-
ened community, and hope that at the
commencement of her next session, which
will be on the eighth of July, that she
may receive the liberal patronage which
she merits.
Inconsisteni.- the Southern Sun of
the fourth inst. we find the following very,
very consistent N remarks. 1t does not
hesitate to come out in bold terms and say
that the Democratic party are set Of
/" thieves" rogues," corruptors of pub.
lie morals" "hypocri,es," (" intriguers,"
&c. &c. &c, and that Gall good men
should unite in an effort to reform the
abuses which surround u.s." There is
where we agree with them; we believe If
/" all good men should unite in an effort to
reform the abuses which surround us,'' that
we should see not small number Of long
faces in the Wing ranks. And as regards
to "such deleterious examples Gas the
Democratic party seD must necessarily
have upon the rising generations" why, it
must be very bad indeed; for they are the
unyielding advocates Of free suffrage and
equal rights. On the other hand, what
salutary affect the example Of the Wings
would hare, had they the power to show it;
even the founders Of that party were not
deficient in setting an example TO g ris-
ing generations" when they convened in
convention at Hartford, for the purpose Of
inducing the northern states TO remain
under the British government, and let the
southern states prosecute the war as they
could. As for 6 training up and educating
vrtuous and honest successors, to main
tain and defend the liberties and blessings
which we hope to bequeath them,'' we
say Amen, with all our heart; but we do
not wish TO have it done in the manner the
Sun seems 10 advocate, and as we have
frequently seen it done by Wing mother,
when she heard her little son with his
play-felows hurraing for Jackson, call
him in, punish him severely, and tell him
that il should be repeated if she ever heard
him hurra for any one except Daniel
Webster. Perhaps the Sun might call
this woman "patriot and christian, who
loved her country and desired the diffusion
Of virtue and pieiy."
If our country is governed by such no.
table ssthieves," "intriguers" and ssrogues'
as is here represented, how is It possible
for SO many honest, upright, pure, and
moral Wings to have come on the stage Of
