GenHemen-S uil,r me TO trouble Won with sub.
jec, OF much importance 10 our village, and b,
winch you may probably benefit some deserving
man,
We have an excellent academy for males, ae.,
aaoihei Ion ienales-bu' a, present have no teacher
tor either Teachers have hereto beea employ ed
ny the session, or for The year, at Earliest. We
are tired nfsnci arrangements. ard wish 10 procure
permanent teachers, who VIII settle down iot ii
business.
The village contains about thousand people,
and is increasing. 1t is The county seal OF Hiuds
Of the largest and most ropul"us OF the
S,a!e The soclet, is good-rhe wafer excellent
and is as healthy as Lynchoutg, Liberty. New
Glasgow.
Either school can be opened with from forty 10
sixty scholars; but the teacher be really qualified
and derir us Of employment, the nu her OF sch lars
would equal hls wishes soon as the school became
established in character. And the teachers would
have rs many borders as they could accommodate
j" their families. The price Of tuition and Of board
IS LIBERAL not Ia say extravagaut.
We have a Methodist hurch just conn leed, and
the Cour House is also used as lace lor preaci
ing. An Episcopal or Pr.sby erIar Church would
he erected without delay, uthe regular SERVICES oil
minister could be obtained. Hence II is qune desi-
Iabe, but not indispensable, that the teacher
ante the duties of a minister TO the business of
teachng.
The the Vicksburg and Jackson railway
now run within Twelve miles Of us-aud The road 10
TINS place is under contract, 10 be tompeird by
the hisi OF November next, with forfeiture OF fifty
dollars per day for every day afterwards until It's
completion. Aud have no doubt OF the cars Iuu-
n'ng TO Raymond before that day. The road will
lurish uswIlh the river trade, free from its lusalu-
brity, aud will give stability and augmented business
and population 10 our village.
II any persons. with adequate quail fcalions. be-
disposed 10 embark in teaching as a business they
could not find more eligible spot. Bul. IN liulli,
there are a hundred similar openings in this State.
And II Is surprising ihat The graduates Of the Uni
versy and Colleges of Virginia do not turn their at
tenlion this way. No business is safer, more Ger
tam Of competency, mole credltabe, or more
useful.
Our State and currency deIlo,aby e1bar-
