The Trustees of this Institution, have the
pleasure Of announcing TO the public, and par
ticularly to the friends of education, that they
have engaged IRA B. NEWMAN, as Superinten-
dent and Principal of their Academy.
The Trustees invite the attention of parents
and guardians wbo have children to send from
home, to this Institution. They are fitting up
the building in the first style, and its location
from its retired nature is peculiarly favorable
for boarding school. 1t commands beauti-
ful view of the Delaware river, near which it
is situated, and the surrounding scenery such
as the lover of nature will admire-it is easily
accessible the Easton and Milford Stages pass
it daily, and only miles distant from the latter
place, and more salubrious section of coun-
try can nowhere be found. No fears need be
entertained that pupils will contract pernicious
habits, or be seduced into vicious company---it
is removed from all places of resort and those
inducements to neglect their studies that are
furnished in large towns and villages.

Academy Mr. Daniel w. Dingman, IT. will
take several boarders, his house is very conve-
nient and students will there be under the inn
mediate care of the Principal, whose reputa-
ton, department and guardianship over his pu-
pills, afford the best security for their proper
conduct, that the Trustees can give or parents
and guardians demand
The course of instruction will be thorough
adapted to the age of the pupil and the time
he designs to spend in literary pursuits. Young
men may qualify themselves for entering upon
the study of the learned professions or for an
advanced stand at College for mercantile pur-
suits, for teaching or the business of common
life, useful will be preferred to ornamental stud
les, nevertheless so much of the latter attended
to as the advanced stages of the pupils educa-
ton will admit. The male and female depart
ment will be under the immediate superintend-
dence of the Principal, aided by competent
male or female Assistant. Lessons in music
will be given TO young ladies on the Piano
Forte at the boarding house of the principal, by

THE PRosPEcT IN MIssouRI.---The ST. Lou
is Bulletin says 1--WE conyersed with gen.
leman yesterday, who had been travelling
through the Western part of the State, and he
assures us that great changes are taking place
in favor of General Harrison Indeed, every
one who has been into the interior of the State
tells US the same thing and there are many
who now believe that proper energy will give
us Missouri. Our informant says that it is
probable that Mr.. Ryland, the late receiver OF
public money at Lexington" has announced
himself by this time candidate for Congress.
Many of the Van Buren party are indignant at
the shameful manner in which he has been tfea-
ted; and hundreds Of them will vote for him.
The people are tired of such tyrannical dicta-
lion, and are startled at the doctrine that we
must submit to the will and doings of the admin
istration without petition or remonstrance."

North 9th ST., accidentally met in on

and just below the region of the heart;
besides one or two other wounds less
serious. Apprehensions were felt for

A WONDERFUL CLocK.-A clock
maker of Vienne, whose name is Ma
this Ratzenhofer, has constructed a
clock of which the following descrip-
ton is given:
It's dial plate which is fourteen in
ches in diameter, has In the centre the
dial for Vienna, and around and ra-
dating from it seven-two cities of diff
ferent parts Of the world, each within
its own dial and the name of the place.
1t shows the difference of mean time
between Vienna and the seventy-two
other towns, and is set in motion by
a fourpound weight only; all the 9th
er clocks however, are put in motion
from the centre of the Vienna clock,
so that if the work stand still nothing
more is necessary than to set the Vi
emma clock to make all the other
clocks indicate the true time
