JAMES G. BENNETT ESQ.,
DEAR SIR -
Bright and lovely Spring is again upon us, in all
her radiant beauty The warblers are in the midst
of their annual concerts, and the ladies' spinning
stree-yarn Jack Frost with his chilling blast, and
icy bridge, is vetoed land, IN lieu, we have the
mud and soothing land breeze, with the occasional
Boo-o-, Boo-o- of high-pressure steamers as
they boom in and out Of the bay. Thus wags the
world with us, Time, that old grave digger,
passes us along to his great ccmetery-Eternity.
Financial matters have not changed materially
since my last, except that "Crackee money is
growing quite plentfu--thc Erie Bank having made
arrangements to issue $35O,OO of it, and is now

made few days since to cry it down in Pittsburg
for what reason know not, except that some of our
merchants had gone there with large amounts TO ex-
change it for eastern drafts. The young monster

the line complete from here to Beaver, on the

would be the most profitable Improvement in the
State, it being the shortest, and most direct rout
from Western New York and the Canadas, to the
Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The coal itself would

Amongst the other acquisitions to our place,

attached to it. has been rented and fitted Up with
every convenience and comfort, for that purpose.
The Rev. VIM. Fuller and Lady are the principles.
whose qualifications are of the first water. SO, if
any of your friends wish their daughters instructed
in the essentials well as fashionable accomplish
ments, now is the time and this is the place. No
visagcd trustees have the general supervision.
