We attended yesterday an examination
of The scholars in The Female Academy OF
this place, now in charge Of The Rev. R. S.
Roberts. The examination was gratifying
indeed, aud very creditable to the young
ladies. many Of them answering the prom
iscuous questions put to them, with q
promPtness and accuracy, we did moi ex-
pect from those of their years. The exer-
cises of composition and letter writing
which he has introduced into his school we
were particularly pleased with. We are
entirely convinced of the qualifications OF
this gentleman to teach; he comes to us al
so with the highest recommendation as to
capacity and character, and we know no
reason why We should mol have as -four
ishing school here as elsewiere.-Abbe-

An Innocent Man Hung BY a Mob
Under this caption, The Paris (Mo.) Mer-
curry, narrates some curious particulars
connected with MOB law. Sonie years
since, Mr.. James Barnes, son of Mr. Aquil-
la Barnes, OF Missouri, was hung by a
mob in Arkansas. because he was suspec-
ted of having murdered The "Wright
Family" in one of the counties of thai
State. Barnes, to the very last, asserted
his innocence, but the mob was inexora
BILE and he wa, hanged by them. ltnow
appears from statements in The Van BIZ
rea (Ark.) Intelligencer, that the real
murderers' have beent found, and are in
.con6nemen, at Fayetteville. in that Stale.
There are three Of them BY the names Of
Star and Reese, and they are said TO have
frequently hoasted Of the crimes; they will
be convicted, it is said, on the testimony,
Of many witnesses TO these confessions.
But their conviction will nolrestore the in
nocent man tolife, nor save his lnurderers
from the s,ings Of remorse for so cruel an
act. ~;

The Crops.-The prospects for fine crops
were never more ffattering in he upper
Districts than at this time. Tn some neigh
borhoods, however, they have suffered
severely from drought, and Immediately
under The mountains, from too much rain.
The Wheatc crop produced abundantly, and
the highest price we have heard asked for
that grain was rs cents per bushel. Oas
were seriously injured by dry weather, but
we should suppose that fully two thirds Of
the usual quantity has Been harvested in
this Dstrc!. The standing crop of Corn
generally looks well; and. as there is said
10 be surplus Of several thohsand barrels
Of last years crop still on hand, il is now
selling al 81 SO per barrel, in this market.
Bacon is very dull sale at 5 10 z cents per
