Woodsfield Seminary.

i@,.saW rs Woodsfield Seminary.
This institution, now under the charge Of D. R.
Campbell, A., M, and Samuel Davenport, A. B.,
is in a very flourishing condition. Perhaps at no
time since hs first organization have greater facili
ties been Afforded in this place, to those desirous
Of obtaining an academic education. Messrs
Campbell and Davenport devote their whole time
to the advancement Of their pupils, and with very
gres, success. as the progress made in the various
branches taught. will testify. They ars'fully COM
petent to give instruction in all the branches they
propose TO teach as stated in their advertisement,
which will be found 10 another column of our pa
per, We understand, also, that Mrs. Campbell,
LADY, well qualified to teach, has charge of num-
her of classes 10 the female department. Taking
into consideration these advantages, together with
its healthy location, and the facilities OF obtaining
good boarding at low rates, this Seminary now
presents inducements to the community scarcely
'excelled in this section Of the country. Wehope
our citizens will take lively interest in the pros
perity of this institution for it is well worthy of
their patronage There are now, we believe, over
fifty pupils in attendance. The number would be
largely increased If the citizens Of this county pro-
perIy appreciated the advantages possessed BY this
institution. s1 a

Bloomfield, Jefferson county, drew from that
Bank and others, upon forged paper, money to
the amount of eight thousand dollars, which he
has managed to escape with for parts unknown.
The Banking Institutions that suffer with the Steu-

Wheeling Bank, and the Csdiz Bank. The Doc

h5- The result of certain important measures
and sis..;vus that came before the last General
Assembly, owing to the situation OF parties in that
body, has excited SONG considerable speculation
As to whether its members would be sustained by
the people. Perhaps 10 two men have received
more abuse than Dr. 7owpshend and Col. Morse

that mad he been member of the last Legislature
he would have had no hesitation in voting for a
bill that repealed so much OF the appotlionment
bill as relates to Hamilton county. The editor Of
the Cleveland True Democrat, (free.soil,) who
had also denounced Townshend and Morse, in
late number Of that paper, comes out and retracts
what he had previously said of these gentlemen,
and does them full justice. BG ELi.dI
