or, as Cowrer says -
Man made the town, God made the county
We acknowledge our dependence upon
the country but as we have but little
space now to devote to this subject, we
wish TO confne ourselves to Woodville.
We have a population OF 1000 inhabi-
tsnts. OF as healthy, active, and cookbook
ing people Of both sexes, as can be found
anywhere. Our married citizens are gener-
ally prolific and the village schools are
crowded with the happiest, healthiest, and
most robus, children in Christendom. We
have in the corporation four. schools, two
female and two male schools. First, is the
WoodviIle Public School, taught by Mr..
S. S. Fairfield, a gentleman Of a refined
and extensive education. This school is
kept in the basement of the Presbyterian
Church, and will henceforth be popular
and prosperous. Mr.. A. c. Magruder,
Qate Of the Public SCHOOL, has opened a
private school in the old Academy building
near the Baptist Church. Mr.. Magruder
is a graduate of Centenery, a gentleman
and a scholar, and from the number OF boys
he has, it is evident that his system of
teaching is approved by a number of our
citizens. The Misses Calder continue their

Of these ladies and the good they have
done. Many of our accomplished ladies
| received their first lessons at the hands of
the Misses Calder, and the affection en-
t~erained for them by all who attended
their school, is an evidence-if their was
not an abundance otherwise-of the esti-
mable qualities of these gifted ladies. Mrs.
Marschalk has lately opened, in the build
ing recently occupied by John Mckee,
Esq. She has a respectable number OF
scholars, and she is spoken of as a lady
well qualified for her responsible undertake
ing. The Female public school, recently
kept by the amiable and gifted Miss. Smith
has been discontinued There appears to
be an objection to a school of this kind
here parents prefering to send their daugh-
ter to private schools. In another year, the
Newton Institute, of DR.. Phares, at Whites
vile, will be literally patronized by our
citizens
We have four churches, only two of which
the Methodist and Presbyterian, have sta
toned ministers. DR. Light, of the Method
: list Church, is a veteran in religion, and is al
able preacher; his gray hairs and venerable
e lnppearance well become the pulpit. Mr.
d Beach, of the Presbyterian, has been to-
long a resident here to require any lntroduc
ton. lie is admitted on all hauds to be
ie gentleman of splendid talents and good re
% search. A Sabbath cannot be more profit
