THE TWO BROTHERS.

men, without means, started in life. They
were both brothers, and both printers

sued almost the same career, and, though
resident in different States, seem to have
gone together, filling nearly the same pub
lie positions, and winning all hearts by
the gentle suavity and steady consistency
of their character and conduct. Both are
still very young men; and yet it is more
than probable that both will in few
months rise TO the gubernatorial chair of

INTERESTING ASTRONOMICAL FACT. Two
persons were born at the same place, at
the same moment OF time. After an age
Of fifty years, they both died, also at the
same spot, and at the same instant, yet
one of them lived one hundred days more
than the other. How was this possble?-
Not TO keep our friends in suspense, the
solution turns on curious, but with very
little reflection, very obvious point in cir
cumnavigation. A person going round the
world to the West, loses day, and to.
wards the East, he gains one. Supposing.
then two persons born at the Cape OF Good
Hope, whence a voyage around the world
may be performed in a year; if one per-
form this constantly towards the West,
in fiAy-one years he will be fifty days be.
hind the stationary inhabitants; and if the
other sail equally East, he will gain fifty
days in advance Of them. One, therefore
will have lived some 100 days more than
the other. though they were born and died
at the same place, and at the same moment,
and even lived continually in the same lati-
tudes and reckoned by the same calendar.

Monday was quite large, and sales were made
both for shipment and for grinding as follows -

white S5a00 cts. The heavy receipts having sup
piled the wants of mlllers, the market became ra-
Their dull at the close. On Tuesday the receipts
fell off, and have continued rather light, which
caused the market to rally little, and the sales
since then have been made within the above quo

CHARLOTTE HALL ACADEMY.

This institution, amongst the Oldest in the State,
is now in fiourishing condition. The President,
DR.. BROWNE, is gentleman of high order Of tai
ents excellent dsciplnarian, master of the dead
languages, and a tlrst-rate teacher of the French
and other languages. The Vice Principal, Mr.
MuTIMoRE, is well known one of the best CLASH
cal instructors as also of other branches, and from
his long experience the Academy, high character
and amiabe manners, is justly fayoritc with the
students and all who know him. Mr.. BRIsCoE, as
young gentleman, has no superior in ability,
knowledge of the various branches he teackes, or
department as gentleman. The Trustees. at
their last meeting, ordered the purchase ola Chem
ical and Philosophical Apparatus, which when OBJ
tanned will complete the preparations for all the
essential branches Of education for young gentle
men.
The situation of the Academy, like that at Bry-
antown, is proyerbial for health-the annual OK
penses, not one-thrd the sum required for youths
at Colleges generally. With such advantages as
those two institutions possess, why send girls and
boys, at an enormous expense, far away from their
parents and guardians, and afterwards to come
home dissatisfied with their county? The
reason is, because it is fashionable.
Now let parents in the surrounding counties send
their girls to the BryantoWn Academy, and their
boys to Charlotte Hall, and all those who have
none Of their own send their neghbcr children to
those two Institutions, and they will become fash
ionabie-the girls and boys well instructed in
all the requisite branches of education, whether
useful or ornamental, except perhaps the Bloome1'
Costume. One thing is certain, at the end of three
years schooling the parents would be taught a
lesson and find out which pocket profits most

means OF destroying flame is by the pro-
duc,ion of gaseous vapour, although anti
conclusive, yet not anti-respialory, which
is poured upon the fire. The real cause Of
