IT was thought by some, that this institu-
ton, (Judson Academy, located in Jeffer-
son, in the county of Harrison, Ohio, could
not succeed, and there has been backward
ness with such persons in affording it aid
Indeed its best friends had their misgivings
on account of this very backwardness. But
a year of trial has resulted in triumph. As
time passed on the prospects improved, until
now it is no longer problematical. 1t can
and must be successful if its friends continue
to increase as they have done, and all hold
true to it. 1t is the very thing needed in
the community where it is located.
But with view to make it all that it is de-
sirable that it should be--a respectable, a
useful, and permanent institution, it is
necessary that the friends of education should
Immediately use their best efforts in its be-
half Consider amoment of the importance
and magnitude Of the objects contemplated.
1t is far the cheapest to do thoroughly what
we attempt to do at all and whatever is
worth doing at all is worth being well done.
| The Board have been compelled to resort
to loans J. on these interest is constantly ac-
cumulating, and at a distant day the princi-
/ pal will have to be paid.
The main edifce, which is 70 feet by 49
feet, and three stories high, remains unin'
! Iished-fooring and plastering remains to be
done--stoyes, tables, chairs, and other fix
lures are wanting-Astronomical, Mathe-
matical, Philosophical, and Chemical appa-
ratus are needed, besides Library.
Now, is it not better to do the work well
at once? 1t will then tell well--and will dc
well. Confidence, responsibility, usefulness
and permanency will all be obtained.
| Below, will be found few of the notices
that have been given of the Institution, by
editors who have visitedit, and have spoken,
unsolicited, in reference toit.
The editor of the "Chrstan Register, y
published in GAINESVILLE, Ohio, says:
'JUDsoN AcADEMY.-We had the pleasure
ofyisiting this Institution few months since
and were much gratifed in examining its con.
dition and prospects. n 4 Located in 6
healthy, moral, and noble hearted communi
ty, where the substanstan6al comforts of life
are found in abundance; and accessible to
multitude of both sexes for whose benefit i
j is designed. Let it receive the fostering care
and attention it deserves from the friends O
education, and it will live to be one of the
"trees Of centuries," and shed its salutary in,
fuence upon generations to come"
We extract the following from the Gamer
lean Union, published in Steubenville, o.:
"JUDsoN AcADEMY.-Great exertions have
been made to place it among the foremost o.
the kind in the country. The pecuniary
difficulties that existed with regard to the
purchase and finishing of the esplendid edifce,
we are happy to learn have been nearly O.
vercome. The location is one of the most
pleasant and healthy in the State. And the
principal, Rev. E. III. Scarf has no superior
as a teacher, and few equals as scholar
Judson Academy now commences a career
surpassed by few institutions of the kind, and
we have no doubt will readily win its way
into public esteem"
The Sentinel & Farmer" published in
Cadiz, Harrison county, 0. speaks asfollows
"JUDsoN AcADEMY.-We cheerfully re.
commend this institution to those who wish
to place their children in a school, where
they will receive proper care. The principal,
Rev. E. H. ScARFF, is a scholar and gen.
tleman, and well qualified to discharge the
important duty which devolves upon him.
Miss CLARrssA E. SEYMOUR, will have charge
of the female department. She is fully COM
petent for this, possessing as she does athor-
ough classical education. Altogether, this
Academy is worthy of support, and we un-
hesitatfngly recommend it to the patronage
of the public"
Who will not feel elated at having aided
SO worthy an object?
