measures TO place il upon a new and improve d

and OF course subjected to all the evils which have
been found to attend the amagamation of the two
depa rtmcnts in the same building, and under the
same government, now enjoys the privilege of a
separate establishment, without losing those which
resultfrom its relation to the College proper

sary Ttures of complete boarding establishment
has been erected and furnished, I'm which the stn
charge of the Principal and his Assistants; and ali

other department. The furniture OF the study
rooms and dormitories has been chosen with pecu-
liar reference for study;
and no expense has been spared in providing the
apparatus necessary to render the meansoftnstruc-
ton complete; giving to Newark Academy facili-
ties for p,i saie study and comfortable accommoda-
| ton of students, fully equal to those afforded by
| many of our colleges.

WESTERN MILITARY INSTITUTE,
Drennou Springs, Kentucky.

TINHIS Institution, account OF the rapidly IN
Il creasipg demand for admittance, has been
compelled to change it's locaton-the buildings at
Blue Lick Springs being insufficient for the accom-
modation Of the large number seeking entrance.
Within the last year two hundred and sixty cadets
have been matricuated, of whom near one hun
drcd have left or been discharged mainly for want
of suitable "quarters." Drennon Springs has been
secured as the future and permanent location OF the
school. To the great body of our patronage, com
ing as it does from the South and West, no point
could be more desirable. Situated within one mile
of the Kentucky river, midway between Frankfort
and Louisville it is easy of access in all directions,
steamboats, passing both ways daily.
The buildings and improvements arcvery extern
sivc, affording ample room and accommodations
for three hundred cadets
Its retired and healthful position eminently
adapts il for the purposes of Military School. Be
ing eight mics from any town, it is free alike from
the vices and exiravagancies usually incident to a
college life.
The second term of the animal series opens on
Monday, the 10th of February, and hereafter the
annual session will regularly open on the second
Monday of September, and close the last Friday in
June For further information address

AJ-A GRADUATE Of West Point, skilled in
practical engineering can obtain situation in the

TO THE PUBLIC.

The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
of the President comprise all the residue oil the
lead mines yet to be brought nto market south
of the Wisconsin river They cover those mines
(particuarly the portion situated in llnois) work
ed under former leases from the Government which
had not expired the date of the sale OF the odla
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage OF
being prepared for immediate operations, without
incurring the increased expenses incidental TO
opening new mines, and most OF them are believed
to be very productive. They are all more or less
conveniently situated in reference 10 the
rivers and other cheap means of transportation OF
their products to St. Louis, and are in the midst Of
a country yielding abundantly all the agricultural
products of the latitude in which they are located

CATTLE SHOW AND FAIR---KENOSKIA
COUNTY,.

This was held according TO previous arrange
ment at the grounds near the house of P. II.
Wood, in Bristol.
The location is splendid one and the enter
tainment by our host was superior; and gave
all the satisfaction which could be expected for
so large crowd.
The show of Cattle was fair The number
in competition was not large, but those present
were of the best stock. The knowledge of this
fact, doubtless, kept many from competing who
would have made handsome show if they had
been present. We noticed some full blooded
stock belonging to Mr.. II. Durkee, which would
do mans eyes good to 60 fifty miles to look
at
Messrs. Clapp Croker, Mcclellan, Marsh,
Johnson, and large number of other farmers
in this county made a show of Cows, Sheep,
Mares, Colts, &c, that would have graced any
fair at the East.
The Boys from the city had out faster and
handsomer horses than any other city in the
State can show.
The show from the dairy was not large but
such articles as were presented were of the tip
top kind and would satisfy the taste of connois-
seur or epicure.
The weather was very unfavorable for a large
attendance in the morning of the first day, on &C.
count of the rain and the lowering prospect; and
the North easter which came on the next day de-
tered many from going who had designed to at
tend on Wednesday. But those who met, and
had the pleasure of listening to the able address
of DIR. MCCLELLAN, the President of the Asso-
citation, were we'll paid. We shall publish the
address next week.
These gatherings and exhibitions have a de.
cidedly salutary tendency on the habits and NOR.
ais of the community. They bring together the
citizens of each part of the county. They heal
old feuds, and give friends an opportunity to re.
new their acquaintances and by firm grip OF
the hand and kindly greetings, they make the
large heart of humanity beat pulsatons of friend
! ship and love as it measures off the brittle and
uncertain thread of Life.
The awards of the committees, and such 9th
err facts as may be of interest, we shall endeavol
to give in our next.
