The object Of calling attention TO the school
recently opened under the above appelIation.
and now holding its sessions in the Canal-st.
school room, is TO correct a report somewhat
circulated, concerning the duration ofits duties.
/ 1t Is reported that this school is lust to con.
tinue one term. As TO the source from which
this took ITS rise, we are not advised, nor are
We soliciious TO know; but to correct such a
rumor, we call attention to the circulars issued,
and IT any such inference can be drawn from
them, we are at a loss 10 know where the pre-
misses are TO be found. The object in opening
a school in Carrollton of the character which il
is designed TO hold, in common with other in
siIutions Of a similar kind, is to afford such
advantages and facilities to male and female
pupils which will conduce to a thorough prac-
tical education. And in carrying out this OBJ
Ieei 1t is not expected to cease It's operations at
the end OF one term only but it will continue
It's active duties so long as sufficient patronage
is received from the citizens Of CArrolton and
from abroad.
The school is arranged into three divisions,
and so soon as sufficient patronage is extended
to justify the enterprise, two assistant teachers
viii be secured TO carry out the main object
originally contemplated. The patronage thus
far extended has rendered il necessary to Sc
cure the services of an assistant teacher. The
services of Mr.. S. +. McCowen has been secur-
ed, and he has entered on his duties. We hope
to do all that lays within our power To render
this Institute pleasant to the pupils. The ex-
ercises will partake Of varied character, so as
/ TO give the strongest incentive to renewed en-
ergy in the prosecution of the studies pursued
Vocal Music will receive attention, -illustra-
tons by maps, charts, plates, &c, will form a
particular feature in exercises of the school.
1t is very much to be regretted that there is
not more suitable house, to enable us to car
ry out more efficiently the contemplated ar
rangement.
We are happy to announce, that so far the
school has received considerable encourage
ment and should it continue to increase, we
will not be very long in effecting the arrange
ment SO much desired by the Principal. With
the aid of competent teachers, we anticipate
giving satisfaction to our patrons.
Amy further information that may be desired,
will be cheerfuly given by addressing, post
paid, the Principal, at Carrollton Ohio.

The Railroad will be about completed to

il is feared that the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Railroad Company will not have their track
laid down to the junction for few days after

locomotive cannot be brought up here fo
some days after the 81.
We have thought il advisable to inform oul
readers of this fact, in order that any of then
who might feel disposed to come up on the 81
of May may not be disappointed. You haC

The Illinois Journal (Springfeld), of this
week says that several farmers in that vicinity
have made examination of corn raised last year
and have arrived at the conclusion that not one
kernel in twenty of last years crop will gefmi-
nate if planted. If this is so, it is fact of
great Importance, and means to guard against
the threatened consequences should be adopt
ed. If the fructifying grain cannot be culled
from the other, then the proportion of poor seed
must be ascertained, if possible, and the amount
planted be proportionately increased. The first
step of our farmers is to ascertain the real con-
dition of their seed, and learn whether their
experience comedies with that of the farmers
about Springfield, The Journal says that the
cause of this defect in the corn can be traced
to the peculiar weather last summer and fall.
The summer and first fall months were very
dry-the corn was checked in its growth-Oc-
tober and November were wet--coIn was kept
in the milk, or at least the germ was not ma
tured, but kept soft until frost came, which de-
stroyed its life.
The weather may be the cause, but, if we
mistake moi, this imperfection of the corn has
been coming on for years, in some places more
apparent than in others. And not only in corn
but in many other seeds, the same defect is ap-
parent. For our own part, we are strongly in
cned to believe that this imperfection is closely
allied to the disease of the potatoe, and that it
comes from the same cause, namely, violation
Of certain natural laws, obedience to which will
restore health and terminating power to all
The first sign of debility in the potato was the
lessening of the yield, or the failure of the
germs to develope. Having confidence in the
remedy of the potatoe disease, proposed, and
for years used with entire success by Mr.. Rob
erts Of Michigan, we cannot but strongly hope
that corn would be restored by the same pro-
cess 1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Roberts rem
edy will be made known throughout the coun-
try as soon as possible.
