COURTING IN THE BAcKwooDs. Soon
after the arrival OF Ujhazy ON The banks Of
the Thompson River, when he and his parIy
had hardly pitched their lent, young back
wOOdsman came on horseback up 10 them,
and said. (which is the daughter OF the Hun
garIan General?'-Miss Ujhazy, who spoke
English, nsked him what he wdnted?-'I
reckon it's time for me to marry = was the
reply -'and came TO propose to you.' The
young lady began to laugh, bur her move!
suitor declared that he was IN full earnest;
that he did not live far off, aud that he would
asst her faIher in every way. But when he
saw that his proposal was not accepted, he
rode off 10 his business, without having
aIighted from his horse during tie conversa-
tion. The Hungarians afterwards learned,
that in the backwoOds not much time is
wasted ID courting young laGies, or paying
them attention before marriage. The pio-
neer visits neighboT who has grown up
daughters, and asks, How do you do ? plac-
es himself on chair before the chimney,
chews, spits in The fro, and ulters not an.
other word after while he takes his leave,
and when he has poid couple of such taci-
turn calls, he says, 4 reckon should marry
YOU The answer 10 cOmmonly,I have no
objection The couple, without further cer-
emOny, proceed 10 the justice of peace and
make their declaration, and when the Meth
odist Missionary happens 10 come in their
neighbOrhood, the civil marriage is SOIem-
nized relisiously."

CUNNING AsTRoLoGER.-An astrologer FORE
told the death of lady whom Louis XII pas
sionately loved. She did, in fact, die; and the
King imagined that the prediction of the astrol-
oger was the cause ofn. He sent for the man,
intending TO have him thrown through The win
dow, as punishment. Tell me, thou who
pretendest to be SO clever and learned man,
what thy fate will be!' The soothsayer, who
suspected the inirigues Of The Prince, and knew
his foible, replied Sire, foresee that shall
die three days before your Majesty. The
King believed him, and was careful Of the A.
trOloger's life. tH

For the Standard.

Mr. Enron experienced the pleasure of a trip
to Nash the 26h ultimo for the purpose of being
present at the examination of the students, &C., OF
The Casalia Institute, ourishng Seminary In tina;
County, and one that reflects credit upon both pupils
and preceptor. MIR. d. s. Richardson is gentleman
of Remarkable abilities as a teacher. Besides the
pleasure received in Witnessing the exercises of his
School, much gratified with the cordial hos
piiaiy manifested by the people OF the whole sur
rounding country.
The institution is a one, and formerly -four
ished under favorable auspices, under the same pro-
.prietor when unfortunate circumstances caused its
removal from Cedar Rock, franklin, TO its present
location. It's situation is beautiful one, in fine,
HEALTHY country and in the midst of a very moral
community /; in fact Nash herself is fast losing her
former reputation for dissipation &c. and is destined
vet, YOU may he assured, to stand foremost among
her sister counties in her institutions, morals &c.
Two Female SeminaTies are in the eighborhoOd,
one under Mrs. Richardson's and the other under
Dr. Siils superintendent, and standing dese:Vedly
high. Besides the usual exercises taught in all fe
male schools the arts have been assiduously
cultivated, and the beautiful specimens of drawing
and painting executed by the young ladies deserv
ing of much praise. Parents will readily recognize
the advantages of sending their and daughters
to the Castalia institutions by visit such as mine
to the annual examinations.
On the 9th the exercises concluded, and
great pains seems to have been taken in intoxicating
the of dec lamation among the students, and gen.
orally speaking they have acquired great proficiency
In most of schools at the present day those
branches which tend to make pleasant and graceful
speakers neglected in deporable degree, and it
has been the aim, and successfully of this inst
tuition to supply the deficiency. The exercises of
the school having been gone through, Seaton Gales,
Esq, of Raleigh, addressed the Students by invita-
ton, in an able, eloquent and appropriate manner.
His address received with open qualification.
The subject every way apropos 10 the occasion,
and the whole effort, indeed, added greatly his al
ready factoring reputation.
The ladies' of the neishborhood are not behind

cheering smiles and approving chances seemed to add
much to the agreableness of The anniversary. Long
life 10 them all =.

LUNATTC ASYLUM.

AT meeting OF the Commissioners of the Lu-
matte Asylum, held in this City on Saturday last
present, Messrs. Morehead, Graves, Hinton, and
Hogg-Dr. Edmund strudwick, of Hilsborough,
was appointed Superintendent. DR.. Strudwick
ranks deservedly high in his profession, and will
make a most intelligent and efficient Supernten-
dent. -
We learn that the appointment was rendered to
DR.. Chas. E. johnson, of this place but that gen.
tleman, foreseeing what he had not anticipated
the strong probability that the Superintendent
would be required, after the completion of the
building to reside at the Asylum declined to ac-
cept. DIR. J. might have accepted, served two
years. and resigned but believing it important to
the welfare of the institution that the Superinten
dent now appointed should be continued and not
desiring to continue himself coupled. with the
condition of residing in the building, he at once
adopted the course above mentioned 1t is under
stood that DR.. Strudwick did not wish the Office,
and was of opinion that it would be properly con-
ferred on some physician of this place. We but
give expression to the general feeling when we say
we trust he will accept the appointment.

June number of this work, in which the former
Editors, Messrs. Allen. Black, Scales, Spencer,
