article, Who was the author Of Peter Schie.
mill IN America ~ To this query we would
state, that this work Of elegant satire was
written by George Wood, Esq, of Washington
City, where, we believe, he is connected with
one of the Departments. Mr.. Wood is ma
tive Of Newburypsrt, but has resided in Wash
ington for many years. He is well known in
literary and fashionable circles in the Federal
City. In personal appearance he very much
resembles the late Rev Dr. Goldman, of Dor
chester, and many instances have occurred
where the distinguished Massachusetts, divine
was familiariy addressed by strangers in this
vicinity, who mistook him for the author Of
Peter Schiemihi The work was published by
Carey & Hart of Philadelphia in ls4S, and
obtained considerable reputation for its bold
sharp, and puugent satire, and at the same
time its freedom from personalities The book
made quite a sensation in fashionable circles,
by the severe manner with which the folly and
wickedness Of high life at watering places was
exposed The excellence Of the volume con-
sisted in its elevated and chaste style, and its
acquaintance with the fashionable follies of
the age. The edition was exhausted in "A short

The SCHOOL FOR CoLoRED GIRLS, estab-
lished nearly two years since, in the city of
Washington, d. C., was reopened as usual, for
the Fall term, the first Monday in October
The number entered is larger than at any
previous opening and the interest has greatly
increased during the last year. This is shown
in the prompt return of many Of the former
pupils, their earnest delight in study, and their
rapid improvement in mind and manners.
The school is now in the fourth locality
since its establishment; yet number of the
first pupils still remain, regardless of all reno
walls, and no obstacles or annoyances have
been sufficient to interrupt their progress OF
thwart the object for which the school was
established-namely, 10 educate a class Of girls
for teachers
A full report of the progress and present
condition Of the school, and its finances, will
soon be published, when We hope to be able to
inform the friends and contributors that their
hopes have been realized. The school, it will
be remembered, is under the care of Miss
Miner, one of the most efficient and judicious
teachers we have ever known.

CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER CAsEs.-The
Portland Advertiser thus explains the cir
eumstances under which the chaise ordered
for Gen. Pierce was presented to some one
else:
The ehaise was spoken for before, but,
unfortunately for the President, not finish
ed until after the Offices had been distribu-
ted when the zeal of some of the gentlemen
who were to pay for it had somewhat sub
sided. The result was that the chaise was
stored in this city for some weeks, during
which time its final disposition was a matter
Of some uncertainty. At length several
gentlemen united to present it to Mr. Sirick-
land. Mr, S. was a prominent candidate
for the Bangor Collectorship, but was de-
feated through the influence Of Mr.. Hum
