Eleven miles from this place, by the plank
road, on high, pleasant and healthy pine
grove hill, is situated this temple of learning.
In the midst of a community justly celebra-

rounded by society pleasing and attrac.

unexceptionable teachers, the Curryton' In.

receive the patronage and support Of the
entire district, for certainly there are no
schools in the district that can boast superb

The accounts from these cities continue
to be Of the most, gloomy character.
Among the many deaths, is that of Hun
ter Woods, the mayor of Norfolk. He
died on thezmorning of 26th instant, in the
34th year of his age. A correspondent Of
the Baltimore Sun says:
"No man of his day had more warm per.
sonal friends, or elected more general re-
spect wherever he went. TO know him was
to love him, His appearance; the open
and manly expression of his counteuance;
his full, rich voice; his mild and gentle man.
ner, indicating the warm heart and open
hand; his brilliant intellect: his truth and
honor; his bold and fearless spirit-all com.
bined to elicit the love and esteem of all
who come in contact with him. His loss
will be deeply mourned by thousands. To
his wife and numerous devoted friends it
will prove i.reparable. His funeral was
attended by the largest concourse of citi-
zens have ever seen assembled together
since the pestilence broke out. No other
man among US, be he high or low, rich or
poor, could have had such funeral, in
times like these; and the death of no other
man among US could have added so much
to the general gloom and distress"
