"THE WANDERER''-a Tale of Life's vi
cissitudes-by the Popular Author Of "The
Watchman," work that has reached an
edition of A 10000 copies, and still selling rap
idly. E. d. Long, 121 Nassau street, New
York, has in press this new work, which will
be ready for delivery soon; cloth binding,
81. The intrinsic merits Of this "Tale Of
Real Life" will doubtless insure a ready
and immense sale. Address the Publisher.
EF We have received from the Publisher,
T. B. Peterson, 102 Chestnut ST., Philadel-
phia, a copy of a work by Mrs. Caroline Lee
Hentz, entitled Linda, or the Young Pilot
of the Belle Creole"-bound in cloth for 81,
paper covers Is cents. We have read the
work with intense interest. It's chaste lam
guage, fine moral sentiment, the triumph of
virtue over vice, and of christian principle
in subduing the evil passions of the heart,
which the story inculcates, are all calculated
not only to interest, but instruct and benefit
the reader. Mr.. Peterson has also issued a
number Of other works, from the pen of this
late distinguished American Authoress.

Standard Literature.

1t is an encouraging sign to notice SO
many of the best Publishing Houses of the
country issuing reprints of standard Authors,
thus spreading before the reading public
works of intrinsic value, and Of q character
to instruct and elevate the understanding of
those who read. Trashy and demoralizing
publications have for a long time monopoli-
zc1 the presses of Publishers, and TIE shelves
of Booksellers-and they have been sold and
read too by the million, while the dust has
settled upon those which were really worthy
of perusal by a virtuous and educated peo-
pie.
This encouraging omen may doubtless be
traced to the diffusion Of educational ad.
vantases throughout the country. The in
tellectual appetite has been sought to seel
for something more substantial and eleya
ting than the vapid nonsense of "yellow coy
ered' literature, and the whining sentimen
tally of love-sick romances. May the "goo,
time a-coming" soon arrive, when such trasI
will be discountenanced altogether.

REPORT Of the Executive Committee q
York CoUegiate Institute, ~. g..

Report OF the ErecuttUe COMMITTEE OF
York Collegiate Institute, N. G.
We the Executive Committee Of York Col
legiate Institute, beg leave to report, that we
were in attendance at the first annual COM
mencement, and have frequently visited the
College during the session, and witnessed the
progress of the students, and are now pre-
paret to say hat we are more than satisfied
with the proficiency of the method of teach
ing adopted by the President Of the Insti-
tute. Ills thorough preparation on the Eng
llsh bsancheS, recommends the Institute to
all who may want to lay the foundation Of a
thorough education for no branch will be
passed over until it is thoroughly understood.
The examination on Arithmetic has satisfied
us OF tlls for students who came here this
session, mere beginners, have acquired u
thorough knowledge.
We would call attention to the system of
teaching Grammar, which is new and a de-
clded Improvement. The student isnot only
required to parse the sentence; but he is re-
quired to thoroughly analize and synthesize
1t, and thus thoroughly understand the mean
ing and construction, which enables him to
parse it with perfect certainty.
10 thesystem of Elocution, also, we would
call attention. The students arc taught to de,
claim first in concert, which is the best meth
cd Of training the voice and also giving ar
idea OF its modulations; then they are re
qulred to declaim separately with reference
to meditation, pronunciation and enuncia
ton. Judging yethe display made at thu
commencement, we have no hesitation il
saying that we are convinced that Elocutiol
is susceptible Of being taught, and success
fully too.
The Languages are also taught ably on tn
Oral system, and thoroughly too. The clos
and rigid examination fully %justifes US i
saying that we think the department of lar
guages is well conducted.
The department of Mathematics is abb
and thoroughly conducted, and above a
practically.
Considering the location, which is not SUI
passed by any in the State, for beauty, moul
tain scenery, good water and health, an
thorough training, both mentally and moral
in the different departments, we feel no he
itatlon in recommending the Institute to a
young men who wish to acquire a bushes
practical or collegiate education.

Treating by Candidates.

Will the ~abominable, demoralizing custom,
of treating with ardent spirits, be INDUCED
in by candidates for the Legislature, and for
Shcriffs, this year? We know it is against
the law" for them to do 50 they know it al
so, and so do Grand Jurors; but the thing
has been done so long with impunity, the
majesty Of the law" has been SO long con-
~temptuously spurned and disregarded, that
it might as well not be on our statute book. 1t
would therefore be the more manly and pa
triotic for candidates to voluntarily abandon
a custom "more honored in the breach than
in the observance" We hope, therefore,
that the campaign for 1856, will be the COM
mencement of a new era, from which will
date the entire absenceof Intoxicating drinks
from the hustings and election grounds
Respect for themselves and for those whose
SURFACES they solicit, certainly require this
at their hands.

relate these two brief episodes from her

Our CITY.

1t is q long time since we took q birds eye
view of our little rural City but really, at
this beautiful season of the year it presents
so pleasant an aspect as to induce US to in
dulge in some laudations of its charms. 1t
is true we have no crowded thorough-fares-
no busy marts Of trade where men rush
greediIy on in quest of mammon-no faun-
ting, gilded saloons of. dissipation-nosreVel
halls of sinful, demoralizing pleasures
quiet, moral, healthy, happy people, with
sufficient business to enable the frugal and
Industrious to 'liye WE'LL" and lay by a COM
petence for the winter of old age. Our
Churches are generally well attended, by
respectful, pious hearers-for here every
body goes to church except the hardened
and profigate-and few communities are
blessed with more faithful, able Ministers Of
the Gospel. It is true we have no heavily
laden wharves, or the deep rich soils sur
rounding US of which others boast but we
are also free from the deadly epidemics which
scourges them and carries it's hundreds an
nually to the grave: Shaking agues and
arorrying chills are not our natural autumn
3 nal inheritance. Our advantages and bless
ings far outweigh our losses, and contented
! and blest we boast Of our quiet little City
, : as a very nice place to live in.
Our beautiful shaded streets and groves
of oak, and elm, and locust, &c. the mag
. nifcent flower gardens and gravelled walks
: decorating the fronts of many dwellings, and
e the emerald carpeted lawn, afford cooling
] freshness and repose when the sun is sending
his burning heats upon the defenceless form
j of the denizen of the city with towering
walls and burning pavements. And the full
b. free rich tones of the mocking-bird greet u,
IN at twilight and at midnight's Silly hour, lul
ling US into sweetest slumber and enablin,

cures these wonderfully Pills have effected in
all parts of the Union, more particularly in
cases of asthma Of long standing, and coughs,
leaves no doubt upon the mind of all who
have used them, that they surpass any thing
of the kind ever made known by a persever-

TAYLoRSVILLE, n. c., l4th June, 1856.
Alta regular meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees OF the above Institution, it was resolved
lst. That the Board are much pleased at
witnessing the examination ofthe students who
gave evidence of such thoroughness of schol-
arship and excellent department, surprising
anything we have seen with so large Il num-
Der of young men for, according to the
statistics kept by the teachers, there was not
o single delinquent In school duties during
the second session.
I'd. That til the opinion of the Board that
this unparalleled success Of the school In
morals and learning, is to be attributed
mainly to the Jealous efforts and watchful
eye of our most worthy and esteemed Presi-
dent JAMES IL. FooTE, who has such a pecu-
liar tact in government, and so happy a
method of instructing his pupils and entor-
cling his precepts, as to gain the confidence
of all.

very able manner in which the classes were
conducted, under the instruction of our high.

for which we tender him our thanks.
