The Female seminary.

A Committee composed OF Hon. LISTER
TAYLOR, of Geaugs; Hon. R. HIrcHcocK,
of Lake; WILLIAM DAY, Esq, Of Lorain;
Rev. W. HAWKS, Of Mass, snd Rev. d. A..
GRosyERSoH, Of Medina, visited Ravenna
last week, for the purpose Of viewing the
place as the contemplated site Of a large
Female Seminary, somewhat on the plan of
the one at-South Hadley in Massachusetts,.
We understand that meeting was held
somewhere in village, at which sundry
speeches were made, aud two delegates ap.
pointed to represent the claims of Ravenno,
before the Committee.
Ravenna should have had one member OF
the aforesaid committee As it is, it seems
to US, that they are all interested in having
the Seminary some Where else. Painsville,
Medina and one or two other points have
already pledged large sums towards its con.
'struction, in case Il shall be located there.
We wish the Seminary might be located in
Ravenna. 1t is, in our judgement the best
point in Northern Ohio, and far superior to
any OF those nearer the lake. Ours is q
pleasant, healthful place. We have one
Railroad running north and south, and in q
short time the Atlantic & Great Western,
running nearly east and west, will be COM
pleted, thus furnishing admirable facilities
to students coming to and going from the
place. Besides these advantages, may be
mentioned another of still greater impor-
tapce. A Seminary located here, would
draw patronage from southern end south
eastern Ohio, also from Western Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia, which it would not do
were it located on the Lake shore. There
can be but little doubt, that a large fe-
male Seminary will be built either near Ra.
VIENNA or in some of the counties adjoining
on the south, even if the one contemplated
should go to Painesville or Elyria. Still,
one, rightly located. would fully answer the
wants Of Northern Ohio. tt by proper ef
fort, our citizens can secure it here, it will
unquestionably be very much to our advan-
tage. 1t will add to tho beauty and prosper
ity of Ravenna. 1t will furnish our people
admirable opportunities for the thorough and
finished education of their daughters. Ev-
cry enterprise calculated to advance the
morality and intelligence Of the community
in which we live, should receive the cordial
appreciation ofthe public. Those religious
and literary institutions which give higher
tone 10 society. which lead our youth in the
paths of knowledge and happiness. are our
surest guarantees ofvirtue, of wealth, Of har-
mony and advancement, among all classes
and conditions of society.

SAD AcCIDENr.-On Saturday afternoon
the Rev. JAMES EELLs, Sem, formerly a res.
ident of Amherst, Lorain County, and faith
er of Rev. JAMES EELLs, Jr., pastor of the
Second Presbyterian Church, Of DAN. P.
EELLs, bookkeeper in the Commercial Bank
and DWIGHT EELEs, in the Gas Office, while
standing on the C.. C. & C. Railroad track
at Grafton, saw a train approaching, and
stepped off on the other track. Being occu.
pied with looking at the train he had jus,
avoided, another train coming in an oppo.
site direction struck him, and he was knock.
ed down, and so injured as to survive but q
short time. His remains were brought to
this city, where he has lately resided with
one of his sons, and was buried this morning.
His death has occasioned great grief, not
only among his relatives, but also among q
large number Of ucqua antances made in this
city during his brief residences. He came to
Ohio from Westmoreland, Oneida Co., N.
Y where he was for many years, The Pas.
tor Of Presbyterian Church. His family

The SlavRherS.r.

Ofall the moral pests which infest society
none is more to be avoided and desp;sed than
the slanderer. Like the spirit of evil, be
goes about in a shroud of darkness, infusing
the subtil poison Of his breath into every vein
and artery Of the social fabric. Like the s.
sassin he strikes when you dream not OF his
presence. A bold, bad man is not half SO
dangerous, not half so much to be dreaded,
as one who is cunning, stealthy and maic-
ious. One, gives us warning of his approach
and bids US prepare for battle, the other,
steals cautiously up behind US and stabs us
in the back. The malaria which brings
disease aud death into the habitations OF
men, is not more to be avoided Judas be
trayed his Lord with kiss. In imitation of
Judas, our modern slanderers meet you in so
ciety with smiles and words of friendship,
that in the end, they may the more surely
destroy you. No persons character is safe
from their cont tamination. Would you then
protect yourself against them! There is
one way, and only one. DO right, now and
always. You may be injured for little
while. Some vile serpent in human form
may cast a stain upon your fair fame, but
depend upon it, a steady, manly course will
in the end vipdicate your character in the
eyes of all honorable men. You must ex
pect to have enemies. No honest indepen.
dent man is without them. Do not seek to
find them out, or quarrel with them; but 60
straight ahead in the line of duty, and as sure
ss there is God in Heaven who holds the
Jcales of justice in his hands, so surely will
your integrity be finally rewarded. q.

Mn. EDIroR:-My attention has been de

ing thstD Deerfeld had gone Democratic BY 4
hsndsOms majority" He says he would
like to know what constitutes q handsome
mai orityi and that the Democrats had from
3 to 9 majority. Why did he not give the
figures as they stand upon the Poll BOoksi
By reference to the record, il will be seen
that JosEPH p. POWELL, Democrat, had 81
votes and his opponent had ss votes which
gives Mr.. POWELL msjority Of s6. ibid
not say that 30 was the lowest and 40 the
highest, l merely gave the votes as they
stood for assessor.
Mr.. Brown says the Sentinel has been
wrongly informed. Why then, did he moi
give fair statement of the facts, II he wish
es to set men right. He further says that
there were over twenty Of the republicans
absent from the polls. Who knows,wheth-
er they were republicans or not do not
and doubt whether any man does, except
they themselves.
Mr.. Brown further says that the Sentins
has forgotten that the Democrats did finch
one year ago last fall. Let ask who 'flinched
in the fall Of '53, when Mr.. COCHRAN had liz
votes for Representative, and Mr.. G. BKowI
had SO votes in old Deerfeld! Now
