sS- Some persons are inverate fault
finders. They find fault with them
selves, with the world, and as far as
possible, make themselves, and those
around them generally unhappy. The
propensity to find fault seems to be Q
part Of their constitutional being, pur.
suing them through life like the ghost
Of Banquo. Fault 6nding, croakiug and
gossipp'ng, are generally constituent
clements in the same character. Per-
sons who possess this character NAV
differ in disposition aud degree, but they
have all the same unsavory taint-the
same Troublesome and disgusting nature.
OF all persons in community, deliver
Us from gossipiug and croaking misan-
thropes, say we. Their presence is like
an infectious miasma. They stir up
mire and dirt wherever they go, and
vulture like, feed with ravenous voracity
upon the faults of their fellow-men.
They sit IN Judgment upon the motives,
the actions, and the characters of their
neighbors. They judge Of those around
them by the perverted standard of their
own diseased and msanthropic minds,
magnifyng all that is evil, and forget,
ting all that is good, in the nature of the
race. Their chief aliment is scandal,
and if it were taken away from them,
nothing would be left but poor disjointed
skeletons in human form, ruined by their
own folly. Such perversions of human
ity may follow us at times with more
than helllsh malignity; but they may
suffer from their vile emenations, We
should always look upon them with pity.
and commiserate their misfortunes.

pV~ The following letter was received
some two weeks since. Its publication
has been delayed for want of room


KINosToN, X. | July %, 1857.
Dh Editor 1T was our privilege,
yesterday, TO attend the Elimination Of
the pupils of the FoDalo Seminary, at
this village. Tie ex rci~es occupied
the day, aud the young ladies' sustained
themselves very creditably throughout.
They exhibited thorough discipline IN
the useful, but too often neglected
branches of reading, mathematics and
English grammar, as well as the orna-
mental departments of female education,
and we canuot refrain from pronounclug
the so-called, merely ornamental, most
truly useful also, as We recall tue i'm
preston on our own mind aud ihc very
marked impression on the audience,
made by the exercises in music and
botany in the afternoon, especially in.
Guiding The Colloquy Of the Flowers. u
The ladies engaged in instrucling in
the Seminary, have laborcd ha d to
mould the intellcctua materials put into
their hands, into forms of solid ex
celence and attractive beauty, and their
labors have not been in vain. Under
their patient and skilliul culture, we
have seen, with great delight, the young
plant devclopc its virtues and its love-
Illness, and we feel it duty to the in
stitution and also to the public, thus to
notice the rare facilities presented for
the education of the daughters Of Nara
gansett and other contiguous portions Of
the State.
The Trustees are not aiming at a
mammoth school. Their determination
is to maintain an institution in which
young ladies can be dealt with ndivid
uall y and not as herd. The Trustees
fully understand, that an education in
cludrs the moral as well as the mental
and the physical and social added to
both. They will not lose sight Of the
fact that woman, however otherwise
cultivated, is but wandering star,
without the domestic virtues, and that
all. other excellences combined in her,
give but a bewlldering glare, without
the mellowing Influence OF true piety.
Of the location Of the Seminary we
need say little. Kingston is well known
for the beauty of its situation - the
salubrity of its climate its freedom
from demoralizing Influences and rare
combination of natural advantages which
harmonize with the efforts Of the guar
dian and teacher in producing the hap
piest results of mental and moral train.

pay- The following is an extract OF a
letter received by gentleman OF this
village from friend Of bis residing IN
Cedar County, Iowa:
f" The farmers 10 this and the adjoin-
ing counties, having long suffered from
the continued depredations of horse
theves-who live in the timber along
the rivers-have this summer formed
themselves into committees to ferret out
and hang the scoundrels, who have too
long gone unwbipped Of justice. "
These depredators are so formed into
bands, that whenever one Of them is
taken by the authorities, Others are
ready to come forward and swear him
clear On the Sd Of July two Of the
ringleaders were arrested, aud there
being no good Jail at hand, they were
given into the care OF several men who
we're to keep them until the next day.
While they were guarding them in the
Court House, about midnight mob
came up aud breaking down the doors,
they seized the criminals aud imme-
diately repaired to the woods with them
and eleUated them Another was shot on
the sam, day, and some twenty or more
from this county alone are missing. Some
suppose the committe have given them
a hist but they probably saw the
signs of the times, and thought it ad-
visable to flee to the mountain
Ten men have been hung in that
State by mobs within two or three
months-fourein Jackson. FIVE in Cedar
and one in Poweshiek counties. Gov
Grimes has ordered the sheriff of Clinton
county to serve the warrants 10 his
hands against the lynchers, and enforce
the laws with the whole force OF the
county. If that is not sufficient, more
will be furnished.
