promise made you sometime since, send
you n few lies concerning our village
and its various institutions Of learning,
believing that your general readers take
an interest in the subject Of education
and advancement of science.
Poland, is already pretty extensively
known for the indefatigable energy AMI
earnest perseverance with which its
citizens have brought into existence and
supported its numerous schools; and the
kindness with which they have received
those who have cometo s%ojouIn for a time
with them; the generous hearted welcome
with which they have greeted them at
their iresides, will be treasured 10 many
a students, heart, never, TO be effaced.-
Aud now after two years sci urn in Pc.
land, We do not bel eve there is a village
in Ohio, where the literary characte r
of its inhabitants and their high toned
morals, taught both By Precept and ez
ample. is SO well qualified for a student
10 acquire an education, as this.
The spring tenn of the Presbyterian
school closes on Friday, the 81 day OF
July. This school. which has now been
in existence about eight years, has al
ways received q liberal patronage, and
We believe it is now under the manage
Of as fine corps OF teachers, with the
Rev. MeMaster as Principal. as any in
stitution in the country.
The Methodist school closes on the
same day, with public examination.
This school is now held in the building
designed as the future Female College.
This College We learn will soon be en-
dowed, and if the present plan of the
institution is carried out, it will give to
females the opportunity CT a thorough
collegiate course asserting. and maintain-
ing the principle that the mind of wo-
man is capable of as great and as high
attaiumc nts, as that of man.
The Spring term of the Ohio Sta te
and Union Law College, closes on Tues
day Of next week, with mock trials
the evening before, public examina-
lion during the day, AMI another trial
in the evening. In accordance with the
law passed a year ago last winter. a
committee was appointed by the District
Court, consisting OF R. J. Powers and F.
E. Hutchins, of Youngstown, Messrs.
ellison, Edwards, and Judge Newton,
of Garfield, to attend the commencement
examination of this institution and to give
certificates to those having the requisite
qualifications. and on the presentation of
said certifcatest to the district or supreme
Court, the holder is entitled TO admission
to the bar without further examination.
And now to quote a little from the cir
cular will give you a better idea of the
modus operGaai of this institution tina
any language in which l can clo;he it.
"Our object is threefoid, TO make the
student an accomplished thorough legal
scholar; an experienced familiar prac.
%titioner and an easv, fluent, correct, ex-
temPoraneous speaker. To accomplish
the first, We have critical, elaborate dai-

have frequent exercise in the trial and
argument of causes, AMI in all business

my humble opinion the great advantage
this institution presents to the student Of
law over every other mode, is that it
gives to the student the power of IN easy,

of the profession in which office stu tents

upon which in a great measure depends
