S@- We are truly gratiied to be able to
chronicle a continued prosperity in the
Female Academy, under the charge of DR..
Hamilton. We have heard from the pu-
pills boarding at the Institution, express
ions of unqualified satisfaction, so far as
they are concerned, and those who are
only day-pupils fully participate in this
sentiment. They say that they feel as il
the Academy were indeed their home, Sc
fully are all their wants met, and so kind
is the discipline of the school. That dis
cipline while it aims at, and effectually
secures, that subordination without which
the school-governmcnt would be mere
farce, is yet based on those principles OF
Kindness and moral suason that tender
cheerful obedience to it real pleasure
There arc now in the Institution over one
hundred and sixty pupils, some sixty Of
whom arc boarders, and there are still
every week, acccssions to the number.
Clarksvillc may well be proud Of thi:
school, and we'll may We all labor to foster
and cherish it,

Council, have adopted an ordinance, pre-
ssntcd by Aid. Williams, providing for

The ordinance further provides, that an

A subscription book is to be opened

and Whenever such a sum as they shall
think adequate to the purpose shall be
subscribed, then said sum is to be applied,
under the direction of a joint committee

An Eastern editor sNys that man got hmse II
into trouble by marrying two wives. Western
editor replies, by assuring his contemporary that
good many men in that section have done the
same thing by marrying ono. Northern editor
retorts, quite number Of his acQuaintances found
trouble enough by merely promising to marry,
with out going any further. A Southern editor
says that a friend Of his was bothered enough by
simply being found in company with another
name wife.
We have known a good many men in
this community, to get into trouble by
merely looking at another mans 'cye.-
And as for ourself, we have got into troub'
lie enough by falling in love with pretty
young lady, that is no mans wife at all.

n@. Many Of our citizens attended the
late Agricultural and Mechanical Fair at
Hopkinsville, and express the highest graf
ifcation from their visit. The attendance
at the fair was very large, and everything
passed off in the finest style.
Among the notable sights was that of
ten brothers, all fine looking men, dressed
in uniform, and mounted on grey horses,
who appeared in the ring of the amphi-
theaterI The mother of these ten broth
ers (Mrs. Browu,) was present, and to her
was awarded silver cup-premium for
the best specimen of home manufacture!

legations to those who have favored us with
their patronage, it is needless to disguise
the fact, that our paper can not fairly rep

the citizens Of both enable us, by their
liberality and enlightened self-interest, to
fit up our Office with such material as is
indispensable to neatness and dispatch in

means, we must rely upon the liberality
of public abundantly able-if willing
