that Lord Derby, if beaten on any important

Esteemed Friend The Rockville jour

quoted from it in the Gazette of this morn
ing, in regard to my moving my Boarding
School to Sandy Spring. The present will
make forty years that have been closely
engaged in the arduous and responsible tu-
siuess Of the instruction and guardianship OF
youth, and owing to declining health, have
decided, with The close of the current School
Term. which will lie the last Of the ensuing
month, to discontinue the vocation in which
| have been so long engaged, and endeavour
to spend the very brief period which in the
course of nature remains to me, with less
mental engrossment and care. L shall pro-
badly remove to my farm at Sandy Spring,
as nv children are settled in that neighbour
hood, but not to teach. Were | to continue
in that business, il would be in Alexandria.
The mistake Of the Journal | have no
doubt, has arisen from the fac; that my SON
in.law, Francis Miller, who has been for
several years my partner 10 the duties ot
this establishment, is erecting buildings at
Sandy Spring, ID which he contemplatcs
