hardly worthy Of tho consideration of an answer.

Miss Strickland, who gained much credit among u
last ye.r ~ an accomplished teacher and excellent dis
cipliAasiar, has jast opened a school in the room lately
occupied for that purpose, on Sixth street, near Brock
6ur;dge avenue. She purposes to receive but 8 limited
nunhsr Of scholars, and devote herself entirely 70 their
Improvement. Her terms are - . quarter, payable at
the middle of the quarter.
Aaoahsr sehoo! will be opened 0ext Monday, the 10Th
inst, il she building lately owned by George Stanley,
near Mr.. Rohertson'a rss;dence. Miss J. L. Mathew
son, lstely FROM New York State, will take charge Of it.
She is 3 young lady who brings the highest testimonial
with her a. an efficient teacher Of much experience.
Che intends to receive only about twenty scholars, at a
up already.
There are over q hundred children in tie town, racre
shan enough for two and even three teachers, and We
therefore think these ladies' must both dc we'll. Their
schools being At extreme po;ats, vii! give the greater
accommodation TO families. Our schools should be
handsomely sustained sad The teachers encouraged, that
We may have institution oflsassing that will be . credit
to ue at home and abroad. We have been too reniss
- this particular. A school such az is csumon il New
England towns not half the size of ours, would attrac.
mahy families 70 this place, not only among ~amigrants
but the residents of susl! places for miles around us,
who have great solicitude for the mental training OF
their children. We should therefore encourage the
present efforts, and go on improving such facilities.
We hope to see a first class free public school, amply
:arnished, established in this town before another year
