 A writer in the N. 0. Picayune, thus truthfuIly speaks of the schools at Monticelo:
 " The most interesting feature, however to a man with large family, and seeking a future home, is the schools. There are two schools-the one male academy, under Prof. J. w. Barrow, late of your State, and the other the Monticello Female College, under the presidency of Prof Allen M. Scott, who is extensively known as the author of two three educational works, and also one of the best scholars and most successful teachers of the south.
 The schools had their examination last week, the two occupying week, part of which time was present. In the male school there were about sixty six students in the female, about one hundred. The female college is a new and ele- gant building, erected within year past and this session was the first It is the most propitious beginning ever knew. It is now exciting great deal of attention in surrounding sections, and many of the wealthy are selecting homes and rearing up beautiful residences in or near this thriving town, for the sake of the schools and ex- cetlent society found there. They need college boarding house, and one could do an extensive business. The trustees and the president seeking for a suitable man to conduct the boarding department.
