be- The next session of the GAINESVILLE Female
Academy will commence on the 6th inst. We arc
truly gratifed to inform readers, and the many
warm friends Of the Academy, that the future
Of this Institution is bright and cheering. Every
thing has moved on tremendously, and to the entire
satisfaction Of ALL during the past session. But one
thing, TO our knowledge, has occurred to mar the
almost undisturbed quiet of the schoolond that Is
the death of one lovely and interesting pupil, Miss
Emma Alley, who died Of Scarlet Fever. And in
this connection We will state that this is the only
case of Scarlet Fever that has occurred amongst the
one hundred inmates OF the Institution. And when
wo consider the large number congregated there,
speaks voumrs for the strict regard TO the health OF
the inmates. Cleanliness, neatness and comfort
prsvades the entire building. The President, with
watchful eye assisted by an amiablc and accom-
plished housekeepr, vigilant regard to health
Of all There is not case of any kind of sickness
there at present.
We hope that with able teachers SOUND moral
trimming, and a strict regard for the health and COM
fort Of pupilsto be found at the Academy, that the
number may be doubled next session
