West Nottingham Academy.

Just at this time, when move is being
made by number of citizens of Port
Deposit to withdraw part of the State allow
aimee from this institution, the following
extract from the History of the " Lives of the
Signcrs Of the Declaration Of Independence"
will be read with interest:
"Bcniamin Rush was born on the 9th of
December 1745, in the Township of Byberry,
fourteen miles northeast Of Philadelphia.
The father Of young Rush died when he was
six years OF age. The care of his education,
therefore, dcvolved upon his mother, who
well understood the Importance of knowledge,
and early took measures to give her son
liberal education.
Young Rush was sent to the academy at
Nottingham, in Maryland. This academy had
long been conducted with great reputation
by the Rev. DR.. Finlay, afterwards President
OF Princeton College, New Jersey.
Under the care of this excellent man, and
among the people of Nottingham, who were
remarkable for their simplicity, industry,
morality and religion, Rush spent five years
in acquiring knowledge Of the Greek and
Latin languages. In this retired spot, and at
this carly age, he is said to have been deeply
impressed with reverence for religion, with
the Importance OF a regular life, and Of dill.
gence, industry, and punctual attention to
business, and in general of such steady habits
as stamped value on his character through
life. After finishing his preparatory studies
at Nottingham, he was entered, in 1853, a
student in the College at Princeton, then
under the superintendent of President
Davies. Such had been his progress in his
classical studies at Nottingham, that he OBJ
tanned the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in 1850,
and before he had completed his fifteenth
years
Viewing this Institution from the above
period down to the present time, there is no
one ofthe kind that has done mole service in
the cause of education than West Nottingham
Academy. A SUBSCRIBER.

1910.


Twenty years have passed since the great
Presidential campaign of 1910, and many of
the prominent actors in that period of excite
ment have passed away. Among the great
orators, of the day, Preston, Prentiss, Merri-
fer aud Clayton have gone; Crittenden
remains. Henry A. Wise, who gave the
sentiment, 6. Union of the Wings for the sake
of the Union," has become a democratic
champion-an aspirant for the presidency;
has written letter secretly countenancing
trickcry to cheat his own palty-has become
great military man, and talks of invading
Canada-ncver hear the democrats speak of
him now in connection with the death of
Cilley-" circumstances alter cases.'' Many
of the great Statesmen who were then the
pride of the nation have disappeared, Clay,
Adams, Webster, Calhoun, jackson, Benton
arc gone, and the Public Councils are in the
hands Of inferior men, notwithstanding the
progressive age. Harrison survived his tri-
umphant election but a short time; Tyler
proved recreant to his trust, and has gone
into obscurty.
when log cabins, hard cider, and live coons
were significant cmblcms of success; then
too was seen the inverted martin box, with
the inscription :: &c Conc Martini A minuia-
ture log cabin was in the procession, with q
long string hanging from the latch OF the
door, to indicate the hospitality Of old Tip
pecanoe, who said "you will never find my
door atched and the string pulled in.''
How soon these twenty years have passed
away. The songs are still sounding in our
ears:
"Come all We young Wings of Ohio,
And all yc sick democrats too
John C. Calhoun my Jo John,
III sorry for your fate
The democrats quailed before The music and
were represented as the characters named by
Shakespeare, "who had no music in them
Selves" and consequently were fit for " trea-
son, stratcgcms and spoils,' hence called the
spoils rarty.'' That great party is now
broken in fragments, and We see them unite
for Speaker in Congress on one whom they
formerly denounced as a British Whig.''-
How the mighty are fallen!
Twenty years have made great changes in
this county; and we are forcibly reminded
OF the transitory nature Of human Affairs
The log cabin is lost in the improvements OF
" The Hollow" and the songster, John
Myers, has ceased his ministrelSy-the old
landmarks are gradually disappearing, and a
new generation is on the stage.
