When this unhappy Republic Of ours was

recession, GAINESVILLE was busy, thriving
place but just now. like Nashville. and all

"TaE SUBSCRIBER" would take occasion TO
remark, that CIarkzville can never become |
bankrupt from the pressure of the times. so
long as she has SO much Of Tennessee and
Kentucky to back her.
The most interesting f-ature of " THE SUB
scR1sER's'' stay in GAINESVILLE was his visit to
the Female Academy, justly the pride and
boast of the city, presided over with SO much
dignity and distinguished success by that true
Christian gentleman and finished scholar.
Rev. A. L. HAMILTON, D. D. By the energy.
enterprise, and skiIiful management of Dr..
HAMILTON, this school has grown with almost
unexampIed rapidity within The last few years,
and It's popularity and patronage are surpass-
ed by that of no other Institution of its kind
in the State. The original buildings were
found wholly inadequate to the wants of the
school, and elegant and imposing additions
have been made, at a cost of $40 900. afford
ing ample room and verge enough" for the
long array of youthful innocence and beauty
seeking there the blessings and benefits Of
education, both of mind and heart. e The |
SUBSCRIBER" was kindly shown through the
establishment by DR.. HAMILTON, and was
much struck wi b the extreme neatness, The
tasteful simplicity. and the quiet order which
reigned everywhere throughout the institu-
ticn, and not less so with the happy adapta- |
ton of the buildings IN all tbeir appointments |
to the purposes for which they were conStruc-
ted. 1t would, indeed. be difficult TO find |
school buildings anywhere arranged with |
more convenience.
