under the direction of WIN. WHEELER and
J. C, CLARK.
In view of the growing demand for trained
and competent teachers, we have determined
to establish, in this part of the State, school
wherein young men and women, designing to
enter the profession of teaching, can be thor
oughly qualified for the work. The various
methods of imparting instruction will be thor
oughly discussed, and the best methods care
fully pointed out.
1t is also our design to make the Academic
department of the school inferior to none in
the State. Maps, Charts. Globes, Chemical and
Philosophical Apparatus, &C., &c, shall lend
their aid in the illustration of the various
sciences; and horoughness, the life and soul
of education shall mark every step of the stu
dents progress.
We have had under consideration various
points at which to locate our school, and have
| chosen SumnrerJfeld, because:
| 1st. 1t is in part of the State remote from
the Normal Schools of Lebanon and Hopedale.
End. 1t is in the midst of enterprising
and wealthy people, who are able and willing
to educate their sons and daughters.
3rd. 1t has always been noted for its NOR
ality, and especially for it's opposition to in
temperance. ~

A HANDSOME DoSATIoN.-The Congregational
Society of Emporia. received last Saturday, from
the hand of Rev. Isaac Lahgworthy, Secretary of
the American Congregational Union, of Chelsea
Mass, the sum of $500 private subscription
to aid IN the erection of their house of worship at
this place. We learn from Mr.. Morse, the pastor,
that nearly SIS besides has been received from
Eastern friends for the same purpose, and that
other sums promised. These donations are
not only very acceptable to the Society Just now,
but are, regarded as q benefit to the commu-
nifty at large who feel deep interest in the estab
lishment and support of this church. It is ex-
pected that the neat and commodious edifce now
begun will be completed early in June.

speak as though all depended upon the ad-

are not admitted it is morally certain that

rendered to weaken the prospect of our get

The Topeka Record of the l4th says
that the u. s. Senate, on the 10th inst, de-
feated the House Homestead Bill. The
Leavenworth dailies of last week brought
us no such news, and we are in hopes there
may be some mistake about it.
There is a rumor to the effect that the
Senate amended the House Bill, passed it,
and that the bill as amended was now re-
ceiving the consideration of the House,
We hope for the best-but fear the worst.
The Homestead Bill is one of the most just
and bene6cent measures Of the age, and
it seems 10 US almost incredible that the U.
S. Senate should dare to defeat it. We
shall have more definite news by our mex,
