BRATTLEBoRo.-Tha under Dame Nature.
assisted by full corps Of the residents, this
place has been made peculiarly attractive, is
undeniablc. TO those who go hence on any err
rand and find in states however remote those
who speak Familiarity of Brattleboro and its
beauties, this is most apparent; while the num-
Der of those who come here every season, seek
:ng only their own greatest pleasure attest, the
same.
The fame of the natural attractions, together
with the enterprise of the inhabitants of this
place, may have influenced the directors Of the
American Institute of Instruction to hold then
annual meeting at Brattleboro this YEAR And
while Nature is not to be dstrusted in her full
contribution to the pleasure of those who shall
gather here on that occasion, we can but believe
that every reasonable effort will be made by ou
citizens for the entertainment of all who come
The later meetings of the Institute have beer
held in Rochester, n. Y, and Providence, II. l..

male teachers there will probably be no less il
number, but their accommodation is not pro
vided as in the other instance. While full re
lance is placed in the disposition of every fami
ly to do to the best of their ability all that ma
be required for the success of an occasion whicl
can but benefit any community that shall engag
in its exercises and cooperate in the furtheranc
of its plans, some systematic action must need
be taken in the matter Committees have beer
organized in each congregation throughout thu
town, under the direction of the several pastors
and these committees wiz wait upon all tn
families in their respective congregations to as
certain the number which can be accommodate
by each. This step must be taken at once, t.
allow time for subsequent arrangements, and W
hope to be able to note a cheerful response iron
the house-keepers of the place, as thus tn
pleasure of the whole affair may be assured
The sessions of the Institute commence OF
Wednesday, August Dist, and continue tire
days. Some of the best talent of the country
enlisted in the cause of popular education, i
represented in the list of lecturers.
