County. Ohio, on
Monday, the 9Th day August, 1861,
Under the direction of VIM. WHEELER and
JOSEPH 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 men and women, designing to enter
the profession of teaching, can be thoroughly
qualified for the work. The various methods
of imparting instructions will be thoroughly
discussed, and the best methods carefully
pointed out.
It is also our design to make the ACADEMIC
department of the School inferior to none in
the State.
Maps, Globes, Chemical and Philosophical
apparatus, &c &c.,
Shall lend their aid to the illustration of the
vorious sciences; and thoroughness, the life
and soul of education, shall mark every step
of the students progress.
We have had under consideration various
points at which to locate our school, and have
chosen SUMMERFIELD, because,
1st. It is in a part of the State remote
from the Normal Schools of Lebanon and
Hopedale.
End. It is in the midst of an 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 its opposition to in
temperance.
Tuition for Term of Twelve Weeks, $500.
E No deduction except in case of pro
tracted sickness.

on Tuesday morning over a report that
Gov. Wise, with three thousand rebels,
had landed at Clarington, in Monroe

The Attack on Clarington.

To attempt to give any particulars or
any adequate description of the scenes
enacted during the day on which the news
was spread over the country that Claring-
ton was attacked by secessionists from over
the river would be altogether useless. The
number Of the secessionists and the amount
of people murdered by them as the rumor
dew on the wings Of the wind was magri-
liod to most horrible proportions. The
sunsr travelled ell over the counties of
Monroe, Noble and the greater part of
Belmont and was telegraphed to Colum-
bus and Bellair. At Bellair there were
three regiments who sigui6ed their willing>
ness TO depart Immediately for the seat of
war as soon as they we're informed where
the seat of war could be found. When the
news reached Woodsfeld (and it came by
= reliable messenger. the number of seces.
sionists,was 800 and the number of people
alrsady killed was so. When the report
got as far as Summerfeld the secesslonists
numbered 1000 From all We can learn
Of the affair, if the rumor had been true
atleast 5000 men beside the three regi-
ments from Beliair would have been on
hand to welcome the secessionists, and the
welcome would have been SO warm, that
very fev of them would have gone back
70 Virginia again. About the most ludic-
rous report, among the hundreds that were
circulated, was that Gov. Dennison, anti
cipating the attack, was seen riding
shrough Noble county at full speed rallying
the people and calling upon them to turn
cut. One man actually saw the Governor
~ be rode by. and says he seemed very
much excited. The affair has demonstra-
ted this fact; that If an invasion should
oceur (of which there is not the slightest
probability that the invaders will discover
that It Is about as unwholesome business
as they could be engaged in.
