of taste and means; and subsequently much en-.
larged by the "WoOdburn" association The
grounds include more than % acres, tastefully
laid out that part not in cultivation being orna-
mented with forest and fruit trees, beautiful
shrubbery, flowers, etc. Secondly, the ACADEMY
large and substantial building, conveniently
arranged for study, recitation and lecture, and
surrounded with ample grounds, shade trees,
etc. Both of the above have been thoroughly
renovated and made as good as new.
g. MoRGANTowN, the seat Of the College, is
unsurpassed for health, good order, and mOrali
ty. The views and scenery, embracing noun
tain, river, forests and farms are exceedingly at
tractive and picturesque. Coaches leave every
morning TO and from Fairmont, on the BALTIC &
o. X. r. There is daily communication, by
steamboat, between Pittsburg aud Geneva, l.
miles below Morgant0wn. A boat Is being built
to ply regularly on the upper Msnongahela as
often as the stage of water will permit. which Is
usually several months in the year. There is
also conveyance, on alternate days, between
MorgsntOwn and UniOntown, Pa. A place more

science and literature is no where to be found.
