BLooMINdBURd AoADEMY,--The
present session ofthe Bloomingbure
Academy closes on the last Friday
Of this month. The number Of stu
dents is greater than at any preyi'
Gus session, and its prospects are
encouraging for the future.
The Adelphian Society have just
placed a large and beautiful Book
Case in their Hall. The first vol
ume donated was "The Life Of Abra-
ham Lincoln" by Col. Garis. A
very appropriate book for No. l, in
the Library. Hon, r. W. Clarke,
M. G., has sent valuable public Doc
uments to the Society and has prom
ised his only spare copy of the
Coast Survey.
The Apparatus furnished last Fall,
and made expressly for the Acade-
my on the most improved models, is
now arriving.
1t was delayed on the part Of the
Manufacturers on account Of the
difficulty in procuring competent
artizans. 1t was not in any respect
the fault Of the Directors of the In
stitution who had paid for it, with
the express understanding that it
should be forwarded in two or three
months from August last.
The Mathematical Apparatus, in
Guiding a first class Transit, was
obtained last Fall.
In the Music Department four
Pianos and an Organ are in con
slant use.
The administration Of all De
partments is efficient, and on lib
eral scale; and those seeking al
place to study, can find no school
combining so many advantages as
Bloomingburg Academy.
The next session begins on Mon
day, the 1st of April, at which time
classes are to be organized, and
hence the importance of prompt
entrance.

EDIToR HERALD:-In looking over the

ging Eber and Harker Allen with that

ard, our entire stock in the draying and
carting business, and all thereto pertain
ing; but as to either of the gentlemen in
terrogating either of lis on the subject of
any future employment, is utterly untrue,
and false and malignant in its character,
and would need better confirmation than
either of them to make an intelligent pub
lie believe that we were so foolish in our
everyday's transactions as to debar om-
selves Of the rights vested in all good
meaning men. They may both be good
meaning men, but they have a mighty bad
way of showing their hand in the outset.
The citizens of Washington know both of
us too well to even entertain a suspicion
of our characters for truth and veracity -
We have been with them for the last four
wears, and they have sustained us under
all circumstances; and by close attention
to our business in the future, we hope to
merit liberal share of their patronage.
EBER ALLEN,
HAPKER ALLEN.
