ST.. JOINS ACADEMY.-Mr. Richard H.
and popular institution, is just finishing the
improvements he has been making upon the
houses on Prince street, near Alfred, which
he recently purchased for the boarding depart
ment. Besides a comfortable, family resi-
dence, to which No. IT'S is entirely devoted,
he has fitted up No. 1T exclusively for the
use of the students. On the first floor, besides
a wide and airy hall, there is an Office and par
Tor for the boys, and the dining room. In the
second story, there are the study room, trunk
room, dressing room, and wash room; while
the entire third story is occupied by dormi'
tory, which for convenience and the means of
ventilation, is surpassed by few of our colleges.
The entire house is lighted with gas and sup
piled with hot and cold water, facilities for
bathing, &C., and for its size, is probably as
cor yenient and comfortable an establishment as
We have in the State We are pleased to
learn too that Mr.. Carne has already received
considerable return for his outlayi in increased
patronage from abroad, and We hope our
friends in the country will aid him and our
other teachers in restoring Alexandria to its old
reputation as an educational centre. Its well
known heathfulness its established reputa'
ton for morality, and its accessibility from all
quarters, render it peculiarly suitable for that
purpose, and we think all will find, on inves-
tigation, that their children can be educated in
few places as advantageously or at less cost.
