Schools.

The Piedmont Lntellsgencer, published in Char
lottesvle, after expressing wonder that the
schools there are not as FURNISHING as they
should be, says:
"We have come to the conclusion that these
schools are losing ground because others are dis
placing them. And this not by superior in
struction or cheaper tuition but by greater en-
ergy and activity. There are large female
schools in the State which have been made by
liberal advertising through the newspapers and
by means Of circulars scattered throughout the
Southern States The Staunton schools are
the most fourishing in the State, and we ven
ture to say that they have long before this sent
out their circulars by thousands and that their
catalogues can be seen in the reading rooms of
every one of the noted Springs in the State. -
During the travelling season you will frequent
ly find them on the cars and in hotel parlors-
And this way of engaging public notice, to-
gether with a complete system of instruction
and good teachers, has built up these schools
and will establish those which will start with
the coming session.

26 years, after an illness protracted thro' several
years, which he bore with the most manly
