OWensVllle High School.

We, the Board of Education for the
current year, were highly pleased with
the examination of the OWensville
High School, which commenced on
Thursday, November 9th, and closed
Friday evening following. The ex-
animation, throughout, satisfied US
that Prof. A. NJ. Bryant is not
novice in his profession, but master
of his calling. With such coadjutors
as Mrs. Kate FL. Comrie, In the Inter
mediate, and Miss Lutte Mathews, in
the Primary Departments, there is no
telling to what eminence the ORens-
vile High School will attain. We
are already proud, and we think, just
~, of the enviable position it now &C.
cupies among first class schools.
In all the departments. the students
were examined without any previous
knowledge of what their several ex-
ercises would be, and the correctness
with which they answered was proof
positive that there had been no collus-
sion between Professor and student.
We take this occasion to bear testi-
mony to the Christian character of
the deservedly popular Professor of
our school. and promise him our
| hearty cooperation in his efforts to
build up the school. And to those
who are DESTROYS of al education, we
would say, that you cannot do better
than to matriculate in the Owensville
High School, at its next term, which
commences December the 9TH, 1870.

Editors Journal:
DEAR SIRs: Union Christian Col
lege. located at Merom, Sullivan
County, Indiana, is an institution of
| the first class; and, although the
youngest of Indiana colleges, has al
ready taken high rank among them.
| Its endowment is over one hundred
thousand dollars, its course of study
equal to that of any other college in
the land, its Faculty consists of the
! President and four Professors-all
| thorough scholars and experienced,
successful teachers, it's text books are
the best in the market, and its meth
DDS of instruction are the most an.
proved. Ladies pursue the same
courses of study, are subject to the
same regulations, enjoy the same priv
ileges, and receive the same honors
as gentlemen. Soldiers, who were
disabled in the defense of our gov
eminent during the late rebellion,
are instructed free of charge. About
one hundred students have been in
attendance during the Fall term.
which closes Wednesday, December
9TH, and much larger number is
expected during the Winter. The
Winter term viii commence Dece n
Der 14th.
In addition to the merits of the
college, the town of Merom is one of
the most beautiful and attractive in
the world. 1t stands upon a bluff,
one hundred and seventy feet above
the Wabash, and, from the eupola OF
the stately college edifce, the eve
sweeps over an area of nearly, perhaps
quite, one thousand square miles.
During the hot weather experienced
last July and August, some of the
citizens OF Evansville, desiring a quiet
retreat from the heat and hustle OF
the city, spent several weeks al
merom, IN most agreeable
and satisfactory manner. The or
der, quiet, and morals of the
place are seldom equaled; for neither
grogshops, gambling saloon or "rowdy
corners" can be found to dissipate the
minds and corrupt the morals OF
either student or citizen, while two
fourishing churches unite their infu
ence to spread truth and promote
righteousness.
We are sure that the citizens OF
Southern Indiana, Kentucky and Hi.
nois will find it greatly to their ad.
vantage to patronize this institution,
