Letter from B,peegae.--A cores.
pondent writes: The very accomplished,
energetic aud heightened teacher, Mrs.
| Il. 0. Norris, at this place, who has had
thirty years experience as teacher, is
certainly deserving a great deal of
praise, and would beg Of you to insert
these few lines in your very useful pa.
per- Mrs. Norris has at this time sixty
two scholars in attendance, all Of whom
are improving rapidly, under her skill
full management. In connection with
her day school, she has a spelling school
every Friday night, which is always
very largely attended, BY both old and
young, aud | am happy to say the order
kept is equal to that of house of
Worship.
Last evening, the 29th instant, DR..
NJ. A. Lauver made some brief aud
very pointed remarks on Education.
A number Of young ladies and gentle.
men also favored US with the reading Of
several pieces, selected from the works
| ofour most able authors, which received
marked attention. There we're at least
one hundred spectators present.
| Aduertisements.--Too little attention
is paid by many selling farm stock and
real estate to advertising thoroughly.
To save several dollars, hundreds Of
dollars are lost. Drawing crowd from
all sections may bring you additional
bidders for each article, which 10 the
sale Of house, acre Of land, horse COW,
DC, may amount to from one to ten
dollars on each, and on smaller matters
smaller amounts might, in the aggre.
gate, net large sum, paying ten times
for all the printing. The large cireula.
ton Of the ADVOCATE. enables the ad.
yertiser to reach every section of the
county, and many who never get to see
ordinary bills. The object of advertis-
Ing is to attract attention, and he who
fails to advertise his goods fully to save
few dollars, acts on the .'peuny wise,
pound foolish principle.
A Naisanes.-Fora some time past the
platform at the Depot has been so crowded
by boys that it is with great difficulty
passengers are able to leave or approach
the trains, and by some miraculous TO-.
terposition Of Providence they have
been prevented from being crushed
under tho wheels Of the cars. This
thing has gone en- to such un extent
that unless the parents or guardians
interfere the Railroad Officials will be
compelled to take the matter 10 hand
and use harsh means to prevent persons
