Shall We Have Il Select School!

Upon all questions relating to the
advancement and prosperity Of Me
chanicstown, the influence of the CLA-
RIoN has been most potential and
your reference sometime ago to the
want of select classical school in this
place deserves the favorable conside-
ration of every citizen. And as an
offer is now made by a gentleman
from Baltimore, (prof. HEWITT, who
is in every respect qualified to con-
duct such q school, it becomes the
people to take prompt action and not
permit such an opportunity to be
thrown away. The wants of the peo-
pie, the season Of the Year and above
all the high reputation of the Profess
sor and his Lady in the art Of teach
ing, all combine to render the present
a most propitious occasion for giving
encouragement to such an enterprise
He asks no definite pledges from the
people, but is willing to rely upon
the satisfaction he will give as his
hope Of ultimate success. 1t is under
stood that q number of students from
the city will follow him here if things
can be made to work satisfactorily in
the way of boarding, sc.
Some persons argue that their chill
dren are we'll provided for in the pri-
mary schools, and to open a select
school would interfere with the pri-
mary. This is mistake. Instead of
impairing it will promote the efficiency
of the latter. 1t is well understood
that through the energy of Mr.. +.
White, the commissioner from this
District, and the teachers employed
by him, the schools have attained to
a degree Of perfection not surpassed
by any District in the State; and it
is also we'll known, to tho teachers at
least, that there are more or less pu-

4 ehiisFrc7t'S Meeting.

CEEAGEEsTowN, Nh, Aug. 81.
Mr.. EpIEoE - According to re-
quest rs we'll as promise, this morning
| will try to write a few lines for Your
paper, During the Camp that was
held near the above named place,
which commenced on the 2Sth of July,
ana closed on the Sd Of August, we
held q Children $ Meeting in the tent
ed grove, which proved to be very
interesting. According to arrange
mont4 the children Of five or six Sab
bath Schools met about a quarter of a
mile from the camp ground, each
school having its officers with it,
formed themselves in a procession and
marched to the grove. There wera
near three hundred in the procession.
After the procession entered the grove
it reformed itself and marched to
the place prepared for them, singing.
The sight was grand After the
schools were seated the exercises
opened with prayer by Elder Look
lngblll, followed by singing. Then
there was six or seven short addresses
delivered by the ministers who We're
present, and very appropriate piece
of music sung to each address. We
also had the pleasure Of having our
much esteemed friend CREEGER with
us upon the occasion. He addressed
the children very beautifully. The
singing was not only good, but it was
sweet. The behavior during the en-
tire encampment was very good
Truly this community is worthy to be
praised for the great respect it has for
divine worship. | can truly say that
| never attended a meeting in grove
where there was better order than at
this meeting. And oh how we'll it
speaks for Il community when persons
can 60 away, and that for many miles,
and say that that community is
pious one. There was a number of
conversions during the meeting. |
will now stop my pen for the present,
promising more in the future if | am
spared. Respectfully yours

KIT CARSON.

There is scarcely a boy in the land
Who has not heard of this hero, and
many a bovish heart thrills at the
mention of his name. 10 many read
crs we think Il few particulars about
Kit will prove interesting.
In person, Kit Carson was remark
able not being more than five feet
four inches high, with a long body
and legs so bowed that have never
seen them resembled, except in jock
eys, who have been such from child
hood. His head and face once seen
could never be forgottcn-long thin
hair reached to his shoulders, sparsely
covering a broad, high Uranium fore
head, round and broad, above small,
keen, bright eyes, let deep in a broad,
tlattish face, gave you the impression
of a man whose wits We're in careful
training, and who objected, both by
instinct and education to deceive or
being deceived. ! have often been
smiled at as fanciful for remarking a
resemblance between Chris North OF
Blackwood and Chris Carson; yet ii
was very plain to me, despite the evl-
dent difference, and The knowledge
that North was a giant in person and
