ALBANY.

School dictrict No. 2 Center is CIV
ling its house of instruction thorough
course of repairs Messrs Madison and
Jefferson Cowles, principals, w. K. An
mis- Jr assistant. 1t bids fair to be
very neat and commodious establishment
at the completion of the course.
We think the people of Albany and
vicinity will be pleased to learn that
Mr.. Madison Cowles of the West village,
we'll known as first class practical
house carpenter has provided himself
with complete and fine assortment of
coffin trimmings, and is now ready to
manufacture collins of the best and latest
styles and at very moderate prices. Mr..
Cowles has taken considerable pains to
post himself in regard to the most ap-
proved styles, and now feels confident
that he can do work in a manner and at
prices such as to satisfy all who may
have occasion to give him a trial. We
feel that hereby is supplied want which
the people of this vicinity have long felt,
for hitherto we have been obliged how
ever pressing the circumstances, to 60
some distance out of town for collins,
and still further, sometimes to pay ex-
orbitant prices. We are glad Mr. Cowles
has concluded to supply this want and
we cheerfully recommend him to all who
may have occasion to patronize him in
this branch of his business.
Mr.. EDITOR Never having stepped
upon the "Woman's Rights platform,
l have ever conceded to my husband the
right of subscription for whatever paper
best conceded with his taste and politi-
cal opinions, and for period of more than
thirty years the Boston Journal has
been one of his Preside companions

lack of ample means and time to read
all the papers we might choose, | have

the thoughts which have revolved in my
own mind times without number, that
have ever since felt an almost irrepressi
BILE inclination to send you my hearty in
dorsement of the same.
Of my "two precious sons the frs
went to an early grave. The last, in tn
pride of his strength, of his manhood
and the integrity of his heart, went fortl
to battle against treason most foul, op
preston most Remembering, and to sea
with his life-blood his devotion to tn
doctrine of Liberty and Equal Rights
Can l ever forget the anguish of tina
hour when lie said to me, Mother, ar

emphatically the hope of our old age
for it was to him alone we felt we had
right to look as the earthly stay and sta
of our declining years. But l had Ii
bored through all his juvenile years t
impress upon his heart the necessity {

Co1ld now stand between him and tn
service he felt he owed his country an
his God? Long time had prayed fc
spirit of submission and perfect trus
in God, and sought to consecrate my a

faith tested
He went; and heaven was very mere
full in permitting him to fall in bait
rather than endure the lingering to
lures of those inhuman rebel slaught
pens instituted by Jeff Davis and h
compeers, and in effect subsequently a

But by what mesmeric influences; |

Southern domination so large a prop

lie to the assertion that they were &C

ity.
