EDIToRs CLARION I'll regret the neeessi-
ty which requires the infietion OF my
personal matters upon the public attention.
do so, however, under the pardOnable
form OF an advertisement.
The impression exists, to some extent,
that am permanently engaged to represent
the interests of the University Series" of
school books, in this State. The fact that
have been rendered the care of old and
well established institutions of learning in
different portions OF the country, has crea-
ted the idea that am unsettled The con-
nection of my name with new enterprises
has produced similar result.
Allow me, gentlemen, TO say TO your read
ers and ito whom it may concern" that
engaged to work for the University Pub
fishing Company, during my current vaca-
tisn, and have been so engaged. have
notified the Company that my services will
close on. the 10th of next month.
During my absence from home, our Mr.
John NJ. Puttick has attended to the school
correspondence and to the repairs, prepare
tons, &C., required by the demands of the
session of the school, to begin on the LIST
Monday of October. After the 10th of Sep
TENDER / shall look after these things in
person.
1t is true that l have been honored by
offers from the authorities of institutions in
this and the adjoining States, but have
treated these manifestations OF confidence
and good will only with the consideration
due to the highly respectable sources from
which they emanated, and never intimated
any desire for these offers. / have met all
similar approaches from new enterprises In
the same manner. l have no obligation TO
keep me from my recitation room in Sum-
merville Institute, where / have spent
nineteen years of my life; and l shall be
there again on the LIST Monday of October,
prepared to enter upon the twentieth year
of my school, and upon the oath ofmy pro-
fessional life.
To all parties interested desire to state,
that they win serve me by correcting any
ment of this letter.
While am writing will add, that during
the nineteen years of the history of the
school, no session has been failure, and
more than half the time we have been una
BILE to receive all who desired to enter.
Over two thousand names are on our rolls,
and very few of our students have failed to
be credit to the school and to their parents.
We desire no large class in the fall. The
question of servants is q serious one, and
has induced us to receive only fifty boarders
in October. Over forty OF these are duly
and those who may wish the
advantages OF the associations and instruc-
tions to be had here, should address me
without delay.
I am gentlemen, your servant and the
public's obliged and
Obedient servant,

| 10 the Public:
The Trustees OF the Public Library OF
| kentucky being satisfied from the large
sale of tickets already made, and the daily
| increasing demand for them, that there will
be 10 occasion for postponing the second
drawing in the Gift Concert in aid of the
Public Library of Kentucky, have instruct
ed me, as their agent and manager of the
Gift Concert, to say to the public and tick
ct holders that the drawing will positively
take place on September 18th prox., and
will not be postponed. An active demand
tor tickets comes from every State and Ter
ritory of the United States, and from the
Canadas, giving assurance 10 the Trustees
that no circumstances can prevent draw
ing at the appointed time.
A sufficient clerical force is engaged to
keep up with the orders for tickets, and in
order that this Office may be relieved of the
immense pressure incident to the business
for the week or two Immediately preceding
the drawing. agents especially, and those
DESTROYS of procuring tickets are requested
to send in their orders Immediately, as sales
will have to be closed in time to make the
necessary preparations for the drawing. 1t
is the wish of the management to fill every
order for a ticket, as well as to sell all the
tickets, but those who apply first must be
supplied; and, if those who put of buying
until sales are closed, have their money re-
turned, instead of the tickets ordered, as in
the first Gift Concert in December last,
when thousands of dollars that came too
late were sent back, that they will have
none to blame but themselves.
