Notwithstanding the appearance Of cholera
here last Monday, and the aeprehensions felt
in the community Of another epidemic; the
money panici the unparalleled scarcity Of
greeE5acks, and the thousand other eanses
that operate against our edncational interests,
we have she pleasure Of announcing that the

ment of she accomplished hdy Brincipsl, Mrs.
&C. Tssshsart spsncd. last Msaazs with
over 6fyPupils, and all the classes .repssssn-
ted. Next week che number will swell 70
over one hundred. We have reason to be-
lieve that the representative men Of toe coun-
ty hive the interest Of this institution at
heart and will never cease their efforts to
build up a school here equal in the unmber
Of its patroas-as il is now equal in. the in
telligence and capacity Of It's faculty Ito any
in the State. An public spirited citizens
should become interested in, and patronize
the public scho0ls--foster and baild them up
for in the extent they do this, they weld the
mighiiest power in the formation Of fgeod soci-
ely and'ihe ennoblingof mankind. We have
no word Of discouragement to priaie schools.
They are good in their places, and oft times
better than the public schools, bat the fault
Is with the community. They fail to perform
their duiyfn supporting and encouraging the
pablo Institutions.
