On the northeast corner Of Secynd aud
Heron Streets there has been erected
very quietly. without any buster or
sound OF trumpets, a very handsome and
commodious school house, intended for
am Academy tor young ladies, having
IN addition preparatory department
Tor boys under nine years Of age
1t is two-story brick building, and
the style OF architecture is something
akin 10 the French RENAISSANCE. Ii
has front on Heiion Street of 50 feet
and extends north us feet on the east
side. On the west side. within an /.
stands the frame school house erected
by the Sisters some time since. The
frame has been reconstructed and they
are able 10 utilize it in connection with
the new building.
There are, all told, l5 rooms in the
new building and reoms in the old.
There is an excellent cellar beneath the
old building. On the first floor are two
fine large school rooms, each having a
capacity for seating comfortably 80
pupils.
on THE SECOND FLOOR,
which is approached by three substantial
and roomy stairways, are two school
rooms similar TO those OH the first floor.
and in addition there are three music
rooms, with folding doors. so that the
three rooms can be thrown into one
large one. Ii one part OF the building
can be said to be more pleasant and at
tractive than another, it is, perhaps, the
department where music ia taught.
Only one Sister at present has charge
lof this department, but we understand
that during the next session, which COM
nences in September, two will he en-
lployed. On this floor, also, are the DOR
Imitorics and inGtmary.
! The Academy seems TO be complete
in all its appointments, and specially
adapted TO the culture and care OF young
ladies. The building has a capacity for
200 pupils. and so Of them can be board
led. When the school is full there will
be employment for fifteen Sisters. On
the north OF the building, and within
the enclosure, is large space for recre-
alton in the open air. The building
was erected by the Sisters of Providencs.
with their own funds, at cost Of about
Sl5,O00, not including the ground.
Our reporter is under Obligations to
Father Peythieu for his kindness In con-
lucting him aboutthe building. Visitors
,lwho may wish TO look through the estab-
llishment will not only be impressed
with the excellence and general arrange
llment of this educational institution, but
.ithey will also be impressed with the un-
'latiected pleasure. politeness. courtesy

lceived. = Washington Democrat.

Mr.. William Sears brought TO our
Office on Tuesday last Il montrosity in
tho animal line that was a real curiosity.
1t was the twin of one of his sheep. Its
legs, from the knees down, resenbed
those Of pointer dog, having the spot
ted hair. The hoof was that OF sheep.
Its tail was like that of dog. IL had
no mouth. and its head at the apex was
slightly conical, with nose like fish
and cartilaginous substance around il
like the roo,er of hog. lis eyes were
similar to those of sheep, but close to-
gcther, and underneath in the angles o.
The jaw. The ears were on one side aud
Joined together. One of them was
large. and resembled dogs ear; the
other was small and irregular in shape.
The body was large aud similar to a
lamb. but naked Of hair or wool. Ii,
mate was perfect lamb. and is living
and doing well. Mr. Sears has pre-
served this montrosity. 1t isa curiosity
and j. well worth visit TO see it,

We hope the editor of the State
journal, will do theamcnde honorable,
by correcting its article in relation
to Hon. P. C. Eastham's votes in the
late impeachment trials. Mr. East
ham voted to impeach the State
Treasurer, and not against impeach-
ment, as the Journal intimates and
would have its readers believe. Nei-
ther is he political trickster, as the
Journal intimates, nor is he blinded
by political prejudices. When he
was elected to the Senate he received
larger vote than any other candi-
date on the ticket, who had opposi-
ton, which showed the high esteem
in which he was held by the people
of his Senatorial District.
