The above is addressed more es-
pecially to young ladies, but in the
same connection would it not be well
to add word to their parents. The
habit of sending girls away to school
prevails to great extent. The I'M
wisdom of so doing might be shown
in many ways had we the space to
do it. 1t would certainly be more
satisfactory for parents to have their
daughters educated under their own
supervision. 1t would be much
cheaper, consideration not to be
overlooked. The advantages are
about equal. The pleasant situation
of Morgantown gives ample oppor-
tunity for study. The mere main
tanning of such an institution in our
midst should be no small considera-
ton even if its advantages were ex-
celled Dy'otner SCHOOLS. Here under
the tutelage of Miss Susie Moore
most excellent instruction in music
may be had. This young lady is an
accomplished music scholar and has
the happy faculty of imparting her
knowledge to pupils.
The next session will begin early
in September, Let parents do their
duty by their daughters as well as
their sons. This county sends forty
or fifty students to the University
why should it not have as many girls

There are at least one hundred OF

who should be found in attendance
at the opening Of the next session.

The case of the black Edmund
Kinney and his white wife, who are
serving term in the Virginia peni-
Tertiary for getting married, has ex-
cited attention throughout the coun-
try; but every body is not aware that
Rhode Island, one of the New Eng
land States with large Republican
majority, has law on its statute
books prohibiting the intermarriage
of white and colored persons. The
law is not a dead letter, and arrests
have been made under it within a
few years past Some difficulty is
found, however, in enforcing the law,
as the burden rests upon the prose
cution of proving that the accus-
ed parties are respectively white and
colored, which it is hard to estab-
fish.
