the hour Of retiring came too soon for
us. After Il delightful nights rest,
VIC arose in the morning, feeling great
ly refreshed, and after partakiny Of an
excellent meal were prepared for al
rothcr days work. We had travelled
but short distance when we came to
the residence of our friend Captain
L*"", who takes deep interest in the
cause of education and is exceedingly
anxious that the rising generation
shall receive that mental and moral
training SO essential for the good Of
our county and State. lie insisted on
our remaining until after dinner, say
ing that he would accompany us to the
the school presided over by Miss A.
Delighted ut the thought ofhaving such
excellent company, we dismountcd.
Having spent n couple OF hours very
pleasantly with our friend and his ac-
complished lady, we started on our
journey. We arrived in due time at
the school-house, located within two
or three miles of the Chester line. We
were under the impression it was
in Chester, and were fearful we were
trcspassing upon the ground of our old
friend j. Evins White, the present
Commissioner Of Chester county.
After our visit, seeing how well mat
tcrs were attended TO, We were de-
lighted to find it belonged to Fairfield.
There arc few better teachers than
Miss a., in our humble judgmc t.
From this point we retraccd our
steps, having in view another school
(colorcd) located on the roadside, but
as we hove in sight, we heard the
wcll-known words, "School is out,
but do not shout, ETC." We therefore
continued on our journey, and after
winding about considerably reached
tho house OF Friend w. b. E""**
thereby making good our promise that
we would certainly pay him a visit
when in that section Of country. SO
we'll pleased were we with our visit
that Friend T.. must not be surprised
If we call Oh him again. Another good
nights rest prepared us for the next
days work.
Near by is located the school Of Miss
e., who has quite flourishing school,
but miserable accommodations. Cam
not the patrons meet and have better
accommodation for both teacher and
pupils! Put up Il comfortable school
house, procure the necessary furniture,
and you will find your children will
make more rapid progress. The next
p acc VIC found oursclf at the residence
orr. E. B*$*, with whom we spent
the night. We enjoyed very much
the company ofFriend Is. and his good
lady, and were especially Interested in
the little B., who is certainly hard to
bent for good looks.
From this point we proceeded to the
Jackson's Creek school, W. j. X.
Principal, whom we found ut his post.
Friend *. understands his business
and discharges his duties faithfully
and conscicntiously. He has fine
school his pupils we'll drilled in
studies ami department. ''Thc right
man in tic right place." According
to promise, we spent the night with
a. H., Esq, and II pleasant time we
had: Should opportunity offer VIC

the company. We found catablcs in
profusion and served up in lie best
style. AS you occupied n seat at the
the same table you have some idea of
how the writer enjoyed The supper.
Everything passed of quietly. unsi the
fair was perfect success. We do not
Know the amount realized, but from
the manner in which the dimes were
thrown out, we imagine sum sutli-
cient to carry out the object for which
the fair was given. Well Messrs.
Editors, we are tired and know YOU
! are OF these dots, so VIC will close.
