About five O'Clock last Sunday evening we
were threatened with . storm. and from the
roaring Of the wind and thunder 1t seemed
as II it was just about to break loose in all
its fury. The storm cloud passed to the
northwest, however, and no harm was done.
About forty or fifty. persons went to ths

The male academy building to be erected
for Dir. Hobson is not to be . very large or
elaborate building at present. We say this
because OF the fear, by friends OF the enter
prise, that false and exaggerated expecta-
tions have been raised regarding it. The
building will be ample for all necessities, and
will cost some three thousand dollars. 1t will,

At least two professors will be engaged IN
the work, which will be NJ thorough as
though the most expensive and elaborate
buildings should be erected. AS the school
grows the buildings will be enlarged, for
which purpose there will be NO difficulty
whatever In q money point Of view. We
have long needed such an institution. A
good school for boys and youths is demand-
ed by the surrounding country. TO secure
1t, all that is necessary is that parents shall
patroniZe 1t. Mr.. Hobson Is q thorough
regarding morals and religion, an energetic,
sctive, ambitious young man, who has
chosen the vocation OF teaching as his life

son why the young men OF tue vicinity

The ladies OF the Episcopal church, In this
| city, generally do whatever they attempt,
| well. Like all OF the gentlsr sex they have
poetry In their souls, aud their minds nat
uralIy tend toward the aesthetic. To be .
woman is to be poetry. From her gentle
heart the pursst impulses spring. Beauty OF
feeling Is supplemented with beauty OF
| thought, and of the two is born tho bxbe-
love, the tiny god whose quiyer contains the
arrows which pierce the heart Of man aud
ill him with scststic pain. While sn is
beauty In the female breast there turks about
her mind some subtlety. She loves the
gentle, the pure she adores tho brave. the
active, the strOng-sll these In intensified
degree when found in-msn. Her subtlety
Is displayed when, dealing with this apo.
theOsls Of her brain, she seeks his heart, as
Bulwer yulgarly says, through his stomach.

tiOn knowing the weakness OF the stronger
sex, have concluded, as the bslmy zsphyrs
are so pleasant these soft aud fragrant eve

berries and cream. True to their innst,
poetic inspirations, that the grosssr appetite
may not alone be gratitisd, they will have
