Our Female Institute.

We invite the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of this school
found III another place of this issue
The many gentlemen who testify so un.
rcscrvcdly to the merits of the school,
speak whereof they know, and theil
opinions are entitled to much weight
We 60 not hesitate to add our endorse
ment OF what they have so well said
and therefore take pleasure in com.
mending the school to all having daugh.
ters to educate. Knowing Mr.. TelfOrd
the Principal, rs we do, rs Il man of the
most scrupulous regard for what is
right and proper in all things, we feel
assured that he will not tolerate inef.
liciency in his teachers or imperfect
work in his pupils in any department
OF the school, but will require both
teachers and pupils to put forth their
best efforts to the end that the very
best results may be attained The
school is growing rapidly, not only in
the number of its patrons, but in the
good will and confidence of all. Mr..
Telford informs us that the prospect
for large attendance next session is
very encouraging. Already most of
the rooms have been taken, and it seems
probable now that there will not be
room in the buildings to accommodate
all applicants. There will be no trou.
BILE, however, in obtaining board in the
best families of the town should the
Institute buildings be inadquate to
their accommodation. The next ses.
sion opens on the 4th proximo.

REV. j. NJ. SLOAN will open school
Tor boys here in Lewisburg on the 10th
OF September, as may be seen by his adj
VertiSement in another place. Mr..
Sloan is well known to the people of all
the Southern portion of this State as a
man in every way worthy of the fullest
confidence, and we have no doubt that
he will render the same conscientious
and efficient service in the school-room
That he has always rendered in the puI-
pit. When we state the fact that Mr..
Sloan is a distinguished graduate of
the University of Mississippi at Ok
ford, there can be no question of his
scholarship and knowing him to be a
man of literary taste and requirement
we feel that we can unhesitatingly in
dorse the school and assure all patrons
OF 1t that their sons will be carefully
trained and faithfully and properly
taught. Already, as we are informed
he has Is or 20 students engaged.

the most remarkable achievement of the
season is Rusies feat Of shutting
out the heavy hitting Chicagoa twice

big Hoosier retired Anson's men without
a run, while the New Yorks rolled up
eight, and yesterday he repeated the
trick, although under much more trying
conditions Chicsgos defeat put Anson In
