A Mirkid Inditiucjil. —A scamp latch

life ; else he would not h ive taken so much paint

*1 he advertisement offeiiig a reward thus de

the left arm a weeping willow, a dove, a star, ar
altar supporting two hearts, over which are two
doves, holding a crown, the portraits of a mar
and woman, a wheel, two bracelets, two branches
of a tree, and a compass; on the left thumb a

Wght arm he has an altar surmounted by a cuj id
holding a flag, and over it a death’s head, with

Interesting Incidents.—On the 19th of
April, 1775, Captain Isaac Davis, ol Massachu
setts, was killed by the British at Concord. The
first American officer that fell in the war of the
Revolution.
On the 1 Ith of May, 1775, information of that
memorable event was sent by express, from
Georgetown, S. C. by Paul Trapier, S. Wragg,
# ! C. Trapier, jr. and Anthony Bunneau, to the
Committee of intelligence, in Charleston, to the
care of Win. Henry Drayton, esq.
On the 1 Ith of May, IS4O, sixty-five years
thereafter, the Hon. Mr. Preston, of South Caro
lina, advocated with great power and eloquence.
In the Senate of the U. S. the granting of a pen

94th year of her age—and Mr. Calhoun opposed

Curious Ccstont.—When Poland was a
kingdom, some of its laws and customs were
enough. When any person was convicted
of having slandered, another, he was obliged in
open court to prostrate himself on the ground,
lying between the extended legs of the parfy
whom he had unjustly accused, and there to con*
less, with a loud voice, that in publishing or as
serting what he had asserted against him, he had
lied like a dug I and then at three several and
distinct times, to hark as loud as he could, after
the fashion of the animal he had just mentioned’
A Mirror of Burn.—Queen Elizabeth,
admiring the elegance of the Marquis Villade
Medina, a Spanish nobleman, complimented him

n TUTE.
?. of this Institution, under the direc
inoton H. Ttler, will be resumed on the fiist
October ensuing.
Twenty-two years of past service is the p’edge
which one o. the above-named individuals offeTs,
for that which is forthcoming. He is enabled,
trom personal acquaintance, to testify as to «he
superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following
among other testimonial, are offered :
‘Jir. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this
Co,lege After taking his first degree, he went to
Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able
and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to
take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged
the duties of hi* office with great credit to himself
and advantage to the Institution. Since then he
has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary
and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos
pel.
It affords me great pleasure to recommend him
to the public as a man of high moral and Christian
character, and perfectly well qualified to take
charge of any Academy or High School, where his
services may be wanted. H Humphrey. Pres
Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839.”
‘‘Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839.
This may certify, lhat the subscriber is well
acquainted with the Rev. Wellington 11 Tyler
having known him as a member of this College of
winch he is an alumnus, and afterwards as a Tutor
in College, and since as a licensed preacher
resident in this place ; and I take great pleasure
in recommending him to the public confidence as a
Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and
gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities, attain
ments, and general character, to superintend the
instruction of youth of either sex in ary of our
literary institutions. N. W.Fiske
Prof Int. and Mor. Phi’y.”
Mrs. T is amply recommended by the Principals
of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs.
\ ates of L nion College, and Joslin of the Kew
York University.
The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge
of the highly responsible duties which will devolve
upon them, will aim at practical results, and at
tempt rather to qualify those submitted to their
care for the duties of real life, than to gain for
them the admiration too oflen bestowed upon er
ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former
requires the symmetrical develop, ment of all the
faculties which make up the mental and moral
constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future
life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a
traveller, who should receive for his guidance a
map of a different country from that in which be
I is to travel.
They will aim at permanent results. The pow
er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than
any number of the result> of otheis’ reasonii g;
the love 01 knowledge and a mind w.-H disciplined
and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater
blessing than any amount ol knowledge without
such guaranties lor its perpetuity and increase, as
a living fountain is worth more than a stagnant
1 reservoir of however great dimensions.
. I hey will aim, in short, at combining, in the
highest practicable degree, the advantages of home
education with those which, in the general, can
only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought
together for the same object;— at concentrating the
endearments ol home, its social sentiments and its
proprieties of lile —for the improvement and the
enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from
the danger of being injuriously involved in fash
ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied
1 with distracting domestic cares and avocations.
It will be percc.ved that the new arrangement
leaves the identity of the Institute untouched. It
• will be the same in its objects and aims—the same
in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects
and in the sentiments of its conductors, as they
regard the domestic institutions of the South.
Hence the propriety of omitting here much that
must otherwise have been detailed at large, r«s
--l peeling our arrangements and the advantages of
. them—matters, which have already and repeatedly
, been submitted to the notice of the public, and as
it would seem, met their approbation.
The regular Terra of the Institute consists of
' nine months, commencing on the Ist of October
S and terminating on the last day cf June. Term
’ divided into tu o Sessions.of four and a half months
each. Second Session commences on the second
Monday in February, terminating on the last day
of June.
It is every way desirable that pupils should enter
, at the commencement of the Term ; they will
however, be received al any period #f the Term|
and charged only for the unexpired portion of the
Term.
The Institurion will be open five days of the
week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a m.
to 5 p. m. to the inspection of patrons and those"
interested in the cause of Female Education.
No expenditures will be made for pupils, for
books, stationary, postage, and necessary articles
such as shoes, kc. unless an advance is made, in
deposite, for the same.
All letters to Principals must be post-paid.
We recommend to patrons and otheis to post-pay
their letters, addressed to the inmates of the In
stitute, in order to anticipate errors of double post
age upon the part of Postmasters. *

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—“ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May’, IS3E His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
tne sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleC Tom
Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended fiomas
good a stock as any horse in the United States.— ,
He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to bis leg; it was injured when a three year 1
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
Edigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same
r. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Maty
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolel, the son of .
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir 1
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported J
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, *
(son of O’Kelle* ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest j 3
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam ;
by the imported horse Wranglengreat-great-grand- (
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; greal-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ts race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great- t
greal-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught; f
great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s c
old Mark Anthony outof a mare by’ imported Mou
ldy-” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary 8
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none t
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!— s
