The principal design of the School is to pre pare young gentlemen for Yale College, or any other University in the U. States. Students de sirous of entering the Freshman Class in the College above named, will pursue the study ot Arithmetic, Adam's Latin Grammar, I'rosodv, j Virgil, Cicero's Select Orations, Clark's Intro- lci to thc rrmkii.g of Itin, Sallust, Hrcek I cstanient, and Dalzel s Grxca .Minora.

In addition to the above will be taught, if de sired, the French and Hebrew Languages, and the study of Botany as an amusement, during thc floral season. The terms for Board, Tuition, bedding, wash ing, fuel, candles, and room, are two hundred and twenty -five dollars per annum, payable half year ly ; the first half year in advance. The discipline and government of this School will be addressed to the pride and honour of the student; and an appeal by letter to the parent will in all cases precede in any ultimate meas ure. It is believed this school will be equal to any of thc kind in the United States ; as the num ber is more limited, the circle of sciences ten dered to the student more extensive, and the un divided attention of the preceptor insured to his pupils.

XII AVE been credibly informed that there are persons on the north and south side of thc Yadkin river, and on different roads leading to my ferry, who are and have been in the habit of telling travellers that I have quit keeping up my ferry, which I say is a grand falsity : And some of them have gone so far as to tell the traveller that I charge for a loaded wagon and team from seventy-five cents to one dollar, which is another falsity. 1 think it my duty, therefore, to inform the public at large, that I still keep my ferry up, that I have as good boats as there are on the river, and that they will be well attended to. The charges rre as follows: A loaded wagon and team, 30 cents; an empty, the same; a two horse wagon, loaded or empty, 23 cents; a cart, 23; pedler's wagon, with one horse, 25 cents ; chairs, 2.5; a four wheel carriage for pleasure, with two horses, 30 cents; a carriage with four horses, thc same; horsemen five cenU ; footmen five cents.

TURNIPS how to protect from Fly; OATS in thc straw contrasted with Hay as Forage. TO THE EDITOU OF THE AMERICAN' FARMER. Washington, 3d August, 1821. Sir I sowed five-acres in turnips, but they have been almost all destroyed by the fly or burnt up. A neighbor of mine w hom I deem the first of farmers, has sav ed his turnips by working thc earth up to thc young sprouts ; whereby, first, thc roots were made more distant from the great heat, and secondly thc earth sprink led on thc young plants, prevented the fly from eating thc same effect was produ ced on cucumber and melon plants when young. This hint I give in haste, as ma ny persons have not yet sown their tur nips. Oats cut with thc straw and put in thc crib, arc better food for horses than hay, and one ton will go as far as two tons of hay the former are all eatand the latter being picked out by the horses from the racks, is half lost. Oats with thc straw cost 50 cents per ton, and hay costs one dollar per ton. If, therefore, I sell my hay and buy oats unthreshed with thc straw, I benefit thirty dollars in forty. I trust that these two suggestions, will compensate for my neglect of agricultu ral subjects for some time. I mean to de stroy my racks dry leaves and corn stalks must he my litter in the winter Vcrbum sapient. 10th August, 1821. I wrote a few lines to inform you of the ravages of the fly amonj my turnips, Sec. About a week ago I despaired of my crop, but threw on thc rows burnt clods, and now to my joy, find a most agreeable change many that I thought dead have revived The fly has disapppeared and new leaves pushed out, although my ground is very dry for want of rain. I mention this in haste, that others may save their turnips If we have not rain soon our corn will be all destroyed. I re ly on turnips and straw to preserve my cattle. If others make the same experi ment and arc successful, we may have found a preventive against thc fly, whilst wc add a good manure. Yours, T. LAW. WORN OUT LAND A MINE OF WEALTH. FROM THE ALBANY PLOUGH BOX. From the first settlement of Amer ca, lands have always been considered so plei.ty and so cheap by our prede cessors, that little attention has hereto fore been had to economise the soil. Recently, from a variety of concur ring circumstances, especially from the stimulating measures of numerous ag ricultural societies, it is found much to the interest and happiness of individu als to renovate worn out lands, as they have been called, in preference to sub mitting to the privations and miseries of seeking new lands in distant regions. Among numerous successful experi ments to renovate worn out lands, the following well authenticated fact is worthy the notice of every farmer. David Lawton, a Quaker farmer, from Rhode-Island, settled some years ago in the town of Washington, county of Dutchess, 13 miles east of Poughkeep sje. His neighbor, Amos Herrick, pressed him for some time to purchase 20 acres of land adjoining his farm, which had been lying in common, as worn out abandoned land, for seven years. At length Lawton purchased the 20 acres at S5 an acre, payable in five years without interest, with the privilege to abandon at the termination of that period. Lawton's purchase was the sport of the neighborhood ; it was pronounced worth nothing, as it was subject to a small tax, and that even mull?.: would not grow on it. The ensuing spring Lawton fenced in the 20 acres with substantial rails, and proceeded as follows : First year, ploughed deep, sowed oats, and put on 8 quarts of clover seed ; and a bushel of plaster, immedi ately after sowing, to the acre ; and soon alter the field became green, a se cond bushel of plaster to the acre ; left the crop to ret on the ground, and per mitted no creature to run on the land. Second year, put on another bushel of plaster to the acre in the spring ; there was a good crop of clover, which was again left to rot on the ground, and no creature permitted to feed on it. Third year, nothing was done in the spring, but a vigorous growth of clover covered the whole twenty acres, which was ploughed in with 4 oxen to a good depth ; the whole field smoked while the clover was in a state of decomposi tion. As soon as it was sufficiently rotted, the field was cross-ploughed, and when mellowed it was thoroughly ploughed for a crop of wheat, which was: neatly got in, and in a suScient quantity, in the month of September. In the 4th year, reaped as fine a crop of wheat as Dutchess county had ever produced, which sold for two dollars a bushel. Lawton paid the purchase money before it was due, refunded all his expenses, and had J520 in pocket. Two years after he refused 50 an a cre for the same land, and fairly turn ed the tables upon his sneering neigh bours. The soil was a dark loam in termixed with coarse gravel. CA-IHA. INTEMPEItANCE. On looking over files of English pa pers the following instance of the hor rible effects of the beastly practice of intoxication, presents itself: 4i A very distressing event took place at the house of Mr. J. Christopher, inn-keeper, in Ecleston, near Leyland. A man in a state of beastly drunken ness, went into a room adjoining the one in which he had been drinking, and sat himself down upon a cradle in which a child was sleeping. The mo ther, that it might not be disturbed by the noise and confusion of the compa ny who frequented the tavern, had re moved into the retired apartment. The anxiety she felt on seeing the cra dle occupied by a drunken man may therefore easily be conceived but the shock was inexpressibly increased, when, on removing the stupified brute, she found that the poor innocent had breathed its last, having died through suffocation." Although wre have not heard of any occurrence so shocking as this in our country, yet scarcely a week passes without a coroner's verdict being re turned of one, sometimes two persons, dving of intemperance. This vicious propensity seems, indeed, to be gain ing ground every day, notwithstanding the many fatal consequences which a rise from its indulgence. Nor can this be a matter of surprise when it is considered, that spiritous liquors are now selling in some of the grog shops of this city at a price little higher than the price of milk. So long, therefore, as it can be got at this easy rate, and with so much facility, it is in vain to denounce the use of liquor, or to ex pect a diminution of the many acci dents, and the innumerable crimes, consequent on its abuse. The evil must be attacked at its root : the num ber of dram shops must be reduced ; and all. kinds of liquors must be in creased in price, before any effectual check can be given to intemperance. It is in the power oi the police to with hold licenses from liquor stores. The general government might, by a tax on foreign and domestic spirits, lessen their consumption. We believe a measure of this nature would be gene rally acceptable. Considering that it would greatly increase the revenue, we trust that a project so essential to the preservation of public morals, will not be lost sight of. National Advocate DOMESTIC COFFEE. Rye, manufactured by a process simi lar to malting, is becoming extensively a substitute for imported coftv.e. The manufacture has thus far been carried on chiefly, if net wholly, in Philadelphia, and almost every vessel from there to this! port brings ten, twenty, or even fifty bar rels. It is perhaps a closer imitation of foreign coffee than any thing else which has been hit upon. It hr.s been substitu ted in many respectable families. The price is from four to six cents a pound, not more than one fifth as much as the foreign article. ec. Cobbctt is publishing, monthly, a work entitled Religious Tracts, in numbers, at three fience each. The following are the titles of his three first numbers : No. 1.

In your paper of the 13th, there is inserted an account of the peerage of England, amounting to several hun dreds, whose descent is reckoned, in a number of instances, to ancestors of many ages past, as far, as the days of William 1st, the Norman conqueror cf the kingdom.
