The Season, After an unusually , lata win

fruit by severe and urtseasonable frosts, we arc
j. how enjoying about the finest spring 'weather we
'have over seen ia this climate.'1 A mild and
puro atmosphere, in ' connection with a succes
aion of refreshing rains, has imparted to the face
of nature a loveliness, which wo have rarely wit
nessed ia the Southern country. : t W. y

. Mivroic Female Academt. We learn that
this Institution, under the superin tendance of
our crotner, Kev. A. McDowell and his
; lady, is ia a highly prosperous condition. The
numper or pupils is greater than it has been for
several years. Milton is a pleasant and health-
ful villago, and from our personal knowledge of
brother McDowell, we are confident that pu
pils entrusted to his management, will find am
ple cause for being pleased with the location.
1 Orange Street Baptist Church, Wil
mikctoh. We learn that . this church, under
the pastoral charge of the Rev. A. P. Repiton,

A succession of interesting (meetings has been
followed by the baptism of some forty individu
als on profession of their faith in Christ, who
hare been baptized by the pastor and added to
