A way. then, with such a charge Rod with prejudice, that ugly narrow thing. Now for logical conclusions. The Writer after attributing the failure ol ihe Academy lo the working of a narrow minded preju dice, jumps to ihi conclusion aand (has the blowing of r good educational course have been lost lo l lie rising generation of the coun try uroond." There is logie for yoa I ' Let as see how it will look in a syllogistic drese. Where a house has not been built in cer tain place, at a certain time, by certain indi viduals, ihe blessings ol education', f a bad ed uca I ion being no education are lost to the rising generation around. But or-h a house, under such circumstances has not been built at Long Creek. Therefore, the blesings of education are lost to the rurinj generation o -Long Crctk and it adjacent country.

" Did an fine ever so identify he" blessing of education with a house or the building of one ? The writer must ci rtaiiJy be a great; adept in Metaphysics, to durern such depen dency and relation but perhaps be is rather a little superstitious and thinks there are eme lucky spots for houses, and doesiv t allogetfc' er menn that the blessings of education could not be dispensed from another house just as well as from the proposed Academy; if so, he deserves to be overlooked and Only smiled oa -for his simplicity.
