IRVING FEMALE COLLEGE.
Frcm the Carlisle Herald. ,
thin Institution of Learning bears the name
or the graceful and accomplished American
author, who!?writings have erected for him a
monument more enduring than the polished
shaft which marks the resting place of many
braTe and gallant spirit whose honors have
'been won amid the sound ol clarion and clash
of arms.
It has been established through the individ
ual enterprise of "Mr. Solomon P. Gorgas, a
llberal-mioded gentleman of the , town oi Me
ehanicsburg, in the immediate vicinity of
which it is located.. This town is in the heart
of the gTeat Cumberland Valley, which has
long beoD noted for the fertility ol its soil, the
salubrity of its atmosphere, and the energy
and industry of its inhabitants. ' A railroad
passes within a hundred yards of the College,
connecting at Ildirisburg with the great lines
of travel, leading to our large cities, thus ren
dering it easy of access from all sections of
the country. A more beautiful and pictures
que spot could not hare been selected for its
6ite. i'rom the dome of the College, the most
enchanting views spread out before the eye.
The town ot Mechanicsburg, reposing in queen
ly beauty just below, with its neat private
dwellings and Christirn temples, whose spires
proclaim the appreciative regard of its inhab
itants for morality and religion ; the highly
cultivated farms, beautified with clumps of
forest trees, and silvery streams which thread
their way in various directions ; and the bold,
majestic mountain, which furnishes a sublime
back: ground to the whole, constitute a pano
rama of surpassing loveliness.
Tbe College edifice merits special notice.
It is built of brick, and is of sutlicient dimen
sions to accommodate in the most comfortable
manner, one hundred boarders. Its chambers
are unusually large for an institution of this
kind, and furnished in the most approved style.
Zo pains seem to have been spared by its no
ble founder in his arrangements for the phy
sical health and comfort of those who sbeuld
seek instruction within its walls. Every room
is furnished with registers for heat and ventil
ation, a most important feature in buildings
erected for educational purposes. A neat
fence surrounds the grounds, enclosing a great
variety of trees and shrubbery, presenting a
lovely spot for the healthful recreation of the
young ladies who may. be honored with the
privilege of a sojourn within the halls of the
Institute.
At the last session of the Legislature ol
Pennsylvania, a charter was granted the Col
lege i and, in accordance with one of the pro
visions, the Faculty have power "to conier
such literary degrees and acedemic honors as
are usually granted by Colleges upon such pu
pils as shall have completed, in a satislactory
manner, the prescribed course of study."
In regard to the Faculty,the authorities have
displayed great wisdom in the selection which
they have made. Rev. A. G. Marlatt, A. M.,
the President, is a gentleman peculiarly adap
ted to the position which he has been called to
oAupy. A graduate of one of the first Colle
ges in theUnion, he not only enjoys a fine rep
utation as a scholar, bnt combines in his char
acter those superior elements which are so es
sential to one who presides over an Institution
lor the intellectual and moral training oi young
ladies. His excellent lady, too, if graceful
and dignified in her bearing, of fine mental
cultivation, of superior social qualities, and
seems to have a strong hold upon the atiection
ato regard of the pupils who have been at the
College the past ycar
Mr. D. E. Coover, A. M., another mombcr of
the Faculty, graduated at Princetod College,
and has had considerable experience in teach
ing in one of the most flourishing Female Col
leges in this country. He is a gentleman of
fine qualities, and in every way fitted for his
position. His estimable and accomplished la
dy has charge of the musical department ol
the College. I will close my notice of the Fa
culty with an allusion to Miss Homans, who is
a meroler thereof. For several years, she has
been engaged in teaching, and perhaps has few
superiors. Her mild and gentle manners, to
gether with her polished literary attainments,
place her in the front rank of female teachers.
Happy are the parents, whose daughters are
favored with her instructions.
The Irving Female College went into active
operation last fall, and has just closed its first
year. The system of instruction embraces
those branches which arc usually taught in the
first class institutions. On Thursday, June 23,
the young ladies underwent their first exami
nation, under the supeivuion of a committee
selected for the occasion, in the presence of a
large concourse of spectators. Xo particular
1t had been divise d for conducting the ex
amination j yet the jupils exhibited great pro
ficiency in their studscs, giving satisfactory
evidence of a thorough acquaintance with the
principles involved iu the dillerent branches
they had studied. The evercises of the day
wera interspersed with performances on the
Ttiano, aocoijranied with singing by the Misses
Porter, ot Cai lisle. These youug ladies ex
hibited great compass and sweetness of voice,
in the several pieces they sang ; and are cer
tainly destined to take a high position in this
department of femhle accomplishments. Un
. derthe sdillful and judicious instructions oi
ilrs-Ccorer, the pupils were enabled to evince
a proficiency in music rarely attained in so
short a period of time. During the day, a
beautifui csoay was read by Miss Adkins, ot
Delaware. Taken as a whole, it would be dif
ficult to find a more interesting class of young
ladies iu any of our Institutions of learning.
In the evening at 8 o'clock, an address was
delivered by Rev. Dr. T. Daugherty, A. 31., of
the East Baltimore Conference. He selected
at hi3 theme "Woman's Proper Sphere," and
in a neat, concise, and brilliant manner, shew
ed his audience, which was large and appreci
ative, that woman could only be conducted to
her proper circle by the refining and elevating
influences of Christianity. Some passages of
the address were of great beauty, and won for
the Reverend gentleman golden opinions from
the ladies of the College ; and, we have no
doubt, but that the resolution was formed in
their hearts to reach the distinguished position
to which their attention had been directed.
On Friday evening, the President's levee
took place. Tbe occasion brought together a
great throng of the friends of the college.
Philadelphia, Harrisbnrg, Carlisle, and the
smaller towns and villages of the beautiful
Cumberland Valley were well represented. The
spacious parlors, the verandas, and even the
rrounds in front of the College were crowded.
Tbe tables in the refreshment ball were spread
most profusely, and adorned most beautifully
with everything that could attract the eye and
please the taste. As the interesting groups
moved in different directions, in many instan
ces exhibiting the highest styles or beauty, I
felt tht there were thost. around me,
"Freher than the morning Rose,
When the dew wes iu leaves, unstained and pure,
As is the Lily on the mountain snow."
In closing this article, it may be proper to
Bay, that this Institution has already received
patronage from nino different States, in the
fwur leading divisions of tbe Union. Parents
wishing to have their daughters educated in a
healthy locality, combining every possible ad
- vantage, free from all sectarian influences,
may be favored with such a place, at Irving
Texala College. Yisnoa.

TJIO.SE who want farms.
A FARM WITHIN THE REACH OF
EVERY MAN.
THE RIPGWAY FARM COMPANY has made ar
rangements by which all who desire to settle or
purchase a home can do so. The farms consist of
the best limestone soil of the most superior quality
for farming, in a rapidly improving place, into
which an extensive emigration is now pouring.
The property is located in Elk County. Pennsylva
nia, in the midst of a thriving population of some
10,000. "The climate is perfectly healthy, and the
terrible plague of the west fever is unknown. It
also has an abundance of the best quality of Coal
and Iron. Tbe price to buv it out is from S3 to
20 per acre, payable in instalments, to be located
at the time of purchasing, or a share of 25 acres
entitling to locate the samo for $.'100, payabln $5
per month or 12i acres payable per month.
Discount for every sum of $100 and under, paid in
advance, a discount of 5 per cent, will be allowed,
and for over SI 00 a discount ot 10 per cent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating to
this locality the following are presented :
First The soil is a rich limestone, capable of
raising the heaviest crops, owing to which this set
tlement has attained its present great prosperity.
Seroiut It is the centre of thegreat North West
Coal Basin, and is destined soon to become one of
-the greatest business places in the State. It will
supply the great LnKe market, (according to popu
lation and travel the greatest in tho Union.) It
has five workable veiacs of the best rituminous
Coal, amounting in the aggregate to over 22 feet,
which niiikes 22.000 tons of coal under each acre.
This will make the land of inestimable value.
Thiril. The eminent state geologist Dr. Chas.
T. Jai-kson of Huston, has made a geological sur
vey of (he land, and analysed the coal, the iron
ore and the limestone. Tbis rport together with
maps will be furnished to inquirers.
Fourth Three railroads are laid out through
this property. The Suubury and Erie Railroad
gives us a market forourcoal to the Lakes it rnns
from Erie to Philadelphia. A large part of tbis
road has been finished, and is now in running or
der. A heavy force is now working from Erie to
wards our land in the western direction, the means
for the completion of which has been raised it
will soon be finished. The Allcjhecy Valley Kail
road connect" ns with New York, Moston and Pitts
burg. The Venango Road connects us with the
West.
There are already good Turnpike roads running
through the property, various other roads have
been opened to accommodate the emigration and
settlement which has already taken place.
There is no opportunity equal to it now offered
to the man who wants to provide himself a home
in an easy way, and make a settlement where he
can live in prosperity and independence in a cli
mate PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
No case of fever ever having been known to oc
cur in this settlement. It is not like going to tho
backwoods of tbe West, among perhaps intollerant
people, where there is no society, churches, or
schools, where the price of land is high, and where
tbe emigrant, after being used to tbe healthiest
climate in the world, has to endure sickness and
pain, and perhaps ruins his health and that of his
family. But here is a thriving settlement having
three towns, containing churches, schools, hotels,
stores, saw mills, grist mills, and everything de
sired. There is a cash market at hand. The lum
ber trade last year amounted to over two hundred
million feet of lumber. In a short time, owing to
the coal, it will still become more valuable, as a
number of iron works and manufactories will soon
be started ; they are at present starting them ex
tensively at Warren. Even for those who do not
wish to o there, the payments are such that they
can easily buy a farm to save their rising families
from want in the future, or to gain a competence
by the rise which will take place in the value of
lands P.y an ontlay scarcely missed, a substan
