COMMUNICATED.
The Huntingdon Academy.
MR. EDITOR, _ . .
A petition, I understand,
has been handed about to obtain signatures
asking the Legislature to pass a law di
recting the Trustees of the above Institu
tion to be elected by "the people," in
stead of the mode prescribed by the Char.
ter. The resons alleged for the change,
as set forth, are in substance, "that the
present Board neglect or refuse to exhibit
an amount of the receipts and expendi
tures of the institution," and further "that
it is kept up for the benefit of the Trus
tees, their friends and the wealthy, in ex
clusion of the poor."
. .
You may judge of my surprise when I
found in the last "Journal," the annual
account of William Dorris, treasurer of
the Board, as settled before, and certified
by the county Auditors, in which they
refer to "last year's settlement." Find
ing this allegation absolutely false, I tho't
it might be well to snake some inquiry
respecting the other serious charge. I
have done so, and give you the result.
Some years ago, I was informed, an at
tempt was made by the Trustees of the
Academy, and the 4 Managers of the Com
mon Schools, to mingle the concerns of
the two, and to select from the latter and
place in the former as many pupils as
could be accommodated. The selection
was made of those farthest advanced in
scholarship, without respect to the wealth
or poverty of the parents of the pupils.—
But in so delicate a matter dissatisfaction
and jealousy arose, and the project how
ever well intended, was abandoned. On
another occasion, the parents of some of
the pupils became dissatisfied with the
(then) teacher, alleging that their children
were neglected, and that too much atten
tion was bestowed on the classical schol.
ars. This is the natural conclusion of
parents whose people du not make equal
progress with others. In this case the
malecontents set up an "opposition line,"
and employed a Mr. Bedford, who turn
ing out a sheer scamp on their hands, was
soon dismissed. Since that time, with
the exception of a few who make it a mat•
ter of conscience to find fault with every
thing not done in accordance with their
will, all seem to have united harmonious.
ly in supporting the Institution.
Now for the charge against the present
Board of Trustees. It appears they are
fourteen in number, six of whom only
send their children to the Academy.—
'They all, as well as others who are able,
.pay regularly for tuition,—the funds of
the institution being insufficient to pay
the teacher, house rent, and incidental
'expenses. With regard to the exclusion
of the poor, the teacher states that by di•
rection of the Trustees he has received
into the Academy several pupils, without
pay for tuition, whose parents stated their
inability, and that none have been refu
sed admittance on that account to his
knowledge. The Academy never was in
a more flourishing condition, there being
upwards of forty pupils in attendance.
Having ascertained the above facts,"
and recollecting that I had seen pressing
invitations given by the Trustees to all,
in the public papers, to apply for admis
sion, anti observing that the person most
active in soliciting signatures to "the pe•
flush;' was one who never had taken any
interest in the subject of education, or
indeed in any other, useful to the com
munity, I inquired of several what the ob
ject could be in making him a cats.paw to
sow mischief and circulate falsehoods so
easily detected. It was suggested that
the instigators expected to make "politi
cal capital" out of the project. Small
potatoes, thinks Ito myself. It has even
been stated, doubtless with the view to
induce others to sign, that "some of the
Trustees" had signed the petition! This
is highly improbable. No gentleman who
knew, or whose duty it was to know, and
who could so easily ascertain the facts of
the case, would put his signature to a
statement so derogatory to his own char
acter as well as that of his colleagues.—
Were it not for the utter disregard of
truth and malignity evinced, it would be
a pity to deprive these loving (pretended)
friends of the dear people of an opportu
nity of appearing in a "flaming paragraph,"
or of making a "stump speech," advoca
ting the rights of the poor, of whom, they
(Heaven save the mark!) claim to be the
special guardians! It is hoped the dim
terested "gentlemen," who have thrown
out this "small bail" to catch popularity
will be rewarded with a suitable "nibble."

To cure our diseases, and snatch from the

But now she rejoices, for health has return'd.
What prize shall we give, or what honor

With what wreath shall we deck the phi

Thy name, or.lirandreth, 's inscribed on

And thy fame shall extend from the line to

A general Convention of Washingtoni

it being the birthday of the immortal
ashigton, whose name our association
bears. No more appropriate day could be
selected on which the members of the se

might meet to celebrate the great and glo
rious triumphs our cause is making under
the Hashington Banner.
lie therefore most respectfully invite
our brethren in every fkashington society
in the county of Huntingdon to meet us at
that time, and join in the celebration of
the rapid and gigantic strides of Temper
ance throughout our beloved county.—
Let your delegation be full, and come up
with the enthusiasm and charity which
have united in giving to our cause such
immortal and heart- - cheering victories.
"In union there is strength, 4 ' and in com
munion one with another, our hopes are
brigthtened—our hearts are animated—
our arms are nerved—and our souls are
tired with the pure and holy principles of,
our cause, and thus we will return to our
homes with new zeal,improved knowledge'
and a fixed determination to battle more
faithfully, more valiantly—more fervently
than ever we did before. Come one, come
all—and as you come--
Swell high the Washingtonian cry;
The lost are still returning,
Until our banner "flaps the sky,"
The meteor light of morning.

7 The principle of this Strop is anti
elastic—consequently it does not round the
edge of the razor. It consists of four sides
of different sharpening properties, viz: No.
1, the Hone—which is of ten times the pow
er of the ordinary Hone, and almost instant
ly thins a dull edge. No. 2, a powerful
sharpening property for removing the wiry
' edge left by the Hone. No. 3; a less pow
erful composition for gradually reducing the
Razor to a fine edge. No. 4 is merely the
calf skin, peculiarly prepared by the Manu
facturer, and expressly adapted to the pur
pose of perfecting the edge of the Razor.—
' Five minutes will be ample lime for pul
ling the dullest Razor in perfect order.

to quit the business of farming, drc.; by
staying away may miss a good bargain.
