It must certainly be very gratifying to our citizens to know that we now have two good Schools in our midst. The male Academy is conducted by Mr. McCor mick, a young gentleman we have been told well qual'tied for the trust.

Daniel Webster was in debt to the KaikmM* of $140,000. . 2St Jl Cau we not have a Daily Mail? | A friend said to us a week ago, "Why j don't you have a daily mail to Lancaster?" , S Of course we replied ;.s we had no Kail- v road the thing was almost impracticable, t Deflecting, however, on the matter since, 1 we have come to the conclusion, that it' c proper mean? are used, we may have a | daily mail. In every village in the State, n with very few exceptions, the citizens on- I joy the advantages of daily mail facilities. 1 Lancaster village is not so insignificant s hut she too may come in for some of i the benefits which the government con- J i f?-rs. 11 The advantages resulting from a daily t conuiiunicatiun with tlu* rest of the world, e must be apparent to every one. The ad- e vantage to our village would be great.? e i \N here are our prominent men ? If a v 1 petition were to be sent to the Post Mas- <1 ter General, signed by all our citizens, wc f I feel conlMcnt our prayer would be granted.

Are you not satisfied it would prove of great advantage to us? If so, let us sou whether you will make the effort to place our village , on the same footing with other villages in the Slate. ^ c Carelessness in Directing Letters. In the list of letters advertised in our c paper, wo observe tliat two should have been directed to Laurens C. II., and one v to Lexington. Others may be misdirected but these we arc certain are Now, no doubt the men to whom these letters were intended, as well as those who wrote them, censure the Post Masters no little for care- ' lessncss; w hereas, the error occurred iu directing. The only way we can account j for the mistake, is, that as all three places commence with L, and as Lancaster oct curs to the mind first, the letter is thus . dirocted, we may say, mechanically. In one of the British Quarterly's we read once, that on an average, five letters are daily dropped into the London Post Office with no direction. Post Masters eri, but writers do too sometimes. Our Exchanges. Wo had hitherto neglected to notice the changes in the proprietorship of some of our State journals.

The Southern Iloinc Gazette. The Eclectic and llome Gazette has again assumed the form of the former Georgia Home Gazette. We like this form much better. The Southern Home Gazette is m a large paper, and is well conducted by its editors. We know of no paper more deserving of patronage.

EDITOR: fi Perliaps the grentest demons:ration h made at ihu funeral of any one man, was ti that which honared iho remains of the si notorious pugitliftt, Poole. It is assorted and with truth, that 10,OOQ persons turned out, thus testifying their respect for a man who should have la-en out of the tl world long before. Some singular specu- e< lations and facts have resit ted from this > murder. Poole,as you wiil rv:ollect, was | shot by a man by the name of Baker. e, Several of our most eminent physicians j c held a j>o*t mortem examination on his ! ^ body, and although some conjectured the y ball to be one place, and some another, j r, the majority thought the ball had lodged in the spine, and that jrortion of Jie laxly 0 was most carefully and minutely exam- p ined yet no ball could be found. Finally, 0 one of the physicians took up the Lean, t and observed that it was inordiuarily j, heavy?an incission was made into it, and p lo and beiiold there the veritable ball was t f .mi.) n:n i.s. i Mivti rviu inn A WID IIW lU'lg j g home. ^ It has ever Men it popular belief, that |j fany tiling came in contact with the heart s death would immediately ensue. 'Poole <j fou will recollect, lived some time aftei j v ho was was shot. The circumstance has | given rise to much speculation, and inany I. facts have been elucidated by Prentice of e the Louisville .Journal, which go to prove, 'I and prove most conclusive1)*, that one n tn.ay live some time aftor the heart has j I been ruptured. In fact, it appears that | s the chief and ultimate cause of death is j t only produced indirectly from the wound v in the heart. The editor of the Journal j c adduces a number of car,cs, where persons I, have lived nearly a month when the heart was completely lacerated, and at last their their death caused by disease of the lungs. I have said more of Poo's than he de- c serves, hut I have given the doctors in t your vicinity a rulject they can speculate j upon. j It is said Baker has gons to Canada, H and ugrtin that he is secreted in the woods g near this city. One thing is certain, his | friends know where he is. Poole was a j prominent member of the societ) of Uni- t |C<I A limrloar. ?
