The L>it?rary Institutions at Cokesbury.
A correspondent of the Lnuren?ville Utrald,
furnishes the following interesting sketch of
these flourishing institutions, which do so rnccli
honor to our District:
As very little is until in the ceoyraph.'/ nhont
Cokesbury. I propose to (five your readers an
account of it : F?>r the punt thirty yours, this
has heen n notable place for school*, children
and health. Some thirty vearn ug", the old
Tabernacle School, near the prenyl!t viilagu,
was famou* throughout th? State ; it was
ther? that Dr. Olin taught school, and there
ho became converted to the church. Th? Methodist

thriving village. The place at that time wa?
known a* Mt. Ariel, but vm channel lo Coke*bury
in Compliment, tn Coke and Birhop-Asbury,
ofthe Methodist Church. I am triad to
write that thi* school is still in a highly prospeooua

three stories high, divided off into school room*
and oliapel. The chapel i* open for religious

the Baptist denomination. the Kev. W. A. MeSwain,
Methodist, R?tv. B. Johnson, Epi*copalian,
and the Rev. T. A. Ihiyt, Pre>?!iytei ian.
by order of the Board of Trustees, have Iteen
invited to preach in the chapel. Other denominations
will, I suppose, he invited when
'these fill their appointments. Thin is eminent
lv proper, for you know the Musons are of all
denomination*, and, of course, would not tolerate
the least spirit of aec'ariauiatn.
I Warn that there arc one hundred and
twenty students who have matriculated. In
fact I should judge that there was a largo num
ber from the display of crinoline and the nuni
ber of females that are met in the street*.
The President of the Facility, Mr. F. A. Con
