[FOR THE DARLINGTON FLAG.]
Mr. Editor: I have paid several visits
the present year to the Bradford Institute,
and very recently spent two days and
nights there very pleasantly. I
ly delighted with the prosperity of the
institution, and particularly with the kind
and affectionate attention paid the young
ladies, by the Principal and his lady. The
pupils number (I believe) one hundred
and ten; our District seems to be well
represented, (say about twenty.) Tie*
fare is excellent, and I doubt if it is better
at any institution, North or South. TV
Burner s department w placed under the
care and direction of Mr. Mituhei aud

tleman seems determined to use every
effort to give satisfaction in his depart
ment, and judging from the neatness and
abundance of the eating department, I
could not see any jurt e*«se Hr com

those who patronize, aud intend to pat*

are sanguine in the expectation that
they may yet have the pleasure of wil-

the noble crew who left Woolwich in

It may he interesting to know that the

to the Arctic region with the Exploring

The President has appointed Mr.

the cheif of the department has been
acting as secretary since Mr. Web

word, he was generous, charitable, kind
and affectionate, possessing a high sense
of honesty, integrity and truth. Hu has
left a long list of friends, w ho w ill ever
cherish his memory. But he has left one
above all, the partner of his bosom, who
fuels this dispensation more keenly than
all others. She, u ho during a protracted
illness of tw o years, administered toevery
want as vvouid a mother to her only child
who chalcnged the admiration of all for
her unceasing attentions and kindues.—
Others may, but she can never for
get him. May that omnipotent hand
that tempers the cold w inds to the shorn
lamb, support and sustain her in her most
trying atliicliou. K. H.
