We are reliably informed that Rev. W. C. GRAY, the talented and highly esteemed principal of the Bolivar Female Academy, will soon relinquish the senior chair of that excellent institution of learning. The high and holy duties incumbent upon him as a teacher of Holy Writ are such as to engage his entire time and preclude all minor engagements. We have not been apprised of the name of the person who is to succeed the reverend gentleman who retires at the close of the present session, though of one thing we do feel assured, and that is, that it will be fortunate for this community if a peer of the present Principal can be engaged to take charge of the Academy.
