Today, two weeks ago, in the company with a friend, we made one appearance in the little village of New Castle, or rather what is left of it. Members of the M. E. Church were holding protracted meeting, and their ministers were preaching to a large and intelligent congregation. During our sojourn, we saw evidence of much good being done and have since learned that quite a number of accessions (additions) were made to the church. Squires SHIVERS, EUBANKS, PARSONS, TAYLOR, and other gentlemen of unusually large hearts and open hands will please accept our thanks for the many kindnesses extended to us on the occasion of our visit to their hospitable neighborhood. Before leaving the village, it was our good fortune to meet Miss Julia WILLIAMS, an accomplished instructor and graduate of the Winchester Institute of Learning who has taken charge of the Female School
and proposes to bring back for New Castle its old popularity as one of the best points of primary education in the county. Miss WILLIAMS’ school commenced last Monday. New Castle is situated in a high healthy region and is the center of a flourishing neighborhood. Parents and guardians of young ladies could not do better than to patronize the female school at New Castle.
