For tlie Demociat. Vi4t ta ths Iro City Cjlls;e. Editors Democrat. Sirs: I paid a visit to the above named institution, du ring th last week, and found it in a most' flourishing condition. It has made vast and rapid strid'8 within the last tew years and i fully up to this age of improvement. In its spacious study room wer many tretulemen encored in the rrudy and practice of B i'-k-keepMig, everything around wore an aspect indicative of unqualiSed success. The study room is ninety feet in length, by forty wide, with a fine hih ceiling, abundance of li-'Iit and 'ood venij .illation; adjacent is th- recitation an:l le3ture room, which is thirty fret square, atid, lik the stu ly room, furnished in neat and appropriate style. The institution, in short, as far as its internal appearance is eonee ne l, is a model one, and will compire favorably with any of the tame charracter in the country. The faculty is composed of jenih-men who thoroughly understand their profession. F. W. Jenkins and J. C. Smith are th. Principals, and are accomplished and experienced teach er. Prof. C wly has charge of tlie penmanship department ,' he is a most brilii int pe-invin and would be an ornament to any institnti n.
