St. John’s Day.—This masonic festival was
celebrated in a handsome manner by the fra
ternity of this place, on the 2*th ult. A pro
cession was formed at the Lodge room at half
past 10 o'clock, from whence they proceeded
to the Episcopal Church. Service was intro
duced by singing the following appropriate
anthe n, written for the occasion:
To Heaven’s high Architect nil praise,
All gratitude be given, ,
Who deign’d the human soul to raise
By secrets sprung from Heav en—
Now swells the choir in solemn tone,
And hovering Angels join;
Religion looks delighted down,
When votaries press the shrine.
Blest be the place! thither repair
The true and pious train:
Devotion wakes her anthems there,
And Heaven accepts the strain !
•i Our Rev. Brother Muller, of the Epis
copal Church, delivered a feeling and impres
sive discourse on the occasion, setting forth
the beneficial effects of the institution, in a
truly Christian spirit of universal charity and
good will. Although he evinced a warm de
votion to the cause of Masonry, his language
• was so conciliating and inoffensive, that even
the most scrupulous opponent could scarcely
take exceptions. We regret that a press of
other matter compels us to omit its publica
tion this week.
The ladies displayed much taste in fitting
up and adorning the Church with festoons of
evergreen, and they gave the highest possible
finish to the picture by attending in goodly
numbers themselves, to witness the solemn
and interesting ceremonies. Service was clos
ed by singing the 133d Psalm—
' How vast must their advantage be,
How great their pleasure prove,
Who live like brethren, and consent
In offices of love!
3 True love is like that precious oil,
Which, pour’d cn Aaron’s head.
Ran down his beard, and o’er his robes
Its costly moisture shed.
3 ’Tis like refreshing dew, which does
On Hermon’s top distil ;
Or like the early drops that fall
< >n Sion’s fruitful hill.
4 For Sion is the chosen seat,
Where the Almighty King
The promised blessing has ordain’d,
And life’s eternal spring.
The system of separate confinement adopt
ed in the new Penetentiarv of Philadelphia,
some particulars of which have been publish
ed in this paper a year since, appears thus far,
to have answered every purpose expected
from it. So far from its being considered by
the inmates a system of cruelty, one of them,
whose term of imprisonment is about expir
ing, has made application not to be set at li
berty until next spring; and the effect on
another, whose term has expired, is believed
to be an entire reformation. The Physi
cian of the institution, Dr. Franklin Bache,
states that the convicts enjoy their health,
are comfortable, and is perfectly satisfied
that the entire seclusion of criminals from all
association with their fellow criminals, is al
together compatible with their profitable em
ployment at useful trades, and with the pre
servation of their health. The system is yet
an experiment; but should it succeed, as these
facts induce the belief that it will, it will be
the means, most probably, of effecting a ge
neral reform in Penitentiary punishment.
Sax'. Georgian.
The Oswego Palladium states that an indi
vidual, a political anti-mason, during the late
- election, declared that “it was the sincere
wish of his heart, that he could see in this
country a thousand instancesrf the tortures of
the Inquisition inflicted upon adhering masons,
where there ever was one in Spain. ” If, (adds
the Palladium) any person doubts the truth of
this statement we can give him or them
names, time and place, by being called upon
at our office.

THE Jefferson Academy, at Ely ton, un

session, with the most flattering prospects.
Although in its infancy, such is the confidence
the public entertain of the fitness and qualifi

that it now numbers between fifty and sixty
students, of which about twenty are engaged
in the Latin and Greek languages.

Botrd can be had at respectable houses at

The Trustees have employed the Rev John
Williams as an assistant teacher, which
enables Mr McPherson to devote his atten
tion principally to the students engaged in
the higher branches.
A strict course of moral deportment is ob
servable in this institution, with a strong de
sire t> make each student thorough in what
he may learn; and from its healthy situation,
the cheapness of board, and its incipient pros
perin', the trustees feci justified in recom
mencing it to the patronage of all persons
wish’tig to educate their children.

D. WOODnUFF,
HAS pleasure in informing his friends and
the public, that he has now made such
arrangements with a first-rate “ A’orthern
House," as will enable him to furnish any
book now in use, cither foreign or domestic,
on the very lowest terms. Orders are made
up for the north weekly. Persons wishing to
replenish their Libraries, will find it to their
interest to call at the
TU3CAI.OOSA BOOK-STORE,
where there w ill be constantly kept for safe
BLANK BOOKS of various descriptions and
sizes, together with a general supply of Law,
Medical, Miscellaneous, Classical and School
Books—including all the new publications of
the day, &c. 8cc.
Schools, Academics, and Colleges furnished
at the lowest possible prices.
Orders respectfully solicited.
I have so repeatedly reminded my friends
and the public, of the necessity of their lend
ing a liberal support to the establishment,
that were I to continue the call—without an a
pology,—it would seem to carry a tone of com
plaint with it. This is far from my intention;
it would be treating a generous and liberal
public with great injustice and ingratitude.
The support has been beyond my expecta
tions ; but at most it necessarily must be in
considerable in a town of the age and limited
population of Tuscaloosa.
I believe all will admit that a Book and Sta
tionary establishment is an important acqui
sition to our town, and a permanent benefit to
the country—and such will permit me again
to remark, that its present success, until our
public institutions are further advanced, re
quires all the support that the liberal and well
wishing can bestow. D. WOODRUFF.
BOOK BINDING.
THE subscriber begs leave to return his
sincere thanks to his friends and the
public, for the encouragement he has receiv

he pursues the above business in all its branch

Bell Tavern,) where he respectfully solicits
and hopes to receive a continuance of favors
which his utmost endeavors will be exerted to
merit. B. BALDWIN.

TONIC AND ANTI-DYSPEPTIC PILLS.
THIS MEDICINE is offered to the pub
lic with a confidence, produced by long
experience in practice, that they possess the
following properties: They will operate gen
tly as a purgative, and as effectually cleanse
the stomach and intestines of all offensive and
irritating matter as any medicine now known,
and will not debilitate them. They do not
produce the least sirj^iess or nausea, but on
the contrary, the appetite and feelings will
generally be improved in one hour after the
pills are taken. They can be used at all times,
and by all ages. No attention is necessary to
diet, drink, or exposure to wet or cold, while
using them. A few boxes will be f und gen
erally sufficient to remove the most confirmed
Dyspkfsia, with all its distressing symp
toms, headache, sickness and sourness of the
stomach, loss of appetite, habitual costivencss,
