The fall term of this flourishing High School, as will be seen by the advertisement in this paper commences on the 15th inst.  Mr. R. Watson Seaman, its accomplished and successful Principal, has given his school a character for thorough and careful instruction that almost renders it unnecessary to say any thing in its favor.  He is a well qualified and popular teacher - bringing to the discharge of his various and important duties talents and experience in the highest degree useful and valuable.  We hope rooms crowded with students, will be the proof that his efforts to establish and maintain here a first class Seminary, are properly appreciated and encouraged by our citizens.  His is such a school as is needed here, and the range of studies pursued is sufficiently extensive and liberal to meet the wishes of all classes of pupils.
