This addition, though small, will not be without its beneficial influence. Whatever may have been the effect elsewhere, we can state with confidence that much good has been done in this county. Schools have been kept up, which must otherwise have failed for want of support, and the field of knowledge has been opened to many, who, but for this, would have been left in a state of total ignorance and impenetrable darkness.
