We notice the walls of a large brick building going up, near the Universalist Church on Second Street. We understand it to be designed for a school building, to be called the "Western Liberal Institute." The building will accommodate 180 pupils. The second story is to be occupied as a female School, and the lower story for a Male School.
Between our Union Schools, Academies, Female Seminaries, and the College, there is hardly a town in the west that enjoys so many advantages for acquiring a thorough education as Marietta. The "Institute" will in a few months be added to the list of schools now in operation here, and we may reasonably expect that with all these educational privileges, and a location which the history of the last twenty five years proves to be more healthy than almost any other in Ohio, the number of those who seek a residence here for the purpose of educating their families will be greatly increased.
