The success of the High School for Girls,

most sanguine advocates. No establish

general aspect and routine. In the three
great divisions, comprising several hundred
female children of respectable parcnts--the
monitorial system is applied with rcmarka
Bile order, facility, and advantage -Besdes
the usual rudiments of the best English cd
ucaton, needle work of every kind, French,
and drawing are effcctually taught; and 1t
has been found BY the intelligent ladies who
preside over the School, and who have had
much experience in the common acadamies
that nothing is lost in this institution with
respect to manners and morals. Notwith'
. standing the number of the pupils, the dis
cpline in fact may be such as to product
the habit of greater proprety and dclicacl
Of demeanor. We mention these particu
lars now. merely to excite public atten
tion to the subject; sincerely wishing tina
the good example of New-York, in the for
nation of the Female High School, may b
followed here as readily and beneficially a
it has been in the case of the High Schoo

The cure for intemperance, advertised in
most of our city papers, has produced good
many inquiries as to its real effect and utill-
ty. The editor of the New York Observer
mentions for the satisfaction of his distant
correspondents, several cases OF complete
cure following the use of the medicine, One
of these was that of woman between SO and
90 years of age, who had been incorporate
tor 25 years, and who. on taking the medi-
cine four times, lost all desire tor intoHcat-
ing liquors. Another was that of silver
smith, who found the remedy so ettectual,
that he presented the Doctor a set OF silver
spoons in addition to the usual fee. A third
is that of a man whose wife gave the medi-
cine to a neighbor where her husband used
to call for his liquor, with request that 1t
might be mixed with his drink. a few
draughts at different times made the man
saw that he did "not know what was the
matter with him, but somehow he was not
dry" 1t is said that taking the medicine
once or twice is commonly sufficient; but
that in some obstinate Cases it has failed to
effect a cure.
