 We had prepared brief notice of the semi-a nnual exhibition in this Seminary which took place las. week-but as were not present, and could speak o"ly from the representations of others give place Co the following communication in preference to any semarks of our own:-
 Afr. Adams-Permit me to express through your columns the pleasure enjoyed, and the instruction received, n witnessing the recent exhibition of the Femnle Seminary in this village. Former exhibitions 6avs been excellem, and interesting, bus this as a whole was superior i" my judgment to any other a, which have been present.
 The compositions which wereread i,y the instructor
 efe evincivs or siudy and deep thought and of mind. accustomed to reflect and reason and profit by their reflections. Wit and humor too were not wanting to vary the scene, and the writers had learned 10 begue the way to literature and science by scattering in their path the flowers which may and ought to accompany h. Tho exhibition of Music showed what the care snd attention of most excellent teacher of tha, nc. accomplishment. had effected; but iO those only who a.- aeaded ihe last exhibition did this appear to the great est Adsaniage-the improvement of the pupils since that time was indeed great But the display of draw. tags was peculiarly calculated draw forth applause --is certainly surpassed any before exhibited. And while the judicisus arrangement of Ighs and shade aad colors showed great science in the pup the skill i" perspective such for the momen. 10 deceive shs observer. and induce him suppose he was view- ing the reality rather than the was half inclined suspect ial the mas,er-land of heinstruciress had a least put the finishing touch ahe picture, till assurance the contrary increased
 y admiration of that sk kill which was 90 bounliiny imparted Go the learners.
 Butof the excellence ef ,his ancient and well pro. sed seminary cannot well judge from the exbibi- ions alone-it s by an opportunity to learn the mode ofinsirac,ion, and of witnessing s effect the mind that we must dec ide--it is the unparaeled ambition
 which is hese daily excited that invgorates the pupils
 lheir exer.ionsnre great, and tier success psnds-each receives the credit which is due, and the simple sysiem which is adopted does justice to a and is csrsain criterion of fexceIisace.
 Amo ng ths similar insliiuiions of the day. this siiIi re,ains i.s hgh eminenee; and it is fact which speaks loudly in its praise, that whenever yoang lady has completed her and returned to her home, her place in the seminary seldom fails of being more than supplied by accessiOns from her im- mediate neighborhood.
 The public Oushs and will eOntinve so patrOuise ihis insiisa,on. c.
