TvHE Trustees ofthe Litch field Female Aed-
n DENY, il consequence OF recent change
IN some of the principal instructors, consider
Il their duty to state ID the public the present
c0ndition and prospects, Of this Institution.
This school was founded about forty years
since by Miss Sarah Pierce and under her
care and supeFintendence il early acquired
Distinguished rank among the literary insIiil-
tions Of our country. This rank il has fully
sustained 10 the present time. There nave
generally been young ladies ia this school from
one half the States 10 the Union. and the num-
bet has varied from 80 to $50. Miss Fierce
has now retired from the performance OF any
active duties in this institution; but she feels
! deem interest il its prosperity, and will visit
Il daily; and it is to be hoped that, as hereto
fore, ia answer to her prayers, the blessing OF
heaven may descend upon il. Mr.. JOHN z.
Brdee. who for eighteen years was very able
and distinguished instructor in this school,
nearly year since accepted the appointment
OF Principal in the Female Scminaryat Hart
ford. Notwithstanding the removal Of these
eminent instructors, the Trustees state. with
high qualification, that in their opinion this ln-
stitntiOn has never been more worthy OF pub
lie confidence aud patronage, and its prospects
have never been more aattering, than at the
present time.
Miss Henrietta Jones, the present Principal,
apppinted by the Trustees, received her sdu-
cation in this academy. She has had hve
years experience as an instructress; and the
Trustees, from regard to her feelings, will on
" add in her recommendation. that they consi-
der her, by her talents and requirements. as
= emissensly qualified for ihe station they have
assigned her. There are others associated
with her to instruct in the various branches
which have heretofore been taught in this
school, in whose qualifications the Trustees
have entire confidence.
The French Language, Music and Dr0iCing
will he taught by Miss EUeiino Gimbred. who.
with her mother, Mrs. Gimbred, has removed
to this village. They viii receive young la
dies as boarders IN their family. The father
of This yonDglady was 2 Professors Teach
ef Of Drawing, at the Military Academy at
West Point; 10 which institution it is well
known that none but highly respectable and
well educated persons are ever employed as
Professors. This gentleman gave this daugh-
Ter an education with view 10 qualify her to
teach the French language, and to become an
insiructress in Drawing and in consequence
Of his death, his family are left to provide for
Themselves. They arc native French people,
but they speak our language fuently and cor
Fectly. These ladies propose to remain per-
uoanently in this village; and the Trustees
consider the arrangement they have made with
them az an extremely interesting event 70 the
friends Of the Female Academy in this place.
