TVHE Winter Term of Samuel M. Ensign's
 -1- School, in South Farms, will commence on the first Monday in November. The stu- dies usually pursued in similar institutions will be taught in this. The Mansion House has heen fitted up at great expense duVing the past season. expressly for the purpose of accom-. modating large family of b"arders. There are in the buildings belonging to this institu- ton between % and so lodging rooms. with accommo dati"ns for a Are in nearly all of them. Young gentlemen or ladies who may wish for the exclusive use of room can be accommo. dated. The long experience of the proprie tor, in teaching. and managing large family, and his unremitted care in giving instruct n, and insilIing in the minds of youth the prin- ciples of virtue and religion, it is believed are sufficient inducements to parents to give this institution a share of patronage.
