Mas. wrlLARD's SEMINARY OF THE MysEs AND
GRAcEs-We were mach vexed at the time that we
were prevented from attending the examination of
the pupils of Mrs. Wizards celebrated Seminary at
Troy, at the conclusion OF the February term. The
course Of education pursued there with much sue
cess embraces almost every branch Of science, NOR
al scholastic, and physical, while the recreatons are
calculated to develope the mind and bsdy, refreshing
the latter while the former is correspendingy deve-
Hoped.
A few weeks age the half yearly examination of
the pupils took place; and regret that eur limits
will not justify our giving comprehensive and par
ticular analysis of the exercises on that OCCASION
We can only advert the NEST conspicuous mistress
ses Of arts, among whom were the Misses o. X. and
r. s. ofNatchez, (Miss) whose proficiency in French
was the theme of approving comment, 80 Partisan

ce-mates were delighted IN the praises upon
her. so much had she endeared herself 10 all, by the
sweetness of her temper, and boundless disposition
to obge Miss c. j. A. Of ID. in this state, approved
herself to general satisfaction in the encyclopedia Of
feminine attalnmen,s. The mysteries OF Euclid were
ably demonstrated by Miss M. J. II. of Troy, who
was gate au fat in the philosophy OF the hypothe-
muse in the qualities Of an sosceles triangle and in all
those self-evdent problems in which Py,hagoras de-
lighted and which Aristotle illustrated. Moral philo
sophy met with fair, youthful, and bnght-eyed ex-

elaborate mechanism Of that most complicated OF Ian
guages the Latin in style that would have forced q
smile Of appreciation from the brow Of Prscian, Sea-
Tiger, and Lpsas, while ST. Augusiin would have sa-
u,ed her with fraternal kiss for her elegance, and
the admirable Crchion have blushed to ind HIM
self eclipsed in one Of his requirements. Miss +.

city, were conspicuous for the fuency and elegance
with which they conversed in French; Miss A. M. u
