I1UyHESE Institutions have just closed

most promising circumstances Inc

assembly. which witnessed it, of the abb
Ility and faithfulness of the Instructors
who are employed in the Institutions
They therefore confidently expect con
tinuance and an increase OF that patron

As both Institutions were founded by
the same persons and are under the di-
rection of the same Board of Trustees,
it was thought better to have them under
the supervision of the same presiding
officer. In other respects, however,
they are totally separate. No inter
course is tolerated, on any account, be-
tween the pupils Of the two, unless by
the direction and under the management
of the Faculty and Trustees. The
Trustees wish the public to know that
this regulation will be strictly enforced.
The rules of both Institutions are de-
signed to be strict, but not unreasonable,
and a strict conformity to them will of
course be exacted as far as possible from
every pupil both Male and Female.
1t is wished, however, and intended by
the Trustees and Faculty. to make the
government of the Institutions parental.
Kindness and tenderness are to be ming
led with strictness, and even with pun
ishment, when punishment is necessary.
The principles and precepts Of our holy
religion are required to be taught and
practised in the Institutions, and for this
purpose, the Bible is made a text book,
but every thing sectarian is excluded.
The Trustees are sorry to learn that
reports have gone abroad, unfavorable to
the moral character of these Institutions,
and to feel themselves under the neces-
sity of adding that such reports are ut
terly without foundation. On the other
hand they are satisfied that public conf
dence in the character, management,
and prospects of the Institutions, as far
as they are known, has never been so
great as it is now, and they are fully
satisfied that this confidence is not mis-
placed.
In conclusion, the Trustees would sug-
gest that they feel themselves to have
engaged an arduous, but good work
The unparalleled Pecuniary difficult
ties of the country must of necessity
embarrass and retard them very much
in carrying out their plan. They new
do not despair of placing these
Institutions amongst the very first of this
great valley. They are confident of
deserving the patronage of Liberal and
intelligent public, and are equally conf
dent that they will receive it.
