WE have concluded, that as for the last
w month we have refused every thing in
the shape of money except specie, or the notes
of specie paying banks, for our goods, our
friends and customers are entitled to some ex-
PLANTATION for such an unusual proceeding
While our Books are on our shelves we feel
safe SO far as concerns the payment of the
debts which we incurred in the purchase of
thcse Books, for this reason, that they may be
returned to our creditors at any time, and cred
it received for them: if we exchange them for
paper which is only worth half its nominal val
ue, we loose by the trade, although we may re-
ceive 100 per cent. more than the original
cost, for we are then minus the expense and
interest on the amount of said property; be-
sides, not having the wherewith to pay for our
" bread and butter" which, contrary to the
opinions of some, we hold to be Indispensable
To the oft repeated question, "why do you not
take the currency at its discount !" we an
swer that we do not keep sharing shop.
We pledge ourselves conscientiously to re-
duce our prices to a consistent scale with the
value of the money received, which viii con-
tinue to be par funds IN all cases. In settling
accounts we shall endeavor to make the pro-
per discount on all articles which may have
been overcharged on the score of deprecated
currency. So mote 1t be.

MISSISSIPPI FEMALE COLLEGE

A I the last session Of this Institution, the |
IA following resolutions were adopted by the |
Board of Trustees, which will continue in force
the ensuing session:
RESOLVED, That the board of each young lady
be 800 per session of twenty weeks, to be
paid one half in advance.
This sum is intended to include room, bed
ding, fuel, washing, and all other contingent
and extra charges connected with the boarding
department.
Resolred, That the prices Of Tuition be as
follows:
Preparatory Department, pr session, $40 90
Advanced Department, 20 90
This Department embraces all the studies
usually taught in the higher schools.
ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT.
Music, including the use ofthe Piano, $50 90
Needle " ork, Is 90
Drawing and Painting, Is 90
Painting in Oh, % 90
Transferring,
Shell work, / 90
Wax work,
1t will be perceived from the foregoing reso-
lutions, that the rates of boarding and tuition
have be changed from the former prices
This course the Trustees have been obliged to
adopt. They have employed competent and
efficient instructesses, who must be literally
compensated, and the resources of the institu-
ton are the only fund from which that COM
pensation should be drawn. Hitherto this fund
has proved insufficient.
The rates which are now established, both
for board and tuition, are such as are adopted
in other and neighboring schools, and are such
as the necessities of the College demand.
ResOlued, That no young lady be admitted
as student in the College till the phole tut
ton, and half the boarding fees be paid at the
time Shej Joins the College.
