Dr. and Mrs 1ogno's Female Seminary.
| have been somewhat acquainted with Dr.
and Mrs. Tognos School, ever since its establish.
ment, but have known il more particularly
throughout the past year. During that time, one
OF my own daughters and Two other young rela-
lives, members of my own household, have been
enrolled among their pupils as they, with The adj
dition of another niece, will continue TO be. As
far as my opportunities have enabled me 10
Judge there is no female school, in this country,
which would prefer to this. Whilst believe
DR.. Tosno 10 be we'll qualified 10 teach other TO-
reign languages, both the French and Italian may

Mrs Togno Persons we'll qualified 10 Judge,
consider Mrs. Togno not only 10 possess rare
degree Of skill in her own musical performances,
vocal as we'll as the piano, but 10 be still more
rcmarkab for her successful mode of teaching
music 10 others And ] have no doubt that their
ability to instruct in the other branches which
they profess 10 teach is ample
They are worthy communicates in the Epis-
copal Church, and have every reason 10 be sat
ished with the moral and religious influence o.
their school, decming it not only sautary in ITSELF
bu, unaloyed by the spirit of proscly'Sm which
is said to exist in some institutions.
Few institutions are TO be found on this CONT
nent, which in point of health or facility Of ac-
cess, are preferable TO Winchester; and, perhaps,
none, which, in the solid worth OF It's inhabitants
exces this place There are churches here OF al
most every Protestant denomination, known in
Virginia, and il is believed that in every instance
the pulp, is occupied by person who would be
approved b. parents OF his own persuasion.
These considerations and the general intelli-
cence and social worth Of DR.. and Mrs. Tosno
their benevolent dispositions, and The interest they
manifest in the cultivation not only OF The under
standings but OF the morals and manners OF their
pupils, have satisfied me, that persons who are
disposed TO send their daughters or wards to a
school out OF their own house, cannot do better
than 10 place them in this Seminary.
When any of my distant friends desire me 10
do SO, will cheeriully select for them an eligible
boarding house, which indeed will not be diiil'
cult task, as there are several most respectable
and pious families here. ofvarious denominations
who are willing to receive young ladies as BOARD,

For girls who have passed the first stage OF
their ed1cation-say from 10 or l2years ofage-
I would cheerfully and strongly recommend Mrs.
Tosno's School, which have had good oppor-
tuniies for observing, from its first establishment
Mrs. T. possesses, in remarkable degree, the
talent of commanding the respect, confidence and
affection of her pupils, and of inspiring them
with that interest and ardor in theils .5dits, SO
essential TO success.
The social standing, refinement, and genuine
worth of the Doctor and Mrs. Togno are such,
hat shall esteem it fortunate to have the oppor-
unity OF con6ding 10 their charge my own
daughter, at an age when her mind and manners
are n receive the most durable impress.
