| have been somewhat acquainted with pr
and Mrs Tosno'S School ever since its csiab
lishuenl, but have known il more particularly
Throughout, the past year During that l:ne, one
Of my own daughters and two other Young reia
tves, members of my own household, have beer
enrolled among their pupils, as they, with The ad
dilon Of another niece, will continue 10 be. a.
far as my opportunities have enabled me II
Judge, there is ~ female school in this Country
which would prefer 10 this. Whilst ] believe
Dr.. Tosno 10 be well qualified 10 teach other To-
reign languages, both The French and Italian may
Grench and Engli>h MAY he retkoncd those O
Mrs. Togno. Persons well qualified 10 Judge
consider Mrs. TosDo not only 10 possess rare
degree OF skill in her own musical performances
vocal as well as The piano. but 10 be still more
remarkable for her successful mode oil teaching
music 10 others. And have no doubt Tia, iheli
ability 20 instruct in the other branches which
they profess 10 teach is ample.
They are worthy communicates in the Epsco
pal Church, and have every reason 10 be salts
fed with the moral and religious influence o.
their School, deemng il not only salu,ary in itself
but unalloyed by the spirit Of prosclylism, which
is said 10 exist in some institutions.
Few institutions are 10 be found On this CONT
nenl which, in point Of health or facility Of access
are preferable 10 WncheseI; and, perhaps, none
which, in the solid worth OF its Inhabitants, cx
GELS this place There are Churches here OF al
most every Protestant denomination, known IL
Virginia; and is believed that, in every instance
the pulpit is occupied by person who woald *
approved by parents Of BIZ own persuasion.
These considerations, and The General in,elii-
oence and social worth Of DR.. and Mrs. To9no
their benevolent dispositions, and the interest they
manifest in the cultivation not only Of The under
standings, but of the morals and manners OF lheil
pupils, have saisiiedme, thai person, who are dis
rosed 10 send their daughters OF wards 10 !
School out OF their own house, cannot do better
than 10 place them in this Seminary.
When any of nv distant friends desire me tc
do 50, will chcc;ully select for hem an eligible
boarding house, which indeed will not he dill
cul; task, as there are several mos. respectable
and pious families here, otrarious denominations
who are willing 10 receive :ounG ladies as board.

My desire 10 see a school prosper, which con.

reside and in The perlnGncLcy OF which ! feel q
strong personal Interest; my high esteem for Dr.
Togno and his accomplished ady, a sense ul
gratitude for inesima5le services most skil;ullv
unrcmi,iingly and iendery rendered 10 me b.

firm conviction that ! NAV thus serve MAN. an

For girls who have passed the first Stage Of
their educaion-say from 10 or Il years Of age
would cheerlully and strongly recommend Mrs
Tosno's School, which have had goo! orporlu-
mites 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 their pursuits, 50 essen
tial to success.
The social standing refinement, and genuine
worth OF the Doctor and Mrs. Togno are such
that shall esteem it fortunate 10 have the opror-
tuny oil confdng 10 their charge my own daush
ter. at an age when her mind and manners are 10
receive the most durable impress.
