Dr. and Mrs. T1gno's Female Seminary.
| have been somewhat acquainted with DR..
and Mrs. Tognos School, ever since its establish
ment but have known it more particularly
throughout the past year. During that time, one
of my own daughters and two other young rela-
tives, 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 TO
Judge, there is no female school, in this country
which would prefer to this. Whilst ! believe
DR.. Togno TO be we'll qualified 10 teach other TO-
reign languages, both The French and Italian may
be considered his yernacular tongues, as the
French and English may be reckone1 those Of
MIS- 1OSuO. IclSOuS WCit qudluEl W
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
remarkable for her successful mode Of teaching
music to others. And have no doubt that their
| ability to instruct in the other branches which
they profess TO teach is ample
| They are worthy communicates in the Epis-
copal Church, and have every reason 10 be sat
isfed with the moral and religious influence Of
their school, deeming it not only salutary in ITSELF
but unalloyed BY the spirit Of proselytism 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 its inhabitants
eXcels this place. There are churches here of al
most every Protestant denomination, known in
Virginia, and it is believed that in every instance
the pulpit is occupied by person who would be
approved by parents Of his own persuasion.
These considerations and The general intelli-
gence and social worth of Dr. and Mrs. Tosno
their benevolent dispositions, and the interest they
manifest in the cultivation not only fthe 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
than TO place them in this Seminary.
When any of my distant friends desire me to
do so, will cheerfuy select for them an eligible
boarding house. which indeed will not be diff
cult task, as there are several most respectable
and pious families here, ofvarious denominations,
who are willing TO receive young ladies as board
ers.
My desire to see school prosper, which con-
slider 10 be an ornament 10 the town in which
reside, and in the permanency Of which feel
strong personal interest; my high esteem for Dr..
ND 4, IL LODI -
gratitude for inestimable services most skilfully,
unremitingly and tenderly rendered 10 me by
him in season OF overwhelming trouble, and
firm conviction that may thus serve many an
anxious parent, and among them some Of my
own personal friends, have conspireo TO induce
me to offer, unsolicited this testimonial to be ap-
pended under my own signature 10 the advertise
ment which have advised him to insert in this
paper. w. M. ATKINSON.

For girls who have passed the first stage OF
their educalion-say from 10 or l2years ofage-
would cheerfully and strongly recommend Mrs.
Togno's School, which have had good oppor-
tunities for observing, from its first establishment
Mrs. I. 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, SO
essential 10 success.
The social standing, refinement, and genuine
worth of the Doctor and Mrs Togno are such,
that shall esteem it fortunate to have the oppor
tunity of confding 10 their charge my own
daughter, at an age whom her mind and manners
are 10 receive the most durable impress.
