VIE Trustees take pleasure in announcing to the
l. public that this institution is now in every re-
spect, prepared for the reception of pupils Orig-
mating IN the patriotism of the Legislature and
founded by the patronage Of the State it presents
advantages and attractions rarely enjoyed by similar
establishments. The beautiful and commodious
building is situated on the commanding site of the
old Provincial capital at st. Mary's, remarkable a.
like for its beauty its healthfulness and its facility
Of access; and affords ample accommodations for at
least eighty boarders. In the spirit of oera-
ton which first emanated from that sacred spot, it
has no especial connexion with any favored Sect
but is conducted upon the most liberal principles of
Christianity, the moral and religious education of
children of different persuasions being equally
though carefully attended to.
The sleeping apartments are divided into rooms
designed for the accommodation Of from two to four
persons each. Immediately adjacent is bathing
and wash room abundantly supplied with both warm
and cold water; whilst within less than an hundred
yards there are conveniences clean and bold
shore for salt water bathing during the summer sea-
son. The boarding department is under the control
of gentleman in whose character, management
and attention, aided as he will be by his amiable
wife, the trustees have entire confidence The pu-
pills, however, will be at all times under the imme
date of the teachers who have charge of their
religious we'll intellectual education. In max
ing their selection the trustees have not only been
fortunate in obtaining ladies of the highest qualfi
cations and accomplishments but also of different
creeds, so that it wbe the duty of each to impart
religious instruction to the children of their respec
tive persuasions.
Although the remarkable healthfulness of the
situation would seem to render the precauton I'M
necessary, yet to obvate an objection which some
parents in the more elevated regions of the State
might have to sending their children to tide water
section the trustees have resolved to allow but one
vacation, and for that to embrace the only season
during which malarious sickness prevails even in
the least favored parts of the county. The scholas
tic year will terminate the first Friday after the
9Th OF July, and the regular course OF instruction
be suspended for two months thereafter.
The Seminary is already Of convenient access both
by the Potomac and Patuyent steamboats,, and will
soon become still more SO by the completion of a
wharf Immediately on the spot, at which steam
boat is expected to call at least twice week.
All the instruments and apparatus necessary for
the illustration of Chemistry, Astronomy, and the
various other branches of natural science, are fur
nshed without extra charge; and indeed the insti-
tuition being established entirely for the public good
and not for private or individual emolument there
as few charges possible and all reduced to the
very lowest rates.
