TNHE Trustees take pleasure in announcing to the
IL public that this institution is now, in every re-
spect prepared for the reception of pupils Origi-
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 tor at
least eighty boarders. In the spirit of tolera-
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 divided into rooms
designed for the accommodations from two to four
persons each Immediately adjacent is bathing
"a wash room abundantly supplied with both warm
cod water; whilst within less than an hundred
hrds there conveniences on a clean and bold
% water bathipn da the sl r1a,'alr aee-

/he will be by his amiable
s-1R@ entire confidence. The pu-
will be at all times under the inlme-
-. The teachers, who have charge of their
Ls'ssla S well as intellectual education. In max
selection, the trustees have not only been
g.tin obtaining ladies of the highest qualf-
is and accomplishments, but also of different
eligous instruction to the children of their respec-
tive persuasons.
Although the remarkable healthfulness of the
tuaton would seem to render the precaution un-
eessary, yet to obvate an objection which some
ISpas2ts in the elevated regions of the State
might have to sending their children to tide water
section, the trustees have resolved to allow but
vacation, and for that to embrace the only season
during which malarous sickness prevails even in
the least favored parts of the county. The schoas
tic year will terminate the first Friday after the
18th of July, and the regular of instruction
be suspended for two months thereafter.
The Seminary isalready of convenient access both
by the Potomac and Patuyent steamboats,, and will
soon become still more SO by the completion of
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
nished without extra charge and indeed the nsti-
tuition being established entirely for the public good
and not for private or individual emolument there
few charges possible and all reduced to the
very lowest rates.
