ST. MARY'S COUNTY MD.

VIE Trustees take pleasure in announcing to the
Il public that this institution is now, in every
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. Marys, remarkable a.
like for its beauty its heathfnlness and its facility
of access and affords ample accommodations for at
least eighty boarders In the same 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 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 convenlences a 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 be will be by his amable
wife, the trustees have entire confidence The pu-
pills, however, will be at all times under the imme-
date care of the teachers, who have charge of their
religious we'll intellectual education. In maxi
ing their selection, the trustees have not only been
fortunate in obtaining ladies of the highest qualf-
cations and accomplishments, but also of different
creeds, so that it will be the duty of each to mpar
religious instruction to the children of their respec
tive persuasions.
Although the remarkable healthfulness of the
situation would seem to render the precaution
necessary, yet to obviate 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 in
the least favored parts of the county. The schoas
tic year will terminate on the first Friday after the
18th of July, and the regular of instruction
be suspended for two months thereafter.
The Seminary isaready of convenient access both
by the Potomac and Patuyent steamboats,, and will
soon become still more 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, 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.
Applications for admittance or other information
should be made to the Principal.
