ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MD.

TINHE Trustees take pleasure in announcing to the
l. public that this institution is now, in every
spect, prepared for the reception of pupils. Orgi-
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 commodous
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 boardeis. In the same spirit of toera-
ton which first emanated from that sacred spot it
has no especial connection 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 forthe 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 on clean and bold
shore for salt water bathing during the summer sea-
son. The boarding department is under the control
of a 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-
diate of the teachers who have charge Of their
religious as we'll intellectual education. In max
ing their selection, the trustees have not only been
fortunate in obtaining ladies of the highest quaf-
cations and accomplishments, but also of different
creeds so that it will be the duty of each to mpart
religious instruction to the children of their respec
tive 'porsuasinns.
Although the remarkable heathfulness of the
situation would seem to render the precauton
necessary, yet to obviate an objection which some
parents in the elevated regions of the State
might have to sending their children to tide water
section, the trustees have resolved to allow but
nd for hat tn he
during which malarious sickness prevails even in
the least favored parts of the county. The scholas
tic year will terminate on the first Friday after the
18th 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
wharf Immediately on the spot, at which steam
boat is expected to call at least twice a 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 insti
tuition being established entirely for the public good
and not for private or individual emolument there
are few charges possible and all reduced to the
very lowest rates.
Applications for admittance or other information
should be made to the Principal.
