TINI1E 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 connections
building Is situated on the commanding site of the
old Provincial capital at st. Marys, remarkable
like for its beauty its heathfncss and its facility
OF access; and affords ample accommodations for at
least eighty boarders In the same spirit of tolcra-
ton which first cmanated 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 arc divided into rooms
designed for the accommodation of from two to four
persons each Immediately ad accnt is bathing
and wash room abundanty supplied with both warm
and cold water; whilst within less than an hundred
yards there arc convenienccs on a clean and bold
shore Tor 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 amiablc
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 maxi
ing their selection the trustees have not only been
fortunate in obtaining ladies of the highest qualii-
cations and accomplishments, but also of different
creeds that it will be the duty of each to ipart
religious instruction to the children of their respcc-
tive persuasions.
Although the remarkable healthfulness of the
situation would seem to render the precaution I'M
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 even 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 course of instruction
be suspended for two months thereafter.
The Seminary salready Of convenient access both
by the Potomac and PatuSent steamboats,, and will
soon become still more so by the completion of
wharf Immediately on the spot, at which a steam
boat is expected to call at least twice Il week.
All the instruments and apparatus necessary for
the illustration of Chemistry, Astronomy, and the
various other branches of natural science, are fur
hlshed without extra charge; and indeed the insti-
tuition being established entirely for the public good
and not for private or individual emoument, there
few charges as possible and all reduced to the
very lowest rates.
