"THE ExAMINATIoN.-The Summer
Session Of tins Institution closed on Friday
OF last week, the 18th Of July. 1861
The Senior Glass was examined on Tues
day and Wednesday, the 9Th and 10Th inst.
The examination was thorough throus, hout
and r. Hected upon both teachers AMI pupils
the higest honor.
"lhe graduating class Of The preceding
wear elected the universal recommendation
Of all who Witnessed their eXauIinatlUn.-
And many OF our most intelligent citizens
who were then present, expressed the opin.
ion tina, they had never before Witnessed
an exam. nation OF young ladies who dis
played an equal acquaintance with the va
rious branches upon which they were ex-
ahmed. It's deemed no disparagement TO
that class, and is esteemed the highest
compliment 10 Me present graduates TO say
that the latter equalled The former. What.
ever or wherever The associations OF either
NAV hereafter be. they will not reflect dis
credit upon the Institution whose honOrs
they have merled aud received.
"THE UNDER. GRApUATEs.-The under.
graduates evincpd thorough understand
ing of the different studies which had
claimed their attention during the past ses-
sion. 1t was evident TO all present from
the mode Of examination adopted by the
teachers. 'ha, the pupils had not been pre-.
viously informed as TO the particular ques-
lions which should be addressed TO them in
the various branches upon which they were
examined. No such deception Is here
pracliced. The pupils vii! exhibit an ex,
ieni OF intelligence al all times and under
all circumstances, equal to that which their
scholastic EXAMINATION would Indicate"
PopUI.ARITY.-Three years have now
elapsed since this Institution went into Ope-
ration with less than a hall dozen pupils.

Into existence against u stronger current OF
opposition, and but few have so successful.

institution Is not Chartered, nor 10 II tha
wish Of It's friends that II should be. They
prefer it should continue 10 rest as il now
does. upon merits pi far different and
much higher character. II owes its origin
to voluntary effort aud ASSOCIATION. caused
by deep solicitnde for the establishment
and promotion Of The highest standard Of
female educatiou."
