+ Second Session Will coHiiicnce oh sns
i 9th of January 1852. -
The Trustees congratulate themselves, 'heif
friends and the public, on what they now con-
slider the permanent establishment of an lns,ltu-
ton Of learning of so high character IN lne'r
District The benefits which their own chiidren,
with others, have experienced during the past
Session, enables them with the greater conf1-
dence, to recommend the Institution to the pat
ronace Of the community.
The School was opened on the 18th of Sep
tcmber last, with thirty-one Pupils, and has
since bccn gradually increasing. II IS confident,
~ expected that the number in attendance VIII
be greatly increased during the next Session.
The Institute building now contains seven
rooms. all of Which have been built, and are
used, for purposes of instruction.
A fine apparatus: large collection of Maps !;
Anatomical Charts, Globes, &eia Museum OF
Natural History; Cabinet of Minerals and
Shells; furnish unusual facilities for acquiring
practical knowledge of the I'ifferent branches
Of Science.
The course Of Study is of an elevated charac-
ter. and more comprehensive, than that of most
female institutions of the highest reputat: on.
The PRIYclrAL dcvotcs the whole Of his time
to the super sion and instruction OF the various
classes.
The Assistants arc cxperienced;in their diffe-
rent Departments, and those only of known sue
cess in teaching are employed.
The Acadcmical year is divided into Sessions
of ii weeks each. 1t ia of great Importance
that the student be present at the commence
ment of the Session. The Classes are then
formed, and few weeks delay may affect the
standing of the pupil throughout the year.

MUSICAL D5PAR TM!EN r. .
The Department of Music is under the super
vision of one of the most accurate and accom-
pshcd teachers in the State and it is believed
that unusual facilities are afforded for acquiring
thorough knowledge of this difficult science.
In addition to regular private lessons, the pupils
in this department are divided into classes, and
taught on the plan of Pcstalozzi.
They devote much time to exercises, adapted
to train the car. and the voice, and to impart an
easy and brilliant execution.
IF they pursue the prescribed course Of musi-
cal instruction. they acquire the art Of reading
music with facility.
They arc required to he regular and systemat-
c in practising daily at the Institute.
The training and cultivation of the voice,
receive an unusual degree Of attention. The
science of Elocuton is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, with great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visited
hv large number of the ladies and gentlemen
Of our village, who have invariably expressed
the highest degree of satisfaction, at what they
have heard ard seen of the proficiency Of the
Pupils and the arrangement of the Institute.
And the Trustees have only TO add in conclu-
sion, that while in their opinion, there are many
institutions of learning deservedy popular in our
State, Yet there are none which can furnish
greater or more substantial advantages to young
Ladies than that under the charge of MIR. RAY
MoHD.
