THE Second Session will commence on the
i 9th of January 1852.
The Trustees congratulate Themselves, their
friends and the public, on-what they now con-
slider the permanent establishments Of an nstitu-
ton of learning Of so high a character in their
District. The beneftswllich their own children,
with others, have experienced during the past
Session. enables them with the greater conf
dence. to recommend the Institution to the pat
ronase of the community. -.
The School was opened on the 18th of Sep
tenlber last, with thirty.onc Pupils, and has
since been gradually increasing. 1t is confident
" expected that tho number in attendance will
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, &c; Museum of
Natural History; Cabinet of Minerals and
Shells; furnish unusual facilities for acquiring
practical knowledge of the different 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 reputation.
Tho PRINcIPAL devotes the whole of his time
to the super :sion and instruction Of the various
classes.
The Assistants are experienced in their diAe-
rent Departments, and those only of known sue
cess in teaching are employed.
The Academical year is divided into Sessions
of II weeks each. 1t is of great importance
that the student be present at the commence
ment of the Session. The Classes arc then
formed, and few weeks delay may affect the
standing of the pupil throughout the year.

The Department of Music is under the SUPER
vision of one Of the most accurate and accom-
plishcd teachers in the State; and it is believed
that unusual facilities are afforded for acquiring
a 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 Pestaluzzi.
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 wfrI ravftTy. . s-r - - :--s-
They arc required to be 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 Elocution ishcre applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, with great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visited
by large number of the ladies' and gentlemen
of our village, who. have invariably expressed
the highest degree of satisfaction, at what they
have heard and seen Of the proficiency of the
Pupils AMI the arrangement Of the Institute.
And the Trustees have only TO add in conclu-
sion. flat while inthcir opinion, there are many
institutions of learning deservedly popular in our
State, vet there arc none which can furnish
greater or more substantial advantages to young
Ladies than that under the charge Of MIR. Ray
MoNp.
