i 9th of January 1852.
The Trustees congratulate themselves, their
friends and the public, on what they now con-
slider the permanent establishment of an institu-
ton of learning of SO high character in their
District The benefits which 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
ronaee Of the community.
The School was opened on the 18th of Sep
tember last, with thirty-one Pupils, and has
since beei. gradually increasing. II is confident
ly 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 arg
used, for purposes of Instruction
fine apparatus; q large collection of Maps;
Anatomical Charts, Globes, &c; Museum Of
Natural History; Cabinet of Minerals and
Shells; furnish unusual facilities for acquiring
a 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
The PRINCIPAL devotcs the whole of his time
to the supervision and instruction of the various
classes.
The Assistants are experienced in their diffe-
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 Glasses are then
formed, and a few weeks delay may affect the
standing of the pupil throughout the year.

MUSICAL DgPAR 17MgM77s
The Department of Music is under the super
vision of one Of the most accurate and accom-
plished 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 Pestalozzi.
They devote much time to exercises, adapted
to train the ear. and the voice, and to impart an
easy and brilliant execution.
If they pursue the prescribed course of rnus-
cal instruction. they acquire the art threading
music with facility. zs -
They are required to be regular and Fsystemat-
ic in practising daily at the Institute.
The training and cultivation. of the voice,
receive an unusual degree Of attention. The
science of ,Eloeution is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, with grea. effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visited
by a 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 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 deservedly 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 Mr.. RAY
MoHD.
