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
ronaec of the community. 49,
The School was opened on the 18th OF Sep
tember last, with thrty-one Pupils, and has
since been gradually increasing. It is confident
ly expected that the 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.

MUSICAL DGPAR TIME N]'T :.
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
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 Pestalozzi.
They devote much time to exercises, adapted
to train the ear. and the voice, and to impart an
easy and brilliant execution. T5sS. q. ssss5s Z
If they pursue the prescribed course -of 1iusi-s
cal instruction, they acquire the art Of reading;
music with facility fssss:ss ss-s
They are required to be regular and systcmat- {
ic in,practising daily at the Institute
The training and cultivation Of the voice,
receive an unusual degree Of attention. Tho
science of Eocution is here applied, in develop.
ing the voice for singing, with great effect. I -.
The Institution has been almost weekly visited
by a large number of the ladies' and gentlemen !;
Of our village, who have invariably expressed Z
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 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 Mr.. Ray
