sicr the pcrmancn; establishment of an insiItl-
ton of learning Of so high character in their
District. The benefits which their own csidrrm,
with others. have experienced during the past
Session, enables them with the greater coni-
dcnce to recommend the Institution 10 the pat
ronacc Of the community.
The School was opened on the 18th Of Sep

since been gradually increasing II is confident

MUSICAL D,EPAR MSN ] .
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 arc afforded f"r acquiring
n 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 car. and the voice, and to impart an
easy and brilliant execution.
If they pursue the prescribed course Of mus-
cal instruction, they acquire the art of reading
music with facility.
They are required 10 be regular and systcmat-
ic in practising daily at the Institute.
The training and cultivation of the voice.
receive an unusual degree Of attention. The
science of Eocution is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, with great 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 descrvcdly popular in oul
State, vet there are none which can furnish
greater or more substantial advantages to young
Ladies than that under the charge Of Mr. RAY
