The Department of Music is under the SUPER
vision of one Of the most accurate and accom-
plshed teachers in the State; and it is believed
that unusual facilities are afforded for acquiring
a thorough knowledge Of this difficult science
In addxiea 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 ear. and the voice, and toimpart an
easy and Brilliant execution $50 -

cal instruction, they acquire tho art Of reading
music with facility. yssSss5-. /.
They arc required to be rrgnT1 and systernat-
1 ic in practising daily at the Institute.
The training and cultivation of the voice,
receive an unusual degree Of attention. Tho
science of Elocution is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, wifi great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visited
bya 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 conciu
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
