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
dcnce, to recommend the Institution TO the pat
ronaec of the community.
The School was opened on the 18th of Sep
tember last with ihirty-one Pupils, and las
since been gradually increasing. 1t is confident
" 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.
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 nm elevated charac-
ter, and more comprehensive, than TINT Of most
female institutions of the highest reputation.
The Pn,xcIpAL devotes the whole Of his time
10 the super :isiun and instruction of the various
classes.
The Assistants are experienced in their dic-
rent Departments, and th"se only of known sue
cess in teaching are employed.
The Academcal year is divided into Sessions
of il weeks each. 1t is Of great importance
that the student be present at the commence

formed, and Il few weeks delay may affect the
standing of the pupil throughout the year.

MUSICAL DgPAR I7MLSGN r.
The Department of Music is nndcr the super
visiun of one Uf the most accurate and accom-
plsllcd 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 m Prstalozzi.
They devote much time to exercises, adapted
to train the ear. and the voice, and TO impart an
ci,sy and brilliant execution.
II they pursue tile prescribed course OF mus-
cal instruction. they acquire the art OF reading
music will, facility.
They are required to be regular and srstemat-
ic in practising daily at the Institute.
The training and cultivation Of the voice,
receive an unusual degree Of attention. Tile
science of Elocution is here 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 ard 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. vet there are none which can furnish
greater or more substantial advantages to young
Ladies' than that under the Charge Of Mr.. RAY
MoSD.
