The Trustees congratulate themselves, their
friends and the public, on what they now con-
slider the pcrmancnt establishment of an instu-
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
dencc. TO recommend the Institution to the pat
ronaec of the community.
THE School was opened on the 18th of Sep
tcmber last, with thirty-onc Pupils, and has
since been gradually increasing. 1t is confident.
" expected that the number III 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 Il large collection Of Maps:
Anatomical Charts, Globes, &c; Museum of
Natural History Cabinet of Minerals and
Shells. furnish unusual facilities for acquiring
q practical knowledge Of the different branches
Of Science.
The course Of Study is Of an elevated charac-
tor, and more comprehensive, thar that of most
female institutions of the highest reputation.
The PpJScIrAL devntes the whole Of his time
to the super :isiun 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 Acadcmical year is divided into Sessions
of ID 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 few weeks delay may affect the
standing of the pupil throughout the year.

| MUSICAL DEPAR TN1EM M :
The Department of Music is under the super
vision of one Of the most accurate and accom-
p!ishrd 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 Pcs,auzzi.
They devote much time to exercises. adapted
to train the car. and the voice, and TO impart an
easy and brilliant execution.
II they pursue lIe prescribed course Of mnsi-
cal instruction. they acquire the art of reading
music with facility.
They are required to he 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 Elocuton is here applied in develop
ing the voice for singing, with great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visitcd
BY a large number Of the ladies and gentlemen
Of our village, who have invariably expressed
the highest degree of satisfaction, ut 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 concu-
son that while in their opinion. there are many
institutions of learning deserredly popular in our
State. Yet there are none which can furnish
greater or more substantial advantages 10 yonng
Ladies' than that under the charge Of Mr.. RAY
MoSD.
