lures are delivered, accompanied with experimental
illustrations. The Music department is furnished
with ten new and very superior instruments and is
conducted by 3 gentleman Teacher, aided by four

not go abroad without n proper attendant. They
are not allowed to visit, nor to receive calls, nor to
attend any exhibition without permission from the

months each, commencing on the I'd Wednesdays
of October and March. The vacation is from the

tober. Students can enter any time and are charged
