TO LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
TIME Advertiser n Erenchman and grad

TNHE Advertiser. Frenchman and grad
II uate Of the Polytechnic School OF Paris, re-
spectfuIy offers his services as a teacher OF his
native tongue 10 Schools, Classes, and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity. The system he
follows TO facilitate the acquisition Of the French
Language, unites in due proportion theory and
practice; by which are avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing one of the
many theoretical grammars not sufficiently show
ing the idiomaucal part Of the language, or prac.
tical one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, If not entirely, at least far too much are
neglected In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time TO The mere me-
morizing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of a number of set phrases, valuable it is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting his method may, with
little effort, after course Of fortv-eiQh lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the as
sistance Of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution Of the studies Of that language.
Instruction in Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting,
and Penmanship, can also be had from the adver-
tIser
References in success in teaching etc, etc, will
be given.

The Municipal EslectiOn.-Two weeks from
yesterday will take place an election for Collector
Register Surveyor, an Alderman and three Com
mon Councilmen H. for each of The seven words, and
three or four Assessors.
The Anti-Know-notbihgs have no, only made
their nominations, but publicly announced them,
while the Know nothings have endeayored TO con-
cea their movements on the subject from all ex-
cept citizens who are connected with their secret
organization, in accordance with the principles OF
their association But, there being "leaky yes
sells" in the councils few of their nominations
have oozed out, in spite Of their efforts 10 preserve
secrecy until the day OF election Several ofihose
returned 10 the City Councils last year have been
superseded on the ticket by new men, not 10 the
satisfaction of the incumbenis soon 10 beHhrusl

men of City Fathers. !"
The hings have, the main,
made good selections, embracing the names of
gentlemen who have hitherto rendered good ser
vice IN the municipal councils.
Last year, the total aggregate vote for Mayor
was five thousand five hundred and sixly-four,
and the majority of Mr.. Towers over Mr.. Maury
was four hundred and Ihrty.six Judging from
present indications, the vote on the FIRST Monday
in June will be much larger, as both parties are
thoroughly organized and making strenuous
efforts 10 bring the strength of each, respec-
lively. The contest will be at least as, if not
more, spirited than heretofore; and even the fall
of Sebastopol, if ever that event shall take place.
will not be Of interest equal TO the result OF our
municipal eiecuon--so far as the voters of Wash
ington concerned, to say nothing of thepeope
elsewhere who are nervously affected with regard
10 the political questions at issue.
