Female Institutions of Learning:


GoLDsBoRo' FEMALE CoLLEGE.-A Cata-
logue of this College is before US. It is a
young Institution, but we are glad to see
that it has a large number of Pupils embra-
cling 1856 young ladies from all parts of this
and the States adjoining. The almost unex-
ampled success with which it has met, is the
highest testimonial to its efficiency in impair
ting instructions to pupils, and commends it
to the patronage of the public. The next
session begins on the first Wednesday in
July.
The SoMERvILLE FEMALE INSTITUTE, at
Leasburg, Caswcll county, N. c., under that
experienced and able Instructor, Rev. Solo
mon Lea, has just issued a handsome pamph-
let containing a list of the Pupils, and the
rules and regulations of the institution, from
which we learn that it is in a thrifty condi-
ton, receiving the liberal patronage and sup
port of the community among whom he has
so long and favorably been known as u faith
full and competent Instructor.
GREENSBORO FEMALE CoLLEGE.-We are
indebted to the excellent President of the
Faculty of this superior Institution, for a
copy of the Catalogue of students, &c., for
the past session, from which we learn that it
is in the most prosperous condition, having
closed with lis students. The facilities for
acquiring a thorough education by young Ia
dies, as well as receiving the most faithful
attention, are as good IN Goldsboro' Female
College as in any College in the country
The next session commences on the last
t Thursday in July. See advertisement

! dents, &C., in the Male and Female Acade-
| mics at Jonesville, Yadkin county. The

IS Rg@ The Warrenton Female College closed
. it's second session with SO pupils. 1t has al
/ able Faculty and is taking high rank - {
s. literary institution. We think the Catalogue
q could have been just as neatly printed IL
our own State, however.
IN pF The same applies to the Oxford Fe
male College. We cannot exactly recognize
q the justice of an expectation to receive gra
n ~tuitous notice from North Carolina papers
ut when the managers send their work to Viz
ey ginia to be executed. It is unreasonable
~ ~ We are glad to see, however, that the Oxfor
i Female College is constantly increasing, an
~ that it closed its eighth session with s 0pupils
~ We have received several other Catalogue
y and notices of Female Institutions of learr
ing, but have not room for further notice
ue in this number. We arc glad to see tha
ng these citadels of learning are multiplyin
-. VI and strengthening in the land. There can
it's no better security for the perpetuity OF on
an civil and religious liberties, Than havin
ire educated, cultivated wives and mothers
s. rear and nurture the rising generation.
