FINALS SEnfSARY.-We are pleased q
know that the enterprise Of establishing q
hrst-cla female seminary has been taken
hold OF in such good earnest, and by men 40
capable Of pushing it to successful result.
Such An institution IL sadly needed here, as
oar people have long and deeply realized.
An organization has been effected, and
books Of subscription have been opened. 1,
is to be stock company, organized under
the provisions OF the code, and the school to
be established will be Of the highest grade.
It will be free from all sectarian influence.
such an one as al can pat.onize, and one
which will yield every advantage that is usu-
ally sought.
But il needs that encouragement and pc.
cuniary assistance should be extended to-
wards it, freely and readily, to insure i. tina,
early and complete success that its friends
desire. A good beginning has been made,
and We trust everybody interested will aid il
cheerfally and literally.
