YOUNG LADIES.
Miss S. A. STUART, would inform
the citizens of the town of

and it's vicinity, that she proposes open
ing School for Young Ladies, under
the particular patronage of the
lIASONIC FRI I,ERNITY
in the lower room of the new Masonic
Lodge, on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, 1856.
Having taught for ten years in Vir-
ginia, as well as being engaged as Pre-
ceptress of the Senior Literary De
partment of the Memphis Female
College, during a scholastic session =
her past experience enables her to
promise confidently to give every sat
isfaction to the parents or Guardians,
who may intrust pupils to her charge
Her aim has ever been to give
thorougAly practical educatlon-not
however, at the expense of such ac-
complishments, as are usually taught
in Young Ladies Seminaries,- but
rather combining with them; and to
instruct her scholars so that IN time,
they NAV themselves become teachers.
The school discipline has hitherto been
we'll preserved throughout, by rules,
suited to the government of the lnsti-
tuition; uniting with such discipline,
as PARENTS exercise in we'll ordered
home circles.
The cousse and mode of Instruction,
will be made known by application to
Miss Stuart: and every other informa-
ton relative to the school, will at all
times be readily given.
Board may be obtained in the village
at the usual rates Pupils, charged
from their entrance, until the close of
the session; and no deduction, save in
cases of protracted sickness.
