FREDERICK FEMALE SEMINARY,
FREDERICK CITY MD

SCHOLARS will be received at any time
- during the year and will be charged from the
date of their entrance to the end of the scholastic
YEAR The LIST Of January would be most appro-
pirate time for them TO commence.
This Institution has steadily and permanently in.
creased in numbers for the last eleven years. until
the present capacious edfce which is 80 feet 'front.'
90 feet Deep and four stories high, became entirely
inadequate TO the growing wants OF the school.
In August last, the Trustees commenced another
building of the size and external appearance on
the wesi side Of the present edhoe. This building
is now under roof and will be ready for occupancy
early in the spring.
This addition will give us the largest and most
beautiful exhibition room in the city, six large pro-
essor srooms eighteen additional high, airy lodging
rooms and the whole Of the high basement will be
fitted np for gymnasium for the young ladies TO
exercise in during nclement weather. These i'm.
proyemeuts make IL one of the most extensive and
complete establishments in the United States.
This Institution has able and efficient Board of
Professors and Teachers, good Library, excellent
Musical Instruments, an extensive Chemical and
Philosophical Apparatus, and IT Is confidently be-
eved that it offers as many facilities forimpartng a
thorough, extensive and refined education as any
Seminary in the land.
The school Is not sectarian on the contrary, the
young ladies' are strictly required to attend such
Church as parents designate, accompanied always by
a Teacher. s ~

HOOPS and Concerts.

At a fashionable concert lately given

in the hall instead of chairs. When

commenced to pour in briskly, and in
a short time the ushers announced to
the manager that the house was full
''Impossible,' said the manager, who
was acting as ticket seller at the time:
''It's fact, sir" replied the usher,
'sand you'd better stop the sale of tick
cts, for no one can get in. There are no
more seats left. F.. -r-.
''I'll go and see, and suiting the ac-
ton to the word, the manager slipped
from the ticket Office to the door of the
hall, looked in, and beheld sight that
filled him with dismay, the immense
benches extended across the hall only
served to seat each about six ladies'
aud their hoops! The hallwas complete
ly 'jammed, but with an audience
whose number was anything but large,
Determining to make up for lossess, on
the next night he inserted the following
line conspicuously in his poster =
Ladies' wearing hoops, will be charged
double price for seats.
Strange to say, the demand was readi-
ly complied with, the hall being we'll
filed by persons who yielded to the nov
city of the thing themselves in order to
enjoy the fun of seeing how it would
operate on others.

soon fell asleep.
