not emily beiusured pleasant home during their

those refiaing, moral and intellectual influences
which are required to perfect the character Of an
elegant and accomplished woman. We understand
fro the Professor himself that II will require an
expenditure Of something near ten thousand dollars

articles necessary 10 furnish the Academy have

In earnest; and wo hope such enterprise, prom pit

citizens, and that all will lend a helping hand 10
build up a first class Female Institution among
US. II we are not mistaken, 1t lie expected to get
the school under way by the first Of September
next, and We are very much deceived II II does not
commence under very favorable auspices as re-
cards numbers.

Is sceptical, AID has not seen Them visit our
grounds and II he does not say they as besu,l-

no Judge. The BUILDING stands upon beautiful
knoll, surrounded by forest of native trees in all
the untriInmed and unnamed majesty of their ma
tive beauty, and the ourliage, embracing some
FIVE or six aeres Is set In the richest and most lux
uriant blue grass, which in Spring Is dotted with
wild flowers, and opens up scene Of almst fairy
like and witching atractveness. II Is too late in
this enlightened day for 1t TO be necessary 10 show
the grenI Importance OF making the school the
most attractive place In the world TO the scholar
or to advert to tho improving and polishing effect
Of fine scenery upon the tastes and habits Of the
student. The GAINESVILLE Female Academy will
be all that 10 desirable In this respect and have
no doubt that some Of our daughters when they
grow old, and time shall sprinkle their temples with
the frosts OF It's winter, and tn lines of care
into their once smooth and fair young brows, will
reeur TO this spot, oasi in the midst Of LIES
dreary desert, and the scene of the most innocent
and happy period Of their existence.
We are glad to see such indications of future
success and prosperity about this school, and hope
that Il may more than meet the most sanguine
antcipatious Of It's m ,st ardent friends.
