The village, with a population OIL 800, located in a
high and rolling country, is distinguished alike for
the cultivated taste, the moral and literary character
of its inhabitants, and the pureness and ~salubrity of
its climate.
Some things which commend the Institute to those
wishing to educate, are its superior corps of expe-
rlenced eachers-attendanc free of charge, on all
the lectures and experiments in Natural Philosophy,
Botany and chemistry in Miami University the use
of the extensive Mineral and Geological Cabinet and
Library of the University, and the opportunity Of
almost weekly lectures connected with scientific sub
jects and other educational matters, as well as of
Witnessing the examinations and public performan-
ces oftho various literary institutions of the place.
We have an arrangement by which we enjoy the as
sistance of the Professors of the University SO far as
we need them. Our course of study, including the
English, Academical and Classical Departments. is
as extensive as any similar institution in the West.
Those who desire it re9d all the Latin and Greek
classics usually read in Colleges for yoImg men,
To those wishing q boznn5H course in Mdthe1otfcs,
Ee-eger superior advantages. With Prof. MeFAR-
LAND, of Miami University, our Classical Gradu-
ates, in addition to the ordinary course, study Spher-
icalTrignometry, Navigation, Surveying, Application
of Mathematics to Astronomy. Differential and In
tegral Calculus-thus affording q rare opportunity
for those young ladies who wish to thoroughly quail
ify themselves for a high position as future Teach

course in Mathematics being optional, pupils can
without these, graduate in the English Department

in common schools, comprises Book keeping, Do
nestle Economy, Physiology, Moral and intellectu-
al Philosophy, Political Economy, Botany, Rhetoric,
