OAR. ED1TOR-DEA1 SlR: J fceI that am
doing service to the public, by calling at
lention to the Young Ladies Seminary under
the care Of the Rev. s. G. Riheldatler, pastor
Of the Central Presbyterian Church Of this
city. This Seminary under all the circum.
stances has been decided success. It was
commenced in the midst Of our pecuniary
ADVERTISEMENTS, when few have been able
to pay the tuition of their children. 1t
opened in August, 1858. with but seven pu-
pills; since which time it has steadily in-
creased until its pupils now number thirty
two. Some Of the young ladies now in the
instit:tion have been there from the begin
ing, and their parents who look we'll to the
education If their children, are the firm
friends Of the school, and we'll pleased with
the rapid and thorough progress Of their
daughters; this is the highest recommends.

Mr.. Rihcldafler has borNe hi n self, for as We
the school has hardly reached a paying pat

that it might be better known to secure 70,
it the warm sympathy and patronage Of en'
|city and State. Why should not parents
send their daughters to be educated in ar
institution so near home, where they car
have an oversight over them, rather than
send them a thousand miles to schools, moi
ia whit better? Why should not the money
spent upon their education b. expended here
rather than sent abroad? We advise all
who have daughters to educate to visit the

and its external surroundings, and l predict
they will choose it as the school for their
daughters. Yours truly, J. G. 2.
