WHEELING, January 5, 1866.
The very remarkable and highly cultivated
talent which presided over the Musical Department
of the Sisters in Wheeling, unrivalled, probably,
in any institution for female education in the coun-
try, led me, as duty TO the public, to encourage
the erection of buildings of such extent, and so
located. to present to parents every possible in
ducement to avail themselves OF the benefits OF the
ings at Mount de Chantal, and will, in April, be
prepared for the accommodation of two hundred
pupils. The same sense of duty which led to the
improv now suggests the strong and decided
recommendation which hereby address TO the
will be extensively circulated by the friends of
education and the lovers of music especially in the
West and South. have alluded only to the musi-
cal department as beyond competition. In other
respects, regard the school as inferior to none
