ZETELLE AND HIS New HoUsE.-Zetelle,
that famous and deservedly popular cate
rer of Richmond, gave to his friends yes
terday a reception-at his new house just
below us-that excelled anything Of the
kind we have participated in for many
a long day. By invitation, many OF our
best citizens assembled in one of his ele-
CANT upstairs apartments at about half
past Il o'clock, and in a short time after
wards folding door at the lower end was
thrown open, and table laden with every
thing nice, and arranged with that taste
and style characteristic of Zetelle, !" hove
in sight" Few words Of invitation were
necessary for the party to proceed to disar-
range the order of things on the table, and in
less time than we can tell it, they were well
in action. The gentlemen of the editorial
profession were treated with especial cour-
tesy, a separate room being allotted totheir
use. "Mine host "prefaced his invitation
to his reception with the remark that 1t
was to be Ga small affair TIA mere
lunch.n If that be what he would call a
mere lunch, we will be contented never to
dine again during the rest Of our lives. 1t
is in bad taste to say what one has had to
eat when invited out, so we will generalizc
the array of rich viands and sparkling
wines into " a sumptuous affair" and thank
The generous and hospitable host for his
liberal entertainment. Among the guests
present was delegation from" The Club, y
who expressed their opinion that the re-
ccrtion was "demnition fine thing and
they have the credit of knowing all about
these things.
The occasion of the reception was the
opening Of his new house, which Zetelle
has fitted up in a style exceeding anything
in the way OF restaurant We have yet
had in Richmond. On the first floor is
large dining room, in which gentlemen can
at any hour and in short time be served
with whatever they wish in the way OF
solids or liquids. Up stairs, on the second
floor, is ladies' saloon, something which
Richmond has long needed,) furnished in
elegant style. On this floor there is also a
large room for private parties. On the
third floor are also rooms Tor private par
ties. The whole establishment is fitted Up
tastefully and comfortably, and we fee
that Zetelle and his new salon have be-
come fixtures of Richmond.

APPRENTICES FROM THE BUREAU.-We

this manner of procuring help" brief
statement of its conditions

ent, &C., doth bind out --, (male

or trade of -, EARNING, or whatever else
it may be,) to dwell with and serve the

son has fully opened. 1t is good way for
the farmers to secure permanent hands.

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE.-Mr. J. C..

every exertion to ascertain where he is,

Any one knowing Of his whereabouts will
confer great favor by calling at the re-
sidence of his family, on Mechanicsvile

street near Franklin.

Orr DEAD At HoLLYwooD.-We are in
receipt of note from an officer Of the
Hollywood Memorial Association which
informs us that we are in error as to our
statement made in Mondays issue to the
effect that the bodies of the Confederate
dead were in an exposed condition. We
cheerfully give room for a correction, in
the words of our correspondent: "On Sa-
turday the graves were visited by persons
connected with the Hollywood Memorial
Association, and no such condition was
observed"
1t was far from our intention, as well as
Of our correspondents, to reflect upon the
ladies of the Association in the article re-
ferred to. We could not reasonably cen
sure those who might be hired and paid
for their work for whatever damage might
have been done by the elements in the late
extraordinary spell, and Heaven forbid
that we should ever find fault with the
good ladies who, true TO their natures as
women of Virginia, are laboring SO earnest
ly to honor those who fell upon her soil in
her defence.

RICHMOND CoLLEGE.-This institution is
beautifully situated in the western part of
the city, as recently extended. 1t has
large and commodious buildings, with six
teen acres of land attached. During the
war the greater part Of its endowment
fund was lost, but vigorous and success
ful effort for its reGndowment is now being
made by that prince Of agents, Rev. DR..
Poindexter. He has already, we believe,
secured more than sixty thousand dollars.
1t is proposed at an early day to improve
and beautify the grounds, enlarge the
buildings, and make provision for the most
extended and thorough system of educa-
tion which the times and the demands Of
society may require.
After a suspension Of its exercises for
several years, the college was re0pcned on
the lst of October last.
1t has been thoroughly re0rganized upon
the plan Of the best European universi-
ties, with full corps Of instructors in all
it's departments, with the exception of
one-that Of English and History-the
professor elect to which is now prosecuting
his studies in Germany.
The great cmbarrassments Of the times,
together with the presence of the dread
epidemic thatto some extent prevailed in
Richmond during the last summer and
autumn, had the effect Of considerably
lessening the number Of students that
otherwise probably would have entered.
Notwithstanding these disadvantages,
about 100 have been enrolled. We think
that the friends of the college have reason
to be much gratified, in view of its present
condition and future prospects and we
trust that it will yet be the pride Of our
city, and, indeed, Of this section of our

session is sixty-six. Nothing is leftuntried
to advance the moral as well as the intel
lectual improvement of the pupils. This
seminary well deserves the entire conf
dence and support of the citizens on
Church and Union Hills, and we deem 1t
creditable to the good intelligence of that

SOUTHERN FEMALE INsTTUTE.-This in
stitution, re0pened on the lst Of October,
1866, in the large new buildings erected
especially for his school by III. K. Lefebvre
on Grace street above First, has been in
successful operation in this city for the
past sixteen years.
Located in one Of the most beautiful
and quiet quarters of the city, and having
been since the close of the war thoroughly
repaired, repainted, and refittcd, with ac-
commodations for fifty boarders and for
two hundred and fifty pupils, with detached
mushrooms, bathrooms, and all other
recent improvements, the Southern fe-
male Institute is one Of the most complete
and comfortable school buildings in the
South.
Its course of studies is of the most ad-
vanced grade, embracing the elementary
branches of English, natural philosophy,
mental and moral philosophy, chemistry,
geology, mathematics, history, English
literature, rhetoric, advanced English
grammar, Latin, French, German, vocal
and instrumental music. In the modern
languages and in music especial advantages
are offered.
This institution has been built up by in
dividual enterprise, and has beenrewarded
by an average of l30 pupils and 80 board
ers since its removal from Fredericksburg
to Richmond in 1868.
We are glad to see from the catalogue
that despite the scarcity of money the
number of matriculatcs for this year has
reached 100, giving employment to seven
teachers.
The principal, d. Lee Powell, A. NJ,
has been known for the past nineteen years
as a teacher in this his native State.
We quote the following eminently Just
remarks from his catalogue for 1866:
"The city of Richmond offers very su-
perior advantages for the education Of
southern girls. The standard of educa-
ton is as high as in any city on the CONT
nent. The many excellent female schools
established here have attracted the
most accomplished professors Of the mo-
dern languages and of music; the re-
finement and famed elegance Of its females
secures pure and profitable association /;
the health of the city is proverbial !;
while the expense of educating q young
lady here is not onc-half as great as in
northern cities.
"Situated, also, as it is, upon the great
central route from south to north, near to
the University of Virginia, parents can
send their daughters to the schools here
either by merchants or other friends going
north, or by their sons going to the Univer-
sity. Money, clothing, &C., may be sent
with like economy"

CHURCH HILL FEMALE SEMINARY, CORNER
TwENTY-THIRD AND GRACE sTREETs.-This

realized may be evinced by the present

THE HEBREW AND ENGLIsu INSTITUTE,
conducted by the Rev. George Jacobs, of
the Mayo-street Hebrew congregation, is
situated at the southeast corner of Mayo
and Ross streets. This Institute, although
in its infancy, is progressing fairly, and the
number of pupils constantly increasing.
The system of education is that of the
English Grammar school, and the great aim
is to give the pupils thorough training
in the several branches taught, and which
. so often lost sight of. Hebrew is taught
according to its various modes Of pronun-
citation, with grammar and translation, so
that all may become familiar with the Holy
Tongue.
