ST. AGSEs.-By reference to an adj

seen that the Sisters in charge of this
most popular institution, in view of the
increasing population of the neighbor-
hoed, have determined upon reopeninR
the day school, undertaken by them some
years since and subsequently abandoned.
This, as we are informed, has been
agreed upon for the accommodation OF
parents residing in the vicinity of the
school, who, while not disposed to send
their children abroad to board, are de-
sirous of patronizing the academy. The
course Of studies for day pupils will be
the same as that prescribed for boarders,
and the advantages in every other re-
spec. viii be equal The next session Of
the school, and also that Of La 5alette-
branch of st. Agnes-will commence
on the first Monday Of next month, and
ir the meantime terms Of tuition and
other information can be obtained of the
Lady Superior, at the former institution.

hoped may be induced to attend.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.-Certain con.
temptble insinuations, designed to in.
jure my standing with the faculty and
the public, having come to my ear, take
this method of publicly denouncing their
author, DR.. ~ Robert G. Freeman, as a
slanderer and quack, who basely seeks
to conceal his own lack of professional
skill by traducing the character Of
another. A sense of justice could
scarcely be expected as forming any
part of the nature of one so utterly de-
void of the moral as well as the mental
qualifications indispensable to the char
acter of the true physician and gentle
man. Being comparatively stranger
in the community, has alone induced me
to notice an individual whom otherwise
should regard as beneath my notice.
