Academy Of Mount st. Joseph.
TWO years ago, when Bishop Mcfarland re.
moved from Providence to the city Of Hartford, It
was found that the accomm0d atiOns OF the Sisters
OF Mercy's Academy were too limited to supply the
demand that pupils were making upon the com.
muntfy, so well known for IT'S success in the cause
OF education. The Bishop, seeing the growing de-
sire on the part Of his people to educate their
daughters at or near home. resolved to erect an
institute in this episcopal city which would for
years be able to supply the wants OF the young
ladies of his diocese who seek first class educa-
tiOn, and who would be at the same time more i'm
mediately under the watcniul care Of their Bishop,
The guardian and dire ctor OF this institute. The
site purchased for the educational establishment
covers an area OF nearly four acres Of land: 1t Is
situated on the finest avenue In Hartford, and.
though standing almost In the centre or the city,
possesses on account OF Its extensive grounds and
sion OF country home. 1t is located on Lords
Hill where the wealthiest Of our citizens live and
surroundings, have made the locality the hand
soonest IN the State. Hartford Is the

enterprise and beauty has OF late been made by
the vote OF the people OF the State, taeir capital
city. 1t Is for all the Eastern States quite rail-
been linked to the great West by direct railroad
connections year ago plans were furnished Tor
the institution by one Of our best known archi-
tects, who says that Hartford can now boast not
only OF having the largest but the most solid ana
strictly architectural academy in New England.
1t Is complete IN all It's departments. The class
rooms, dOrmitorles and study halls are spacious
Is conducted to all parts OF the institution, and on
the ground are four springs OF purest drinking
water. The building ts heated throughout by
steam, and possesses all the modern Improvements
and Accommodations so necessary tor the pleasure,
cYmiort and health Of the papils It is the inten-
ing Catholic academy in New England, for as moth
ing has been spared 70 secure large and well
furnished establishment In like manner nothing
shall be wanting TO impart to the pupils that solid
and refined education which will 1T them for every
