September next the Sisters Of Charity
III charge of the st. Vincent's Insti-
tuition at this place will open board
ing school for the reception of pupils
from distance, and they certainly
deserve to meet with success in the
venture. The healthful and beautiful
situation Of the Institution, added to
the enviablc reputation of the accom-
plished Sisters as instructors of youth.
and the remaGkably reasonable terms
upon which they receive pupils, will
render the school second to none in
the South. In another column We
publish an announcement Of the in-
ception of the Boarding School, to-
gether with schedule of terms of
tuition, etc, aud to this We invite the
attention Of all our readers. Board,
