SEMINARY NOTES.-THE buildings for
our Female Seminary have been completed
and present a very handsome appearance.
The Lecture room is 2Ox36 feet, is detached
from the main building, admirably lighted
and ventilated, with ceiling 12 feet high
the walls wainscoted, the wood work
painted in cheerful coIors and fine green
sward and grove about it, makes the school
and lis surroundings cheerful and bright.
This is no slight consideration, for doubt
less many of US are able to recall the de-
pressing influence upon our Soungs minds,
Of some dreary, lily lighted and worse ven

subscription schools were he'd in rooms

friends and that the capacity of his build

Wire has met with decided favor away
from home, we shall hope to find our
people decided in their encouragement Of
the school. Our public schools are OF the
very highest order, the teachers all ranking

be nothing offered as against them to in
ducc parents to discontinue sending there,
but there are advantages of social culture
and refining Influences TO be attained in a
Seminary that from the nature of the pub.
lic school system may not be attained there.
As it is Mr. Wires intention to give his
day scholars the fullest advantage of the
drawing room culture Of which his board
crs will receive benefit, by having them at.
tend parlor exercises of an evening, our
people should not fail to see in this an op
por,unily, Of which they should be proud
to give their children, their daughters Is
pccally, the benefit. Let us all help to-
MAKE Mr. Wires Seminary an ornament,
crcdi, and profitable inst,usion to him and
to our town.
