| until now it has uninterruptedly
grown, year by year, to be the finest
| and most famous female institution
| of learning in all this Southern land.
During the scholastic year Just
| closed, the Salem Academy has ac-
| comodated over $50 boarding pupils,
who represented every Southern
| State, from Maryland to Texas, sew
eral Northern and Western States,
and more than one foreign country.
One of the graduating class this year
! is a native and resident of Geneva,
Switzerland. Besides these, there
were over 100 ebay scholars" the
| Salem and those young. ladies from
elsewhere who boarded with relatives
or friends here, while pursuing their
studies at the Academy.

while the Professor of Music, Prof.

The grounds are beyond doubt the
