The following expressions of opinion will
show in what estimation the school Is held by
its patrons and others who have had an oppor-
tunitv of becoming acquainted with its merits:
take pleasure in recommending to general
patronage the Stephenson Female Seminary
was myself pupil of its Principal, the Rev.
c. n. Campbell, some years ago at the Charles
town Academy, and know him TO be good
scholar, faithful and conscientious teacher.
The success of this Seminary has been marked
from its establishment, and with its fine new
building and other equipments it should have
q vigorous and prosperous career believe 1t
merits the patronage of our own and other
communities. w. Il. WILSON.
Being patron of the Stephenson Female
Seminary. bear testimony that it is in all re-
spects an excellent school for young ladies. Its
course is taught with thoroughness that COM
mands my admiration, and it sat the same
time so taught as to become attractive to the
scholars. It's accomplished Principal and
Teachers have solved the problem of making
hard study pleasure to the student.
It's discipline is all that any Christian or pru-
dent parent can desire. Exact and firm, it is
gentle affectionate and home-like so that girls
who board soon learn to regard themselves as
members of the Christian family. No pains
are spared to preserve health. and to make the
young ladies comfortable and happy. No
school can offer greater advantages for moral
and religious culture
Rev. C. n. Campbell has abundantly shown
his peculiar adaptation to teaching and train
ing young ladies, and he has shown this in en-
inent degree in his selection of teachers to as
sist him. A. c.. HOPKINS,
Pastor Of Presbyterian Church.
Ny daughter has been a student of the Ste
phenson Female Seminary, Charlestown, JEFF
ferson county, w. Va, and from the opportu-
nity thus afforded / can form a correct iudg
ment of the ability of the corps of teachers of
this Seminary. 1t gives me pleasure to testify
to the satisfactory manner in which the pupils
of the school are taught. Their education is,
in my Judgment, much more substantial and
thorough than that to be acquired at female
seminaries generally. The Seminary is loca-
ted in healthy country, inhabited by 8 NOR
al. educated and refined people.

better next time and as for rs we ap-
prove Judge Hautot for we believe he
is on the right road to make his court
respected. While we are on the sub

refresh the memory of our police jury

is "non eat" and to Judge by the past,
