first Scholastic year of the Institution has come to a
close, quite ns prosperously as could hare been rea-
onably anticipated.
The Examination of the students has been such
to convince all who attended, that the time dc-
oted to lahur, so far from impeding their progress
literary knowledge, rather accelerates it: and the
lioalth, the apparent cheerfulness, and vivacity of the
outh belonging to the Institution, bear ample tes.

could have been reasonably expected from the nature
of the soil, and the dryness of tho season during the
Summer monllis. It is thought that a sufficiency of

ations arc making to accommodate not less than
lirty.two students, exclusive of Beneficiaries of the

A CARD.
In directing the attention of their readers to the
improvements and exertions which have been increas
ingly made, to elevate the Lady’s Book to that station
which it now occupies, the Proprietors have incurred
a very considerable expense, which deserves, on the
subscriber’s part, a suitable punctuality in meeting
their engagements. To them, individually, the
amount of the subscription is a trifle, but to tho pro
prietors, it is, collectively, of the utmost importance
and it is confidently expected that the early trans-
mission of arrears, will prove to them tliat their in
tentions and exertions have not been disregarded or
forgotten, by those for whom they have been made.
After the first of January it is the intention of the
proprietors to send circulars to all who are in arrears
one year. Subscribers wishing to avoid the-expenso
of postage, will please make payment before that time.
