Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
been connected with the Institution, comes to
us highly recommended, as a teacher of rare
qualifications. Among other testimonials the
following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union
College, Now Y r ork, is an ample guarantee for
her ability and efficiency :
Union College, Dec. 29, 1855. j
Dear Sir :— ln reply to your inquiry, I
i Would say, Miss Hotchkiss, 1 know to be emi
nently qualified for teaching. Her scolarship
is general and very thorough. She is enter
prising and ambitious—loves, to tench, and on
tile whole, is the best qualified for it of any j
lady I ever instructed. I speak thus confi
dently, because she was a pupil of mine som
tour or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon thogeneralprinciple that nothing tends
more to impair and destroy the intellect, tLm
superficial habits of study, no young lady in
this Institution will he permitted to tain up
studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad
vance from a lower to a higher class unti. she
has thoroughly mastered all that precedes- — ,
The mind that has not comprehended coiimon
arithmetic and English Grammar, is bu< poor
ly qualified to grapple with the intricate* of
the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of
metaphysics.
We invite patronage, and we into id to de
serve it; but we do not promise to mike schol
ars iu a day. While modern’ scieud! lias al
most annihilated time and space, the mind
retains only its original qualities ami oapabil

xivito the attention of Parents and Guardians
t o the advantages offered by Prof. McCormick,
for the education of both sexes.
By the McCormick System of Education,
the reasoning powers are more expanded and
better cultivated in five months than by the old
system in five years.
Legitimate Education is the object of this
College ; without the aid of Theology, Music,
duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any
shape whatever.
Three Rules will be rigidly enforced: Ist,
early and punctual attendance ; 2d, to learn
very fast; Brd, to behave remarkably well.
The only required preparation for admission
will be good character, over nine years of age,
and. exemption from all illegal and base asso
ciation, and no students refused because of
being graduates.
An effort merely to please a people, being
the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty
alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no
Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.

Great reduction in tho pricoof tho latter publication.
I “ 1
L. Scott & Cos., New York, continue to publish the fol
lowing leading British Periodicals, viz:
i THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative).
1 THE EDJ.NGBURGH REVIEW (Whig).
I THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church).
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal).
BLACKWOODS EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
r IMIB great and important events—Religious, Political,
J. and Military—now agitating the nations of tho Ola
M urld, give to these Publications all interest aDd value
they never before possessed. They occupy a middle
! ground byiwecu the hastily written news items, crude
j speculations, aud 11 ylug. rumors of (he newspaper, and
; tiie ponderous Tome of tiio historian, written long after
the living interest iu thcr facts he records shall have
passed away. The progress of the War In the East occu
| pies a large space in their pages. Every movement is
; closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all
short comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Crimea and from the Baltic iu Blackwood’s Magazine,
from two of ils most popular contributors, give a more
intelligible nud reliable account of the movements of the
great belligerents that can elsewhere ho found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi
cal parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical, —
lint politics forms only ouo feature of their character.—
As Organs of tiie most profound w riters on Science, Lite
rature, Morality, and Religion, they stand, its they over
have stood, unrivalled in tho world of lotters, being con
sidered indispeusablo lothe scholar und tiie professional
