Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
been connected with the Institution, conies to
us highly recommended, as a teacher of rare
qualifications. Among other testimonials the
following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union
Collego, New York, is an ample guarantee for
her ability and efficiency :
Union College, Dec. 29, 1855.
Dear Sir : —ln reply to your inquiry, 1
would say, Miss Hotchkiss, I know to be emi
nently qualified for teaching. Her scolarship
is general and very thorough. She is enter
prising and ambitious—loves to teach, and on
the whole, is the best qualified for it of any
lady i ever instructed. I speak thus confi
dently, because sbe was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon thegenernlprinciple that nothing tends
more to impair and destroy the intellect, than
superficial habits of study, no young lady, in
this Institution will be permitted to take up
studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad
vance from a lower to a higher class until she
ha- thoroughly mastered all that precedes—
The mind that has not comprehended common
arithmetic and English Grammar, is hut poor
ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of
the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of
metaphysics.
We invite patronage, and we,intend to do-
Berve it: but we do not promise to make schol
ars in a day. While modern science has al
most annihilated time and space, the mind
retains only its original qualities and capabil
ities. The Intellect, in its onward progress,
is still dependent upon the principles of asso
ciation, the powers of judgement and memory.
Real advancement in knowledge now, as it. has
ever been, is slow. jan4.

IPHE Building lor this Institution is now

uvite 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; 3rd, 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
Y'ankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.

Great reduction in the price of the latter publication.
L. Scott A Cos., New York, continue to publish the fol
lowing leading British Periodicals, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative).
THE ED I Nil BURGH REVIEW (Whig).
THE NOKTII BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church).
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal).
BLACKWOODS EDINBURGH MAUAZINE (Tory).
r |MIK gnat and important even to—Religious, Political,
JL nd Military—now agitating the nations of the Old
World, give to these Publications an interest and value
they never before possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news items, crude
speculations, and tlving rumors of the newspaper, and
tiie ponderous Tome of the historian, written long after
the living interest in the facts he records shall have
passed away. The progress of the War iu the East occu
pies a large space in ilteir pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of triend or of foe, and all
shortcomings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Crimea and from <lie Baltic in Blackwood’s Magazine,
from two of its most, popular contributors, give a more
intelligible and reliable account of the movements of tin*
great belligerents that can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi
cal parties of Great Britain—VN big, Tory, and Radical,
hut politics forms only ono feature of their character.—
As Organs of tin* most profound writers on Science, Lite*
ruture. Morality, and Religion, they stand, as they ever
have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being con
sidered indispensable to the scholar and the professional
man, while to tin* intelligent render of every class they
furnish a more correct and satisfactory record of the cur
rent literature of the day, tliroughout the world, than
can be possibly obtained from any other sour so.
