Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
boon 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, New York, is an ample guarantee for
her ability and efficiency :
Union College, Dec. 29,1855.
Dear Sir : —ln reply to your inquiry, 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 teach, and on
the whole, is the best qualified for it of any
lady I over instructed. I speak thus confi
dently, because she was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon thegenoral principle that nothing tends
more to impair and destroy she intellect, than
superficial habits of study, no young lady, in
this Institution will bo permitted to take up
studios beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad
vance from • lower to a higher class until site
has 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
rm-taphysies.
Wo invite patronage, end we intend to de
serve it; but we do not promise to make schol
ars in a day. While modem eeience has al
most annihilate! *n! spwe*, the mind
retains only its original qualities and eapabil
itnw. The Intellect, tn its on*ard jitogress,
i- still dipmndont wpow the principles of asso
ciation, the powers i# judgement and mem<ry.
Real advancement in knowledge now. as it has
aver been, is slow jan4.

i t ° the ad vantages offered by Prof. McCormick,
■ for the education of both sexes.
By the McCormick System of Education,
file reasoning powers are more expanded ami
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, bogging, 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
Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.

closely criticised, whether of friend or of 100, and all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Crimea and from the ltnltie in ltlarkwond's Magazine,
from two of its most popular contributors, give a more
