Among other testimonials the following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union College, New \ ork, is an ample guarantee for her ability and efficiency : Union College, Dec. 2P, 1855. Dk Ait Sat: —ln reply to your inquiry, I would say, Miss Hotchkiss. I know to he 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. 1 speak thus confi dently, because she was a pupil of mine some four or five years. Truly yours, JOHN NEWMAN. Upon thegencralprinciple that nothing tends more to impair and destroy the intellect, than superficial habits of study, no young lady, in this Institution will bo permitted to take up studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad vance from a lower to a higher class until she h is 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 wc intend to tlo scrv ■ 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 ititss. Ihe Intellect, in its onward progress, . still dependent upon the principles of asso ciation, the powers of judgement and memory, ipie.ul advancement in knowledge now, asdt has ever been, is slow. j an 4. cajc Jtoljr Jmul VOL.

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, fluty 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.
