The Institution is supplied with a Harp, anil with new Pianos. 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, New York, is an ample guarantee for her ability and efficiency : Union College, Dec. 20,1855. Dear Sir:—ln reply to your inquiry, I would say, Miss Hotchkiss, I know to be emi nently qualified for teaching. Her scolavsliip 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 l ever instructed. 1 speak thus confi dently, because she was a pupil of mine some four or five years. Truly yours, JOHN NEWMAN. Upon tliegenoralprinciple 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 has thoroughly mastered all that precedes.— The mind that has not comprehended common arithmetic and English Grammar, is but poor ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of metaphysics. Wo invite patronage, and we intend to de serve it; but we do not promise to make schol ars in a day. While modern science lias al most mnihilated time and space, the mind returns only its original qualities arid capabil • itie:\ The ‘ntellect, in its onward progress, .is Still dependent r.por* the principles of asso ■ datum, inn powers of judgement and memory.
