Miss Hotchkiss, who lias 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 nbility and efficiency :
Union College, Dec. 2‘J, 1855.
Dear Sir :—ln reply to your inquiry, I
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 she was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours, *
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon thogenoralprinciplc 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 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.
We invite patronage, and we intend to de
serve 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 upon the principles of asso
ciation the powers of judgement and memory,
heal advancement in knowledge now, as it has
everjieen, is slow. jan4.

fO 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 live months than by the old
system in live years.
Legitimate Education is the object of this
College ; without the aid of Theology, Music,
duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any
i 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.
-In effort merely to please a people, being
the tirst 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.

BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
r IMII. great and important events —Religious Political,
X and Military—now agitating the nations of tiie Old
I world, give to these Publications an interest and value
tbey never bolero possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news items, crude
speculations, and flying rumors of tlio newspaper, and
the ponderous Tome of tho historian, written long afn i
the living interest in the facts lie records shall have
passed away. The progress of the War iu the East ocou
pios a large space iti their pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of friend or of 100, and all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. Tho letters from
the Crimea and from the Baltic in Blackwood’s Magazine,
from two of its most popular contributors, give a more
intelligible and reliable account of the movements of the
great belligerents that can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi
cal parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,-
•'•it polities forms only one feature of their character)
As Organs of tiie most profound writers on Fcieuce, Lite
rature, Morality, and Religion, they stand, us they over
