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. 2‘J, 1855. Duar Sin:—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 the general principle that nothing tends more to impair and destroy the intellect, than superficial habits of study, no young lady, in tips 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.— Tim mind that lias 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 dc sefvi- it; but we do not promise to make schol ars in a day.

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; Brd, 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 yrailuuUs. 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.

Orthography, sls 00 Arithmetic, English Grammar, &c 25 00 Mathematics, &c., with use of Inst'in’ ts. 37 50 Double these rates will be charged for every day that a student may be unnecessarily ab sent.
