The Institution is supplied with a llarp, and
with new Pianos.
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 ability and efficiency :
Union College, Dec. 2D, 1855.
Dear Sir:—ln reply to your inquiry, I j
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
tlio 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 thegeucralprinciple 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
hap thoroughly mastered all that precedes.—
The mind that lias not Comprehended common
arithmetic and English Grammar, is but poor
ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of
the hi glier mathematics, or the subtleties of
metaphysics.
We invite patronage, and we intend to de
serve it j but we do qot promise to make schol
ars iii 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 dependent upon the principles of asso
ciation, the powers of judgement and memory.
Real advancement in knowledge now, as it has
ever been, is slow. janl.

I riMIE Building for this Institution is now

I invito the attention of Parents and Guardians
! to the advantages offered by Prof. McCormick,
| for the education of both sexos.
By the McCormick System of Education,
the reasoning powers arc 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 : 3rd, to behave remarkably well.
The only required preparation for admission
will be good character, over nine years of age,
and exemption from ail 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 und fraud, duty
alone will bo the Polar Star taught; and no
Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.

f I‘ll E great and important event*—lteUftOUH, Political,
\e , a . IK * .^Wbiry—now agitating the nations of tho Old
Morld, give to these Publications an interest and value
they never but ore possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news items, crude
speeulations, and Hying rumors of the newspaper, and
the ponderous Tome ot the historian, written long after
tho living interest iu tho facts he records shall have
passed away. The progress of the War in the East occu
pies a large space in their pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all
shortcomings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
t in* Crimea and from the Baltic iu Blackwood's Magazine
front two of its most popular contributors, give a more
intelligible and reliable account of the movements of the
great belligerents that can elsewhere he found.
These Periodicals ably represent the throe great politi
cal parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,—
but politics forms only one feature of their character.
As Organs of the most profound writers on Science, Lite
rature, Morality, and Religion, they stand, as they ever
