The Institution is supplied with a Harp, and

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 Coi.lkok, Dec. 2‘J, 1855.
Dear Sir :—ln reply to your inquiry, I
would say, Miss Hotchkiss, I know to lie emi
nently qualified for teaching. Her scolnrship
is general and very thorough. She is enter
prising and ambitious—doves to teach, and on
the whole, is the best qualified for it of any
lady l 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
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 lias 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 we intend to de
serve it; but we do not promise to make schol
ars iu 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. jan4.

invite the attention of Parents and Guardians
to the advantages offered by Prof. McCormick,
for the education of both sexes.
By the McCormick System of Education,
the reasoning powers are more expanded anil
better cultivated in live 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 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, 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.

World, give to those Publications an interest and value
they never holme possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news items, crude
speculations, and Hying rumors of the newspaper, and
th ponderous Tome of tin* historinn, written long after
tin* living iutcivst in tho facts he records shall have
passed away. Tin* progress of the Wav in tho East occu
pies a largo space iu tlioir pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Crimea and from tin* Baltic in Blackwood's Magazine
from two of its most popular contributors, give a inoro
intelligible and reliable account of the movements of the
great belligerent* that can elsewhere he found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi

have stood, unri\ailed in tho world of letters, being con
sidered indispensable to the scholar and the professional
