Young ladies can be accommodated with boarding in the family of the Principal, or in respectable families, at teu dollars per mouth, every thing furnished except lights and tow els. Parents and guardians living at a distance, are requested to appoint an agent in La Fay ette, who shall make all purchases of clothing, Ac., for their daughters or wards. Prof. J. B. Norman is an experienced and successful teacher of music, and is prepared to give instruction in the art of Composition, and in thorough Bass, to advanced pupils. The Institution is supplied with a H arp, and with nfew 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 l’rof. Newman, of Union College, New York, is an ample guarantee for her ability and efficiency : Union College, Dec. 20,1855. Dear Sir:—ln reply Jo your inquiry, I 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 the whole, is the best qualified for it of any ltuly I over instructed. I speak thus confi dently, becftus'e 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 lias 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. 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 lias al most annihilated time and -pace, the mind retains only its original qualities and capabil ities. The Intellect, in it< onward progre.-s, is still dependent upon the principle- of asso ciation, the powers of judgement and memory. Real advancement in knowledge now. as it has ever been, Is slow janl. (2r i Ti + i ®P Sittlll &ttlt. VOL.

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, bogging, fashion or foolery in any shape whatever. Three Rules will be rigidly enforced: Ist, j early and punctual attendance; 2d, to learn j j very fast; •ird, to behave remarkably well. j The only required preparation for admission j will be good character, over nine years of age, j and exemption from all illegal and base asso- | elation, and no students refused because of i being graduates. An effort merely to please a people, being \ the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty j alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no j Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex- | pectcd, nor no beggars employed by this Col- j lege.
