In the Laboratory is an extensive Philosophical and Chemical apparatus. A spacious Gymnasium, properly furnished, is connected with the other buildings. The instruction, in every department, is systematic and thorough. The Principal is assisted by Mrs. Wright, as Matron, and by accomplished and experienced Teachers. The Rector gives familiar lectures on moral and religious subjects; also, the duties and habits of daily life for the development of a strong and vigorous physical system. During the year Lectures are given by others on literary and scientific subjects. The Bible is the basis of all moral and religious culture, and by it pupils are taught to form those principles which are essential to the accomplished woman. Languages.-An accomplished English education, as it is of the first importance, is here given the preference; but, when pupils are sufficiently advanced, they are urged to enrich their minds with the treasures of the Latin tongue; also, the German and French. The latter is in charge of a French gentleman of rare accomplishments and many years' experience, who not only devotes the most of his time to the pupils in the class-room, but meets them New York. daily at table and in social intercourse. German is also taught by a gentleman thoroughly qualified for the place. Music. In this Department, both instrumental and vocal, -as in every other, there is nothing superficial, the aim being to impart a thorough knowledge of the science. A study of the old masters, as well as the most classical composers of modern times, is continually inculcated upon the more advanced pupils for the development of a scholarly taste. Course of study. The course of study is arranged in two Departments: Academic and Collegiate; the former preparatory for the latter, which is designed for four years, including Modern and Ancient History, Rhetoric, the Higher Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Mental and Moral Philosophy, Logic, English Literature, Kames' Elements of Criticism, Butler's Analogy, the Fine Arts, and the Literature of the French, German, and Latin Languages.

Government is parental. The manners and habits of pupils are vigilantly supervised by all who have charge of either Academic or Domestic Departments. A conscientious regard for right is cherished in the minds of the pupils; each one reporting daily her observance of the rules. Unnecessary Expenses.-A large part of the expenses of many young ladies at school is entirely unnecessary, and what is worse, decidedly detrimental both to themselves and their mates, and a source of great trouble to their teachers. As to dress, we would have our pupils "adorn themselves with modest apparel," not with "gold or pearls, or costly array." ." Let the whole school outfit be characterized by simplicity, freedom, comfort, and perfect neatness. Good taste requires this; health and the interests of the institution require it.
