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.

Opelika, Russell County, Alabama.
flAllE Building for this Institution is now
J completed, and the Board of Directors
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 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.
