equal tooting witn the f eniae Academies

I have engaged Miss Mary liagsdale to

hris had the charge of this school the last
session of the present year, and by her un
wearied attention, together with the rapid
advance of her pupils in their various stu
dies have given entire satisfaction to her
employers. I deem it unnecessary (o say
more aooui ner quaniicainns, lor she is so
well known ninon-; an extensive nrnn.iiiit

particularly requested thai the students

doing justice to herself and her pupils; for
it is designed (hat an Examination shall be
