Williamsboro', Nov. 27.
We attended the Examination of the Young Ladies belonging to the Williamsborough Female Seminary, which took place on the 20th ultimo, according to notice—and with pleasure and gratification witnessed the successful mode of training the youthful mind in this Institution. The different classes were rigidly examined, in the presence of a large collection of ladies and gentlemen. They were prompt and explicit in their answers, and evinced a thorough knowledge of their studies. The discipline enforced by Mrs. Smith is strict, but at the same time of the most maternal character, and we can truly say that she has spared neither pains nor expense to secure for her pupils every advantage likely to facilitate the acquirement of a solid, useful and liberal Education. Regarding the locality of this Institution, it is surpassed by none, and equalled by few, in point of health And good society.
