The Subscriber takes this method of giving notice to Parents and Guardians, that he has again taken this Institution under his immediate instruction and control. Instead of the mere general Superintendence which he has exercised for some years past, he will henceforth take part in the instruction of the higher Classes, as well as give to every department of the School a constant personal Supervision. The same teachers, who have, in times past given such general satisfaction to the Public, will continue their faithful labors.
The first Principle of the School shall be, as it has always been, to give to the Pupils an understanding knowledge of what they are taught —to proportion their studies to their respective capacities—to establish a habit of close and correct thinking—to illustrate, as far as may be, each lesson by example and experiment, and to give to the whole system of instruction a practical, rather than a theoretical cast. No pains shall be spared to give to the Institution a character for conscientious, unsparing devotion to the best interests of its Pupils.
Lessons in Music and Fainting are given by a competent and approved Instructress. The FRENCH LANGUAGE will be taught by a native of France, a gentleman every way qualified.
The Subscriber will cheerfully take charge of such Pupils as may be committed to his personal care; and will place them in such families as will secure them attention to their comfort and moral culture. A few boarders will be received on early application, into his own family.

TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.
The Subscriber having lately given notice that he had again taken the
HILLSBORO, FEMALE SEMINARY
under his immediate instruction and control, deems it due to the public now to state, that since the date of that advertisement, he has determined to remove from Hillsboro,, and that his connection with this institution is consequently dissolved.
He trusts, however, that his separation from this School will not injuriously affect its interests. The Ladies in whose charge it remains, are well known and approved Instructresses. Their past diligence and success afford the surest pledge for the conscientious discharge of their future labors. No better evidence can be given of the correct and critical mode of instruction pursued in this institution than the well known fact that its pupils are eagerly sought after, and highly approved as Instructresses in other schools. It has been a leading principle with the teachers to give to their pupils an understanding knowledge of what they are taught—to proportion the studies to their respective capacities—to establish a habit of close and correct thinking—to illustrate, as far as possible, each lesson by example & experiment, and to give to the whole system of instruction a practical character.
At the request of the Teachers, the following statement of terms, &c. is here added:
