In his efforts to keep the roads in good
order, and Mr. Terrel, the conductor
on the Central cars, has been so long
connected with the road, and he
understands his business so well, that
. be ia always on time and never off the

Peculiar advantages are offered to young
ladies of energy and talent who wish to
bualify themselves fortedchers. A Diplo-
ma from this instituí km is' n passport to
any position as an educator of youth.

tion is pure and elevated; and wiiile tenets
exclusively sectarian arc conscieneionsiy

lical Christianity are exhibited and in-
culcated upon alf suitable occasions.
