^ French and English seminary for Voting I.aJ'us, corner
mm of E and 9lh sti tels, H ashing/on city.
rpHE location of this seminary is one of the most
X desirable in the city, on account of its healthy
and airy position. The house is large and commodious,
with ample grounds and other facilities lor
amusement and recreation. The principal, so well
and favorably known in this city, and in New
York, from her long experience in teaching, hopes
to give entire satisfaction to all who may confide
their daughters to her care. She is a native of
France, and familiar with its language and literature,
and conversant with the best and easiest modes
of imparting to her pupils a perfect knowledge of
that language, so thnt they can not only read und
write, but speak it fluently. She has secured able
asri8tants for vurious departments, so that all
branches of an English as well as French education
will be thoroughly taught. Pupils who reside in
the family have the peculiar advantages of hearing,
und conversing at all times in the French language,
and of perfecting themselves in the science of music,
being under the surveillance of an experienced
teacher. The course of instruction, besides the
usual elementary branches, includes all the higher
studies pursued in the most approved northern seminaries.
The discipline is niilu and atfectionate, yet
decided, and is maintained by appeals to the affections
and conscience of the pupil; it is designed, by a
proper development and cultivation of the better
qualities of the heart, to bind more affectionately the
pupil to her teacher, and by it to secure obedience.
As sound physical, moral, and intellectual improvement
and culture, are the great objects desired, it is
the aim of the principal not so much to crowd the
memory with words, as to draw forth and train the
systematic and vigorous action, the observing, reflecting,
and active powers of the mind. The
charges to those who reside in the family are, for
hoard and tuition in all the branches of French and
English, fQOO per annum for a single pupil; but
when two or more are entered at the same time, a
liberal deduction will be made. The additional
charges per quarter are for music, piano, and guitar,
A15: use of instrument, til 50; vocal music, ft5. To
day scholars, the charges for tuition in tfie first
department in French or English, are fit);
together, $15; in the second department first
class French or English, $8; together, $13; in
the second class French or English $7; together
$10, n the third department, first class, French
or English $C; together $9; in the second
class, French or English $5; together $8; Latin $4,
Other languages, drawing, painting, and duncing;
at professor's charges. Pupils can 1* entered at any
time, and will be charged only from the date of their
entiance. No deduction will be mude to those who
absent themselves after commencing a quarter, unless
prevented from attending by sickness. Bills in
all cases to be paid in advance. Every attention is
paid to the religious as well as moral and tntellcctual
instructions of the pupils, but no sectarian peculiarities
are ever inculcated. Those residing in the family
will attend such churches as their parents may
sel set, under the care of a teacher. They will attend
the Episcopal church with the Principal, when
no other directions are given. Any other information,
and the most satisfactory references will be
given on application to the principal.

many new ones as may be pleased to try his skill in
the art of dying silk, woollen, and cotton goods, and
cloth dressing. The preference which has been
given him by a large portion of the citizens of
Washington, in carrying their work to Georgetown,
has induced him, for the convenienceofthe public, and
with a view to enlarge his business, and by an exhibition
of superior work to extend his reputation, to
take a stand in the metropolis, where he is prepared
to receive and execute all manner of ladies'ana gentlemen's
apparel in a superior stile. Shawls of
every material and texture cleansed, bleached, or

himself to the public, ns he has lang been known
and extensively patronized from every part of the
