I adjourn as usual from the 1st of August to the !
| ▼ » 1st of October. In giving this annual notice at pte
i cent,must, even at the risk of appearing ton obtrusive,
j ">“s: earnestly urge one request of mutual and deep inter
est to a il concerned. It is, tlia t all v. ho a re to continue ite t
Pupils, may return as soon us possible, after vacation. ]i
they have formed any habits of application, they will i: it
then be lost, simply hy the usual discontinuance incident
to a long Holiday, Neither will the preliminary work—
; so essentia! to all mental improvement, of imparting diii
! genre, a task equally arduous to teachers, and irksome to
; scholars, require to be repeated; nor will there be any
j needless loss of that very brief period, usually allotted for
educating girls, who arc ton often tal-.cn from school at the
1 very time they arc deriving most benefit from it.
Mrs. GAs terms are the same as before, viz:—'210 for
board, tuition and lodging, for 10 mouth,—if she furnishes
j I*titl and bedding; but £10 less, when the pupils supply
; themselves. Board for tlie tnnnih’s vacation is £25.—
(Scholars will be received at any m .-.son, at:d will pay only
from the time of entrance; but no deductions will '>u made
f ir borne-visits, or removals, before tiro ru l of the session,
i 'Hie above sum of £210, always payable half-yearly in
' advance, pays for diet, lodging, washing, fire, candles, and
instruction in all the bran* ,.:» taught by Mis. Garnett and
her Assistants, These are,— the English Language, iuolit
’ '’:ng it? grammar, with the arts of Beading arid Composi
rion; Writing, Arithmetic, Geography, and the me of the
. Globes: Also, Belles Bettres, the Elements of Chemistry,
of Natural and .' ’oral Philosophy, the Latin, French, and
Italian Languages, with general Uislnrv.
i :»e \ rtmnoii lor August ri»<1 >cptcm!*cr is t'.c onlv
Holiday in the year; and in addition to the usual number
of <-ehool hours for live days in the week, Mrs. G. teaches,
when health permit', every morning during the session,from
»or 20 minutes hy sttn until breakfast. This time is de
voted, exclusively on Sundays, and chiefly on other days,
to religious and moral instruction; and n part of every
Sunday forenoon is spent hy all the younger portion of her
5 upi»s, in a Sunday School, attended by some of her nei”1t
bnurs, her fdinily and herself.
AIInecessary hooks and Stationary will be furnished hv
Mrs. G. if dc-drrd, and at much Ir^-s than rrtail prices.
Music, Drawing ar.d Painting, will he separate charges,
payable at the end of the session, to the respective Tea’ch
•us. but through the hands of her husband. Their amount
'■nail not exceed what is common in other large schools.
Heretofore, in most cases, Mrs. G.'g pupils have burn
supplied with apparel and pocket money, chiefly at her dis- i
errtion. This responsibility she can no lunger take, cxcej t :
for very young children coming frftm a great distance. It!
is not to any advance of money that she. objects, but to
exposing herscif unnecessarily to possible blame of parents
and guardian?, anti to the certain discontent of her pupils
themselves, at restraints in expenditure, the true motive?
for which they almost always mistake. Sfcc well know®, i
much less will amply suffice than lor scholar? generally
"ronJd rrs't, if fh'ij rov'd hnrr. Sf-e j.;, t|.«.rc.f„rr, W e more *
sxil’citotis that some moderate limit should be positively |
Axed, hy parental authority, w!;:: ;i site would then take ;
care should never be tran«gros*fd. In a school so retired as
her®, there cannot possibly be a necessity fur much expense
in rlrexs, and «•!:11 less in pocket money, which, unless bes
towed iri charity, must literally be thrown away in the in
dn’-eace of mere animal appetite; which no scholastic
discipline can restrain within proper bounds, if money, the
effectual means of gratification, bo profusely furnished. |
fbrould any parents and guardians desire to supply va- i
cancies, (of which there will be several.) Mr!*. G. will i
thank them to apply as n>nn a? practicable,directly to her-!
self or husband. All letter® addressed to either, and di- 1
rerted to I.oretto, t^sex county, Viiginin, will be immedi
ately answered, and the applications registered according
[ »o their respective dates,* that each may be accsrpmnilar&d

A very remarkable discovery was made a few days
«go in the “Morris and Easton Canal,” about four
miles from this place. It is a mammoth skeleton, in
a remarkable state of preservation. It lay ahout A feet
beneath the surface, and was exhumed in excavating
the canal. It ,8 supposed to be much larger than that
m I ealo s Museum, one of the tusks being probably a~
bout t M) weight. The grinders look as fresh us if
hey had not been buried a day, though they may have
lam there a thousand years.
