feet in length and 40 in depth. In the basement, is a 

 large dining room, and the first and second story are the 

 schoohooms, principal's residence, and a chapel for 

 spiritual devotions. The third story is occupied as a 

 dormitory, and a room called the sickroom, which is 

 expressly set apart for such as may be indisposed ; a nurse 

 resides in this room, whose duty it is to attend to such of 

 the pupils, as it may be found necessary to remove 

 into it. In the rear of the building is a large yard, ox 

 play-ground, provided with a pavillion, seats, swings, 

 &c. for the pleasure and amusement of the pupils. The 

 Institution is provided with a very extensive Library, 

 and as music is taught, every room is provided with a 

 piano. It is customary in this Institution to have 

 musical entertainments from time to time. A friend of 

 ours who has occasionally been present, assures us, that 

 the performances of the pupils, in vocal and instrumen- 

 tal music, are truly excellent, and are probably not sur- 

 passed in [ iiy otiier Institution of the kind. Ornamental 

 needlework of various kinds, is also taught to great per- 

 fection, and all other branches, which constitute a practi- 

 cal education, receive their due share of attention. — 

 Their are six Tutoresses engaged, two always residing 

 in each schoolroom, with about fourteen pupils, whose 

 duty it is, not only to instruct them, but to have a 

 watchful eye over their morals, and to take walks with 

 them, after the daily exercises are closed. We are 

 indeed happy to be able to say, that the school is at 

 I)resent in a very fl-)urishing condition, under the direc- 

 tion of its present efficient Principal, Mr. E. A. Freeauf, 

 and his amiable lady. 



The Principals of this Institution, since its establish- 

 ment have been as follows: 



1794, Rev. John A. Huebner ; 1801, Rev. John Ilerbst,
