SOUTHERN PLANTER.— ADVERTISING SHEET. 



Southern Female Institute. 



Richmond, Va, 



THE Principals of the Southern Female In- 

 stitute, with this announcement of its 7th session, 

 tender their thanks to the Public for the liberal and in- 

 creasing patronage they have received at its hands. 



As this Institution had its origin in individual enter- 

 prise and has been fostered neither by aid from the 

 State, nor by denominational influence, it is with pride- 

 that they point to the appended list of patrons, believ- 

 ing as they do that it evinces the estimation in which 

 their labours in the cause of female education are held 

 by men of eminence and high character. 



The Principals are Virginians, and were educated in 

 Va. They selected teaching for a Profession and have 

 devoted themselves earnestly to it for a nu nber of 

 years in their native state. Relying upon the support 

 of the Southern people they established, six years ago, 

 tffis Institution, Southern in every feature and in all 

 its teachings. No expense has been spared to make it 

 worthy of patronage, and they hope to be supported 

 in the effort to make the South independent of North- 

 ern schools and teachers. 



The Boarding Department will hereafter be under 

 the immediate and sole control of D. Lee Powell who 

 has taken a large new house on the South-East corner 

 of 1st and Franklin Streets, for the purpose of accom- 

 modating a number of young ladies as Boarders. 



The Principals are determined that the opportunities 

 offered for acquiring a thorough knowledge of the 

 French and other modern Languages in their school, 

 shall be equal to those of any institution in the country. 

 One or more Parisian ladies will reside in the- family of 

 Mr. Powell, who will be required to converse habitu- 

 ally in French with the Boarders. 



The most experienced and accomplished teachers of 

 music, vocal and instrumental, in the city will be em- 

 ployed, and every effort will be made to secure im 

 provement in this valuable accomplishment, It will 

 be the duty of o.ie of the teachers to see that the music 

 scholars practice regularly and properly.

ECONOMY AND UTILITY COMBINE^ 



TO FARMERS AND MILLERS, 



DOUBLE SCREEN GRAIN CLEANER, 

 Patented by T. J. DOYLE, April 20th, 1852. 



THIS popular and extensively used Fan, 

 which 1 am manufacturing in Staunton, Va., 

 (where I have a number finished for inspection of 

 Farmers and others) has been awarded thirteen pre- 

 miums in the last four years, at Baltimore, Md., and at 

 the Virginia State Fair, held at Richmond last Octo- 

 ber, and at ull the leading fairs in Virginia and East 

 Tennessee. As an evidence of its superiority, we will 

 state that 3500 have been sold to Va. and East Tennes- 

 see Farmers in the last four years; they are made of the 

 best material, and warranted. We could append hun- 

 dreds of certificates to show its superiority in cleaning 

 all kinds of grain, but deem it unneceesary, as a trial 

 will give satisfaction. It cleans Wheat from cockle, 

 cheat, smut and all kyids of trash. It cleans clover 

 seed clean enough for any market without sifting, and 

 it is for all kinds of gram the best separator extant. To • 

 insure one, send in your orders early ; communications 

 addressed to T. J. Doyle, at Staunton, Va., will be at- 

 tended to. My Fans have my name stamped on them, 

 (price $35 in Richmond) for certificates send and get a 

 circular. State and county rights for sale.
