T HIS Institution will be opened by the Ladies ofthe "Holy Cross" in the beginning of October,

in the Town of Opelousas, for the education of theyoung Ladies of the Parish and of the neighboringParishes. The location is most delightihl, and offersall the exterior advantages which parents may desirefor their children. The system of education will em-brace all the branches taught in the best Institutionsof Americaor Europe : Reading, Spelling, Grammar,Composition, Rhetoric, Elocution, applied to theFreteb and Engish languages, to both of which theutmost attention will be paid, and both of which thepupils will most carefully be trained to speak and writewith correctness, elegance and fluency,-Writing,Geography, sacred and profane, ancient and modernHistory, Mythology, Arithmetic, Book-Keeping, theelements of Algebra and Geometry, Natural Philoso-phy, Natural History, Domestic Economy, Sewing,Embroidery, Artificial flowers, Drawing, Painting,Vocal and Instrumental Music.-Thislast branch willbe taught by a distinguished Artist just arrived fromNew-Orleans.

Nothing will be omitted to kindle in the pupils avivid emulation for learning; the greatest attentionwill also be paid to develop their minds, form theirhearts, and elevate their character. They will havenothing to fear from evil examples or evil associa-tions, remaining at all times within the enclosure ofthe house, and under the eyes of kind teachers whowill watch over their morals with maternal affection.They will receive no visits, except from their parentsor relations, who will be admitted to see them in theparlor, on Thursdays after the morning classes andon Sundays after the high mass.

The utmost attention will be paid to the health ofthe pupils, the diet will be wholesome and abund-ant, the sick will be nursed with maternal vigilanceand tenderness.

Religion is the ground work of education. TheInstitution is Catholic; however, young ladies whomay belong to other denominations will be received,on the only condition of conforming to the publicexercises of the house.

To enable parents to send their children at an earlierage to achool,-a child may profit from the age ofseven or eight, and even sooner,-tokeep them lon-ger, and send several of them at once, the most mod-erate prices have been adopted:-For Board ahdTuition, $100 per scholastic year of ten months, pay-able quarterly in advance; Day-scholars will pay $20,$30 or $40, for the scholasticyear, according to theirage and the classes they will attend. Music on thePiano or the Guitar will be charged $6 per month,$1 per month for the use of the Piano;-$3, permonth for vocal music.

Parents will have to supply their children withbooks and paper, and provide for the washing attheir clothes; expenses incurred in sickness will alsobe charged to them.

Boarders will have to be supplied, at their en-trance, with a musquito bar, a sufficient quantityof sheets, blankets, towels, and every day clothes;they must also bring the uniform, consisting forthe whole year in a blue dress, with cape of the

psie color, trimmed with black velvet; two sunWnnete, 1 blue, I of brown linen; two veils, 1 blue,2 yds, 1 white, 2 yds; a poon, fork, tumbler andknife; also a small bucket, brushes, combs, apitcher, bowl, and lookingglass ;--these three lastartlees will -be for sale in the house, to preserveuniformity in the dressing room.

Rector of the Churceh of Opelousas.Opelousas, August 16th, 1856.

A HAVE the honor of informing the pubSlie, and parents in particular, that, from

the 1st of July next, my Institution will be removedto the property of the late Mr. Jacques Lastrapes;andtbht, from that date, I shall be ready to reegivethe scholars, whom parents will confide to my care.That well-known position, at a short distance from

Opelonsas and Washington, being unquest.onablysituated in the most healthy part of the Pariah, andnot exposed to annual maladies, will assure to pa-rents the health of their children, whose studieswill never be interrupted.

So far as regards instruction and education, Ishall neglect nothing to merit a continuance of thekind patronage, with which I have been honoredhere.

Bad weather, alone, will prevent the scholarsbeing accompanied to Divine Service, every Sun-de.Franklia Institution.

Miscellaneous.

AYER'S PILLS,A nw and singularly successful remedy for the

ure ofall Biliou diseaas- Costiveness, Indi-gestion, Jandice, Dropsy, Rhematism, Feversout, Humors, Nervousness, Irntabolihty, Innamma-

tions, Headache, Pains in the Breast,•ide Back,and Limbs, Female Complaints, he. ndeed,very few are the diseases in which a Purative M.ed-ine is not more or less required,;an much sick-

nmes and suffering might be prevented, if a harm•less but effectual Cathartic were more freely used.No person can feel well while a costive habit ofbody prevails; besides, it soon generates serious andoften fatal diseases, which might have been avoidedby the timely and judicious use of a good purgative.This is alike true of Colds Feverish symptoms, andBilious deraements. They all tend to become orproduce the dep seated nd formidable distemperswhich load the hearses all over the land. Hence areliable family physic is of the first importance tothe public health, and this Pill has been perfectedwith consummate skill to meet that demand. Anextensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes-sors, and Patients, has shown results surpassingany thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cureshave been effected beyond belief, were they not sub-stantiated by persons of such exalted position andcharacter as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.

Among the many eminent gentlemen who havetestified in favor of these Pills, we may mention:

Prof. J. M. Locxa, Analytical Chemist, of Cincinnati, whose high professional character is en-dorsed byJowa McLEax, Judge of the Supreme Court of

the United States.Taos. Conwilx, Secretary of the Treasury.Hon. J. M. WRrnGT, Governor of In'diana.N. LoNworrra, great wine grower of the WestAlso, Da. J. R.. CHILTON, Practical Chemist, of

New York City endorsed byHoN. W. L. IAnr, Secretary of State.Wi. B. Aaron, the richest man in America.8. LILaND & Co., Propr's of the Metropolitan

Hotel, and many others.Did space permit, we could give many hundred

eertifcates', from all parts where the Pills havebeen ased, but evidence even more convincing thanthe x ience of eminent public men is foifr• intheir effcts upon trial.

These Pills, the result of long investigation andstudy, are offered to he pube as the best anadmest complete which the present state of medicalscience can afford. They are compounded not ofthe drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtuesenly of egtable remedies, extractd by chemicalprocess in a state of purity, and combined togethern such a manner as to insure the best results. This

system of composition for medicines has been foundin the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce amore efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob.tained by any press. The reason is perfectly ob.h-vious. While bythe old mode of composition,vrmedicine is burdened with more or less of aemonious and injurious qualities, by this each indi.eWual virtue oaly that is desired fr the curativeeffect is present. All the nert and obnoxious qual-ities of each substance employed are left behmn, thcurative virtues only be retained. Hence it sself-evident the effects should prove, as they have

oed, me pely remedial, and the Pillsa surer,more powerfuil antidtto to disease than any othemedidcine known to the world.

As it is frequently expedient that my medidneshould be take unde the counsel of a attedin gPhyician, and as he could not prely jud•e of aremedy without knowing its ceposition, I havesupplied the accurate Formu by which both mPetal and Pills me made to the whole body oPractitioners in the United States and British Amer-Ican Provinces. It, owever, thee should be anyone who has not received them, they will bepromptly forwarded by mail to his request.

Of all the Patent Medlicines that are offned, howfew would be taken if ther composition was knownTheir life consists in their mystery. I have no

e cmposition of my preparations is laid opento all men, and all who are competent to judge onthe subject freely acknowledge their rconvictions oftheir intrinsic merits. The Cherry Peetoral waspronounced by scientifie men tobe a wodan lmedicine before its effects were known. ManyInent Physicians have declared the same thig ofmy Pills, and even mre esnantly, and are wi-as to •rtify that their anticipations were morethan realised by their effects pon trial.

They operate by their powerful lsene a thehinternal viscersa to purify the blood and stimulate itato healthy action-remove the obstructions ofS otom s bows, ver, and other gas of tho

body, restoring their tn to halth, andby correcting, wherever they exist, such derange-mlents as ae the first origi odisese.
