There is connected with it, in addition to the lectures, a good course of
private medical instruction.

6. Moor's Charity-School. This has now no distinct organic exist-
ence ; but there is a small fund which is appropriated, under the direc-
tion of the President of Dartmouth College, to the education of Indian
youths, in any department for which they are prepared.

During the late war, the college, in common with most others in our
country, was somewhat depressed; but it has since been resuming, and
even surpassing, its former status. The last catalogue embraces a fac-
ulty of instruction, thirty-six in number, and, in all the different courses
of study, four hundred and twenty-one students. As an indication of the
national relations of the college, it may be remarked that these students
come from twenty-five different States and Territories, at home and
abroad; and that, of the ungraduates, more than one-fifth are from
places out of New England. While the insitution is still in need of ad-
ditional funds for various purposes, it has been prospered financially.
Within the past ten years, not less than five hundred thousand dollars
have been secured for the different departments. Three new buildings
have been erected, making the whole number ten, and two of the old
ones have been enlarged and renovated; and funds have been obtained,
in part, for a new Library Building.

LITERARY INSTITUTIONS.

There may be some schools which we have failed to notice, but have
endeavored to give all a notice according to information received.

We gladly would have given a more extended account of these impor-
tant institutions of our State if we could have obtained the facts relative
to them. We requested the immediate managers of their respective
schools to be kind enough to forward us the facts, also stating why we
desirffd them. In many instances our request has been attended with
success, and the gentlemen receive our sincere thanks for their courtesy,
and we trust that the benefit derived therefrom, will be mutual both to
their school and the State. In other cases, our solicitations have not
been responded to, and if people in some towns see that their Academies
have not received that notice which they merit, they can attribute it to
the faculty who refused or neglected to give us the necessary informa-
tion.

Adams Female Academy is located at East Derry, and was incorpor-
ated in 1823, being the oldest female academy in New-Hampshire. Be-
sides convenient school buildings, it has a fund of $ 3,200, donated by
Jacob Adams of Derry. There is a boarding house connected with the
institution to accommodate young ladies from abroad.

It has always maintained a popular reputation as an institution wor-
thy the patronage of young ladies who wish to acquire a first class edu-
cation. It is situated in one of the most beautiful New-England vil-
lages, peculiarly free from injurious influences, and embracing scenery
