THE inhabitants of this town having undertaken
to establish a school for teaching the English lan
guage, writing, and the practical branches of the ma
thematics, fubjed tto the care of trustees chosen for
the purpose ; it is requeued that any person capable
and willing to take the charge of such a school will
make it known to the subscriber on or before the 10th
day of April, at which time the election of a master
will be made. Those who apply for the office will be
required to produce the most unexceptionable testimo
nials of their good moral character. One hundred
pounds, New-Jersey currency, per annum, will be se
cured to the teacher whom the trustees shall employ.
And it is probable they will be enabled in a short time
to augment that salary, if he gives entire fatisfadion in
his duty. —A capable mistress likewise, who will take the
charge of an adjoining school, to be composed wholly of
girls, will find good employment, especially if she be
the wife of the principal master.
Signed, by order of the trustees,
SAMUEL S. SMITH.
