—An A CADEMT
WAS advertised last May to be opened at Kingflon,
by the trustees of the town, under the care of
two inftrudors, but by a disappointment in obtaining a
re&or, itopened only in the English department, and has
already thirty students, who are taught reading, writing,
arithmetic, mathematics, and particularly surveying
with great accuracy. The trustees are now happy in being'
able to notify to the public, that they are provided with
a gentleman to take the chief care of their academy,
whose education and abilities give the highest assurance of
faccef, to the infti^utiun. Mr. John Addison, lately
arrived from Scotland, has undertaken the charge, and
will not only teach the Latin and Greek languages to
prepare youths for any college in America, but will intro
duce geography, natural philosophy, and such branches of
the belles lettres, as may in some measure answer to a
college education for such as do not chufe, or cannot afford
to go to a more public seminary. He also teaches the
French language, and has some pupils already engaged
for this department.
The trustees need not repeat what was mentioned in
their former advertisement, with refpea to the pleasant
ness of the place, the cheapness of board, and the security
for the morals of the students ; they only add, that this
academy is an object of their attention, which they mean
to infpe& narrowly, and intend to raise to as high reputa
tion and ufefulnefs as possible, while the character of the
reftcr, who has had a regular university education, and
has already taught with success in the branches above
mentioned, encourage the trustees to hope that this insti
tution will prove an extensive blessing to a populous part of
the province, which being far removed from any college,
has hitherto been criminally deficient in the important
article of a liberal education.
Any enquiries relating to this academy may be made by
addressing to Dirck Wynkoop, and Christopher Tappen,
Efqrs, or to the reftor at Kingston.
rW^HE lalutary Efleas already resulting from the
£ PAPER MANUFACTORY lately erected in
thisTiovince, is very sensibly felt by the Inhabitants
thereof, who consume many Thousand Reams of Paper
annually, that for 40 years past were imported from a
neighbouring Colony, to the very great Detriment of this,
as the Cadi transmitted from hence on that Account never
returned again, the Ballance of Trade being so very great
against us. And as no Manufactory can be carried on to
any Purpose without a Sufficiency of rough Materials to
work on, and as RAGS is the Principal used in the Paper
Branch, it may be necessary to inform the Publick, that
the Paper-Mill at Hempftead-Harbour, on Long-Island,
is now in great Want of a Quantity of that Commodity,
to preserve which too little Care is taken in this Place :
It is therefore hoped, and most earnestly requested, some
little Attention may be paid to the Preservation of RAGS
in this City, which is but too often thrown into the Fire,
or swept out of Doors, for which the highest Price will
be given by HUGH GAINE.
N. B. Three Pence per Pound will be given
for the best RAGS, and in Proportion for those of
an inferior Sort.
