\, HEPsiEAS capt. Churle: Tomkie: has
advcrtised William Dickersan in this
Gazette as a descrter, and supposes him to
be persuaded so to do by some Tory, ]
bcg leave to relate tho truth of that mat
ter. The said William Dickerfim, who is
my son, was enhsted by capt. Tamfies
when u-.1deragc, and without my consent;
and in some short time after I applied to
capt. Tomkiex, and put him in mind, that
as ] had not given my siconsem ] would en
deavour to get my 'son home again.
However, as there was soon a call for
every man in the county capable of bearing
arms, to oppose lord Dunmore's invasion
of Gwyn's island, [. made no farther applil
cation for him, ct till necessity compelled
me, by the illnesi: of my wife. He ac
cordingly c'ame to see his mother ; and as
I had never consented to his enfisting, and
the family was in great need of his pre
sence, I thought I had a right to keep
him. But I am not a Tory, and as warm
a friend to my country as any man in it;
and if ever'there should be a call, no one
will be more ready than

TO be distinguished by the name of

for the liberal sieducatidti of youth, on Tim

the molt imponantbbranehes of iitdrature;
necessaty to prepare'yobng gentlemen sor'
theisiudy of law, physick, And theology,

'the most apprdVed plan. The edu'cation'
and_si morals of" youth being'the great ob-_
jects in view, those peculiarities which
form the complexion of— an'y party shall
have no place in the schsieme. 'l'he'rector,
with a suffi'cient'nuniber of assistants, are
to govern a d conduct the youth-inss theie
studies ; an si'24_ truflees, in conjunction
with nine' visiters; " are to conduct all the
other affairs of the acad'emy. The trus-ss
tees have already been enabled, by sub-si
scriptions taken m'the adjacent counties,
to erect several gonvenient'houses ; and a
considerable librai'y' of well chosen books,
and the most csiesintizd part; esa mathema-ss
tica] and philosophical apparatus, are alsh
provided. it is expected that thebuild
ings will be ready for, the receptiop of: the
students the 25th day of next month;—
Tuition is to be at the rate ossiqctizmd board
ing at 6]. los. per annum; one third of
the boardage money to be paid on the,
day of entrance, yearly. The siudents
are to provide their own beds, washing,
and candles; firewood will be gratis. As 4
the terms_ are low, the part of the c'oun
tr exceeding pleasant, healthyct andsiplgpss
tiiiil, and our present s orm of government
makes education pecuiizrly necessar , it
is hoped that no encouragcment Will be
wanting to enable the patrons us this insti -
tution to carry it on, and t'make it exten
sivcly usesul. As the tuition money is the
principal dcpendence the tutors will have
for their support, and the truliees depend
entirely upon the liberal contribulions of
the friends os learning sor eniafctging the
buildings and raising sufficient funds, the
pubiick have the best security for their
sidelity and diligence; and they flatter
themseives that those who savour .them
with donations, or the care of their chil
dren, will never find cause to call in ques
tion their catholick principies in conducting
this academy.
