EDUCATION;
Notice is hereby given, that on Monday the twenty eighth of January next, a school will be opened by Messrs. Jones and Worley, at the royal spring in Lebanon town, Fayette county, where a commodious house is sufficient to contain fifty or sixty scholars will be prepared. They will teach the latin and greek languages, together with such branches of the sciences as are usually taught in public seminaries, at twenty five shillings a quarter for each scholar, one half to be paid in cash, the other in produce at each price. There will be a vacation of a month in the spring, and another in the fall, at the close of each of which, it is expected that such payments as are due in cash, will be made. For diet, washing and board room, for a year, each scholar pays three pounds in cash or five hundred weight of pork on entrance, and the remainder cash on the beginning of the third quarter. It is desired that as many as can would furnish themselves with beds. Success cannot be provided for less than the number of eight or ten boys at thirty five shillings a year for each bed.

WHEREAS the assembly have appointed John Brown esquire, a member of Congress, and Mr. Brown having informed me, that he should return to this district in May next, in order to attend his business, as usual in the supreme court, I have ventured to offer my services in conjunction with Mr. Gandy, to Mr. Brown's clients in all cases where I am not immediately on the opposite side of the question, without requiring from them any compensation, and shall be happy in any measure to be conducive to their interest, and I do further assure such of Mr. Brown's clients against whom I am employed, that I shall take no advantage of his absence, being sensible of the great benefits which this district will derive by his appointment, and being well convinced, that in accepting of the trust, he hath sacrificed his private interest for the public good, letters directed to me in this place shall be punctually answered.
