He was exemplary in his moral department,
and did not build his hopes of heaven upon
his own works of righteousness. Modest and
unassuming, his intimate friends only knew
his real worth. This bereavement will excite
the most tender sensations among a numerous
circle of friends and acquaintance, who had
been the recipients of his devotednes,, and

s.itution, at their annual meeting in May last,
the public are hereby notified, that, instead of
the usual Exhibition, there will be, for the
present year, public examination ofthe mem
bers of the Academy, on Wednesday, the Gath
of August next, at the Academy Hall, or in
the Meeting House, ii the collection of people
should render it necessary. The Examination
will commence at 8 o'clock, A NJ. and will
be conducted by the Preceptors, aided by the
Trustees, in the presence of tae parents and
friends OF the students, and all others who
may desire to witness their improvement
The prominent subjects Of attention will be

sophy, Geography. astronomy and Rhetoric.
At the close Of the Examination there will be
defamation, consisting of original and select
pieces and forensic disputations.
The public are invited TO attend the exer-

the performances of an exhibition.
