testimonials o! his character and capa-
city as teacher. He was originally ed

some time in Bristol, England, but subse>
queutly relinquished his profession and

ton of Europe. removed to the United

diture of nearly $1,000, at an early dav,
in repairing and returnishing the Acade-

purpose to which it is to be dedicated
New regulations have also been a,!op-
ted for the government of the school,
which will ensure constant supervision
of the trustees, and tend TO establish a
mild yet decided system of discipline

the pride and sense of propriety of the
pupils than 20 their fear of corporal pun
lShmept.
All the various branches usually taught
