The tru tees IKE great pleasure in
announcing to 0pubic that they have
made arrangements which they hope
will enable this institution to enter into
successful competition with any similar
school in the State.

testimonials of his character and ca pa
city as teacher. He wss originally ed.
ucated for the bar, and practised law for
some time III Bristol England, but subse>
quen,ly relimqnished his profession and
after travelling over a considerable por.
ton Of Europe, removed to the United
States. and has been engaged in teaching
for the last seven years.
The trustees contemplate the expen.
diture Of nearly $1,000, at Ell early dav,
III repairing and refurnislling the hcade-

render it in all respects worthy of the
purpose to which il lie TO be d, dicatcd.
New regulations have also been adop.
ted for the government Of the school,
hich will ensure constant supervision
of the trustees, and tend to establish
mild yet decided system of discipline
among the scholars, appealing rather to
the pride and sense of Propriety of the
pupils than 10 their fear OF corporal pun

The geographical location of Stanton
gives it peculiar advantages for an A /.
cademy. 1t is situated in a healthy
and popuious region OF country near tle
centre of the State, and readily accessi>
BILE by various lines Of stages from all
quarters. These circumstances ,tog ether
with the cheapDess of boarding, would

manner TO gentlemen in Eastern Vir.

home.

guages and Mathematics at the rate Of
$50 for the session of ten months, and
