THE location of this institution is in the up
per part of Augusta, fourteen miles Southwest
from Staunton, and three or four Northwest from
Mddebrook. 1t occupies rural and sequest r
ed SPOT i'm the midst of moral, industrious neigh
bourhood and is mainly intended for agricultural
youth, and the children of such parents as would
prefer patronizinga country institution. ii has
been in operation for several years, and was In
corporated during the last session oil the Legsla-
ture. The improvements are three several brick
buildings namely, one that is two stories high,
capable of accommodating about fifty pupils on
the lower floor another that is one story high,
convenient as a recitation room, and capable of
accommodating about thirty pupils besides
these, there is also on the same plat Of ground,
and contiguous to the two other buildings, a
commodious brick church, convenient for Divine
service, and which may also be used for the pur-
poses of Exhibitions and scientific lectures.
The institution, during the year that is just
closed, has been in successful operation under the
superintendent of the Rev. f. Thomas, A. NJ.
the Principal, with Mr.. ROBERT LOGAN, A. Is.
Assistant, and MIR. +. II. MONTGOMERY, Usher.
In future, whatever increase, dimnution or
change of teachers may occur in the institution,
care will always be taken to make such arrange
ments, as that all the branches ola complete En-
glish education may, as heretofore, be successful
ly taught, together with the Latin and Greek
languages.
The Academic year of ten months is divided
into two sessions of five months each. The tut
ton fees are ten dollars session for the English
branches, including Grammar and Geography,
fifteen dollars for the languages and Mathematics,
and twelve dollars for the Mathematics alone
Good boarding can be had in the immediate
neighbourhood for seven or eight dollars month.
Parents who would furnish a bed and allow their
sons to lodge In the second story of the Academy,
might by this arrangement obtain boarding some
what cheaper,
The next session Of five months, by leave Of
Providence, will commence on Tuesday the 9th
day of November next. The young farmers Of
Augusta county and otkers, may find our Acade-
my convenient and cheap place for receiving
useful education and any that may wish TO have
schools may here be qualified for teaching.
We have thus far been favoured with orderly
and well behaved scholars. Such will always
be cordially welcome to the school. Any that
are known to be rude, if received at all,
main only on probation, till they have established
their characters dilgent and faithful students.
Having done this and proved themselves worthy
in other respects, they shall be fully entitled to
our confidence and regard. No student will be
allowed to continue his conneXion with the AGA
deny whose conduct is known to be vicious and
demoralizing. The vices of profane swearing,
| misunderstanding, intemperance, &C., with be
discounenanced and as far as possible prohibit
ed. 1t is expected that the usual temperance
pledge heretofore adopted, signed, and as far as
known, kept by all the school, will in like man
ner be signed by any that may yet enter the in
stitution. III is that they shall aJS'ain) from al in
tOricating drink during their conneriOn with The
