ed spot in the midst of moral, lndustrlousneglI-
bourhood and is mainly intended for agricultural
YOUTH and the children of such parents as would
prefer patronizing country institution. IL has
been in operaiion for several years, and was IN
corporated during the last session oil the Leglsia-

buildings ; namely, one that is two stories hIgh,
capable of accommodating about fifty pupils on
the lower floor another that is one story nigh,
convenient as recitation room, and capable OF
accommodating about thirty pupils besides
these, there is also on the same piatt OF ground,
and contiguous TO the two other buildings,
.commodious brick church, convenient Tor DIVINE
service, and which may also be used Tor the pur-
noses of exhibitions and scientific lectures.

closed has been in successful operation under the
superintendent of the Rev. f.. THOMAS, A. M
the Principal, with MI ROBERT LOGAN, A. Is.
Assistant and Mr.. r. T. MONTGOMERY, Usher.
In future, whatever increase, diminuton or
change of teachers may occur In the institution,
care will always be taken to make such arrange
1nents, as that all the branches OF complete I'm
rlish education may, as heretofore be successful
ly taught, together with the Latin and creek
languages. =. ,

Augusta county and others, may find our Acade

useful education and any that may wish TO have
schools NAV here be qualified for teaching.
We have thus far been favoured with orderly
and well behaved scholars. Such will Away:
be cordially welcome to the school. Any tina
are known to be rude, if received at all, can re
main only probation, till they have established
their characters as diigent and faithful students
Having done this and proved themselves worth,
in other respects. they shall be fully entitled t.
our confidence and regard. No student will b
allowed to continue his connection with the AGA
DENY whose conduct is known to be vicious ant
demoralizing. The .ices of profane swearing
misunderstanding, intemperance, &C., with b.
discountenanced and as far possible prohibit
ed. 1t is expected that the usual temperate
pledge heretofore adopted, signed, and as far a
known, kept by all the school, will in like man
ner be signed by any that may yet enter the in
stitution. IL is that they shall abS:ainf from all in
toricating drink during their connerion NTH til
