IIiE SUBSCRIBED having accepted the appoint
d meat as Principal OF New London Academy, would
respectfully present to the public some Of Its claims 10
patronage. The eN perlence OF several years as an IN
,tructor in Western \ irglnla, has produced a deep and
settled conviction that, with an institution situated in
the centre Of a small village, ii Is almost beyond the
reach of possibility, 10 train the Youthful mind To lnlellec-
lual habits, and the heart to yIrtuous principles. The
temptations 10 vice and lndulcuce are So many and so pc
tent, that the most unwearied efforts of the Instructor, 10
make the accurate scholar, the refined, elevated and
virtuous youth, will frequently prove abortIvc. The re
tired location OF New London Academy Is, it Is believed
at least. a partial remedy for this evil.-Prescnllng no
ding 10 withdraw the mind from the steady and sober
pursuit of know ledge. or TO allure the heart to senses OF
OrbldIea pleasure.-Remarhably healthy and afford
ing every advantage essential 10 comfort and happiness.
The Academy Is a new aud elegant building, erected
within the last three years. in which the convenience Of
both teachers and pupils. has been eilcctualy secured

cherish their moral and religious interests. to lead them

'Ihe discipline of the School will be mild and parental,
but effective. While the Principal will exact on all oeca-
sions implicit obedience, he will, al the same time, en-
courage his pupils to consider him their friend, as well
as their guide, and all his requirements as having refer
ence only to their own ultimate good. They will be al

BILE character. All contention, anlnositles, and profane
