An experienced teacher who knows his duty and
will do it. might raise mathematical and classical
academy the profits of which would clear the prop
erty in one-half the time that is proposed to be given
on it.

where such an institution could be established to
greater advantage than the capital of this mighty
public The accommodations above mentioned
would enable three teachers to do more Justice to
two hundred scholars than five or six teachers could
do in establishment where such conveniences are
scarcely thought OF. The whole of the improve
ments have been put on the lot within these ten
years, and are in excellent order.
The Academy might be converted into handsome
dwellings at moderate expense. There are $500
square feet within the enclosure. The Academy

p. S. Many persons of this city, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, who have viewed the property late

pleasure garden, as any quantity of ground to the
amount of acres can be obtained on a long credit
Ninth street is one ofthe most popular streets in the
city for those who wish pleasure and exercise in the
open air
Another advantage which this property possesses
is, that it is situated at nearly equal distance be-
tween the old market and the contemplated new one,
and very convenient to both. J. Mel.
