(SoL UMBTAN ACADENY.--This we-known
\ establishment ia now offered at private sale.
II is situated ON 9th street, between and streets.
The lot ofthe Academy is SO feet inches fronting
9th street, by lao feet deep, The building is 49 feet
by IS feet-sufhciently large 70 accommodate two
hundred scholars. II has three excellent class
rooms attached TO it. Within few feet of the
Academy is handsome cottage, very convenient,
and sufficiently large to accomwmodase considerable
family.
The cottage lot is 81 feet front by 100 feet deep.
Both the buildings are 40 feet from the street, and
S feet above its level. The lot Is well enclosed by
a strong substantial fence, and is handsomely i'm
proved by ornamental trees and shruhbery.
This is one ofthe most beautiful and saubrious
spots in Washington; it is situated in the Northern
Liberties, which, for rapid Improvement, activity,
and enterprise of its inhabitants far exceeds any
section of the city.
A.few yards to the south Of it, upon the same
square, is the Fourth Presbyterian Church; adjoin-
ing upon the north is the Episcopal Church of the
Ascension, (Which will be finished IN short time,
and on the adjoining square is 81 Patrick's Church.
On the next square to the south is that splendid
Establishment, the Patent Office, containing the room
of the National Institute, which has only been in OPP
Grafton few years. and is considered TO be unsur-
passed by any establishment of the kind in the
world for the time it has been in operation. Per-
haps there few establishments of its kind in the
country which possess as many advantages for
comfort aud pleasure as this.
The house for the principal teacher upon the
spot with the three cass-rooms already mentioned,
together with the well-selected furniture consisting
of desks, maps, back-boards, &c, all in excellent
order, are advantages only to be appreciated by
those acquainted with them.
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-haf the time that is proposed to be given
on it.
1t may be safely asserted that there is no place
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 six teachers could
do in an 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 a moderate expense. There are Is, 700
square feet within the enclosure. The Academy
and the Cottage viii be sold separately or together,
as desired.
Terms: One-eighth part in cash; the remaining part
to be paid in seven equal annual instruments, with
interest semi-annually; the purchaser to give notes
with approved endorsers, the whole to be secured

p s. Many persons Of this city, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore, who have viewed the property late
y, are of the opinion that there is no place in Wash
ington so we'll calculated for a confectionery and
pleasure garden, any quantity Of ground to the
amount of acres can be obtained on long credit.
Ninth street is ofthe most popuar 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. Mel.
