This is one ofthe most beautiful and salubrious
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 the Episcopal Church Of the
Ascension, (Which wll be finished in short tme,)
and on the adjoining square is 81. Patrick's Church.
On the next square to the south is that splendid

Of the National institute, which has only been in OPP
Grafton few years, al is considered TO be unsur-
passed by any establishment of the kind in the
world for the time lt-ses been IN operation PER-
haps there are few establishments of its kind in the
country which possess as many advantages for
teachers, and scholars to perform their duty with
comfort and pleasure as this.
The house for the principal teacher upon the
spot with the three class-rooms already mentioned,
together with the we-seeced furniture, consisting
OF desks. maps black-boards &C., all in excellent
order, are advantages only 10 be appreciated by
those acquainted with them.
An experienced teacher who knows his duty, and
will do 1t, might raise mathematical and classical
academy, the profits of which would clear the prop
erty in one-half the time that's 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 conyenences 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 l3, 100
square feet within the enclosure The Academy
and the Cottage will be sold separately together,
as desired.
TERMS One-eighth part in cash; the remaining part
to be paid in seven equal annual instruments, with
interest senii-annuay; the purchaser give notes
with approved endorsers, the whole to be secured
by a deed of trust upon the property; -
P. S. Many persons of this city, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore, who have viewed the property late
ly, of the opinion that there is place in WASH
ington SO well calculated for confectionery and
pleasure garden, as any quantity of ground to the
amount of acres can be obtained on long credit.
Ninth street is ofhe 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. INCL.
