as A ssistanls. Mr.. nderson is graduate OF
the South Carolina College, and has been en-
gagged in teaching in this and the neighborlng
States for several years past He is a teacher
by profession, and by the arrangements maze
with him his interest is intimately identified
with the prosperity of the institution over
which he is to pres de. He comes recommen-
ded TO us by gentlemen OF high character and
standing in this State, as an accomplished sch' &
lar, gentleman and II notwithstanding
with these qualities talent Tor maintaining
discipline an5 happy faculty of imparting
knowledge. Mrs. McFarlan has had long ex-
perienee in teaching, and is favorably known
10 our community Mr. Bode, who has been
heretofore associated with Mr.. Anderson, is
represented by him as ga thoroughly educated
German Musician, who has taught Tor many
wears with decided APPRECIATION in several cities
of the United States;" and his lady is well
qualified to instruct in all the ornamental
branches Of female education. Chemical and

The A cademy buildings, now in the course
cf erection, and shortly to be completed, Will
be spacious and comfortable, and are intended.
besides the School Rooms, Tor the residence OF
the Principal and his family, aud the accommo-
daion OF several boarders With tine liberal
means annually at their disposal, 1t is the nten-
ton of the Trustees, horeafier, to extend the
buildings, so that all the boarding pupils may
he placed in the family of the Principal, and
under his immediate charge. The A cademy
is located in pleasant and retired part of the
town, and in the vicinity OF respectable tami-
lies, where boarding can be had on reasonable
terms.
With the view to prevent extravaganza, q
nlain neat uniform dress for the pupils will be
prescribed. of which due notice will hereafter
be- given: And it will be a standing rule, that
no pupil will be permitted to attend dancing or
social parties, either public or private.
canton is one of the heathiest places in the
South during thc whole year; and for morality,
intelligence and refinement, its citizens may
we'll compare with those of any interior town
in the State.A
1t is the aim of the Principal and Trustees
to build up and permanently establish an instl-
tuition of the highest order, in which all the
advantages of thorough education to be had
any where else can be offered; thus saving to
our people the expense and sacrifice OF feeling
inc urred in sending their children abroad. Sit
uated as our academy is, in the midst Of a
wealthy and intelligent population, at healthy
point, connected with all the principal places
of the State by stage and nail facilities, and
conducted by competent teachers, we see no
good reason why our most sangune hopes
should not be realized We call ON our fellow
citizens of this and The nei ghborng counties to
give our cademy fair trial, and ii found
deserving, to sustain an institution here at
home, where they can watch over the health,
comfort and progress of their daughters during
their course of education-pledging ourselves
that no efforts shall be spared to render it wor
thy Of patronage.
