in be had any where else Of amero thorough a
&c. extenIed course; thus sparing our people t
re- e. expense and sacrifice Of feeling incurred
OF sending their children abroad. Situated as
ISIS. Academy is, in the midst of a wealthy a
intelligent population, at a healthy point, CO
ate. nected with all the principal places Of
State by stage and nail facilities, and c.
pre- Quoted by competent teachers, we see
EN-. good reason why our most sanguine no
Bal should not be realized. We call on our fell
citizens Of this and The neighborlng counties
H., give our Academy a fair trial, and II io'
Of home, Where they can watch over the hea
the comfort and progress of their daughters dur
.rod their course of education-pledging oursel
0u that no efforts shall be spared to render it v
\ thy Of patronage.
