ton Of the Trustees, hereafter, to extend the
buildings, go that all the boarding pupils may

under his immediate charge. The Academy
is located in a pleasant and retired part Of the
town, and in the vicinity Of respectable fami.
lies, where boarding can be had on reasonable
terms.

plain neat uniform dress for the pupils will be

Canton is one Of the healthiest places in the

intelligence and refinement, its citizens may
we'll compare with those of any interior town
in the State.
Il is the aim Of the Principal and Trustees
70 build up and permanently establish an instl.
tuition Of the highest order, in which all the
advantages of a thorough education to be had
any where else can be offered; thus saving to
our people the expense and sacrifice Of feeling
incurred in sending their children abroad. Sit
uated as our Academy H., IN the midst OF a
wealthy and intelligent population, at a healthy
point, connected with all the principal places
Of the State by stage and mail facilities, and
conducted by competent teachers, we see no
good reason why our most eanguine hopes
should not be realized. We call on our fellow
citizens Of this and The neighboring counties to
give our Academy a fair trial, and if foun1
deserving, to sustain an institution here al
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.
