afford gratultous instruction in the useful a
solid branches of education, and at the sal

be had any where else of mere thorough a
extended course; thus sparing our people
expense and sacrifice of feeling incurred
sending their children abroad. Situated as
Academy is, in the midst of a wealthy a
intelligent population, at a healthy point, c.
nected with all the principal places OF
State by stage and mail facilities, and c.
Quoted by competent teachers, we see
good reason why our most sanguiue no

citizens Of this and the neighboring ]cOuntiel
rive our Academy a fair trial, and if fol
deserving, to sustain an institution here
home, where they can watch over the hea
comfort and progress of their daughters dur
their course of education-pledging oursel
that no efforts shall be spared to render it "
thy Of patronage.
