also at cost. An additional fee, ranging from ff-
ty cents to one dollar, will be charged for the con-
tingent expenses of fire, &C., at the Academy
The number of Pupils wi. be limited to twenty
five, as the experience of the most eminent Teach
ers has fully demonstrated the fact that moro can
not be efficiently instructed by one man. II, how
ever, a sufficient number should apply to justify
the expense, a larger number will be received and
a competent assistant employed.
The location is near R~idgeway Depot, on the
Raleigh & Castor Rail Road, in Warren County,
N. c., and every way desirable on account of its
healthfulness, its facility of access, and the supe-
rior advantages of its neighborhOOd. The sur.
rounding community is unsurpassed for intelli
gence, refinement and its entire freedom from in.
ducements calculated to lead the unwary from tn,
path of rectitUde. Being in the vicinity of War
%renton, and those popular watering places, Shoec,
and White Sulphur Springs, it offers peculiar in
~ducements to persons from the lower country
spending their summers at those places, to hay,
their sons convenient, and at the same time remoy
ed from the Whirl Of excitement attending the fas
cinating gayeties of the season.
The Buildings consist of a large and commo
dious dwelling, with ample room for the accom-
mediation of eighteen or twenty Boarders, and
neat and handsome Academy, containing tire
rooms, entirely new, anderected with special refer
ence to comfort and convenience in its arrangement
supplied with all the furniture and facilities for il
struclion, found in schools Of the highest grade.-
The Principal besides passing through a regulI
and thorough collegiate course of study, has ha
thirteen years experience ia his profession, ar
can exhibit the most satisfactory testimonials fro
Patrons in different sections of this State and vi
ginia. The course of study will embrace a thorou.
preparation for admission into an advanced ella
of any of our Colleges, or for any of the practici
business avocations of life.
The discipline will be mild and parental, b
firm and decided. Idleness and vice will not
tolerated. A strict compliance with the regu
tons of the family and school will be required
all; and INSTRUMENTATION, if other means fail, "
be met by prompt dismission.
No sectarian views will be inculcated, but
religion of the Bible in its simplicity and puri
, will be recommended, and attendance upon chu
: whenever convenient. Aproper observance of
Y Sabbath and conformity to the requirements o
decent morality and breeding, will be earnestly
forced.
In addition to what has been said, the props
= belongs ID the Principal. He thinks then, that
hazards nothing in saying, that his school pos
Ne ses all the elements of efficiency and permanel
!. and therefore merits the favorable notice and
ronage of the public.
