ty cents to one dollar, will be charged for the con-

The number of Pupils will 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. If, how

q competent assistant employed.
The location is near Ridgeway 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 the
path of rectitude. Being in the vicinity of War
renton, and those popular watering places, Shocco
and White Sulphur Springs, it offers peculiar in

spending their summers at those places, to have
their sons convenient, and at the same time remov-

cinating gayeties of the season.
The Buildings consist of a large and cOmmo-

The Principal, besides passing through q regular
and thorough collegiate course of study, has had
thirteen years experience in his profession, and
can exhibit the most satisfactory testimonials from
Patrons in different sections of this State and Nir
GINA. The course of study will embrace a thorough
preparation for admission into an advanced elias
of any of our Colleges, or for any of the practical
business avocations of life.
The discipline will be mild and parental, bu
firm and decided, Idleness and vice will not b
tolerated. A strict compliance with the regula
? tons of the family and school will be required
all; and characterization, if other means fail, wi
be met by prompt dismission.
| No sectarian views will be ilculcated, but th
religion of the Bible in its simplicity and purit.
will be recommended, and attendance upon churC
whenever convenient. A proper observance of Il
Sabbath and conformity to the requirements of
decent morality and breeding, will be earnestly e
forced.
n In addition to what has been said, the proper

e hazards nothing in saying, that his school posse
ses all the elements of efficiency and permanent
of and therefore merits the favorable notice and p
ronage of the public.
