TINE EXERCISES OF THIS INSTI-
Il tuIon will commence on the LIST Mon
day in January next. The Trustees have
succeeded in retainir the services of MIR
SAM'L. McCOk MICK, whose proficiency
in teaching is surpassed by few. Young
men can be thoroughly prepared to enter
amy of the higher Institutions OF learning
in the Southern States. The Village is
very healthy, and there is not, at present a
grog shop or place where ardent spirits can
bs UOLuned in IL.
Boarding cao be obtained rs cheap as at
other pLices IN private families.
The rates OF tuition are the same ms
those in Academies throughout the State.
The Academy building is at present un-
dergoing thorough repairs.
The surrounding country will find hero
advantages which will at least equal those
sf other places, and TO our District are held
out such Inducements as we believe will OBJ
viate the necessity OF sending our young
men aud boys abroad.
