Proposition FOR AN ACADEMY.--We
learn that the proprietors Of the Benton House
offer the building and grounds for the use OF
the public, as an Academy, on the following
terms: Rent free for one year, and three hun
dred dollars a year for four years thereafter
At the close Of FIVE years they will sell the house
grounds and appurtenances, for $4,000. The
citizens propose to pay the rent, ht up the
grounds and building and give the use of the
property for the entire period to some gentle
man Of established reputation as an educator
who will take charge of the institution and make
it a first class Academy. Here is good chance
for somebody.
