TJpHE Trustees ol this Institution take

that they have engaged the valuable servi

'Trustees have received very fluttering tes
timonials (both as regards his qualifica
tions as a teacher and his habits as a gen
ilemao,) Irom several genth men of Green
vilh , N. C. where, in consequence of the
sicUm ss of the climate, Mr. Lovejoy has
been compelled to abandon a very flour
ishing -diool, numbering about seventy
boy-; which, in. addition to letters receiv
ed Irom Giet nville, are an evidence of the
high estimation in which this gentleman
was held as an instruclor. Mr. Lcvejoy
is a graduate, is said to be a first rale ma
thematician and linguist, and fwhal is of
great importance) is said to possess the
tare faculty of imparting knowledge with
very great facility. The course of instiue
tion in the Pittshoro Academy will em
brace all the lower and higher branches of
education, including Latin, Greek and
Frrr.ch. It is designed to make this, as it
is believed it will become, a first rate Pre-
p.natory School for such as are desirous of
entering either ol the classes of the Uni
versity. 'The first session of the school
will commence on the 4h Monday of
July inst. Hoard can be had in respecta
ble families at SlO per month. Tuition
at the ordinary rates.
It is unnecessaiy to speak of the great
advantag s Pittshorough offers in point of
health and society, as it is believed they
are superior to those of any town in North
Carolina.
