tion to promote the interest of his School,'
and accelerate the progress of his pupils.
He has taught the Classical Department
of the Fayetteville Academy during
three years; and has had charge of th
Washington Academy during the last
eighteen months, assisted by Mrs. San
ford in the Female Department. He
therefore hopes, from his long experi
ence and success in leaching, to merit
and receive a liberal share of public pa
tronage. Believing a moral and rigid
discipline not only conducive to the in
terest and future welfare of the Student,!
but likewise to the prosperity of the In
stitution, he takes this occasion to ob
serve, that every species of vice, immo
rality, and insubordination, will meet
with exemplary punishment. The well-
