THE POET Ic IWINTtR COMFAMD...
ONE of the most adn.iruble of Dryden'a prose "
performance, is a led: ration to the duke of Dorset '-i
in which runs very detain parallel between the
sisterarts of PJnthifj nd Poesy. We earnestly ad .
vise the polite scholar, after he shall h-ve finished
the perusal and mtditation of the ensuing essay to : '".
re ter-jo Dryden's celebrated tract, where maybe " -
found specimens of lieaudful Jiigtiae and biilliaaV -v
imagery, ami of wit, always sparkling if not of ar- " '
etiment, always eonvinchtsj. But ahitough this hi '
Lined parallel is a splentiid monument of tlie gei
nius und acuteness of its author, we think Its glory ii '
not .Vlktle eclipsed by the talents of a more modem v
writer, who bus muintuined the lufteriority of th :' '
Painterto the Poet, we think, with a force bf logii
which cannot be defeated. The old, and as it wa .

THE Trustees of the Raleigh Academy have the plea
sure to .inform the public, that they have engaged
the liev. William MTii eeteus, from Virginia, a gen
tlemun eniintmtly'qualific d for the undertaking, to become
the Principal of the Academy and I'astor of the City, and
lust he will certainly enter upon these important duties on
or about the first of May next.
Hit Trustees are highly gratified at the arranircments
now made for the future instruction if the Students of
this Academy, as they are convinced that scarcely any Se
minary of Learning m the Union oflcrs greater advantages
to Youth ot both sexes. .
The Female Department is under the care of Mrs.
Samboi'une, who instructs the Young Iulics in Music,
Di-awing, Painting, and every kind ot Ornamental and
Plain Needle-Work. Other branches of Education, such
as Natural and Moral Philosophy, Astronomy, Geography,
History, English Grammar, Heading, Writing, and Arith
metic, are taught them by the Principal and Assistant
Teachers. This is a course lately adopted in the Acade

derived by the Fertale Students.

All prizes not demanded within 12 months alter draw

The above Lottery is authorized by an act ofthe legis
lature of Xortli Cumlina, for the purpose of enabling tiie
Trustees ot the Newton Academy near the town ot
Vsheville, to coini)le:it the necessary buildings belonging
to the s;un'; iulalsoto establish a Female Academy in
the town of Asheville.
Which two objects the Trustee and Managers flatter
themselves will be a sufficient inducement, independent
ofthe flattering prospect held out in the above SCHEME,
to influence all zealous friends to useful Ins'itutious to be
come liberal purchasers of tickets And ihej deem it
unnecessary to expatiate largely in contra? ting ihe advan
tages these institutions may have (if well supported with
friends) over most other Seminaries For it is now
very generally known that Asheville is one of the most
healthy situations on this continent and lying in the
neighlHHirhood ofthe Warm Springs, and on the main road
from thence, (as well as fi-om the Western to the Southern
States)is more generally resorted to by the best characters
of both kexes during Summer and Autumn, (for the bene
fit of health )than almost any other place in the Southern
section of the Union And being also a place where board
and Tuit ion are had on verv moderate terms Where the
Youths ofthe sister states will lay the foundation of sound
constitutions together with their Educations, and receive
he visits of their friends to imdfrom the Warm Springs.
All these advantages united bear evident testimony of
the legibility of Asheville at a seat for Literary Insti
tutions And therefore on these" self-evident grounds, we
respectfully solicit the public patronage

and general utility ofthe object contemplated by the lot

their fellow Citizens to advance thirjriaiT effort to in
