Nashville Male Academy.
II K Trustees of the Nashville Male
Academy, take pleasure in inform
ing the Public, that they have at length
succeeded in employing the Rev. Mr.
John Armstrong, as Principal in this
Institution. This gentleman produces
the most satisfactory testimonials of his
pre-eminent qualifications as a Gentle
man, a Divine, and a Teacher, lie is
a graduate of distinction in the Colum
bian College, D. C. from which, besides
his Diploma, he brings the most flatter
ing testimonials of character and ac
quirement, from the Rev. Doctor
Shocco Female Academy.
RS. LUCAS respectfully-informs
her friends and the public, that the
Exercises of her School will re-commence
on the,? Monday in Februa
ry next. The Examination of her' Pupils,-
which closed on the 17th of No.
vember, afforded satisfactory evidence to
all present, of the progress they had
made.
During the present year an Academy
has been built, which will enable her to
board a greater number of Students,than
hitherto, , who will have the advantage of
her constant attention. The retired and
pleasant situation of the Shocco Semina
ry, its salubrious air and good water,and
the facilitywhich it presents to Parents
for communication with their children,
(being near the Stage road) offers in
ducements and advantages of which few
places can boast.
Mrs. Lucas stands pledged by her
former success and the approbation of
tnends, to devote herself assiduously to
the instruction and morals of her pupils.
Having associated with her, an able Fe
male Assistant, the following branches
of useful Education will be attended to,
viz: Spelling, Reading, Writing, Arith
metic, Grammar, Geography, Astrono-
j my, Philosophy, Rhetoric, Chemistry,
Staughton, President of the College, and
the Rev. O. B. Brown, President of the j Logic, History, Mythology, and Bot-

The Trustees have obtained from Chapel-Hill
the system of studies taught
there, and the course of studies in this
Academy, will be precisely such as to
prepare Students from this School, to
enter with case the Freshman, Sopho-
more, Junior, or even Senior Class of
our University.
The Trustees arc well aware of the in
conveniences that a young man labors
under who enters College, having pur
sued a course of studies different from
that taught at the University; and they
are determined to have an eye to it.
Board can be had in respectable fami
lies in town, at $37 50 per session.
The character of Nashville is so well
established for health, that it is deemed
unnecessary to say any thing here.
There are several never failing springs
of excellent water near the Academy.
The Trustees are convinced that no
Academy ever commenced under more
favorable auspices. Indeed, if a distin
guished Teacher, healthiness of situa
tion, cheapness of terms, and vigilance
in the Guardians of the School, can re
commend it to a generous public, then
we are assured that this Institution ivill
be very liberally encouraged.
