VTOTICE is respectfully given, that a
Public EXAMINATION, in the
Quanky Academy is to commence on
the 23d of July next, and t o be continu
ed that day and the two following, dur
ing the usual school hours mid that
2 Rhetorical Exhibition,
Is to take place on Thursday the 2Gth,
to begin at 9 o'clock, A. M.
On Monday the lower, and on Tues-
j , -
day the higher branches of English edu
cation ore to undergo examination
and, on Wednesday, mathematieks, phi
losophy, and the languages. Previous
to the Exhibition, or on Thursday morn
ing, will be read the respective merits
or demerits of the scholars, as evinced
from ihc Examination; also, a report of
conduct and progress during the whole
of the preceding session, or the result of
weekly notices on the School Register,
of each individuals standing. Honors
and Premiums, then, to be conferred on
scholars who have especially distin
guished themselves. !
To the above Exercises the Trustees
and Principal solicit the attendance of
the Parents and Guardians of the youth
committed to their care, and of other
gentlemen and ladies friendly to the pro
motion of literature.
Our Institution first went into opera
tion in January last with about twenty
scholars, and has since increased its
number to upwards of forty. Previous
experience on the plan of Mutual In
struction, or that of the Monitorial and
Lancasterian combined as circumstances
required, connected with the facilities
afforded by having a uniformity of the
most approved school books, have ena
bled the Principal, the Rev. Sidney
JVcllcr, A. M. to conduct the School
himself, with no assistance except that
of his scholars. Should any, not ac
quainted with the above plan, doubt the
facility which it affords an individual for
teaching a large number advantageously,
let them not hastily decide against (what
is thought by many whose opinions are
entitled to deference) an improvement
in education; but as one means of get
ting light on the subject, let them attend
the coming Examination and judge for
themselves from the effect of the plan.
The next term (to continue about four
months) is to open after a recess of a
few days, or on Monday, the 5th of Au
gust. RICE B. PIERCE,

N. B. As there is a prospect of a
further accession to the School next ses
sion, therefore, in order to lighten the
task of the Principal, a suitable compen
sation would be made to some young
man, coming well recommended as to
morals, who might he qualified as
AN ASSISTANT,
And who might wish to improve him
self in study, and as a teacher on the
above named plan of Mutual Instruc
tion. THE TRUSTEES.

Mineral springs.
T is with much pleasure the Proprie-
iui)ui jjiuuswiciv juinerai springs
inform the public, that they are now
ready for the reception of company.
considerable additions have been made
ior the comfortable accommodation of
visitors. The Stage from Petersburg,
Va. and Raleigh, N. C. will convey
passengers to our doors. Three large
and airy rooms will be exclusively at
me disposal ot our guests. Guns. Mu
sical Instruments, Chess-men, aselection
of Books, Baths, (warm and cold) an
assortment of wines, &c. and every de-
sirame article lor the table, are provid
ed, bo that these Springs will be as de
sirable a retreat for the invalid, and for
those who desire to escape disease, and
to enjoy pleasure, as can be found in our
State. The Mineral qualities of the
waters have not been analysed; but their
benelicial ellects on those who have used
them, in restoring lost health and in giv
ing iresnncss and bloom to the com
plexion, are not doubted; and speak
more than any analysis could possibly
do, in their favor. Grateful for the en
couragement received the past season,
when they labored under all the disad
vantages incident to new undertakings;
and convinced by experiment that they
can come up to what they promise, the
Proprietors will continue to exert them
selves to secure the confidence of their
friends, and to give satisfaction in every
department ot their establishment.

ACADEMY take pleasure in infor
ming the Public, that they have engaged
the services of Mr. Thomas L. Rags
dale, a gentleman of high literary at
tainments, in behalf of this Institution.
All branches cf education, necessary for
admission into any of the classes of the
University of our own State, will be
taught in this Seminary.

branches of the English language, $20

respectable houses, convenient to the
Academy, at from five to seven dollars

This School is now in operation a

Ausrust. and continue until the first of
October by which time the Academy
will be removed from the place where
it now stands, to a situation highly de
sirable, both as regards the health and
morals of the Students. The Trustees
flatter themselves, that from the locality
of this Institution, from the character of
the inhabitants near it, and from the qua
lifications of its Principal, it is entitled
to a liberal share of patronage.

Accident. A little child of Mr.
Alfred Hicks, of Orange county,
lately came to its death by a
means which, we think, should be
a caution to parents. While run
ning about w ith an open knife in
his hand, it fell on the point of the
blade, which passed through the
skull, immediately above the eye
ball, into the brain. The child
survived but a short time.
Fatal Thunder Storm. Dur
ing a thunder storm in Chatham
county, last week, the kitchen of
Mark Bynum, Esq. was struck.
Of four negroes who were in it,
one was killed instantly, one so
badly injured that his life is des
paired of, and the other two seri
ously hurt.
