TTS late Examination closed, with an
-- Exhibition, on the 24th instant.
From the Report read on the morning of
that day, in the presence of a numerous
and respectable congregation; the Trus
tees take great pleasure in saying; the
conduct, and progress of the Scholars
(generally) has given entire, satisfaction
they would mention that, their new
and commodious building will be com
pleted before their School opens again.
They think, if healthiness of situation,
the good morals of the neighborhood,
and the well recommended and tried
qualifications of their Principal, the Rev.
S. WELLER, A.I. (who is to resume
the charge of their Institution the suc
ceeding year) warrant the hope of their
continued success, then, they can confi
dently recommend their Seminary to the
further liberal patronage of the public.

Enfield Academy.
rpiIE EXERCISES of the Enfield
Academy will be resumed the first
Monday in January next, under the con
tinued superintendence of THO. L.
RAGSDALE. The course of studies
will be preparatory to the Classes of the
University.
Helieving that a School too numerous
retards the progress of the Scholars indi
vidually, we have limited the number to
be received to twenty. This regulation
renders it necessary to increase the price
of tuition; vet the alteration will be more
than compensated by the accelerated im
provement ot the students. Tuition
fee, S25 per annum, and in even in
stance, half payable in advance. No
student will be admitted for less time
than two sessions. Hoard can be had in
genteel families convenient to the Aca
demy, at $5 per month. The strictest
attention will be paid to impressing up
on the Students the necessity of a gentle
manly deportment, bolh in and out of
School.
This Institution offers superior advan
tages to those who intend their children
and wards to pursue a Collegiate course.
The number of Students being prescri
bed; the Academy occupying a high and
healthful site, remote from scenes of dis
sipation; together with the skill and ex
perience of the Teacher, lead us to ex
pect a share of patronage.
