OXFORD FEMALE SEMINARY HAS NO PRINCIPAL, 1838.
OXFORD FEMALE ACADEMY.
The Trustees of this Institution wish to procure the services of a competent Teacher for the ensuing year. Heretofore, the School has been well sustained—and to persons wishing a permanent situation, but few places offer as many advantages. Oxford is a handsome Village, and has always been remarkable for health. The buildings attached to the Academy consist of the Principal's house, and all necessary out houses for the accommodation of a large family.
As heretofore, the undertaker will be required to rent the Principal's house, and to take the School upon his own responsibility.
Letters upon the subject, "POST PAID," addressed to THO. B. LITTLEJOHN, Esq. President of the Board, will be promptly attended to. James M. Wiggins, Sec'y.
Oxford, N. C. Oct. 1838.
The National Intelligencer will publish the above, twice a week, for four weeks, and forward their account to Tho. H. Willie, Treasurer, for payment. J. M. W.
