E. HOLLISTER, PRINCIPAL OF OXFORD FEMALE SEMINARY, 1830.
SOUTHERN FEMALE CLASSICAL SEMINARY.
MR & MRS. HOLLISTER have removed their Seminary for Young Ladies to Oxford, N. C. and have engaged the assistance of Miss E. Humphreys, in the Department of Music. Of the qualifications of Miss Humphreys, the public need no better proof than the high reputation which she has maintained during the two last years as a Teacher of Music in Oxford, and the fact that previous to her coming to this place she was the principal Teacher of Music in the celebrated Moravian School at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
This Seminary, which has been in operation in Mecklenburg, Va. for two years past, has received unequivocal proofs of the approbation of an enlightened public. The plans employed for promoting habits of diligence and correct deportment, are, for the most part original, and very powerful in their influence.
The next Session will commence on Monday the 11th of January next. For further particulars, enquiries may be addressed to Rev. E. Hollister, Oxford, N. C.
Dec. 1829.
