WILLIAMSBOROUGH ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR 1813.
WILLIAMSBOROUGH ACADEMY.
The Trustees have engaged Mr. Wm. Hillman, formerly of Franklin Academy, for the ensuing year. The school will be opened under his superintendance on the first Monday of January next, where the English, Latin and Greek Languages, Writing and Arithmetic, will be taught.
The moral character and qualifications of Mr. Hillman, are such as to give every reason to believe that the duties of his station will be faithfully discharged.
The low price of Board and Tuition; the very healthy and pleasant situation of the place are further inducements to those who wish to place their children in a seminary of this kind.
Board may be had for a few students in private houses in Williamsborough.
