ANNOUNCEMENTS OF MRS. O'BRIEN, 1827.
WILLIAMSBORO' FEMALE ACADEMY.
UNDERSTANDING from recent applications from a distance, that it is not generaly known that Mrs. O'Brien's School is in operation, we take this method of giving it further publicity.
The present Session commenced the 2d Monday of the present month, and will close sometime in June, of which timely notice will be given.
Parents and Guardians are apprized, that they will have to pay from the time of entrance only, though it is desirable for many reasons, that they should come in as early as possible.
Terms. For Board and Tuition, including every branch, together with the Scientific studies, except Music, Fainting and Drawing, $60 per session. Music $25. Fainting and Drawing $15.
The pupils will be required to board in our family, as much useful information may be imparted in the intervals of study, independently of the care and attention due'to their conversation, manners and morals, which are mostly attended to during those hours.
Each young lady must be provided with a coverlet, blanket, pair of sheets and two towels.
Spencer O'Brien.
"Williamsboro', Granville co. Jan. 22, 1827.
The Edenton Gazette and Richmond Equirer will insert the above 3 times weekly and forward their accounts for payment.
