HILLSBOROUGH ACADEMY.
BOYS commencing the Latin Grammar will be received, the next session, but no one to study English exclusively. Those who are advanced in the Languages, will, after a strict examination, be classed according to their Scholarship. We decline admitting students who are, at this time, qualified to enter the Freshman Class in the University of North Carolina as our scheme of studies extends no further than to a thorough preparation of our pupils for admission into this Class, at the opening of the session in January. The school will go into operation again on the 16th of January.
Dec. 26th. John Rogers, Princ'l.
