The Winter Examination ended on the 7th inst. The next Session will commence on Thursday, the 20th of January, 1831.
This institution has now been in successful operation five years, and continues, notwithstanding the pecuniary straitness of the times, to receive a full share of public patronage. The course of studies though liberal, is yet so regulated as to give no undue precedence to the ornamental branches of Education, and to allow of no intrusion upon the regular school hours.
A neat and well selected Apparatus, together with a handsome Cabinet of Minerals, facilitate the task of instruction in the several studies of Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, and Mineralogy. * * *
