ASHEBOBOUGH ACADEMY EXAMINATION, 1839.
The first Session of this Institution closes the present week. The public examination of the pupils is going on while our paper goes to press. We shall notice the Examination next week. We would also invite the Communications of all Visitors whose attendance on the Examination may enable them and incline them to remark on the occasion.
The Exercises will be suspended for a few weeks, we know not at present how long,—to give Miss Rea an opportunity of a brief visit to her friends in Boston.
