ASHEBOROUGH FEMALE ACADEMY.
THE Exercises of the Female Academy at this place will commence on Monday the 17th day of June, instant, under the direction of MISS ELIZA RAE, of Boston. The Trustees believe, from the testimonials she brings with her, that she is eminently qualified by her experience, her education and in every other respect, to take charge of such an institution.
The prices of tuition for a session of five months will be $6 for Spelling and Reading; $8 for Grammar, Geography and Arithmetic; and $10 for Philosophy, Rhetoric, Needlework, &c; and $20 for Music on the Piano. Particular attention will be paid throughout to Spelling, Reading and Writing.
This place is believed to be as healthy as any other in the United States, and board may be had in any private family in the place at $6 per month.
It is intended to give a thorough course of instruction in this institution, and to qualify the pupils in every respect to take their places in society.
The Trustees flatter themselves that the distinguished qualifications of the lady who they have engaged to take charge of the School, the health of the place, and the low price the inhabitants have consented to charge for board, will attract to the institution a liberal share of public patronage.
