THE MISSES SLATER NOT TO LEAVE SALISBURY.
SALISBURY FEMALE ACADEMY.
A report having insiduously crept into circulation, that the Misses Slaters were soon to resign the charge of the Salisbury Female Academy, we are authorized to state, for the information of those who feel an interest in the welfare of the Academy, that these worthy young Ladies have no intention of leaving us; nor, to our knowledge, have they ever harbored such a thought The Academy is continually increasing in reputation under theirs and Miss MitchilPs instruction. It is with peculiar satisfaction we are enabled to state, that, while sickness has been prevalent in many towns to the north and south of us, we have had scarcely an instance of it here; the pupils in the Academy, especially, have been very healthy.
