THE SALISBURY ACADEMY.
* * * Besides the large and elegant building on Academy Square, provided for the Males, a very convenient House has been prepared for the Young Ladies. The Male Department is at this time without a Teacher; a liberal Salary would therefore be given to a person to take charge of it, that was well qualified and well recommended.
In the Female Department, the Exercises are now commenced. The Ladies who have the superintendance of it are from the City of New York. To the care of Miss Slater, are intrusted the following branches of Education, to wit: Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Geography and the Use of the Globes; Belles Lettres and History. To the direction of Miss Mitchell, are confided the ornamental parts of Education, to wit: Drawing, the higher kinds of Needle-Work, Painting, and Music. * * * T. L. Cowan, Sec'y.
