OPENING OF SCHOOL POSTPONED.
OPENING OF THE EPISCOPAL SCHOOL—Deferred.
In consequence of the unusual inclemency of the past winter, the progress of the building designed to serve as a Dormitory for the pupils in this Institution, has been retarded much beyond the expectations of the Executive Committee, under whose direction it was commenced in December last. And as the material of the structure is stone, the process of working in which is necessarily slow and greatly dependent on the weather, there is now no hope of its completion by the time heretofore specified for commencing the School.
This circumstance, together with the difficulty likely to be experienced in procuring in time from the North certain articles of furniture indispensable to the establishment, and the recently expressed opinion of the Rector, that, without the accommodations to be afforded by the new building, he would be unable to carry into successful operation the system adopted, has constrained the committee, however, reluctantly, to postpone for a few weeks, the time for opening the School.
The public, therefore, are respectfully informed, that the EPISCOPAL SCHOOL will be opened, (not on the first of April, as before advertised, but) on Monday, the 2nd day of June next; at which time it may be confidently relied on that everything will be in readiness.
By order of the Executive Committee,
Raleigh, March 3, 1834. George W. Freeman,
Sec'y.
