FOREST HILL ACADEMY, 1820.
Forest Hill Academy.
THE exercises of this institution will continue the ensuing year, under the direction of Mr. Thomas H. Willie, who has superintended it for two years past. The prices of tuition, will be for Beading, Writing, and Arithmetic, $7; English Grammar, $8; Geography, $10; Latin, Greek, and Sciences, $12 per session. Board in respectable families, for 30 dollars per session. It is hoped that the qualifications of the teacher, the unremitted attention that is paid to the morals, as well as the literary acquirements of the students, together with the healthiness and good society of the neighborhood, will insure to this institution a usual share of public patronage. The exercises will commence the 1st of January next. John Ligon, Sec'y.
