HOLLAND'S ENGLISH SCHOOL, 1809.
Died,
In this City on Monday evening last, Mr. William Holland, an old and respectable inhabitant of this neighborhood. Mr. Holland was a native of England, (where we believe he had wealthy connections) but has been in this country many years. He, till lately, taught an English School in this vicinity, for which he was well qualified, as he wrote a most beautiful hand, was very correct in his manners, and a very religious and intelligent character.
