MISS BOSWORTH AND MR. EDMONDSON COME TO ACADEMY.
The Trustees of the above Institution respectfully inform the public, that the Exercises for the ensuing year will commence on Monday the 4th of January, under the superintendance of the Rev. Wm. McPheeters.
The Female Department will be under the direction of Miss Bosworth, from the State of New York—a young Lady; who, the Trustees are assured, is properly qualified for the undertaking, being well educated and a perfect mistress of the polite and fashionable accomplishments of Drawing and every kind of ornamental Needle-work. Both Mr. McPheeters and Miss Bosworth will be ably assisted in their several departments.
The Preparatory School will be taught by Mr. Edmondson, a young Gentleman from Washington College, in Virginia, who is said to be well qualified for this department. * * *
