MRS. BOWEN GOES TO FAYETTEYILLE.
Circumstances of a domestic nature having recalled Mrs. Bowen to Fayetteville, the Trustees of the Raleigh Academy have prevailed with Mrs. Sambourne to undertake the general superintendence of the Female Department thereof; in addition to Music, to instruct the Young Ladies in plain and ornamental Needle Work, Embroidery, Drawing, etc: her preeminent knowledge of which will not be doubted. The other parts of their education, such as Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Geography, History, the French Language, etc., will in future be taught by the Male Teachers of the Academy, all of whom are well qualified to discharge the duties of their appointments.
Feb. 10. Wm. White, Sec'y.
