EXAMINATIONS AND ATTENDANCE.
The Examination of the Students of this Institution under the direction of Mr. Daniel took place on Thursday last, in the presence of the Trustees and a large assemblage of the Ladies and Gentlemen of the city and neighborhood. The performance of the scholars in general, was such as to reflect credit on their genius and application, and on the attention and assiduity of the Instructors. * * *
The friends of Literature and of their Country, will see with pleasure the growing prosperity of this Institution. It now consists of about sixty Scholars and from the healthiness of the situation, the goodness of the society, and the cheapness of board we may indulge the expectation of its future increase.
