For English Grammar, the Classics and Sciences, thirteen Dollars per Annum; or three Dollars and a Half per Quarter.
The Reputation which Mr. Guthrie has acquired as a teacher in the Pittsborough Academy, renders it unnecessary to say anything here in his Favor; and Mrs. Langley's Talents in this Line have already been experienced to be such as deserve Patronage.
Mrs. Langley will receive Boarders at fifty Dollars per Annum, or twelve Dollars and a Half per Quarter (the Boarders finding their own Bedding) and to such as she may be favored with, she engages to pay the strictest Attention. Boarding may also be had at other Houses in the City.
Applications to be made to Peter Casso, Raleigh (if by Letter, the Postage must be paid) of whom any further Particulars relative to the Establishment may be had.
