MR. RICE TO TEACH AGAIN.
We have the pleasure to state that the Trustees of our Academy have engaged the assistance of the Rev'd Benjamin Rice. He will aid Mr. McPheeters in the higher classes. The character of Mr. Bice as a scholar and preceptor is so well known, that we hazard nothing in saying he will be an important acquisition to the talents already employed in this Seminary.
