WARRENTON ACADEMY UNDER M. D. DONNELLAN.
THE Trustees of this Academy inform Parents, Guardians and others, that they have engaged Dr. M. D. Donnellan, as Principal of the Institution for the next year. From a knowledge of his experience, his qualifications as a scholar, his steady habits and moral conduct, they feel every confidence that the School will be well conducted.
The School will be open on the first Monday in January. Tuition, Board, &c will be as low here as at most other Academies—and the Trustees assure the public that dissipation, idleness and extravagance will not be countenanced in this place.
The Latin, Greek and French Languages, Geography and such
Branches of the Mathematics as are necessary to qualify a student to enter a University, will be taught in this Seminary.
November 24.                                        Step. Davis, Sec'y pro tern.
