WARRENTON UNDER MR. MORGAN, 1814.
WARRENTON ACADEMY.
The Semi-annual examination of this institution will commence on the 1st Monday in next month. The undersigned, a committee appointed to engage a Principal and Steward for the ensuing year, have the pleasure to inform the public that they have engaged Mr. Morgan, a graduate from Yale College, in the first character, under whose direction the study of the different branches heretofore taught will be resumed the first of January next. And Doct. Gloster in the latter. The contiguity of whose houses to the Academy, and the high character as houses of private entertainment they have justly acquired as well as the great attention and care which it is believed he and his family will bestow on their guests * * *.
It is understood to be the Doctor's intention to lodge the smaller boys in his own house which is large and convenient, and place the larger ones with Mr. Morgan at the Academy.
