ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR 1833.
THE  EXERCISES
Of the Pittsborough Academy will be resumed on the third Monday of this month. The course of instruction pursued in this Institution is such as to embrace within its range a due regard to the wants of every denomination of pupils, being so arranged as to exclude none who are desirous of receiving instruction. Parents desirous of having their children prepared for the University of North Carolina, can have them qualified for entering either the Junior, Sophomore or Freshman Class. Exclusive of the Greek and Latin Classics, the French language is also taught; and the various branches of English education, including both the elementary and highest branches of Mathematics. The terms for a session of five months is $16.50; and no deduction will be made from this sum on account of a difference in the ages or studies of the students.
There are many circumstances which conspire to render this an eminently desirable institution—being located in the heart of a highly moral and intelligent society, and in a region enjoying all the advantages resulting from an elevated situation, pure water and a salubrious atmosphere. Board can be obtained either in the family of the Principal or in private families of high respectability, on moderate terms; and Parents may rest assured that the attention of the Principal to the manners and morals of the pupils committed to his care, will prove unremitting in its character.
The Central Reflector will publish the above until forbid.
January 1, 1833.                                                 P. Le Messurier.
