The Trustees of the Pittsborough Academy are happy to announce to the public, that the exercises of this Institution are now conducted by Mr. John D. Clancy, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, who comes well recommended to them. It is unnecessary to name, that the place, in point of health, salubrity of climate, cheapness of board and tuition, is surpassed by no similar institution in the State.
Parents and guardians who may send their children here, may rest assured that every exertion on the teacher's part will he used for their advancement in learning; and the trustees pledge themselves, together with the teacher, that a strict regard will he had to their moral deportment. Under these circumstances, we flatter ourselves, that those who may try us will find that we have promised nothing more than will he performed. The trustees promise that there shall he nothing wanting on their part to render this institution such as will he highly gratifying to those who may intrust youth to their care. There is also a Female School conducted by Miss M. MacKenzie, whose method and capability of instruction is equal to any of the kind in the State.

By order, Joseph Small, Sec'ry.
