FRANKLIN ACADEMY EXAMINATION, JULY, 1805.

The Trustees of the Franklin Academy, with singular satisfaction, announce to the public the promising situation of the Institution. On the 2d inst. in the presence of a most numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, the Students were examined in the English Grammar, Geography, and in the Latin and French Languages. On the 3d, they delivered select Orations and Dialogues: and in the evening acted a Play, in which they were assisted by some young Gentlemen in the neighborhood, for the benefit of the Academy. The whole was conducted with the utmost decorum and regularity, and the performances of the students very far exceeded the expectations of the Trustees. They cannot refrain from saying, that the highest eulogium is due to the exertions as well as to the abilities of Mr. Dickinson, the President. And the Trustees, from this experience of the progress made by the Students, can predict with much confidence, that the Franklin Academy will he among the most useful of our public institutions.
