MAYHEW AND HILLMAN PRINCIPALS FOR 1812.
FRANKLIN ACADEMY.

The Students of this Institution were examined by the Trustees on Monday and Tuesday the 2nd and 3rd instant. Mr. Falconer, on their behalf, makes the following report: The Students in general passed handsome examinations—the more advanced classes distinguished themselves, particularly those who were examined in Virgil, Horace, and Cicero's Orations. All appeared to be well acquainted with the rudiments of the several Languages they had studied, which evinced the attention of Mr. Mayhew and Mr. Hillman to this essential part of Education. No Language can be understood or long remembered unless the first principles thereof are well impressed. The exercises of the Academy will again commence on the first Monday of January under the superintendence of Mr. Mayhew, the present principal.

December 20.                                                     G. Hill, Jun. Sec'y.
