FRANKLIN ACADEMY UNDER MAYHEW AND HILLMAN.
The Examination of the Students of the Franklin Academy, took place on Monday and Tuesday last, the 4th and 5th instant. The Trustees are happy to announce to Parents, Guardians, and the patrons of this Institution, that the students generally passed a very excellent examination in the branches of education usually taught in the Seminary.
The exercises of this Academy will again commence on the first Monday in January next, under the direction of Mr. Davis H. Maheu, as principal, whose superintendence of this Academy for the year 1809, gave the greatest satisfaction. Mr. Maheu will be assisted by Mr. Hill-man, a young gentleman of talents and well qualified to teach the first branches of learning.
The well known and highly approved talents of the Principal, the healthiness of the place, the cheapness of board and tuition, together with the advantages of a handsome library recently established at this Seminary, it is presumed will be sufficient incentives to a liberal share of public patronage.
By Order, G. Hill, Jr. Sec.
Louisburg, Dec. 15, 1810.
