MISS RAMSEY IN CHARGE OF FEMALE ACADEMY.
LOUISBURG FEMALE ACADEMY.
THE Examination of the Pupils in this Institution closed on the 2d inst.
The Trustees cannot forbear expressing the very high gratification which this examination afforded them, for never in the pupils of any Academy did they witness a more perfect acquaintance with the various branches of learning usually taught in such institutions, a proficiency which, while it claims for the young ladies unlimited praise for their industry, reflects equal credit upon the skill and management of Miss Ramsey, their amiable Preceptress.
The Trustees can now with confidence recommend this institution to the patronage of a generous public, having engaged Miss Ramsey, the present Preceptress for another year, a lady who unites to qualifications of the highest order, manners the most affable and engaging.
The Trustees believe that taking into view the high qualifications of the preceptress, the healthiness of the situation, the low rate of board, and the advantages of regularly attending divine worship, this institution presents to the public claims not surpassed by any in the State.
The Exercises of the Academy will be opened the 1st Monday in January next. William Abendell, Sec'y.
Louisburg, December 20.
N. B.—Board can be had with any family in town at $40 per session.
