MIDWAY ACADEMY BURNS.
MIDWAY ACADEMY DESTROYED BY FIRE!

Messrs. Gales & Son,
As it is possible that the report of the destruction of my Academy by fire, may produce uneasiness and alarm with those parents and guardians of the pupils who resided in the Academy, I feel it my duty, through the medium of the Register, to assure them, that little or no loss has been sustained except the building itself.   *   *   *

As to a continuation of study, I procured the dwelling house of a near neighbor, on the next day, for a school house, and the misfortune produced the loss of one day only. On the second day after the fire, the foundation for rebuilding the Academy was laid, and I expect to resume business in the Academy on the 16th instant.

The alarm of fire was given from the Academy at about 1 o'clock on Sunday night, the 1st of February.   *   *   *

Feb. 5.                                                                            C. A. Hill.
