exercises of this institution will commence its fall session on the
8th day of August next, under the superintendence of Mr. W.J. BINGHAM,

tact of imparting instruction, has given reputation to this school

religious society, give it strong claims to public patronage.
  The English department will be taught by Mr. J.C. NORWOOD, whose
qualifications, both moral and literary, are of the first order.

  No student will be received that does not board in a private house.
