The School continues under the superintendance of
the Rev. James A. Dean, M. A., as Principal, and Mr.

Three objects will constantly be kept in view :
1st. To promote thorough scholarship. 2nd. To secure
the students from the contamination of vice, and to in
still into their minds moral and religious principles. 3d.
To cultivate a taste for general knowledge. No pain
will be spared to obtain all these ends.

it is equally adapted to such as do not intend to pursue
a Collegiate course.

THE next session of this School will be opened

the same as in our female Colleges. Probably there is
no community in which a school could be located for
the training of youth, that exerts so little of unfavorable
influence and afford .greater facilities for forming virtuous
principles and correct habits of life . A philosophical
and chemical apparatus sufficient to illustrate most of the
principles in these sciences, is connectedwitn- the school.
There is also a library of well selected books to which
the young ladies have access, and they are encouraged
to spend their time not devoted to study in reading
useful books.

THE Spring Session of 1651, (the 17th under the

be able to announce to the public, that hereafter the en
tire Bnd undivided attention of both the Principals will
lie devoted to the interests of this Institution Mr. Ray
having relinquished a profitable and successful Male
school, in order to add his personal efforts to those of
the former very efficient corps of Teachers, in making
this all that a aood Female Institution ought to be.
The Board recommend, with very greatconfidence, the
Louisburg Female Seminary to the patronage of the
public Forcheapness, soundness of instruction, impar
tiality and fidelity in teaching, high-toned moral and re
ligious influences, and strictness in regulating the expen
ditures of pupils, this institution will compare successful
ly with any in the State. In point of health, the Board
give it as their deliberate opinion that this Village is not 1
surpassed by any location in the Central portion of the
State; and in support of this opinion they may add that
among the large number of pupils from the Eastern part
of the State, there has not been A (loath in thi oin-ht
year, that the Academies have been Under the govern
ment of the present Principals; and there have been, for
several years, very few cases requiring the attention of
a Physician ; and they understand, from tha most reli
able sources, that, for the last four years, Medical bills
among the pupils have been nearlv unknown ? &ml
I throughout the community there ha. been almost unin
terrupted good Health.
A Circular, prepared by the Principal, setting forth in
detail the government, course of studies, text books
prices, dec. will be issued soon, and sent on application
to all who may feel interested in the minutis of the
School Economy which will be observed and practised

FglHE Undersigned would respectfully inform those
-fl. engaged in Ihe Milling Business in N C.that hn
keeps constantly on band, and will supply at the shoitest
notice, that almiist invaluable article
YOUSfG'M IMPROVED PATEST
SMUT AND SCREENING MACHINE.
The only Machine of the kind that has stood the test and
riven satisfaction to the public. It has surolanied everv
Smut Machine yet offered in the State, more or less of
which has been taken down to make room for it. The
public need Tear no imposition, as there are now some 280
Machines running in N C; and I wish to offer no other
references than the gentlemen who are using them,
whose expectations have been more than realized in
their perfoimance. It not only thoroughly cleanses the
Wheat of smut, but also purifies it ofall other substances,
almost to perfection. It takes up but 4 feet squaie in
the Mill, and requires but little power. It is warranted
fur five years against breaking or wearing out, and also
to retain its cleaning qualities for that time.
There are a number of these Machines through which
100,000 bushels of Wheat have been cleaned, and they
have never been out of order one day.
There was awarded to it the Premium at the Maryland
State Fair, and a Premium with a Silver Medal, at the
Fail of the Maryland Institute, at Baltimore, last Fall.
