State of Maryland,
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN,
That the office of Principal Teacher in the said school {is
vacant.
A GENTLEMAN qualified to teach the higher Greek and
Latin Claflics, Geography, and the Mathematics, with
fucb other branches of literature as arc usually taught in such
schools, meet with liberal encouragement, and, it i*
believed, would obtain a very eligible settlement. For the

lon capable of taking charge of a Grammar S hool.
Asthis Institution is provided with buildings fufficient tp
accommodate the principal and his family, and from seventy
t9;eighty boyai; a library, an excellent philofophicil and ma
