Plainfield Academy.
THIS institution commenced its summer term on the 16 th of May last, under the care of Mr. KEEP, Principal, and Mr CLARK assistant.
Plainfield, in point of ease of access, healthiness and pleasantness of situation, and other considerations favorable to the locality of a school, is, it is believed, surpassed by but few towns in the state. The building is a two story edifice of stone, finely situated on an eminence a little out of the village, and arranged to accommodate a large number of students.
Board, including washing and ordinary mending, can be obtained in respectable families, at $1,50 per week.

Entrance 1,00.
Reading, Writing, Elements of English Grammar, Elements of Arithmetic, per term, [of 15 weeks] 4,00.
Any of the above, with Geography, Surveying, Navigation and Book-keeping, 5,00.
