FRANKLIN INSTITUTE. New Rochelle, eighteen miles from New York.

Judah A. Lee, A.M. has opened the above institution for the Board and education of young
gentlemen.  The situation is on a fine eminence, commanding a delightful view of Long Island
and the Sound, and for salubrity as well as beauty is surpassed by no place in this country.

The course of instruction embraces all the studies necessary to prepare youth for admission
into any college or counting house, or to enter immediately upon the study of any of the
learned professions.  Geography and Astronomy will be illustrated by transparent diagrams which
will render those sciences familiar and intelligeble to the youthful mind.  In addition to
these and the other studies, pupils will be taught the French Language in its purity, together
with the arts of Surveying, Drawing, Mapping and Planning.

Every attention will be paid, not only to the instruction of the pupils, but to their morals
and manners, diet, cleanliness, and health.  The dormitory is an extensive range of rooms, and
only two pupils will be allowed to occupy one sleeping apartment.  The garden and pleasure
grounds are extensive; and it is the intention of the proprietor to instruct his pupils in
Horticulture and Botany.

For further particulars, apply to Mr. W. W. Holmes,50 William St., Wm Bradford, 72 Maiden Lane;
and John Pearson, 169 Broadway.
