bed to the amount of one thousand dollars, and one
half of said stock called in, and in that name a lot
of land, within half a mile of Millersville, in said

than twenty young men and ladies in attendance as
scholars; in view of the facts as set forth, we pray
your honorable body to grant us an act of incorpo-
