The subscriber takes this method to inform all gentlemen and            
ladies, that he proposed to open a dancing-school in this               
town, near Mr. Richard Olney's, on Monday, the 18th instant             
(provided a sufficient number present) where will be taught             
the minuet, double minuet, quadruple minuet, paspie,                    
gavotta, alouver, hornpipe, country dances, &c. of the                  
newest figures.  As he has had the honour of teaching the               
principal nobility in England and Ireland, and some very                
respectable personages in America, he flatters himself he               
shall meet with suitable encouragement, and doubts not of               
giving entire satisfaction.  Attendance will be given at his            
school on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, when the                  
ladies will be taught from nine in the morning to twelve                
o'clock, during which time no gentlemen will be admitted;               
and from five to eight o'clock, p.m. will be solely devoted             
to the instruction of the gentlemen.  In the mean time,                 
attendance will be given for instruction on the violin.  All            
gentlemen and ladies who are desirous of attending his                  
school, may be informed of the terms of admission, with the             
rules and regulations thereof, by applying at his lodgings,             
at Capt. John Peck's.                                                   
   N.B.  After one month's instruction, the gentlemen and               
ladies will be directed to attend together, on every Friday             
evening, at which time their respective parents inclined to             
speculation will have free access.  [signed] John Baptist
