rgNHE Building for this Institution is now

invite the attention of Parents and Guardians
to the advantages offered by I'rof. McCormick,
for the education of both sexes.
By the McCormick System of Education,
the reasoning powers are more expanded and
better cultivated in five months than by the old
system in live years.
Legitimate Education is the object of this
College ; without the aid of Theology, Music,
duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any
shape whatever.
Three Buies will be rigidly enforced: Ist,
early and punctual attendance; 2d, to learn
very fast: 3rd, to behave remarkably well.
The only required preparation for admission
will be good character, over nine years of age,
and exemption from all illegal and base asso
ciation, and no students refused because of
being graduates.
An effort merely to please a people, being
the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty
alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no
Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.

THE great, and important event*—Religious, Political,

world, give to these Publications an interest and valu.
they never liulore possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news items, crude
spentlntions, and Hying rumors of tho newspaper, and
tbe ponderous lomo ot the historian, written long after
the living interest in the facts lie records shall have
passed away. I lie progress of tlie War in tho East OCCU
pies a large space in their pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all
short-couimgs fearlessly (minted out. The letters from
the Crimea and from the Baltic in Blackwood s Magazine
from two of its most papular contributors, give a more
intelligible and reliable account of tho movements of tlie
great belligerents t lint can elsewhere lie found.
Those Periodicals ably represent the three great politi
cal parties of Groat Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,—
bill politics forms only one feature of their character.—
As Organs of the most profound writers on Science, Lite
lature, Morality, and Itciigion. they stand, as they evei

Th'-’ valuable remedy is called Negative Electric Fluid
and is prepared by V. W. Feat, M. If , New York. It i*
extensively used nt ih<* hospitals in France, and lias been
extensively used in the practice of a number of the most
talented nieiiibers of the medical fraternity. The atten
tion ofM’hy i< j.'ms is most respectfully solicited to tho
