A CARD.

THE report that the subscriber cuntemplstcs
removing to Petersburg, is utterly unfo'r,d-
cd, He never spoke, never thought of such a
Measure. On the contrary, conscious that, in
passing through various forms, the Academy
has permanently retained the essentials OF a me-
ritorious school, he intends steadily to pursue,
in this place, the instruction of youth. -
From the united exertions ofan able sSsociate,
and Of the subscriber himself, every department
OF instruction derives suitable char&E5er of &C
tivity and usefulness. The time and attention
ofthe Professors are justly distributed between
The usual English branches, the minor and high
er classics, the theory and practice of the French
language, and the necessary parts of the Mathe-
mates. In English Grammar, Reading, Epis-
tolary Composition, Penmanship, Practical A
rithnetic, and Geography, History and French,
young ladies' are instructed with particular care.

W!LLIAM HARPER's PArEnr HEMP

~J LILLIAN tthkPER'S PATENT HEM p
w MACHINE, for breaking, beating and
| swinging Hemp and Flax
Which can be set in motion either by man
ual labour, animals, wind, water Or steani.-
Having devoted considerable portion of my
time, expence and labour to the construction
of this new and usefal invention-and being
perfectly satisfied as to its superior advan-
tage over all former machines for similar pur-
poses, l have on the 18th of Oct. last, secur-
ed the exclusive right to this machine, by let
tiers patent from the government of the u
States.
The simplicity Of the Machinery, and the
low price for which it can be erected, the
great ease with which it can be worked, and
the great saving of.labour and consequently
expence, with which its operations will be
attended, must render the possession of such
machine very desirable object to all those
who raise large crops of Hemp and Flax-a
species of culture at present of SO much i'm
portance to the rising manufactures of this
country particularly.
Il is nay opinion thatone horse power will
be sufficient to driTe machine with six
breaks 6 the s~ingiing knives, with aswuch
ease as it could draw a light ploughN and
those SIX breaks will requie asfranymen
to attend them with one al the skwjnEling
board--Bus,as the labour WI not be Navy,
boys of 1907 IA yeats, or evensworfen.m might
executeythe business>as well, and this force
YllSpsrferm at least 20 times as much in one
day as could be done ~ the same number of
common hand breaks and swinglers. deem
1t unnecessary to enlarge on the subject at
present, aud shall only observe that all who
have seen the construction of this machine,
have expressed of it their highest approba-
tion--and that am now erecting machine
in this place to be driven by water which
viii be ready in six OF eight weeks so as to
ASCERTAIN the expence gifts erection and test,
its utility upon Hemp which is now II adv for
the break--so that the members of TIE next
General Assembly and others who may wish
to view the machinery during the session may
have an opportunity of seeing it in operation,
and its construction, after which shall be
able to state the precise number of pounds
each break can prepare per day, and its
comparative superiority over the present
method of using Hand Breaks. According
to the best of my judgment, the common
hand break can produce from rs to 1oolbs
per day.--A model and schedule viii be fur
nished 10 all those who purchase Patent
Right.
