South Cornwall Academy.

HNHlS Institution will be opened on the A first Monday of October next, under the care ot E. B. ANDREWS, A. B. The lOca- ton of this School presents unusual induce- ments to the scholar who desires complete freedom from interruption. Cornwall valley was formerly selected as the location of the. Foreign Mission School, being preferred be- fore any other in New England on account Ot the rare combination of its heathineSs, beauty, seclusion and the morality of it's in- habitants. The advantages of this situation are believed to be unsurpassed by any in the land. The facilities of access by means ot the Housatonic Rail Road and the Hartford, Litchtield, and Poughkeepsie Stages, place this School within the reach of scholars from abroad.
 Instruction will be given in all the bran ches usually taught in our higher schools, including Vocal Music.
 The price of Tuition will be from three to five dollars, according to the studies pursued.
 Board can be obtained in pleasant private families at prices varying from $l,5O to $2,0O per week.

 It is frequently urged that Rheumatism cannot be cured by external applications. But it is certainly true, that it can be not only reached but entirely cured by external and internal remedies used at the same time. This the proprietor of the Lin:ment and Specific IS prepared to Rrove to lhe entire ing complaint, by literal and uDequivocaI waTantee that whoever will use one bottle of Dr. Delnmater's Rheumatic Liniment externally and one bottle of the Indian Rheumatic Specific ipternaly, and return the empty bottles to where they were purchased. # nOt CURED, shall have the purchase money refunded in full.
