CONGRESSIONAL INTELLIGE EN- GER.

The proprietors of the NATIONAL INTELLlGEN-
cER in order to meet the wishes Of those whose
circumstances or inclination do not allow them to
subscribe even to a weekly Washington paper
during the whole year, have determined to is
sue during each session of Congress, a weekly
sheet styled The CONGRESSIONAL lNTELLIGEN-
cER,n to be devoted exclusively to the publication
as far as its limits will permit, Of the Proceedings
of both Houses Of Congress, and Official Reports
complete official copy Of all .fcly passed by Congress M
ring the session. Aa i5"
TO bring the price within the means of every
man who can read, the charge for this paper will
be for the first session Of each Congress One Dol
lar, and for the second session of each Congress
half Dollar. tf' Y tht
The price of the CONGRESSIONAL INTELLIGEN-
GER, to be issued on each Wednesday during the
approaching Session of Congress, will therefore be
One Dollar paid in advance
To enlarge upon the value, to those who take
no newspaper from Washington, of this publica-
ton, containing an impartial but necessarily abbre-
viated account of the Proceedings in Congress, in
Guiding an authentic official copy of all the laws
passed during the session, would be needless. The
man who takes no such paper ought to take one, if
he does not prefer remaining ignorant of what
most nearly concerns his own destiny, and that of
his family and Of his posterity for ever.
I|-When six copies are ordered and paid for
by any one person, deduction of one-sixth will
be made from the price, that is to say, remittance
Of Five Dollars will command six copies Of the
Congressional Intelgencer for the next Session.
A remittance Of Ten Dollars will secure thirteen
copies; and for Fifteen Dollars remitted from any
one person or place twenty copies viii be fer
warded
IgPayment in advance in all cases is inds-
pensable.

Der; each of five weeks continuance.
The summer session will commence on Thurs
day, the 22d Of May The annual commencement
takes place on the third Thursday in September
The Trustees have recently made various ar
rangements which will increase the efficiency Of
the Institution. They have increased the number
of Professors and provided for the most ample in
struction of the students. u#
Professor Baugher and Haupt are prepared to
board boys and to exercise special supervision
over their studies and department, and Parents who

ment under arrangements such as pertain to the
