An Institution combining the science of the
West Point Academy and Polytechnic Institutes,
with the classical literature of our best Colleges,
adding the modern languages, and superadding
practical schools of Law and Engineering nearly
realizes the long felt desideratum of a university
able to meet the wants of Western progress-a

nation.

the various courts practitioner of great ability,
varied learning, long experience and exalted char
acter. His eminent qualifications, the wholesome
exercise and discipline of the Institute, and the
convenient observation Of the forms OF Judicial
proceedings, offer unusual inducements to those
who are earnest To achieve distinction as sound
lawyers.

The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating
that he is now offered SS75 per month, for COM
petent assistant Engineers. One of his former
pupils receives at this time, So 500 per annum, as

structon in KeDtucky-whilst others of the same
class receiving in different parts of the United

The time is rapidly approaching when there
will be great demand for such as have been pre-
pared, for that vocation, at the Western Military
Institute Nothing is hazarded in saying that
they will readily command $l 200 or $ 500 pei
annum. Every man of observation must see that
the gigantic enterprises already proposed will give
birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them
The rapid advancement Of our whole country, and
the eagerness of our people for exploring the hid
den resources of the new States and the newly
acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages
to come, to the skill and enterprise of the EngI-
neer, the Geologst, the Mneralogist the Surveyor
and the Architect. Young men who have an
aptitude for the Mathematical and Physical SCI
ences, will have wide field opened to them io
