measures to place it upon and improved
foundation, and to endow it with advantages pos
sessed by few similar institutions in the country.
The Academy, heretofore merged in the College.
and fcourse subjected to all the evils which have
been found to attend the amalgamation of the two
depa rtments IN the same building, and under the
same government, now enjoys the privilege of a
separate establishment, without losing those which
resultfrom it's relation to the College proper.
A large and elegant edihce, with all the neces-
sarv fixtures of complete boarding establishments
has been erected and furnished in which the atu
dents of the Academy board, under the immediate
charge of the Principal and his Assstants ard all
its exercises conducted on system of its own,
uninterrupted by the interests operations OF the
other department. The furniture of the study
rooms and dormitories has been chosen with pecu-
liar reference to comfort and convenience rstudys
and no expense has been spared in providing the
apparatus necessary to render the meansoflnstruc-
| tion completes; giving to Newark Academy facill-
ties for prisate study and comfortable accommoda-
ton of students, fully equal to those afforded by
many Of our colleges
From itsintimate relation to the College students
of the Academy enjoy many advantages not gem
orally obtained at institutions of this kind. Those
who wish to pursue some particular branch which
falls more properly within the College course, may
be admitted TO recite any of the College classes.
Students also of proper age and discretion, by re-
commentator of the Principal, and permission OF
the Faculty, may enjoy the use of the College LII
brary without additional charge. Admission also
may be had to the Lectures, and such other prlvi-
leges of the College as can be proftaby enjoyed
by academica students.

cien;ly powerful TO destroy life, it is never so
terrible 10 its effects as the direct shot, which
Is frequently OF inconceivabe intensity.
Instances have occurred in which large mas

and tho tops Of mountains often bear the marks
Of fusion fom lis action, and occasionally vi
