WESTERN MILITARY INSTITUTE,
DreunOn Springs. Kentucky.

TTNHIS Institution, account Of the rapidly in
i creasing demand for admittance, has been
compelled to change its location-the buildings at
Blue Lick Springs being insufficient for the accom-
mediation Of the large number seeking entrance.
Within the last year two hundred and sixty cadets
have been matriculatcd, Of whom near one hun
dred have left or been discharged mainly for want
of suitable quarters" Drennon Springs has been
secured the future and permanent location Of the
school. To the great body of our patronage, COM
ing as it does from the South and West, no point
could be more desirable. Situated within one mile
Of the kentucky river, midway between Frankfort
and Louisville it is easy of in all directions,
steamboats, passing both ways daily.
The buildings and improvements arevery extern
sive, affording ample room and accommodations
for three hundred cadets.
Its retired and healthful position eminently
adaptsit for the purposes of Military School. Be-
ing eight mics from any town, it is free alike from
the vices and extravagancies usually incident to
college life
The second term Of the ANIMAL series opens on
Monday, the 10th of February, and hereafter the
annual session will regularly open on tho second
Monday of September, and close the last Friday in
June For further information address
