THIS Institution, on 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 matriculated. 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 access in all directions
steamboats, passing both ways daily.
The buildings and improvements are very extern
sive, affording ample room and accommodations
for three hundred cadets.
Its retired and heathful position eminently
adapts it for the purposes of Military School. Be-
ing eight miles from any town. 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 the second
Monday Of September, and close the last Friday in
June. For further information address
