same; and for the use of room, furniture library

8 10 for the summer session. Admission fee 8 To-
and there lea alcharge for average damages each
session. Fuel and lights are charged at cost, and
iege expenses of boarding student, exclusive Of
books and stationery, are from 8 $50 to 100 per
mum. The bills of each session are payable in ad
vance, excepting those for board, which paya-
BILE half at the beginning, and the other at the
middle of the session.
Several important changes have been made in
the department Of instruction, which will give to
it greater extent and efficiency, and will render
its advantages available to a larger number Of stu
dents. Two additional professors haze been APP
pointed, one in the department of Ancient Ian
guages, and the other in that of Mathematics. The
scientific course has been extended, go as to en-
brace practical surveying, the elements of engi
neerng, and other kindred branches. Young men
who are not candidates for a degrcc may, under
the direction of the Faculty, select such studies ms
suited TO their views and objects in life, and
may receive a certificate of their attachments
therein. Youths who are not fully prepared to
enter the college classes will receive such instruc
ton as will ht them to enter upon the regular col
lege course.
The buildings undergoing thorough repairs
and the grounds being laid out and improved
in O manner that will add much to the convenience
and attractiveness to its already bea tiful situation
II is believed the College never presented 30
strong inducements it now does to young men
who desire to obtain thorough and liberal educa-
ton. j. s. BACON

MAsON'S PATENT PURIFIED SPERM
1Nl OIL.-This Oil, for brilliancy, durability,
and purity as light, and for lubrcating purpo-
ses, whether applied to the delicate works of n
watch or the most ponderous machinery, surpasses
any oil now known.
prived of that substance, which seriously i'm
pedes the rapid movement of all kinds of machine
ryj and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any oleagnous substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas cam.
phene, it is so free from the dangerous xplosive
quality of the latter, beng solely sperm oil
purified.
So pure ID this oil that it will not freeze at any
degree of cold known within the limits of the
United States; having thereby in this, in every
other particular, an advantage over the best sperm
oil used
After devoting many years in experimenting
with the various oils, for the purpose of overcom
ing their impurities as at present fabricated, the
undersigned assures the public that he has
ceeded in producing the "ne plus ultra" of oils
He offers it as superior to any known oil in the
world for the purposes of burning and lubricating,
and invokcs the scientific of all countries to test
it and pronounce their opinion, Satisfied that all
will agree that it is the finest oil offered for
sale. WILLIAM d. TOWNSEND, Phia.
