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 larger number of stu
dents. Two additional professors haze been APP
pointed, one in the department of Ancient Lam
guages, and the other in that of Mathematics. The
scientific course has been extended, 30 to en-
brace practical surveying, the elements of engi.
neering, and other kindred branches. Young men
who are not candidates for degree may, under
the direction of the Faculty, select such studies
are suited to their views and objects in life, and
may receive a certificate of their attainments
therein. Youths who not fully prepared to
enter the college classes will receive such nstruc
ton will fit them to enter upon the regular col
eye course. -s-..t+. =, ~ :
The buildings undergoing thorough repairs,
and the grounds are being laid out and improved
in manner that will add much to the convenience
and attractiveness to its already beautiful situation

strong inducements as it now does to young men
who desire to obtain thorough and liberal educa-
ton. -.a---.-z- j. S. BACON,

every corner of our country, and are as household
words in the mouths ofthose who pretend to judg-

our most accomplished writer's, as we'll as the bu-
rims of the ablest artists enlisted to enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in engravings, in the world of
periodical literature, is owing to the fostering

Their imitators fail altoays in equalling them for

with promises of wind and words of sound, find
that these tce established aUorks are as yet the only
reliable sources to which they can look for faith

The publishers of Cooley and of Graham have
determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the

the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly

The best and freshest, both in Literature and
Art, will be found in their ample and greatly null
