Though establishments in large cities have biFtrto
been REGARDED as almost the only reliable sources Of q
Business E~iucGtion, We hope 70 render this INSTITUTION
no less worthy Of the confidence and patronage oil bu-
sincss men, than arc those to be found at the great
centres of trade. The comparative ~cheapness OF rent
and living enables us 10 furnish tri:foa * much lower
rates than it can be had in larger places;
Mr.. Cooper is well known as ar accomplished and
successful Teacher of tie Spcnccrian System Of. Pen
%manship, snd We feel no hcsitancy in saying thst Nc
he has no superior, except Mr.. Spencer, either ms q
Writer or Instructor, in any Commercial College in the
State.
As VIC have frequently been asked, within the pass
year, why the tuition fees for instruction in Do6Ft
Keeping are so much higher than for most other bran
chcs Of science, We deem it proper TO say that whifs
attending Mr. Duff : Commercial Colleges at Pitts.
burgh, Tor the purpose Of becoming fully acquainted
with that eminent teachers system, as we'll as with his
modes Of instructions. and also while visiting some ef
the best Commercial Schools in this State, We were
fully confirmed in the opinion which eight years OF
experience IN BlCR. hcCIlng, uNucr various clfcutV-
stances, had previously forced upon US, that to setcivcr
n thorough, practical knowledge Of the science of ac-
counts, the lupil must be under the constant care or
the instructor making the labor of teaching ono stu.
dent Book Keeping equal to that bestowed on several
in most other branches of science and therefore, FEM

AHisHe.-Mrs. X. II. McCLAIN, who has sp, n.
several years if preparing herself to teach the different
varieties Of Painting and Drawing, authorizes me to-
say that She will take pleasure in giving those who
wish her services, regular courses of instruction IN
Pen and Pencil Drawing, Water Color, Oil and Mono
chromatic Painting and S~kctching from nature
Terms moderate.
As the Board of Education of the Union School of
this place, think that l will, by opening such a school
rs that for which ! recently issued a circular, so inter-
tere with the success of the High School department
OF said Union School, as virtually TO violate the spirit
OF a contract made between them and myself a few
weeks since, | have agreed to dispense with all ths de-
partmorts of the Institution mentioned in said circular
except the Commercial Department, to which L will
therefore be able 10 give my entire ctentiop.
