THE next session Of this Institution will COM
= mence on Monday, the Sd of September. The
preparatory department and collegiate course are
both conducted by able and experienced Profess
sors, who devote themselves to the moral and I'm
tellectual advancement Of those confded to their
care.
A large and spacious building has just been
completed to be used exclusively for the accom-
modatiOn Of the younger students. Their dormi-
tory, play grounds, study hall, class rooms, &c
viii be entirely distinct from those Of the other
students, and officers especially assigned will at
tend them IN their pastInes and preside over their
studies A complete separation will thus be ef-
fected between the younger and older students,
the advantages of which must be apparent to all
those who have the least experience In the educa-
ton Of youth.
The observatory Of the College, its extensive
Philosophical apparatus, rich and varied libraries,
and Cabinet Of Minerals, Geological Specimens
and Shells afford to the Students Of this Institu-
ton advantages rarely to be met with.

SOMETHING TO OLD AND YOUNG.
PROFESSOR WOOD,a
HAIR RESTORl lTI'

II z z z 0 L 4 TIVE.
TNHIS preparation, although less than two years
Il before the public; owing to Its wonderful ef
fects upon the human hair and scalp, has already
obtained q celebrity and sale perfectly
paralleled. 1t has without the ordinary appliance
used for such purposes, won its way, and been
heartily welcomed to most Of the cities and towns
in the United States, the Canadas, and the West
India Islands Nor is this result surprising when
II Is remembered that its popularity Is based upon
Its merits, solely as established by ectual tests.
That this preparation will actually Restore gray
Hair TO its Natural Color, produce luxuriant
growth upon the heads Of the bald, prevent the
hair from falling off, and when used as tonic ar.
ticle, produce continual flow OF the natural fluid
and thus render the hair soft, glossy and wavy,
destroy diseases Of the scalp, and expel dandruf,
the certificates Of distinguished gentlemen ana
ladies In every part OF the country who have tried
II, and therefore speak what they know, most full
ly attest. That by proper use OF this estorative
the hair can be made to attain and retain its natu
raj color to almost any age allotted 10 humanity,
by removing the cause Of disease from the scalp
no matter how long standiHg-the concurrent tes-
timonials Of the press and the certificates Of nu-
merous respectable individuals OF both sexes, to
the use Of this curative, as well Of the recon-
mendatiOns Of editors and certificates before allu
ded to, can be had Of all agents.
