Glen Anna Female Seminary,

TOWNSVILLE, DAVIDSON CO., N. =.
WYE have made such arrangements with this
w Seminary that we can greatly aid in the
education of young ladies of limited means, espe-
cially if they wish to become te..;hers.
/. Our plan embodies these leading features
LIST. 1t p: opposes to educate such as are not as adj
cquately provided for, if provided for at al, many
other Female Institution in. the South. I'd. 1t in
wolves no humiliatng conditions. Sd. 1t is n self
sustaining plan. We are governed as follows, in
regard to applicants for aid. While VIC do not
confne ourselves to any class, We give the prefer
ence to, 1St, such as can be gu liIed in one year
to teach. I'd, such as will secure az least one pay
ing pupil for the institution. I'd. The daughters
of ministers of all denominations We require
full information as to, their age, health, experience
in teaching, if any, disposition, manners, piety,
and the amount they can pay IN H4Tance. on their
board and tuition. We will creilt a. limited num-
Der offrst class applicants, when necessary, with
the entire amount of their boar5 and tuition.
III. We will credit many other deserving applN
cants with all the expense of the3c tuition, except
twenty dollars a year. If they will pay their
board, and twenty dollars, annually, on their tu-
ition, and furnish their own books and materials
for ornamentals, we will indulge tEem foE tho
balance until they can teach and pay it. Beard
is Sc per month, exclusive of washing. Such
y~oungladies as prefer it, can do their own wash
ing; and then the expense of board and tuition
to paid in advance, would not be over $40 per
session of five months. The balance would be ON
time. These loan pupils are entitled to all the
privileges of others in. the Iusatdticn>
And III. We submit some of the considerations
which should influence all classes to patronze this
Institution: LIST. We have greatly reduced the
cost of female education. We. are educating a
class of young ladies that will be of great benefit
to all the other pupils. Sd. Our ability to. edu-
cate this class will be in exact ratio to the patron
age we receive from others. 4th. We shall have
teachers of different denominations. 5th. We
shall employ teachers competent to instruct in all
the branches, solid and ornamental, usually taught
in the best female institutions of the South. 9th.
Our system of physical training. 9TH. Heath
illness Of locality. Sth. The blessing of God which
has attended our first session.

HOW TO BUY PIANOS.

r purchasing so costly an article as a PA NO,
every one wishes to be sure of getting the best
and cheapest; and as there are degrees in quality
good, BETTER, BEST, and all makers are not equal
" desirable, we suggest that the wisest and safest
plan would be to take them on trial, from houses
Of established reputation and responsibility, whose
character would be sufficient guarantee against
imposition. We have been selling PIANOS for
more than twenty years, our instruments have
been spread almost broad cast over the country,
and no one can say that we ever sold a bad one

Wild Men in Africa.

There is another inhabitant of the woods,
by the Gaboon river, more to be feared than
the African boa. It is the wild man of the
woods-not the ourang outang, though an
immense ape-always acting on the offensive
and really to- attack man. The bones of his
extremities are longer than those of an ordi-
nary sized, full-grown man. | have examin-
ed them here, and while contemplating the
sculi, the jaws and the terrible apparatus,
really experienced a sort of shuddering. The
canine teeth are upward of two inches long,
and of proportionable bulk. THERE'S a ridge
running from the top of the nose backward
over the crown of the head to this is affixed
a muscle, by which the living animal draws
backward and forward a most frightful crest
of stiff hairs when enraged or prepared to
infict injury, he erects them and draws the
crests forward over his large eyes, utter
most hideous yells at the same time.
Nothing seems to intimfdate him. Some
times he advances with boughs of trees bro
ken off to conceal his approach and attack.
and suddenly grasps the legs of a human be-
ing, brings him instantly TO the ground,
breaks mis- bones by blows Of his mighty arms
and hands, and tears the flesh with his mon
strous teeth. The native huntsman who
goes in search or meets with him while pur-
suing less formidable animals, has learned
that the safest way to engage hrn is to act
on the defensive !; to let the monster draw
near, when he will Immediately seize the end
of the muzzle of the gun between his teeth
Instantly it must be discharged if the man
delays till the ape has compressed the barrel
so as to close it, or fails to give a mortal
wound, his doom is sealed Travels IN At
gicd.
Perry Davis Vegetable Pain Killer, as an inter-
nal remedy has no equal. In cases of Cholic,
Summer Complaint, Dyspepsia and Asthma, it
will cure in one night, by taking it internally, and
bathing with it freely. 1t is the best Liniment in
America. Sold by Pescud and Calling.
A pleasant Travelling Companion, and one that
no traveller should be without is Perry Davis
Pain Killer. A sudden attack of diarrhoea, dys-
EMERY or cholera morbus can be efectually and
instaneousiy relieved byit. It is equally %efectual
ia curing scalds, burns, &c. Sold everywhere.

REMEDY FOR CHINcH BUGs.-A Mr.. Powell
in a communication to the Richmond Whiq
recommends the sprinkling of Scotch snuff
on corn infested with chinch bug. A small
quantity applied when the dew is on the corn
or after a rain, will destroy the bug. Mr.
Powell has tried this remedy and by SO do
ing, saved many a barrel of corn. 1t il
certainly a cheap and easy mode of getting
rid of this pest of the country. The bug, NJ
doubt, dies from inhalation of the snuff.
