principstl- FALL Term.


We are requested to give notice that the
Fall Term Of Lancaster Institute will com
mcnce on Thursday, September 18th.
Cn lehalfo fthe Trustees and patrons, Mr..
BARBER went East some time last month,
and since writes that he has secured the
services, as Principal, of Mr.. ROBERT A.
DONALDSON, late 4 student and graduate
Of Middlebury COLLEGE, Vt, whom lie feels
warranted in recommending for the place.
Mr.. DONALDSON is to arrive few days be-
fore the commencement, after which time
be may be seen at the Institute Roous and
consulted by persons interested, as to terms,
DC. We presume the terms will be nearly
same as heretofore, certainly not to exceed
former rates,
Assistant and Music te9ehers will be pro-
vided. Board viii be furnished in private
families near the Institute, at such low rates
as will induce students to attend from
neighboring parts Of the county.
Lancaster Institute is well seated and
furnished with all neeaful apparatus Cor il
lustrating such sciences as. are taught in
Academies. Students from The country
vii probably receive as good care and pro-
tecticn at Lancaster as anywhere else, as
many Of the citizens, especially the ladies,
pay special attention to such as need their
watchful care.

followed BY political parties, it is best to
preserve party organizations until orderly

MINlsRAL $50 PER loooi!!-Smelters
in most parts oftre county are paying $50

price is one or two dollars better, and
about Potosi the same less. Mineral is al
most as high as it has ever reached. As
will be seen by advertisement, there is also
a demand and fair price for cattle. Some
other labor product may rise soon, then
some other one. We see no cause for alarm
or scarcity, and no reason for abandoning
any of the home institutions, or suspendine
business.
