erection on the grounds belonging to
the college II is the intention of the
Brothers to make their institution the
equal Of any in the country, and in this
worthy object they labor with indefatl-
gable zeal, and with every chance
of success in their favor. The
course of study, both in the col
legiate and commercial branches, is
most thorough, embracing all that IS
necessary to complete perfect educa-
ton. Those of our citizens, or citizens
in adjoining States, having boys TO edn'
cate, cannot place them at college
where they can have greater facilities
for acquiring perfect education. There
are many of our citizens who have not
visited this institution, and we can only
recommend them to do so, and traverse
its halls and class-rooms, to become con-
WINGED that nc such school exists IN
Tennessee or adjoining States. The
Brothers are always pleased to receive
visitors and conduct them through the
institution. Those residing in other
States can procure a prospectus ana
all necessary information by addressing
by letter the President, Brother Maure-
liam. Ample arrangements have been
made to receive regular boarders at the
college, an advantage to those not resi-
dents of the city. The faculty are en-
powered by charter to confer the AGA
demic and honorary degrees usually
conferred by universities, viz: Bachelor
of Arts, on completion OF the classical
course, and the degree of Master of Arts,
after the graduate has spent two yearsln
some literary or liberal pursuit. In the
commercial aud scientific departments
diplomas are awarded to students after
standing satisfactory examination. It's
with pleasure that we recommend this
fine educational institution to the read
ers of the LEDGER.

IT GIVES me pleasure to inform you
concerning the efficacy of the Expecto-
rant. Two years ago my son contracted
the bronchitis, and it became so bad he
had to take to his bed. procured a
bottle of Jayne's Expectorant, and CIV
ing it to him according TO directions, it
soon brought him relief; but strong
fever coming on. his mother and myself
got uneasy about him, and sent for our
family doctor. On his arrival he told us
the Expectorant might give him ease,
but it would not cure him. SO he gave us
some medicine of his own prescribing.
In one day, however, he was so much
worse we all feared he would die, and as
a last resort we concluded to give the
Expectorant another trial. To our great
Joy, after taking two bottles of it and one
box of the Sanative Pills, he was entirely
cured. Since that time have cured a
desperate case Of Group with it, and two
other cases of bronchitis. | therefore
can safely say it is the best medicine for
the throat and lungs i ever used for
twenty-eight years, and ! have no oblec-
ton to your making public my expe-
rience with it.-Peter Sduter, Lans'

This fine institution for the education
of BOYS is progressing in most salts
factory manner. The college building
at No. 2S2 Adams street, is located in a
healthy portion Of the city, and is pecu-
liarly adapted for collegiate purposes.
The corps Of professors is composed Of
men whose lives have been devoted to the
education Of youth. Last year the col
lege was established, and to-day it stands
in the front rank of educational institu-
tons in Tennessee. Already over one
hundred students attend the lecture
rooms, and their progress isremarkable.
The system Of teaching adopted by
the Brothers is probably the most
thorough and satisfactory that can
be desired by those desiring
the advancement of education.
Being perfect in all its details, no stu
dent can possibly progress through the
regular courses without coming out a
perfect and thorough scholar. Yegter-
day our reporter visited the institution
aud found it Progressing beyond all ex-
