Here are fine needle work, paintings,
drawings, and school exhibits, which
bear no mean comparison with those
of like classes in other departments,
while in mechanical devices, machine
ry and architecture, the samples ON
exhibition astonish the visitors, and
elicit many remarks of admiration and
praise. These classes of their work
are represented in models of dwellings,
in locomotives, constructed without

The cap weighs Il7} ounces, and is
brilliantly FURNISHED. This polish
ought to last for centuries, as alumni

now made by a cheap process in Penn
