pie shall 90 the next session, and we gave

may assist them in making their choice.
Commencing with the colleges we may
name Washington Is Lee University,

its scientific apparatus is costly and CON-

which has furnished more counting-rooms
with clerks than any institution of it's age
in this country, has issued its catalogue
for the coming session. AS we have often
before remarked of this college. it makes
the quickest return of the money spent
of any we know of. The fact that an
| applicant for clerkship is a ''Dunsmore
graduate" quickly closes the door Of COM
petition against those who are not. The
commercial houses of Staunton are filled
, by these graduates.
The Fishburne High School, at Waynes-
boro, with which the tide CT success and

chemical and physical laboratory, the work
turned out of which would alone establish
the reputation of school.
The Medical College Of Virginia, at
Richmond commences its forty ninth ses.
sion October 9th, the session lasting six
months. This is Virginia institution
which should be more largely patrpnized

young man who graduates there is fitted
to cope with diseases incidental to our
| climate, in way that he cannot be taught
elsewhere.
