Your earn est attention is,respectfully invited to the following advertisement of a New Original, Peculiar, and very Im portant Work. ,t POCKET VOLUME, 18mo, of 450 pages, il i-l_ lustrated by nearly one hundred engravings, entitled, Esoteric Anthropology. By T. L. Niel-I- A:n.B, M. D., Principal of the American Hydropath ic Institute, Educational and Therapeutical, at Portchester, N. Y., one hour's distance from New York City, on the New York and New Haven Rail road. A comprehensive and confidential •reatise on the Structure, Functions, Passional attractions and Perversions, True and False Physical and So cial Conditions, and'the most intimate Relations of Men and Women. The title, Esoteric Anthropology, will seem strange to many, but it is thoroughly appropriate. Anthropology, is from Anthropos, man, and Logos, a description. Esoteric, horn Eso, within, signi fies private, secret, interior, and was used by an ancient philosopher to distinguish their private lec tures, given in the interiors of their dwellings, up on the sacred mysteries of science and philosophy, to their chosen disciples, from their Exoteric dis courses, which were given to the public. Esoteric Anthropology is, therefore, a private treatise on Human Ani.tomy, Physiology, Pathology, Thera', euties, and Obstetrics—on the whole science of man=plain in language, full and faithful in illus tration, and written with all the frankness of a pri vate letter, under the seal of professional confi dence,. It contains the highest and deepest truths in every department of Human Physiology, with their individual and social application; the true na ture and hidden causes of Disease; the conditions of Health, physical and passional ; all that informa tion which every human being needs, which few dare to ask, or know how to obtain, but which, amid the discordances and depravities of civiliza tion, is of priceless value. There are many subjects connected with the broad science of Human Life, of the deepest and most vital interest to man and the race, in regard to which a terrible ignorance everywhere prevails ; an ignorance which is destroying the healths ' shortening the lives and sacrificing the happiness of millions—which threatens the power of nations, and the perpetuby of races. Professional works on Physiology are dry, me chanical, or chemical, astonishingly ignorant, as well as technically incomprehensible. The popu lar works are superficial, meagre, necessarily want ing in the most important matters. The quack books are full of errors, false in science, absurd in philosophy, mischievous in morals, and basely mercenary in their motives. In most cases these books are the advertising mediums of some spe cious charlatan, who wants patients, or letters of consultation, or who has some instrument to sell, or some nostrum to palm oft' upon the credulous. The world has need of a very different book from any of these—such a book as has never been writ ten, and as can not now be published in the usual way, sold by booksellers, and hawked by agents or pedlars. The author of Esoteric Anthropology, a Teacher, a Physician ' a public and private Lectu rer on all branches of Medical Scionce, has writ ten this book with a frankness he could never have used in a work for the public, or one open to criti -292,091 13 eism.

To the Teachers of Lancaster County, Male and Fe males and of every Grade of School. gnumber ot Teachers and others, composing the Lancaster County Educational Association and interested for the improvement of Schools, pro pose to hold '.a Teachers' Institute in the City of Lancaster during the week commencing on Mon day, January 24, 1853, and have appointed the un dersigned Committee to make and announce the necessary arrangements. The object and mode of proceeding of such an Institute are as follows : All the Teachers in the county who:desire to become members, assemble at stated hours daily during its continuance for mutual improvement. The most accomplished and experienced of their number are selected to ex plain, by lectures and familiar illustrations, certain of the branches most usually.taught in schools, and the . best modes of giving instruction in them, 'with the means of government and of treating the most usual cases ot difficulty which meet every teacher in the discharge of the duties of the school-room• The members of the Institute are not formed in to classes, nor questioned and drilled, like pupils in an ordinary school ; neither the time allotted to the Institute nor the standing of the teachers per mitting such course: They merely listen attentive ly to the instructions given ' and if they choose, take notes for future use : The object being, not to to exhibit them before the public in the character of mere pupils, but to elevate them in the eyes ot all, and in reality as members of one of the most useful and respectable professions, congregated for mutual improvement. The Institute, however, being a new thing among us, we do not yet posses the experience and skill requisite to conduct it. Hence, instruction, for the one now proposed will necessarily come from abroad. One accomplished Teacher has according ly teen invited from Massachusetts and another from Ohio, in both of which States these institut, tines are frequent and well understood. To these probably one or two others will be added, so that there shall be no lack of instruction. Hereafter Institutes May be held without such aid, there be ing sufficient talent among the Teachers of the county to conduct them, when the mode of so do ing shall have been once exhibited.. The branches selected both for explanation of their principles and illustration in: the modsrof teaching will be Orthography, Reading, Etymology, Grammar, Geography with map drawing, History, Writing and Arithmetic. The exercises will be in- 1 terspersed . with vocal music. During the evening addresses and Lectures, on subjects connected with Education, will be de livered by members of the Institute and by citizens of the city and county. Discussions will also take ptace. The Governor of. the Commonwealth and the Su perintendent of Crimmon Schools and other distin guished persons, have consented to visit the Insti tute during the w eek, . in order to encourage and sustain its members in their endeavors to benefit the noble cause of general education. The citizens of Lancaster, with noble hospitality, hays already in large numbers offered to entertain Teachers from the body ofthe county ; so that the Committee now feel justified in announcing that the professional members of the Institute shall be at no other expense while here than that of contribu ting to the necessary expenses of the Institute, which, if there be a full attendance, may not ex ceed one dollar-from each Teacher. The Institute will be held in FULTON HALL , a room - admirably adapted for the'purpose, and capa ble of seating a large audience. A committee will be in attendance at 10 o'clock A. hi.. on Monday the 24th inst. in the Hall to en rol the names of members and assign them lodg ings; at 2 P. M. of the, same day the regular exer cises will commence and continue till the following Friday evening or till noon on Saturday, as shall be found most expedient. Such are the ejects and arrangements of the . proposed Institute. It now remains for the Teach . ers of Lancaster county to determine by their pres ence or absence whether the projeet shall succeed or fail. THOS. H. I3URROWES, AMOS ROW, J. P. WICKERSHAM, D. S.

It is situated within half a mile of a good Merchant Mill, Saw Mill, Tannery, 4'c. It adjoins the lands of Messrs. Jonathan Peale, David Eller, and others, and CONTAINS 314 ACRES, 150 or 160 Acres of which is cleared and in a good state of cultivation ; some 15 or 20 acres is good Meadow, and more can be made, it desired. The remainder is well timbered. The improvements are, a large frame Dwelling House, containing 11 rooms, with a good Kitchen, (nearly new) adjoining Loomhouse, Smokehouse, carriage house, corn house, and all other necessary out-houses. The barn is somewhat out of repair. There is kfine spring of water, and also a good Dairy near the House. This is a good situation for a blacksmith and wa gon-maker ; and the wagonmakeris shop and blacksmith's shop are both here, and have been carried on for a number of years. There are also two other Dwelling Houses to suit both shops. seam ke There are two other Dwelling Houses on different portions on the Farm. This Farm would suit very well to be divided, if desired. There is a fine young Orchard near the main Dwelling House, containing ninety Apple Trees of excellent winter and summer Fruit, be sides Cherry and Peach Trees. There are also never-failing springs of excellent water •on differ ; eat parts of the place, and stock can have access to water from every field on the place. The Land is well adapted to all kinds of grain, clover, timo thy, and other grass. This is one of the most plea ' sant places to live in the Valley of 'Virginia. It! would make a very fine situation for a Farm, as the house fronts both the Rockingham Turnpike and Keezeltown road. Also, another Tract of Woodland, lying 11 miles east of the other Farm, containing 192 ACRES, adjoining the lands of Messrs. Samuel Ermin, Geo Nicholas. and others.
