mind that has any stir in it at all. l.y little enquiry and
practice, may learn to cultivate anything that grows.
i consider "the following variety of grapes the very best
to cultivate for out door culture in our northern climate,
out of the vast variety.
BURGUNDY.
■ This execllent hardy grape, is the true Burgundy grape
so highly valued tor wine in France. The fniit is very
sweet and excellent, and the hardiness of the vine ren
ders it one of the host varieties in the open air in this
climate. Bunch small, compact.(i.e. h i l ies closely -i t.)
Berries midle-sized. roundish-oval, black, juice sweet,
good, ripens about 20th of Sept. Thompson gives more
than forty Synonymes to this grape.
PRICE SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS.
CATAWBA.
Til is excellent native grape, was first introduced to
notice by Maj. ADLLM. ot Georgetown, D. C-, and was
found, by him in Maryland. It probably has its name
from the Catawba river, it is one of the most productive
and excellent of our native sorts. There is is no grape
in some portions of the United States, so good for wine
or table use. Beautiful bunches, pale red, rich musky
flavor, and very sweet when ripe.
PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
CLINTON.
Origin uncertain, said to have originated in Western
New York, growth vigorous, hardy, and productive,
hunches compact, berries round, rather lielnw medium
size, black, covered with a thick bloom, eatable eight or
ten days before Isabella, frosts make them very good.
PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
CONCORD.
This exceeding fine, hardy native grape, was raised
from seed by 15. W. Brtt., Concord, Mass. It is very
healthy, vigorous habit, and very productive, bunch rath
er compact, large shouldered, almost black, covered with
bloom, very sweet. it is more hardy than the Isabella, asd
ripens about ten days earlier. Consequently it is very
valuable for a large Northern range.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
DELAWARE.
The precise origin of this is not known, we have the !
following account of it from A. THOMSON", of Delaware, )
Ohio. It was brought to Delaware by a German, its ex
cellence attracted his attention, and an inquiry as to it.-, J
history. It was brought from New Jersey some eighteen !
or twenty years ago. haviug been obtained from tlie gar
den of a French gentlen en, RAI L If. I'KOVOST, iu Kings
wood twp., Hunterdon Co., N. J. It was known in that
vicinity as the Italian Grape, sent from Italy, bunch
small, a beautiful light red, or flesh color, exceedingly
sweet, one of the most delicious, hardy grapes. It is "a
vigorous grower, an e;iily aud profuse bearer, and prob
ably more hardy than the lsaln-lia, it ripens two or three
weeks before the Isabella. No grape more desirable
for our climate.
PRICE, THREE DOLLARS.
DIANA.
A seedling of the Catawba raised ' y Mrs. Diana Cre
hon, of Boston, and named by the Massachusetts Horti- ;
cultural Society. It was announced tlie be.-t and m—t j
beautiful of American gra)>es, particularly valuable for its
carliness. The color is a fine reddish lilac, it hangs long
on the vines and is not injured by severe frosts ; it is ex
cecdingly productive and vigorous.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
HARTFORD PROLIFIC.
Raised by Mr. STKKL, of Hartford, Conn. Hardy, vig- :
orous and productive, bunch large shouldered, rather j
compact, berry large globular, black,covered with bloom,
ripe about ten days before tlie Isabella.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
ISABELLA.
Tliis very popular grape, a native of South Carolina,
was brought to the North and introduced to the notice ol .
cultivators about ttic year lsls. Mrs. ISABELLA GIBRS,
the wife of GKOHUE Ginus, E-q.. in honor of whom it
was named. Its great vigor, hardiness, and productive
ness, with tlie least possible rare, have caused it to be
most widely disseminated. It is probably more hardy .and
ripens earlier than the Catawba, wliirh renders it inost
valuable at the North. It is so well known it is liardiy
worth while to describe the lie.iutiful fruit it bears.
PRICE TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
EARLY NORTHERN MUSCANDINE.
This grape ripens the last of Sept., is perfectly hardy. |
The variety is a seedling from the native white grape
raised by PHILEMON STEVENS. Shaker Village, New Leb
anon, Columbia Co., N. Y. Bunch fine and large, light j
amber color, and very delicious, very highly spoken of, j
aud very hardy and productive.
PRICE ONE DOLLAR.
REBECCA.
A new variety, hunches four inches long, and two and
a half inches in diamater. very compact, color light green
in the shade, or golden in the sun, and covered with a j
light bloom, sweet and delicious, ripens ten days earlier ;
tiian the Isabella, keeping a long time alter it is gather- •
cd. This superior white grape is undoubtedly a native— j
chance seedling in the garden of K.M. PEAKE, of Hud
son, N. Y.. proved perfectly hardy and productive. It is j
not so vigorous iu its habit- as the Isabella or Catawba ; j
but hardy and healthy, and being exceedingly beautiful, ;
as well as excellent, it mn-t he regarded as a very great j
acquisition, it is so well adapted to the North.
PRICE, TWO DOLLARS.
UNION VILLAGE.
This very attractive grape originated among the Rhak- |
crs at Union Village, Ohio, and was introduced by .Mr. j
LOXUWOKTH, of Cincinnati. It is undoubtedly a seed- j
ling of Isabella, is very vigorous in growth, and its fruit
often nearly equals the size of the Black Hamburg. It
ripens about the time of Isabella.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
The following tender variety of grape vines are all
raised under glass with one exception, the Chaxseta*. 1 •

vine. Black Hamburg. Red Muscat MVkite Syrian, Gohlcn

thing for nothing. A trunl thief is the most detpieah'e.
1 wish to advertise a simple fact only—no puffing in pa

ly tribunals cannot keep me up or down.
The above grape vines can be had at the garden of

\ NEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLE-1
JTA. MENT.—To all wanting farms, a rare opportunity
in a delightful and healthy climate 25 miles southeast of
Philadelphia on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, New j
Jersey. An old estate consisting of several thousands of I
acres of productive soil has been divided into Farms of ■
various sizes to suit the purchaser. A population of some j
Fifteen Hundred, from various parts of the middle States
and New England have settled there the past year, im
proved their places, and raised excellent enrps. The j
price of the land is at the low sum of from sls to S2O !
per acre, the soil is of the best quality for the production
of Wheat, Clover, Corn, Peaches, Grapes and I'egeta
llies. It is considered the best fruit soil in the Union |
The place is perfectly secure from frosts—the destructive '■
enemy of the farmer. ('rops of grain, grass and fruit are
now growing and can he seen. By examining the place j
itself, a correct judgment can be formed of the produc- !
tiveness of the land. The terms are made easy to secure
the rapid improvement of the land, which is only sold for j
uctual improvement. The result has been, that within the j
past year, some three hundretl houses have been erected, i
two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty vinyard and
Peach orchards, planted, and a large number of other i
improvements, makiug it a desirable and active place of I
business.
The Market, a- the reader may perceive from its loca
tion. is the best in the Union. Produce bringing double
the price than in locations away from the city, and more
than double the price than the West. It is known that
the earliest and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude
come from New Jersey, and are annually exported to the
extent of millions.
In locating here, the settler has many advantages. He
is within a few hours ride of the great cities of New Eng
land and Middle States, he is near his old friends and as
sociations, he is in a settled country irhere creru improve
ment of comfort and civilization is at hand. He can buy
every article he wants at the cheapest price, and sell his
produce for the highest, (in the West this is reversed,)
he has schools for his childien, divine service, and will
enjoy an open winter, and delightful climate, where lev
ers are utterly unknown. The result of the change upon
those from the north, has generally been to restore them
to an excellent state of health.
In the way of building and improving, lumber can be
obtained at the mills at the rate of $lO or sls per thou
sand. Bricks from the brick yard opened in the place*
every article cau be procured in the place, good carpen
ter:- are at hand, and there is no place in the Union where
buildings and improvements can lie made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself why the property lias not
been taken up before. The reason is, it was never thrown
in the market; and unless these statements were correct,
no one would lie invited to examine the land before pur
chasing. This all are expected to do. They will see the
land under cultivation, such is the extent of the settle
ment that they will no doubt, meet persons, from their
own neighborhood ; they will witness the improvements
and can judge the character of the population. If they
come with a view to settle, they should come prepared to
stay a day or two and be ready to purchase, as locations
cannot be held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia, and to all
settlers who improve, TUB RAILROAD COMPANY GIVES A
FREE TICKET FOR SIX MONTHS, AND A HALE-PRICE TICKET
FOR THREE YEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON In connection with
the agricultural settlement, a,, new and thriving town lias
naturally arisen, which presents inducements for any kind
of business, particularly stores and manufactories. The
tshoe business could be carried on in this place and market
to good advantage, also cotton business, and manufacto
ries ol agricultural implements or Founderies for casting
small articles. The improvement lias been so rapid as to
insure a constant and permanent increase of business
Town lots of a good size, we do not sell small ones, as it
would effect the improvement of the place, can be had at
from SIOO and upwards.

The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14

the close of the Spring term.
Instrumental Music will not, as heretofore, be taught in
the Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
be taught in a hall adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher of Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience has proved it to be eminently superior to
the plan pursued in former years. Special pains will be
taken to secure the greatest progress of those wishing to
take lessons in this branch. Terms will be as heretofore :
Tuition on Piano Forte, per term $lO 00
Use of instrument for practice 3 00
Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and the table silver a„ their option. It is desira
ble that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but when otherwise, these will be
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement iu study are thereby secured.
Normal Department- Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term.
Prof. Coburn'B connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will he spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and in rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support
