E. Clark's Revolving Looper
DOUBLE THREADED
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE
The Revolving Looper is a late improvement on Ray
mond's Latest Improved.).
Warranted the best in the world for Family Use !
Price Williiu the Reach of Every Family.
PRICE $35.
Hemmer, Feller, Binder A Tucking guage, combined, $5.
THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish
ed as the most reliable Machine in the market for
family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the
most respectable families in the Union.
This Machine makes the celebrated " Double Lock
Stitch," the only one made by machinery that meets all
the requirements of Family Sewing. Each stitch is tied
twice, so that every one is securely fastened and wholly
independent of all the other stitches for strength, so that
if the seam is cut or every fourth stitch broken, the sew
ing must hold good while the fabric will wear. The
machinery which makes this stitch is a marvel of sim
plicity, requiring no mechanical skill to manage it, nor
does it require adjustment more than the mere change of
thread and needles to adopt it to the character of the
work to be sewed—coarse or line as the case may be. It
will sew gauze laces, and all varieties, and kinds of fab
rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without
changing either needles or thread equally well, and re
turn to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction.
No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as
much.
A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stiteh an
swering all the requirements of the family, sewing coarse
and tine work equally well, was the great desideratum of
the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN
CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOPKR, The stitch is beautiful,
trong, and elastic, and will not rip in wear or in acci
dental breaking a thread.
Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the
money refunded.
We have a large list of references but will give the
names of only a few ;

And opposing, end them."
THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
tising his Bindery to indulge in an nncalled for fling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As 1 have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to tne, they arc in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and lie
has taken great pains t s itisfy the public 1 was the '"bi-t
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus will
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lic ?'' If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has Been tle
principal. But I refer to my work during that time as
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, 1 have resumed business here on my own ac
count, as J know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and Lawful calling lor my support.— !
I shall endeavor by good work and attention" to my busi I
ne - to give public satisfaction.

The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14
weeks each. The A universal y exercises will be held af
the close of the Spring term.
No deduction will be made for ai. . except in case
of protracted illness of over two week .
Instrumental Music will not, as heretofore, be taught in
the Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
lie taught in a hall adjoining the ground! of the Institute
by the Teacher of Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and exjierlence 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 owu bed and bedding
when-it is convenient, but when otherwise, these ii" l a
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Department - Bpccial exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. CO BURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize tlie 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. Coburu's couneetion with tlie institution is not
such as to in any way inteffere with the discharge of tlie
regular duties of his oflice.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulatation the institu
tion has hitherto eqjoyed, and in rendering it ruore wor
thy of future patronage and-support.
