THE reputation of Machine is now fully establish
ed as the mo.it reliable Machine in the market for
family use, and lias been attested too by thousands of the
most respectable families in the Union!
This Machine makes th- celebrated " Double Lock
Stitch,'' tht only one made by machinery that meets all
the requirements ol Family Sewing. Each stitch is tied
twice, so that every one is securely fasteued 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 roust 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
j does it require adjustment more than the mere change of
| thread and noodles to adopt it to the character of the
winkto be sewed—Cbarse or fine 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,
j No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as
much.
■ | A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an-
I Mveriug all the requirements of He family.sewing coarse
i and line work equally well, was the great desideratum of
1 the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN
| CLACK'S REVOLVING I.OOPKK. The stitch is beautiful,

the close of the Spring term.
No deduction will lie made for absence, except in case
of protracted illness of over two weeks.
Instrumental Music will not.as heretofore, be taught in
the In-titution, but by special arrangement —a clas- will
he taught in a iiall adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher ot Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience lias proved it to be eminently superior to
the plan pursued iu 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 Fiano Forte, per term $lO 00
Use of instrument for practice 3 00
Pupils boarding in the Hall will furni-h 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 in study arc thereby secured.
Normal Department -Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. ('. It. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, aud direct the course to lie 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. Cobum'a connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere w ith the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be 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.
