THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish
ed as (he 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 wade 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 inechauieal skill to manage it, nor
docs it require adjustment more than the mere change of
( | thread and needles to adopt it to the character of the i
• i work to be sewed—coarse or line as the case may be. it ]
' will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of fab
-1 rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without j
> 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
1 much.
| A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch 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 LOOPER. The stitch is beautiful,
I 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 :

CAUTION.
"To L>e, or not to be hat IS the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous apposition.
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
| And opposing, end them."
j R T"'iiK proprietor of the Argus takes OCCASION in adver
I. rising iiia Bindery to indulge in an uncalbd tor Hmg
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 llicir
binding to MC, they are in no danger of living defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and be

instrumental Music will not, as heretofore, be taught in
the Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
be taught in a 'nail adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher oi Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,

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

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 Rtmlents from abroad i
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Department— Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. (.R. CO BURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, lias 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. Cobnrn's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties or his office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in high repnlatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and in rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support
