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 Wilhiu the Reach uf Every Family.
PRICE $35.
Hemmer, Feller, Binder & Tucking guage, combined, $5.
THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish
ed as the most reliable Machine in tbe "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 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.
No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as
much.
A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an
swering all the requirements of the family, sewing coarse
and fine work equally well, was the great desideratum of
I the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN
CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOPER. The stitch is beautiful,
trong, and elastic, and will nut rip in wear or in acci
dental breaking a thread.
Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the
moaey refunded.
We have a large list of references but will give the
names of only a few :

CAUTION.
"To bp. or not to be— hat is the question 1
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition,
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink.
And opposing, end them."
rpHK proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver-
X tising tils Bindery to indulge in an uncalled fur fling
about a " sort of a concern," thief] is hoping " to delude
the public." As I have opened a Bindery- on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me. they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years 1 have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
Jia.s taken great pains t satisfy the public I was the " best
Binder in America," as tire columns of the Argus will
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding tbe pub
lic ?" I!" I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been tbe
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 1 know of nothing which prevents roe" from fol
lowing a legitimate and baw lul calling for my support

No deduction will be made for absence, except in case
of protracted illness of over two weeks.
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 flie 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 at 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 are thereby secured.
Xorrnal Department— Special 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 connty, 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, ana 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's connection with the institution is not
such as to In any way interfere with the discharge of the
regnlar 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 snpport
