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 Within the Reach of Every Family.
PRICE $37.
nemmer, Feller, Binder A Tucking guage, combined, $5.
THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish
ed as the most reliable Xfaciiine in the market for
family use, and haß 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 :-kill to manage it, nor
does it require adjustment more than the mere change of
thread and neeules to adopt it to the character of the
work to be sewed—coarse or fine as the case may be. It
will sew gauze luces, 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 tierfcct ®ewing Xrachine, one making a stitch an
swering all the requirements of the family.sewing coarse
and fine work equally well, was the great desideratum of
the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN
CLARK'S Revolving The stitch is beautiful,
trong. and elastic, and will not rip in tcear 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 lew :

The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14
weeks each. The A nniversaiy exercises will be held at
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 Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
lie taught in a hall adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher ol Vontl Music.
" This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience has 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 lie as heretofore :
Tuition on Piauo Forte, per terra $lO 00
Use of instrument on which to take lessons 50
do for practice 2 00
Pupils boarding in the Hall wilt furni-d] 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 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
aide and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, h i- kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present : tn conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequeut 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 Pall term.
I'rof. Coburii'a 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 be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repiilatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, ami iu rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support
