The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14
weeks each. The Anniversaiy exercises will be held at
the close of the Spring term.
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
fthe Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
be taught in a hall adjoining the groe.nds of the Institute,
by the Teacher ot Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the 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 on which to take lessons 50
do for practice . 2 C
Pupils boarding In the Hall will famish 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
whC is convenient, but when otherwise, these will be
furnished a slight charge.
It isgtro' , <riy recommended that students from abroad
should hoardie the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement io study are thereby secured.
Normal DtparlmtnL -?oec.al exercises are arranged
without extra chargfe for preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. I rot. <_■ jj- COBL RN , the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
In the couniy, has kindly consented W organize the Tea

Theory and Practice of Teaching, ss also ohother subjects
connected with Normal training. . . .
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
t,. be present during the Fall terra.
Prot Coburn's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pain 9 will be spared, oil the part of the Facility and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and iu rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support .

EMERY'S
Celebrated Threshing Machines,
EMERY'S ONE AND TWO HORSE POWERS, are
too well and popularly known to need any description
from me, and I will only say that they continue to de
serve the reputation they have enjoyed for ten years, of
being the " best Endless Chain Horse Power in use."
These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos
sessed by no other power.
EMERY'S NEW PATENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced into this region. It has no endless chain straw
carrier, but separates all kinds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple, durablt
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, rnn easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to be superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced band at threshing, to
be &u admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS k SEPARATERS

GEORGE McCARB
WOULD INFORM HIS FRIENDS
and the people of Bradford county in general, that
he has purchf-sed the Marble Yard formerly owned by
Taylor A Cash, and has added to his stock a large as
sortment of
American and Foreign Marble.
He invites the public to see his large stock before pur
chasing elsewhere, as he has the largest stock ever in this
county. Customers purchasing at the shop or sending
their orders will save at least 50 percent, and not be
troubled with agents looking after grave stones before
the corpse is buried, and who are not responsible. Come
and see what you are getting. Having been in the busi
ness for the last 28 years, in the city of Philadelphia, he
intends to keep a variety always on hand of Marble Man
ties, Monuments, Grave Yard Posts, Head Stones and
Tombs, at city prices.
