of wheat floor and common salt, bound on with a cloth.

Virginia papers formerly delighted to

Virrinia? JOHN BROWN. Who settled JOHN BROWN?—
Governor Wise.
Thev may now add to these queries another : Who set

P&, A Quartermaster of the Massachusetts

8®- SMALL NOTES.—The small notes issued
by nearly all the banks in the State, have now become our
principal circulating medium, to the exclusion of coin,
and to some extent, of bills of a larger denomination.—
: Gold dollars, among business men, are becoming, like
angel's visits, " few and far between," and silver is by no
means as plentiful as it used to be for making change.—
! Of course everybody takes the small notes, and glad to
get them, too. The misers who hoard up the gold and
silver in their strong boxes and long purses, are a little
suspicious of small paper money and consequently pay
them out as fast as they get them, which is a real bless
ing, for it keeps money in circulation, and lias a tenden
! cy to make the times better than they otherwise would
, be.
L&AF TAX ON NEWSPAPERS.—The Chenango
American says : If, after a printer has paid every tax
| that is imposed on other men, he Is required to pay an
additional tax on every paper he prints, why should not
j the rule apply to other parties? For instance, after the
' owner of a saw mill has been taxed for all the property
' he possesses, let him be required to pay a percentage on
every piece of lumber he manufactures ; and so with all
j other manufacturers. Call on the farmer for a percentage
! on the oats, rye, corn, potatoes, Ac., which he raises.—
Tax the Distiller on the whit-key and the brewer on his
I beer. Make the thing general, and we will go in for it—
i but we object to being selected out as objects of extraor
dinary taxation.
a®" How TO oo TO SLEEP. —Nodonbt there
are many of our readers who understand this delightful
art to perfection ; hut. there are certain conditions of an
imal economy, even in a state of health, when ".tired na
: Lire's sweet restorer" refuses to close our lids and seems
| pertinaciously to fly from us though wooed ever so warm
ly. The most natural and facile method is to place the
' head in a comfortable position, and then, taking in a full
, inspiration, breathe as much as possible through the nos
trils. The attention must now be fixed upon the fact of
i breathing. The patient must imagine that he sees the
i breath passing from his nostrils ; and the very moment
i lie brings h is mind to conceive this, apart from all other
l ideas, consciousness and memory depart, and—he sleeps.
The method is strange, hut simple, and the experiment
will prove its truth.
*
FEAT* We have been shown by Dr. 11. WES"
TON, of this place, a beautiful piece of Artistic Dentistry
—a set of teeth, manufactured by himself, on the" Con
tinuous Gum"system .which far surpasses anything of the
kind we haver before seen. For cleanliness and duribiii
ty this system of work possesses the greatest advantages
over the ordinary mode of dentistry. The gum is firmly
melted to the Platina Plate, allowing no crevice for the
collection of food or fluid to anoy the wearer. The abso
lute impossibility of tarnishing e plate, which retains
, its silvery brightness in every condition of the mouth—
i imparting not the slightest taste, must give entire satis
| faction. There W, in fact, a fascination about this style
| of work, which no other possesses, as Tt seems to com
l pete, in point of beauty, with nature itself. It restores
i the shrunken and distorted features to a youthful and an
i imated expression, so life-like in appearance that the
closest scrutiny fails to detect it. In artistic beauty, ac
curacy of adaptation, and durability, this work commends
i itself to all who are so unfortunate as to need artificial
! teeth.
As to this and other branches of dentistry, Dr. Was
i ION has no superior in this section of country.

EMERY'B
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
1 his a new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced into this region. It has no endless chain straw
carrier, but separp.tus all kinds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
toe well known Vibrating Riddle. Itis a simple, durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to be superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in nse. It remains only to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
be an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS & SEPARATERS
are not excelled by anv in market, are well constructed,
simple and durable. lam prepared to Sfipply all kinds
of

The Collegiate year is divided into three terms of 14
weeks each. The Anniversary exercises will be held at
the close of the Spring term.
No deduction will hie made for absence, except in cue
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 adjoiningthegronnds of the Institute,
| by the Teacher of Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for tire past terra,
and experience has proved it to be eminently superior to
j the plan pursued in former years. Special pains will h
. taken to secure the greatest progress of those wishing to
take lessons in this branch. Terms wij! be as heretofore :

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
famished at a slight charge.
ft is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board (a the Institution, as lietter opportunities
for advancement ia study are thereby secured.
yormal Department -Sitecial exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing them stives as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C- R. CUBi.'RN, the
abde and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present 1 to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, ana will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Praotke of Teaching,as aiso on other subject*
connected with Normal training.
These persons, therefore, intending to engage ia ttach
ing for the winter, will find ft greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term.
Prof. Coborn's connection with the institution Is not
such as-to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular dirties 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, ana iu rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support
