The Trustees of this Institution, have the pleasure of announcing to the public, and par ticularly to the friends of education, that they have engaged Ira 33. Newman, as Superinten dent and Principal of their Academy. The Trustees invite the attention of parents and guardians, wbo have children to send from home, to this Institution. They are fitting up the building in the first style, and its location from its retired nature is peculiarly favorable for a boarding school. It commands a beauti ful view of the Delaware river, near which it is situated, and the surrounding scenery such as the lover of nature will admire it is easily accessible the Easion andMilford Stages pass it daily, and only 8 miles distant from the latter place, and a more salubrious section of coun try can nowhere be found. No fears need be entertained that pupils will contract pernicious habits, or be seduced into vicious company it is removed from -all places of resort and those inducements to neglect their studies that are furnished in large towns and villages. Board can be obtained very low and near the Academy. Mr. Daniel W. Dingman, jr. will take several boarders, his house is very conve nient, and students will there be under the im mediate care of the Principal, whose reputa tion, deportment and guardianship over his pu pils, afford the best security for their proper conduct, that the Trustees can give or parents and guardians demand. The course of instruction will be thorough adapted to the age of the pupil and the time KKAjVDRETII'S PILIiS. Cleanse and Purify llxc I51oo4. The application of the principal of PURGA TION being allowed to be one of the greatest utility in the cure and prevention of disease, it is of "the utmost consequence to as certatn what medicine is capable of producing the effect de sired, in the easiest, and at the same time in the most effectual manner, It has no longer to contend with the blind prejudices of the public ; it is only with those low who are still determined to be "killed according to rule," like the people of old, " who would have" a u King to reign over them." But, thanks to the circulation of newspapers thanks to the frenerai diffusion of knowledge, which enables nineteen twentieins oi me vsvrurj iu ieuu and judge for themselves now we no longer believe in swallowing . that d eadly mineral, Mercury professing to cure, but uuiversally lea-vino- us in a worse condition after its use. We no louger believe in the absurd notion that Inflamations of any kind cafii be cured by abstracting our life OUR BLOOD, it is now understood that an Inflamation is a wise ordi nance of Nature a signal that she requires the assistance of purgative medicine to ease her of tho oppressive burden, which she proves by the high fever and the strong pulse, is wanted to be removed. In other words, the body calls for a VEGETABLE CLEANSING. Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills require skill in their administration ; the printed direc tions only have to bo observed and they des cribe the just proportion of the dose to the magnitude of the disease to be cured. Let all persons read the following opinion of a gentleman who well knows the quality of these Pills : BRANDRETH'S PILLS. This medicine is acknowleged to be one of the most valuable ever discovered, as a Purifi er of the Blood and Fluids. It is superior to Sarsaparilla, whether as sudorific or alterative. It stands infinitely before all the preparations or combinations of Mercury. Its Purgative powers alone are of incalculable value ; for those Pills may be taken daily, FOR ANY PERIOD, and instead of weakening by the cathartic effect, they add strength, by taking away the cause of weakness. There is no good Mercury does, which these Pills do not likewise; but they have none of the miserable effects of that Deadly Specific. The TEETH aienot injured; the BONES and LIMBS are not paralyzed no; but in the stead of these dis tressing symptoms, new life and vigor is ani mate and evident -in every movement of the bo dy. BRANDRET'HS PILLS are indeed a Universal Rfjikdv for thev cure opposite dis eases ; they cure INFLAMMATORY and CHRONIC RHEUMATISM! They cure DIABETES and STRANGURY ! Thev cure DYSEENTARY and CONSTITUTIOOAL COSTIVENESS ! They will cure all these apparently opposite diseases, because they Cleanse and Porifv the Blood ; provided however, Nature is not beyond all Human As sistance. For years this medicine has been be fore the public in the United States ; wherev er it has been introduced, it has superseded all other remedies. DR.

CAUTION. Pcblic Opivion from whose decision there is no appeal, has been so often and so loudlv manifested in favor of BRANDRETH'S VEGETABLE U NIVERSAL PILLS, that it is not surprising there should be found in almost every city, town, and village in the United States, persons so depraved at heart, and so utterly devoid of the principal of moral rectitude, as to manufacture a spurious arti cle, and palm it ofTon the unsuspecting public as the genuine medicine, from the result of which so many happy results have been accrued to humani ty.

New Volume commenced wilh the May Number. TlIE Ladies' Companion, established in May, 1834 a popular and highly esteemed magazine of General Literature and the Fine Arts ; embellish with o-orgeous and costly engravings on steel,- and the Quarterly fashions ; and also with Fashiona ble and .popular Music, arranged for the Piano Forte, and Guitar. Since the publication of the number for Novem ber, the demand for the Ladies' Companion has been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine anticipations. At the commencement of the vol ume an additional number of copies were printed, which was considered at the time adequate to sa tisfy all the orders which might be received, and leave a considerable number on hand for subse quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified in stating that the whole of an edition of six thou sand, five hundred copies, was completely exhaus ted before tho issuing of the third number of the volume ; and, consequently, he was compelled to reprint a second edition of two thousand copies, making the circulation of the Ladies' Companion eight thousand five hundred, at the termination of the tenth volume In consequence of this great and unparalleled increase of new subscribers, he has determined to commence the new volume for the ensuing year with thirteen thousand : hoping that he will thus be enabled to supply all the de mands for tho Ladies' Companion, as well as those disappointed in commencing wilh the tenth vol ume. The proprietor feels grateful for that en couragement which has been so lavishly bestowed upon his magazine, and at the same time he begs to assure the readers of the Ladies' Companion, that it is determined resolution to meet it with a corresponding liberality to merit its continuance. The work appears in beautiful new type, printed on the finest paper ; smoothly pressed, and neatly stitched in a handsome cover. The Ladies' Companion contains a larger quan tity of reading than any other magazine issued in in this country, and its subscription price is only three dollars 'a year, while the great combination of talent secured for the coming year will render it unequalled by any other periodical. Splendid Steel Engravings, prepared by Mr. A. Dick, ornament the work one of which accompa nies each number. These plates are entirely new, and are engraved at a heavy expense by one of the best arstists in America, expressly for the maga zine. The designs are selected with a view of in teresting the general reader, and enhancing the value of the work, for its superior pictoral embel lishments. It is with pride the proprietor announ ces that the Ladies' Companion is the only maga zine published, in which new and elegant steel plates appear regularly. Those accompanying other monthly periodicals, are generally firstworn out in annuals. In addition to the engravings mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash ions for Ladiest will appear in the June, Septem ber, December, and March numbers, independent of the usual embellishment. It is the determina tion of the proprietor, that these fashion plates shall appear m a style hitherto unknown. It lite rary character will undergo no change, as it will remain under the charge of the same Editors a3 heretofore. Articles from the pens of the most distinguished writers, will appear in the forthconv ing numbers, among which may be enumerated the following: Mrs. Holland, Emma C. Embury, Lydia H. Sigoumcv, Frances S. Osgood, Ellet, Caroline Orne Seba Smith; Mrs. Hairing ton, Ann S. Stevens, Miss Hannah F. Gould, Ma ry Ann Browne, Charlotte Cushman, Mary Emily Jackson, Henry . Herbert, author ot 'Cromwell, &c. Professor J H Ingraham, author of ' Burton,' 'Capt.

Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, William W. Snowdan, Editors. Henry F. Harrington, ) The Musical Department of the Ladies' Compa nion has ever commanded a large share ol atten tion. and has been looked upon with no little in terest bv its readers, and more especially the La dies, whom the nublishcr is anxious to please. It will continue to be a subject of more than usua care to him, and to the Professor under whoso su pervision it is placed, to make that portion ot the magazine deserving of the countenance of every lover of music. Tac Work in General. Of every department an equally careful supervision will be strictly oxer cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expendi tures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the de sign of the publisher, with the aid ot his contnbu tors and the advice of his friends to make the La dies Companion distinguished for the beauty and accuracy of its typography, the variety and high tone of its literary articles, the quality and value of its music, and the unequal splendor ol its pic toral embellishments, and the accuracy of its quar- nunciation had ever been made, and public indig- j terly fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to nation never "been expressed. Since, however, this destructive evil still exists, and neither the fear of God, nor of earthly punish ment, can entirely put it down, it becomes my im perative duty again and again to caution the public against purchasing pills of a druggist, professing to.be Brandreth's Pills for as under no circum stances is any of this class made an Agent, it fol lows of course that the Pills sold at such places professing to be Brandreths Pills are universally base counterfeits, highly injurious to the health of the People. rCP Established Agents for the Genuine Bran dreth's Vegetable Universal Pills, are Invariably furnished with an engravod certificate, signed, JB. XSKAR'DKETH; OT. . in my own hand writing. This certificate is renewed every year and when over twelve months old, it no longer guarantees the genuineness of the medicine. It would be well, therefore for purchasers carefully to examine the certificate, the seal of which is neat ly embossed on the paper, in order at least that the safeguard of imposition may not at least be suscep tible oi imitation. B. BRANDRETH. M. D. IL7 Philadelphia Office for the sale of the above use all honorable means to maintain the superiori ty which the Ladies' Companion has obtained. For five years he has steadily pursued a course of improvement, and he flatters himself that his pre sent facilities are such as to give the work eminent advantages over ah other publications From the foregoing it will be perceived that the Ladies' Companion embraces every department within tho range of Belles-Lettres and the J? me' Arts: and no exertions or expense will be deemed too great to render the work equal to any other extant. I he flattering and general testimonials of nearly every contemporary journal in the United States, and in fact, many on the other side of the Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable claims of tho Ladies' Companion to the support of the public generally. There is no work that give its readers such a great return for their money. Terms Three Dollars a year in advance, or Foi r Dollars during the year. No subscription received for less than a year, Letters must be postpaid, otherwise the postagf is deducted, and credit given only for the balance. Address WM.
