Bazar, 25 per cent. lower than eke
where, and all that is required to convince the
community that the "ELEPHANT" is the
place for cheap and good goods, is for them to
call, when an examination will satisfy them
that money can be saved by patronizing this es

THIS nourishing institution is situated in 'Nal
-1 carom Valley, Juniata county, Pa., eight mites
south-west of Miillintown, and sax miles front the
Perryville station on the Penn'a. Railroad: •
It has been in successful operation for more tham
twelve years, and is believed to be equal to any
Actulemy in the State in affording facilities to
young men for acquiring a thorough academical
education, either for business or for college. lie-
ing situated in a very pleasant neighborhood in
the country, the pupils are removed from thoso
temptations to idleness, dissipation and vice, which
are the bane of similar institutions in town; and
the whole surrounding vicinity will vie with any
place in the State for healthfulness, and for the
hiyh tone of morality pervading the community.
The buildings, recently, have been greatly im
proved, and are orge, appropriate and commodi
ous, constructed according to the latest and most
approved models of school architecture ; and are
believed to combine all the essential requisites for
the advantage and convenience of both learnerand
teacher. Pupils from a distance are required to
board in the Academy with the Principals; but It
it is desired by the parents, good boarding may be
obtained in the neighborhood.

otherwise seven per cent. on the whole bill for the

The Principals have both been constantly enga
ged in teaching, for upwards of twelve years, And

their own scholarship and ability, and also of the
thoroughness, esteem and accuracy of their mod° of
teacbtr,,, , , They will both give their exclusive and
undivided attention to their pupils, and will also Do
assisted by othet competent instructors; and they
therefore hope to enjoy the confidence of the pub
