In word, it is a paradise of » Place—a city of rural palaces and temples of learning. It is situated on the beantiful banks of the Hason, and is justly celebrated for the weird and plotabebans grindser of river and mountain scenery, the classic reminiscences of its revolu- tionary history, for its famous schools, colleges ani ladies’ seminaries and the high character of its citizens, ve Mt would be difficult to find a more desirable It is within six hours’ ride of five of the most prominent States of the Union, and is easy of access from all parts of the United States and Canada, by railway and river.

In conclusion, T would suggest that young men who desire to succeed in life, whether they be MERCHANTS, FARMERS, PROFESSIONAL MEN OR MECHANICS, cannot afford tg lose the advantages @f this school. PARENTS AND GUARDIANS should be interested in this system of praptical bu- siness instruction. Here your boys are taught that which they will use when they become men, and the whole course is taken up in such an in- teresting manner that the student never fails to apply himself with an energy satisfactory to teach- er and parent. Th x , I will add that the student is aleo tagght the Graces of Polite Learning and Belles Lettres Literature, and that the physical and moral wel- fare of the student are watched ever with parental care and solicitude.

New Barra, Conn. H. G. faerwan, eq.— Mr Daan Sin—I hve felt a great interest in the character and success of your admirable School of Business. At each visit m my impression of ite happy adaptation to the wants of the Present day was atrengthened and deepened. Indeed, no instita’ tion could be more American—more characteriatic of the improvements of the age. The practical education imparted ia 80 ample, varied and atilita: rian that any young man who takes’s fair and hon- est advantage of it must be fitted for any depart- ment of business which he may choose for life, whether he become a merchant, banker, manufac- turer or farmer. To gain thus in a few months ‘f #. B. OSBORN. THE IMPORTANCE OF A PRACTICAL BUSt- NESS EDUCATION Ts now fully conceded, for in thie ago of the world onty educated labor is sure of success. That the nation grows more practical as it grows in prosperity is seen ‘end acknowledged; and that it requires men practically educnted—educated for business and the times—to meet its demands, is apparent te evory observer of human nature. Henry Clay was nover more trathful than whon he said;—‘Young man, qualify yourself for business, — ‘The professions are fall and the age’ demands it, establishment of this Business College ten years since, founded on the great motto of Agesilaus, “Teach your boys that which they will practice when they become men,” And the energies of ite founder have wince been devoted to perfecting © course of study adapted to the lavge class of yoang men who desire to be educated for the practical busines duties and employmente of life—ittetruct- ing them in those branches that the present day seems to demand, conducting the entire operations in the most interesting and practical manner pos- sible. THE INSTITUTION hae continaed to grow in faver until it is now second to no other college of learning in this country in point of usefalness and prosperity. It has ever ranked as the firet Business Behool in the “Union; and that ita practical plan of operation has now placed it far in advance of all Commercial or Mercantile volleges inthe world an examination will prove, SS oe ‘The superiority it claims over other institutions of a similar character is in the new mode of in- struction, combining theory and practice, by means of certain counting room, banking house, office and actual “business operations, de- soribed and copyrighted by law to the college, and in use in no other. It was pre- sented to the world two years ago, with the fail belief that it would stand the most Z rigid examjna- tion; and that it has been a gratifying success is fully substantiated by the testimony in recent re- ports from some of the best educatore and busi- ness men of the country, who have witnessed the operations of teachers arid pupils, as well as from graduates who, through ite benefits, have risen above the trammels of want, and are filling lwra- tive and honorable positions. The system of practical instruction is founded on principles #0 simple i and self-evident, that it requires only an examination to be admitted and understood; and a personal examination of the institution, in all ite appointments, is sufficient to thoronghly demonstrate the practicability of the system, . OF THE COURSH OF INSTRUCTION AND GENERAL FLAN OF OPRRATION, A8 CONDUCTED ON THE LONDON CORN EXCHANGE PRINCIPLE. ‘ ‘The pupil is first instructed in the elements of Penmanship, Bookkeeping, Accounts, Businces Forms, Letter Writing and Bosiness Arithmetic. The time occupied in the preparatory is usually four weeks, depending altogether on his previous attainments and natural capacity. There are rega- lar Professors and Daily Recitation#™in the Aca- demic Branches. He is then Mpigned his official desk in the Business ‘Department, and farnished with a capital consisting of Cash, Real Ketate, Merchandise and St corresponding with the business in which he is first to engage, and opens books accordingly. He receives his Bank and Check Books at the Bank, and from the Stationer his Blank forms of Drafts, Notes,~ Manifeste, Bills of Lading, Inéurance Policies, Letters of Credit, Deeds, "Bonds, Mortgages, —_Rail- road Reports, Summary Statements, Abstracts, Powers of Attorney, Articles of Copartner- ship, Assignment, ke., &e., and then commences business operations, buys a and sells merchandise, he., ports and forwards goods, purchases and ips goods on his own and real estate, stocks, & Joint account, gets insured and makes out insurance policfes, makes regular deposits at the bank, gives and receives checks, receipts, orders, notes, drafts, bills of exchanges, acceptances, account salen, re- ceives and manages estates, holds correspondence with different firms, and individuals through the Post offices. sends and receives telegraph mes- sages, computes all interest and calculations con- nected with his transactions, and finally halances his books weekly. eh From this he becomes Merchant in the Union Store, and then, in regular turn, Freight Agent, Insurance Agent, Forwarder, Grain Dealer, Im- porting Merchant, Commission Merchant, with one or two and three partners, Auctioneer, Exchange Broker, Jobber, Real Estate Agent or Operator, Steamboat Owner, Shippet, Consignee, Railroad and Steamehip Agent, Postmaster, Manufacturer, Nureeryman, and finally as Banker, when the pre- eoribed Business Course is completed. ‘Tus Cotsen BAxKs, two in number, are actual Banks of Deposit, Discount and Circulation, as complete in every appointment as regular Char- tered @y Institutions, prowded with their own Billa, Specie, Checks, Notes, Bills of Exchange, &c., furnished with full sets of book, and the bu- siness done with as “much acouracy and dexterity as im the flourishing Temples of Mammon in the Metropolis.

All lettere are oriticixed as they pass through the offices, and those containing errors are corrected ‘and sent back to the writer, to be recopied before being forwarded.

The Freight Office, Insurance and Exchange Of- fiee, Pxpreas Office and office of Notary Public, with the other departments, are all complete in themselves, apd an actual business is done with each. In the Railroading and Freight Department spear different roads and thirty stations are repre- sented. An Auction Sale takes place.once a week, when sales of Real Estate, Stocks, Dry Gogls and Gro- ceries are made. ' Students act as anctioneers, clerks and purchasers.
