not damaged, will be taken back, if desired, at the close of 

 the term, at a reduction of twenty-five per cent, on the 

 first cost. With ordinary care, when the apparatus is re- 

 turned, the, cost of it per term will not exceed eight dollars. 



Incidental Expenses. A slight incidental expense will be 

 incurred for light, broom, towels, pitcher, wash basin, &c., 

 in all not exceeding five dollars per. annum. 



Economy. As it is desirable to impress upon Students the 

 necessity of forming habits of economy, parents are ad-

 who will see that it is not spent improperly.

 summer clothing. 



Although not indispensable, some delicate Students have 

 found an advantage in bringing with them a thick com-

 opening of College, or near its close.

 Penn's Valley, in which it is situated, and which, at this 

 point, is about ten miles wide. On the northwest, at a 

 distance of about six miles, is seen the long range of the 

 Bald Eagle Mountains, and beyond these the smoky sum- 

 mits of the Alleghenies. In the opposite . direction, at an 

 equal distance, are seen the rolling ridges of the Seven 

 Mountains; while to the southwest, as far as the eye can
