 rection, at the distance of about three miles, Nittany Moun-

 buildings. 



The school may be reached by students or visitors, 



1st. By the Pennsylvania Rail Road to Spruce Creek, 

 Lewistown or Tyrone. From Spruce Creek a stage leaves 

 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, passing the school 

 for Bellefonte, and returning on the intermediate days. 



Daily stages from Lewistown and Tyrone run to Belle- 

 fonte, which latter place is accessible to the school by the 

 Spruce Creek stage, or by livery accommodation. 



2d. By the Sunbury and Erie Railroad to Lock Haven,

 can come to Bellefonte from either the Pennsylvania Cen-
