 rpiIIE lafn Jn(J};o Mud. in one of his la.-*t piiljlic aiMre.ssi's, in 

 JL spo.iUin? of iigricnltiiral scliools, says, "1 preleiul not to 'liii 

 si)iiit of propticcy, yet t venture to preilict, tliat many who now 

 hi>ar mo will livo to see piofpssional schools of ufricultnre estalj- 

 lisheil in our liiid — to see their utility extollt^d, and to be iudncr(l 

 to con.-idor tlw^ni the best nurserios for roimblican virtues, ami tlir 

 suri'st L'uarantv for tlie perpetuity of our libei ties. They should b( 

 establislK^d— will be established — and the soouer they are establish- 

 ed, the better for onr country." 



The undersigned, being satisfifd of the great public utility of 

 such institutions, and feelinjr an earnest desire for their early intro- 

 duction into nnr state, have, in order to meet what nov/ seems to be 

 a decided public sentiment in their favor, and call or their estab- 

 lishment, resolved to open such a school, and have already made ar- 

 rangements therefor. 



The Farm upon which the Institute is located is situated in and 

 directly ndjoiningr the beautiful village of Aurora, on the east bank 

 nf Cayuga Lake, iu Cayuga County, sixtee«r miles from Auburn, 

 and twelve miles from <>ayuga Bridge and the Auburn and Roches- 

 ter Railroad. The communication is direct '.vilh Auburn by stage, 

 and with the Railroad by steamboat, in summer. The farm contains 

 iil2 acres, in.a good state of cultivation. The soil is various; fruit 

 abundant ; buildings are good — part nearly new — and very pb'.asant- 

 ly situateil. The location is considered one of the most desirable o( 

 the inauj' beautiful sitaations on the borders of the Lake, command- 

 ing an extensive and varied prospect of its waters and tlie surround- 

 ing country — and altogether admirably adapted t<> the end in view. 



It is the itilention of the undersigned that this Institution shall af- 

 fard ev'TV ficilitv for ooung men to make themselves thoroughly ac- 

 quainted with tlie principles of agricultural science, and their judi- 

 cious application to practical husbandry ; and particularly to afford 

 youug men from our large towns th«i most favorable opportunity for 

 preparing themselves for agricultural pursuits. It is also their pur- 

 pose to some extent to test, by actual experiment, the correctness of 

 principles in agriculture now received, but not yet well established, 

 and report the same to the public. 



The young men will be received Into the family of the Principal, 

 and be kept umler his immediate and constant sui')ervision. Parti- 

 cular re^rard will be had for their moral culture, and a strict observ- 

 ance of all rules and regulations required. 



Terms, SloO a year, payable qnarterly, in advance. 



No pupils under fourteen years of age will bo received. Applica- 

 tions for admission may be made to the principal, from whom any 

 further information may, on request, l>c obtained.

SALE of FULL-BLOODED NOiiSlAN HOKSES 



THE Subscriber having relinquished farniing, will offer at public 

 vendue, at his farm in Moorestown, Rurlington County, Nejv 

 Jersey, nine miles from Pliiladelphia, on Tuesday the 28l/i of May 

 next, his entire stock of Norman Horses ; consisting of two im- 

 ported Stallions. ' Diligence" and "Buonaparte;" two imported 

 Mares ; two full-blooded Fillies, three and four years old ; two Fil 

 lies by Diligence, from a half-blood Canadian mare, three and four 

 years old ; lud one Filly four years old, by Diligence, from a well- 

 bred Engli>h mare, broke and kind to harness. 



The undersigned deems it unne<'essary to speak at large of the 

 quality of these horses, $n much having been said of this particular 

 importation, (which is believed to be the only one ever made to the 

 United Slates,) in all t'le principal agricultural papers. In a few 

 words, they are the Canadian Horse on a larger scale, combining 

 tne form, activity, and hardihood of that ttell-knoion race with 

 greater size and strength. " Diligence" has been a remarkably suc- 

 cessful stallion ; he has been exhibited at the Fairs of the Penn- 

 sylvania and New Y"ork Agricultural Societies, where he was not 

 entitled to compete for the premiums, but received the highest 

 eneomiums from the coinmitlces. At the F.iir of the American In- 

 stitute, in New Y'ork city, in October last, he received the silver 

 medal of the institule. 



Tt is expected that a large nvrnber of the Colts of Diligence loill 

 he on the ground on the day of sale, same of which, no doubt, may 

 he purchased.
