 J. J. CLUTE, Principal. 

 Tompkinsville, May 11, 3w. 



What may be the meaning of the " 3w " at the end is more or 

 less puzzling; but it probably indicates that the advertisement 

 was to appear in each issue of the paper for three weeks. 



Later in his life Mr. Clute was better known as the compiler 

 of the Annals of Staten Island, published in 1877, ^^'^ generally 

 known as Clute's History of Staten Island.
