 Infirmary. This InjSrrnarv , under the same roof with 

 the College, is at all times well filled with Medical 

 and Surgical cases, and furnishes peculiar facilities 

 for Clinical instruction. 



Many Surgical Operations are performed in the pre- 

 sence of the class, and the Students being daily ad- 

 mitted to the wards, enjoy, under the guidance of the 

 Professors, unusual opportunities lor becoming fami- 

 liar, not only with the symptoms and diagnosis of dis- 

 ease, but with its daily progress and treatment. 

 Amount of Fees for Lectures, $105 00

A Desirable Stock, Dairy, and Vegetable 

 Earm for Sale. 



Intending to change my location, I will offer 

 at auction on WEDNESDAY, the 15th of July next, 

 my beautiful residence and desirable farm, known as 

 " CLOVERDALE." It is situated in the County of 

 Chesterfield, about 2± miles from Petersburg, and con- 

 tains 200 ACRES, divided as follows : Five fields of 

 25 acn s each, arable land, with a stream of water 

 running through all. Seventy-two are in original 

 heavy pine timber,and three in garden, yard and lawn. 



The Dwelling is new, built of the best materials, 

 contains six rooms, and is surrounded by a beautiful 

 grove of Oaks. There is an ice. and all other neces- 

 sary outhouses, and a well of superior w&ter in the 

 yard. The soil is suited to all kinds of grain, and as 

 a Dairy, Fruit and Vegetable Farm, it is unsurpassed, 

 being within a short distance of the Petersburg Mar- 

 ket, where the demand for such articles is far greater 

 than the supply. For the breeding of improved stock, 

 it also possesses great advantages I have realized 

 over $1,200 during the past year from stock raised upon 

 the place. The neighborhood is healthy, and the so- 

 ciety desirable. 



Terms — One-half cash, the remainder in three an- 

 nual instalments, with interest from dav of sale.

 per now published. $2 a year; $1 lor half a year, 

 and, "just to try it," only 25 cents for three months. 

 Inclose the amount, and' direct to FOWLER AND 

 WELLS, New York. 



The Savannah Democrat says : " We regard i' as 

 one of the very best weekly papers in the world." 



The Alabama Beacon says : "If there is one news- 

 paper within our knowledge which we can safely re- 

 commend to the general reader, it is Life Illustrated. 

 It has served up weekly an amount of reading matter 

 which you seldom get for the price, which is neither 

 too light nor too serious, but is at once logical, litera 

 ry, and life like ; pungent, practical, and progressive : 

 enlivening, eloquent, and ennobling. In short, it 

 seems to be the object of Life Illustrated to spread 

 sunshine, happiness, and useful information every- 

 where. Try it. july — 3t
