Special Notice about " Washing Day" 
The proprietors of tho Noiipuroll wnslilns Ma- 
chine take pleasure In making known that they have 
effected an improvement In tho Machine, by which tho 
labor formerly required to work it Is lessened about one- 
half. 
The Nonpareil Is now In use, more or less extensively, 
In all the loyal states. It has during the three years of 
Its existence steadily advanced In public favor, and eu- 
Urely by the force of Us superior merit ; for the proprie- 
tors have carefully abstained from puffing It into notice. 
A practical eye will readily perceive that the Nonpareil 
Is constructed on strictly mechanical principles ; and that 
in the crank and balance wheel arc secured tho only 
means by which sperd and power can bo obtained with 
comparatively little labor. When to these advantages 
;ire a>lded the strength of material and careful work- 
manship which enter into the construction of the Non- 
I .mil, Iho manufacturers believe they present a Washing 
Machine that will be found In every respect satisfactory 
lo tho purchaser. Sec advertisement and Illustration on

Fort Edward Institute. 
Sl'-S for Spring term, or, $1:38 per year for Board, 
room i u i -ii isii; ;tl, (except carpet,) fuel, and wash- 
ing, with Tuition In the common English branches. 
For Ladies, carpets and extra furniture are provided for 
S3 per term extra, or a total charge of M :: 1 per year. 
Situation on the bank of the Hudson River, In the flour- 
ishing village of Fort Edward, Washington Co,, N. Y., acces- 
sible by Saratoga and Whitehall R. R.— distant 17 miles from 
Saratoga Springs. There arc four church services In the vil- 
lage— Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Episcopalian. 
For nine years the best sustained Boarding Seminary in the 
State, the following arc bohic of the claims of this Institute: 
I.— Its extensive, substantial, and commodious brick bnlld- 
lngs, the si/cable and convenient rooms for Btudents, and the 
admirable arrangements for the two separate departments. 
II.— Its full and competent Faculty, In the various depart- 
ments of study, both solid and ornamental, and the corres- 
ponding extensive programme of studies pro- 
vided every Term, from which the student may select- 
constituting the Institute, In a practical and very important 
sense, a real PEOPLE'S COLLEGE. Thus: 1. At 
this Institute a good class is always preparing for Union 
or Yale College, or for the Weslcyau University. 2. Here all 
the approved appliances of the best modern Commercial 
College arc In successful use. and a large class graduates 
each term. 3. There Is provided here a superior course 
of LIBERAL STUDIES, classical, scientific and or- 
namental; and a choice ECLECTIC COURSE for pro- 
ficients In Painting and Music. These courses attract con- 
stantly, and from a wide district, young Indies of the best 
capacities. As a LADIES' COLLEGE this Institute 
la believed to be unsurpassed either aB to its facilities, or 
the number, character, or the culture of Its graduates, by 
the most expensive or most pretentious Exclusive Female 
Colleges. From these liberal courses, young men are not 
excluded, hence very many choose Fort Edward Institute 
as the best available place of fitting for the duties of busi- 
ness and professional life. Not a few are attracted by tho 
rare facilities the Institute affords for culture In original 
composition and oratory. To the advantages offered by four 
permanent Literary Societies, and the constant stimulus of 
good and critical audiences, Is added each term the Judi- 
cious award of valuable prizes. 
HI.— An important feature of the Institute is Its outspoken 
religious character. The Principal— a Methodist 
Clergyman— stands pledged to the Christian Public, in addi- 
tion to the daily Chapel service In which the religious cle- 
ment in all is recognized and appealed to, that the approved 
means of grace will be sj-stcmatlcally employed to bring to 
Christ such irreligious students as can be Induced voluntari- 
ly to attend upon them. A proscrlptive or a proselyting sec- 
tarianism is neither practised nor permitted. Students rep- 
resenting the various evangelical communions are made to 
feel that they are thoroughly equal in all the privileges of the 
Institute, and are distinctly advised in their choiceof a place 
of Sabbath worship— so far as practicable— to respect the 
denominational preference of their family. 
rV.— The average maturity of It3 students, and the broad 
National character of its patronage, a majority of the 
loyal States, and the Canadas, being represented every 
year on Its register. 
V.— The unity of its administration, the governmental and 
financial head of the establishment having been unchanged 
from the opening, the accumulated facilities and experi- 
ence of a series of years are thus made available to the 
present patrons of the Institute. 
VI.— The remarkably low charges for Board and Tuition, 
In comparison with quality of the advantages afforded, and 
with other respectable Boarding Seminaries. 
The Spring Term begins March 21th, and ends June 23d. 
Good students admitted at any time, and charged propor- 
tionally to close of term.
