Reasons which are well known and appreciated a I the

we have no relationship, and never had business connec¬ 
tion or acquaintance of any kind wiialevcr with a person

We do not wisli sub.soribers to pay for ouii maps before 
receiving them. 
Editors who feel called upon to notice him, as many 
have of late, will do us only justice liy inserting after his 
name “ (not H. H. Lloyd & Co., 21 Joi^ St., N. Y.)”

YOUNG MEN AND MEN OP 
MIDDLE AGE WANTED. 
By an arrangement witli gentlemen at Washington, and 
through agencies established in different cities, I am now 
prepared to furnish lucrative and honorable situations 
for every young man, or man of middle age, who com¬ 
pletes, (in a thorougli, satisfactory manner,) the course of 
ACTUAL BUSINESS TRAINING at Eastman Nation¬ 
al Business College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. But a small 
portion of those who graduate desire the assistance of the 
College in this matter, and the demand for Spring and 
Summer business is greater than the supply. The great 
preference exhibited by the business community for those 
who qualify at this Institution, is owing to the fact of 
their being so tiioroughly drilled in ACTUAL BUSI 
NESS OPERATIONS. It is this tliat lias given tlie 
College such wide spread reputation, and placed it so far 
in advance of all the Commercial or Business Schools. 
Reference is given to two hundred graduates now in the 
Government Departments at Washington, more than four 
hundred in banks, offices, and mercantile establishments 
in the city of New-York, and to Merchants, Book-keep¬ 
ers, Accountants, Salesmen, Telegraph Operators, and 
Business Men in the different Cities, who have been 
PRACTICALLY educated here. Associations of the 
graduates have been formed in Boston, Wasliington, 
Chicago, Philadelphia, New-York, and other cities. The 
entire expense of the Course, Including Board, Tuition 
Fee, and incidentals, is from $80 to $90. Applicants are 
admitted at any time. Full particulars m.ay be had by
