T he purity and whiteness of skin which the 
use of Gouraud’s Italian Medicated Soap produces is sur¬ 
passingly beautiful. Not a vestige of tan, freckles, sallowness, 
sunburn, pimples, frowsiness, roughness, chaps, chafes, or 
other cutaneous disfigurements can be seen upon the skin 
which is frequently washed with this marvellous compound. 
The purest alabaster could scarcely rival in whiteness, smooth¬ 
ness and transparency the complexion which has been beau¬ 
tified by this delicious soap. It is, moreover, delicious for 
shaving. Gouraud’s Hair Restorative, or Circassian Gloss, 
not only possesses the wonderful power of imparting to wiry 
hair a rich silkiness and superb gloss, but it also restores the 
hair to places whence it has fallen off. Trial Bottles, 25 cents 
each. Gouraud’s Liquid Rouge gives to pale lips and cheeks a 
rosiness so permanent that it cannot be removed by the most 
violent rubbing. Gouraud’s Poudre Subtile is warranted to 
uproot hair from low foreheads or any part of the body. Gou¬ 
raud’s Liquid Hair Dye will instantaneously change red, gray 
or white hair to a beautiful brown or black, without staining 
the skin. Gouraud’s Lily White is much prized by ladies for 
flushed, rough skins. 
Caution—The genuine preparations of Dr.FELIX GOURAUD 
are only to be had at 67 Walker street, first store from (not in)

SCHOOLS. 
M EW-YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.—THIS 
Institution was chartered by the Legislature of the 
State of New-York, for the purpose of presenting to agricul¬ 
turists the means for acquiring a knowledge of the arts and 
sciences appropriate to their vocation; to prepare students 
for practical, active labor, by training the mind in a system 
which shall inculcate an intimate acquaintance with the sci¬ 
ences essential to agricultural success. To insure the deve¬ 
lopment of principles and their application to the soil, the 
Legislature has required tiie purchase of not less than three 
hundred acres of land. 
The Trustees, having accepted the trust confided to them 
by the Legislature, organized the State Agricultural College 
by the following appointments: 
John Delafield, President of the College. 
Hon John A. King, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. 
Joel W. Bacon. Secretary. 
N. B. Kidder, Treasurer. 
At a meeting of tiie Board, on the 4tli of June, a Report was 
presented by B. IVJohnson, from a Special Committee on the 
Location ol the College, declaring " that, after an exami¬ 
nation of the Oaklands Farm, in Seneca County, they are 
entirely satisfied that the price asked for it is its fair value 
in the market for farming purposes; that it is, by previous 
preparation, by position, and variety of soil, in every respect 
adapted to the objects of the Institution; that tiie title is 
perfect; and recommend that the chain of title be entered at 
large on the minutes of the Board,” Ac. This farm is situated 
midwaybetween the market towns of Waterloo and Geneva, 
in full view of Seneca Lake,' and overlooking the village 
of Geneva. Elevated about one hundred and five feet 
above tiie lake, it is free from causes disturbing health. Its 
soil varies from a strong clay to a sandy loam, presenting va¬ 
rieties sufficient for testing by experiment every doubtful 
question in relation to soils, and to exhibit the most approved 
system of cultivation. 
The Trustees are prepared to receive, from farmers and 
friends of agriculture, proposals for the Capital Stock of the 
Institution, which will be distributed in shares of fifty dollars 
each, payable 10 per cent, on subscribing, 40 per cent, on 1st 
of July. 50 per cent, on 1st October. 
The Trustees may be addressed (post-paid) at their respective 
residences, as follows: 
Hon. John A. King, Jamaica, Queens County: Henry Wager. 
Westernville, Oneida County; B. P. Johnson, Agricultural 
Rooms, Albany; Wm. Kelly, Rhinebeck. Dutchess County; N 
B. Kidder, Geneva, Ontario County; Joel W. Bacon. Water¬ 
loo, Seneca County; Tallmadge Delafield, Geneva, Ontario 
County; Wm. Buel, Rochester, Monroe County; John Dela 
field, Oaklands, Seneca County. 
The officers of the College will endeavor to present subscrip 
tion books in each County, that the College, so entirely agri 
cultural and peculiarly the farmer’s institution, may find its 
support widely diffused throughout the State. 
Tiie President will, upon application to him, give all need¬ 
ful information in relation to the ordinances, rules, and regu¬ 
lations of the College, and.the course of instruction to be pur¬ 
sued.
