Permanently located on the east bank of the Hudson, a little above Riverdale, at a point where the river concentrates its most forcible claims to its beautiful appellation, "The Rhine of America." Hourly trains to and from New York, starting either from the Thirtieth Street Depot or the Grand Central, render access easy. The situation is healthy and elevated, containing a continuous view of magnificent scenery.

The grounds immediately pertaining to the Institution number sixty-three acres, a large portion of which is tastefully laid out and thrown open to the pupils. At the suggestion of several eminent physicians, and their assurance that every advantage enjoyed at regular sea-bathing resorts could be found in this locality, a convenient bathing-house has been erected.

The Academy building, in the Byzantine style, possessing great architectural beauty, is one of the largest educational structures in the United States. The tower rises two hundred and ninety feet above water level, affording fine opportunities for astronomical observation.

By its charter, the Academy enjoys all the rights and privileges of the first collegiate institutions in the State. The course of study embraces the various branches of a solid and useful education.

The services of distinguished Professors are secured in the musical departments for those who prefer masters. Lectures are delivered by an able Professor, who has philosophical and chemical apparatus at his command. Calisthenics and Dancing are also taught by Professors. A fine Library of selected works, embracing a range of varied literature, is at the command of the pupils. The entire "Arnold collection" of minerals, donated to the Institution July 4th, 1872, by Dr. EDMUND S. F. ARNOLD, its munificent friend, has so enriched and extended the cabinet that it is now one of the finest and most valuable in the United States.

The correspondence of the pupils is under the supervision of the Mother Superior. Parents may rest assured that every attention, consistent with the spirit of a firm but mild government, is paid to the comfort of the young ladies placed at the Institution. No undue influence is exercised over the religious opinions of non-Catholic pupils; however, for the maintenance of order, all are required to conform to the external discipline of the Academy.

CHAMBERLAIN INSTITUTE, Randolph, N. Y.,

Dropping the usual language of

advertisements we invite attention to a few plain facts concerning this Institution. It is a large and thoroughly equipped Seminary for both sexes. Established in 1850. Property free from debt, $103,000. Sufficient endowment to give students all the conveniences of a pleasant home and the instruction of competent teachers at a moderate cost. New Boarding Hall, with steam heat, etc., erected in 1873 at a cost of $45,000. Excellent board and home-like arrangements throughout. The Principal and other teachers board with the students, and give especial attention to their health, comfort, manners, and morals.

Located on the A. & G. W. R. R.

A New Departure is now Proposed.

Being convinced that hundreds of our young people are prevented from attending school by the stringency of the times, we have decided to reduce the expenses to rates which could not be afforded, were the Institution not endowed, and did we not expect that a large number would avail themselves of these favorable terms.

(From Bayard Taylor, the Poet, Cedarcroft, Kennett Square, July 22a, 1870.)

I take great pleasure in recommending to parents the Academy of Mr. Swithin C. Shortlidge. I have had an opportunity for several years past of observing the manner in which the Academy is conducted, as well as the deportment of the pupils who attend it, and am satisfied that nothing is neglected which can further both the intellectual and moral development of the latter.
