He makes a specialty of the administration of nitrous oxide gas in extracting teeth.

Seward Institute, Florida. This institute was formed by Judge Saml. S. Seward, and chartered under the state laws in 1846, as a boarding school for pupils of both sexes. The buildings are located on Main St., near the center of the village of Florida. There are two spacious buildings; the one on the west side of the street is occupied by the young ladies attending the institute, while that on the east side is devoted to the boys and young men. The course of study embraces the ordinary English branches, scientific, classics, together with music and drawing. The institute is situated about half a mile from the Florida depot of the Pine Island Branch of the Erie R. R., and is about sixty miles from New York. The principal is Rev. Henry A. Harlow, A. M., under whose management the schools have attained a marked degree of excellence. Among its patrons and supporters we mention the names of Rev. Augustus Seward D. D. of Middletown, Hon. Frederick W. Seward of Washington, D. C., Rev. Howard Crosby. D. D., Chancellor of the State of New York, with many more of the prominent men of the country, who thoroughly endorse this school. It is situated n a beautiful portion of the county, is in great measure secluded from the temptations that surround so many schools in cities, and offers musical advantages, for the education of the young.
Cornell Institute, Central Valley. Among the many private educational institutions that abound throughout the country, and one deserving especial mention, is the Cornell institute, located at Central Valley, about two minutes walk from that station on the "Short Cut,” and two miles from Turners on the Erie. Besides its educational advantages, the institute is situated among the finest scenery of the Highlands, unsurpassed by any found within a circuit of a hundred miles from New York. The location is healthful and surrounded by a fine farming community, an item not to be overlooked in selecting a school for the young. Mr. David Cornell, the principal of this flourishing school, has lately erected a fine spacious hall, for use as a class recitation room, thus affording better accommodations than formerly, and allowing room for more pupils. The course of study includes common and higher English, mathematics, modern languages and music. The school has been established upward of twelve years, and has won a reputation second to none in the country; its pupils come from all parts of the Union. We heartily indorse Cornell institute as a boarding school for both sexes.
