Sixth Anniversary
of the
Jerry Rescue.
To the Friends of Freedom of our Common Country:
Once more we call a general gathering in honor of the strike for Freedom, which forever annulled the Fugitive Slave Bill in Syracuse.
We invite the friends of freedom everywhere to come to Syracuse the 1st day of October next, to commemorate the rescue of the slave Jerry. The sixth anniversary of that bold and good deed recurs on that day, and may we not hope, from the course of events, that the sabbatical year of our country approaches?
One and all who acknowledge no law for slavery, or who will co-operate in any form to rescue every other slave from its lawless and murderous clutches, come up to our anniversary!
Hon. Gerrit Smith has consented to preside on the occasion, and the most distinguished orators, from different parts of the country, have been invited to attend and address the meeting.

☞The Michigan Yearly Meeting of the friends of Human Progress will convene at Battle Creek, commencing at half past 10 o’clock, on Saturday, the 10th of October, 1857, and continuing, by adjournment, for three days or more, as may be thought expedient.
This Association has no cherished creeds or theological opinions to promulgate or defend, but disclaiming all ecclesiastical authority, they ‘seek not uniformity of belief in theological affairs,’ ‘but cherishing and encouraging whatever tends to elevate, and condemning and discouraging whatever tends to degrade,’—they would meet on the broad and universal platform of the ‘Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man,’ fearing not for truth, so long as our platform is free,—and they invite the co-operation of all who recognize the equal rights and brotherhood of the human family, without regard to sex, color or condition, and who acknowledge the duty of illustrating their faith in God by lives of personal purity and deeds of practical righteousness.
We therefore invite all sincere seekers after truth, who may be attracted by the principles of our organization, and who, weary of the strifes and perplexities which bewilder and stupefy the popular sectarians of our day, are looking for a higher and more practical manifestation of the religious sentiment, to meet at the time and place above specified, and give the benefit of their counsel. Let us join our hearts and hands for a feast of love and good will, in order more effectually to combat the giant wrongs and errors of the age.

Palmer’s Artificial Leg.
Removal of the Springfield Establishment to Boston.
At the urgent solicitation of the most eminent Surgeons and Physicians of Boston and New-England, the manufacture of this unequalled American invention has been removed to Boston. The ‘Palmer Artifical Leg’ is without a rival either in Europe or America, and is now worn by nearly Three Thousand Persons! with astonishing success, upwards of two hundred of whom are ladies, and we have thirty individuals each walking upon two Artificial Legs. It so nearly resembles the natural leg, in appearance and action, that the nicest observation often fails to detect Art from Nature. The ‘Palmer Leg’ took the ‘Great Prize Medal’ at the World’s Fair in London, over thirty competitors from all parts of Europe. No other Artificial Leg is recommended by intelligent Surgeons and Physicians, as the ‘Palmer Leg’ is regarded as the ne plus ultra of Surgical Mechanism. They are very durable, yet light, the average weight being four pounds. They are applied to the shortest and tenderest stumps with entire success. The ‘Leg’ is finely ventilated. In this country, it has been exhibited thirty-five times, and in every instance, received the award of the highest or first premium! The patient is enabled to walk immediately upon its application, with remarkable ease, comfort and naturalness.

Eagleswood School,
Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
This School opens on the 1st of October, and closes on the 21st of July. The School consists of four quarters, of ten weeks each. There are three vacations—a week at Christmas, a week at the end of the third quarter, a from the close of the School year to the 1st of October.
The general design of this School is to combine the advantages of home nurture, in physical, mental, and moral training, with instruction in Literature, Science and Art.
The definite aim is to teach, first, the branches necessary for the prosecution of those general duties of life which none can escape; then the Sciences of Nature, Intellectual and Material; the usual Ancient and Modern Languages; History, Drawing, Painting and Music.
The intellectual and moral training and instruction of the pupils is conducted, and their out-of-school life, amusements and general behavior regulated by the Principal, assisted by competent teachers.
When the mind receives its appropriate nutriment, at the natural crises of its intellectual appetites, every artificial stimulus is a hindrance to true development. Such incentives, by exciting to unnatural action, not only defeat, in the end, their own object, but reäct, with distorting force, upon the whole mind and character.
Since there is in the constitution of the sexes a law of incessant reciprocal action, involving the highest weal of both, that public sentiment which restricts each sex to schools exclusive of the other, subverts the Divine order, and robs development of a ministration essential to its best conditions and highest results. In testimony to this truth, we institute our educational processes upon the basis of God’s model school, the family, and receive, as pupils, children and youth of both sexes.
The education of the sexes together, under a wise and watchful supervision, conduces eminently to simplicity, modesty, purity, and general elevation of character; quickens the perception of those nameless proprieties which adorn mutual relations; excites attention to personal habits; gives refinement of feeling, gentleness, grace and courtesy to manners, and symmetry to mental and moral development.
To provide for the children and youth, resorting hither for education, such conditions of development as may be conducive to their innocence and growth in virtue, is a sacred and paramount aim. It is adopted as an inflexible condition of admission to the School, that no pupil of vicious habits shall be received. Profaneness, impure language, indecent actions, reckless violence, impracticable tempers, or habits of any kind, tending directly to counteract the processes of nurture in others, will as effectually exclude their subject as an infectious disease. To such, and to those using tobacco in any form, or intoxicating drinks as a beverage, the doors of our school cannot be opened.
