The beautiful, bright Bay Horse
H E C TO R,
WILL Cover this Seafen,at the Stable of the fubferiber,
till the 25th of May instant, when for the benefitof
Nov-Hartford, and its vicinity, he will be removed to the
fubferibers well Farm, in the occupation of Mr. William
Shattuck, in said New-Hartford. Very little need be said
in praise of this Horse, he is well known, was imported
from England when but two years old, finer Colts were
never got by any Sire, and he is remarkably sure as well as
handsome. The price for one fihglc Leap is only Nine
Shillings, and only Three dollarstbc Season as above, and
Four Dollars to insure a Colt; the price set thus low to ch
courap propagating this breed as much as pcffible, as the
Horse will go out of this State this filmmcr. Good paltur

HAVING observed repeated intimations by
Parnassus that the Reverend President is
not treated by the Corporation, with the defer
ence and refpe&due to his character and Ration;
and that he is of different, or more liberal senti
ments with refpe& to the government of College,
&c. could wish you to insert in ycur next, the
following short extracts from a letter of the Re
verend President, to a friend in this Rate, dated
Aprilg. The publifhingofwhich withouthis par^
ticulafknowledge,! doubtnothe will excufe,from
the circumstances of the case—aster mentioning
Parnaflus's performance as " a malevolent attack
upon rale-College," &c. he adds, " I am ready to
declare publicly,as well as privately,th at ever since
I entered the Body [the Corporation]! have been
treated by them with far, vety far greater honor
and refpe&, than I have deserved, and to that
degree that 1 have often felt rayfelf ashamed at
the great deference and refpe& they have shewn
me ; I have more reason to fear that I have failed
at times, in that decent return of refpe&, which-
I always wish to pay so venerable a Body, at the
head of such an illustrious institution." And
again " Were matters thoroughly enquired into,
I doubt not it would appear, that however ob
noxious ecclesiastics are to fomeof the gentlemen
of the civil order, yet all will be fatisfied, that
the affairs of Yale-College, have been conducted
in general, with a very few exceptions, by the
Corporation, with a wisdom and success, far be
yond the administration of any College in the
United States." There needs no comment.
PAX & VERITAS.
OBSERVATIONS upon £^4Rt&SSVS continued.
THE grand thing aimed at by Parnassus seems
to be the wrerting the government of Col
lege out of the hands of the Clergy, by adding
some of other Profeffions. In answer so which I
would observe that fads are the foundation of
reason.
I have not the advantage of records; but by
the catalogue, the College hath flood, within a
fewmonths, eighty five years. It was founded
upon that Roch which yvill never fail those that
put their trust in him. In all this time it hath
'Rood the attack of party-spirit, difap: ointment,
envy and malice. And what have they found?
They have thrown a great deal of dirt; but none
hath cleaved to the Corporation, although, as
hath been well expressed, they have left no kennel
unraked tofoid matter.
Parnassus assumes a degree of modesty, and
dareth not bring a direct charge against the Cor
poration, but suggests that the addition of other
men would add wisdom, &c. &c. Let us in
quire—hath any other body of men held out fa
long (without any, or with less, err®r) and made
so glorious a figure? Pamaffus seems to be con
cerned for other branches than the ministry.
Let us confider whether there is cause. Hath
any College in America, or, in the world, pro
duced more learning from less revenue. Have
not men from this school filled the chair, suppli
ed the ^c/j and the bar, with characters second
to none in the whole world. Had fortune sup
plied the means this would have appeared more
conspicuous. I lay it down as inconteftible fa&,
that a religions education is the best foundation
for any butmefs whatever^ Observe their num
bers in this Commonwealth, from rale-College, in
a variety of employments, are pillars in the Com
monwealtb.
Now, Parnafas lay your hand Upon your
heart and fay, was a son cf yours to have an edu^
cation at Yale-College, would you wish him to
have the advantage of a Lawyer, or a Doßor, as
such, to teach him; or chufe his studies, in the
course of those four years which are usually spent
there. Have not they an intercourse with the
ballapce of deceit, that may be more likely, to
effect their morals than the wbrk of the ministry?
As men, they are as good as other men; but
doth not evil communication corrupt good man
ners? Leave not a certainty for an uncertainty :
to this, theory must fubferibe.
I am, &c.
