REPORT:
ihe hrst act required from the Board at thAir
present meeting, was that Of providing for the va
cancy an the Recorship, occasioned by loss which
clothed the whole land in mourninp AMI ,yb;ch E,.
fallen with peculiar force on the institution COM
mitted TO their care To that lamented event The
Board cannot refer, without feeling that some Fri.
butte Is due on their part, to the memory of mn,
triot and sage, so distinguished by his ysrou. .ra
invaluable services to his country; and SO eminent
ly entitled TO manifestations OF grateful aff.c,;nn
nom every portion of its citizens. After dscbarg-
ing with Zeal which never abaied, and with abil-
ties which commanded universal admiration. all
the labours imposed by a series of most important
public trusts, he did not cease in his retirement
from them, to cherish that love of country and os
Liberty, which had been the ruling principle of his
life. Reflec'ing more particularly on the great
truth, that as no people can be happy, but with
Tree Government, so no government, can long be
ree, without knowledge for its conservative ele-
ment he determined to close his ilustrious career
oy devotins the resources Of his genius, and his
vast requirements to the erection of this monument
TO Science and liberty; indulging to the last hour
OF his protracted existence, the gratifying conf
dence, that under the auspices of the State. to
which 1t was dedicated, it would more than reoav
whatever might be done for it, by the lights il
would diffuse, and the characters it would rear FIR
the service and the ornament of the Republic.
With an origin propitious, and the continued
patronage OF the Stale, the Board are encouraged
to expect that no part OF the promised blessioys
will be disappointed, in the progress of the Uni
versity 10 its destined usefulness

Or trips in muslin, in winters night
On cold sleigh rde-.o distant ball.

And threads the busy needle, or applies
The scissors TO the torn on thread-bare sleeve;

Kindness and tender care and cheering hope,

high terms of Swaims Panacea. He remarked that he

almost every remedy commonly employed for its cure
with very little if any effect, but who, after using the
Panacea, recovered quickly and entirely He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
to robust health from state of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated salvatons
had produced only the mischief incident to the use of
mercury. He spoke likewise of Mr. Swain, personal
", acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
IN the distribution of his medicine the poor and in
the support of whole families until cure was ef
fected. The Professor mentioned that he had been
cens,red by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend

which he owed to suffering humanity not to withhold
