few weeks since, to take into consideration | the subject of establishing new Theological 1 Seminary in this State. After mature Gehe- | ration it was unanimously resolved, that mea- | sOres be forthwith taken to establish TheO- 1 logical Seminary t0 be located at East Wind ] sur. A Board of twenty Trustees, consisting l of twelve Ciergymen aDd eight Iaymen, was created, and agents apponted to solicit dona- tions fDr founding the institution. A meeting of the Board of Trustees is tO be holden on the l6ihinst. for the appointment of Princi- pal and Professors. and tho Insiitution is to be opened for a acOnrse of Theological instruc- tion as soon as fund of twenty thousand dol lars can be raised for it's support about fif- teen hundred dollars of which was raised at the close of the meeting by the Clergymen present. From the little knOwledgewe have in gelatiOn to the prospects of the cOntemPla- ted Seminary, we are inclined tn think they are very 6attering. The location Is peculiar " favorable. No tnw nth New England af- lords greater advantaeSS and Facilities for an
 institution of this chaFaeter than East Wind sor. It is delightfully."- situated about mile from the bank of the river, on an confluence ofs moderate elevation, with soil rich and productive. an air pure and healthy, and in the midst of a wealthy and moral population. These ad. antages. together wiih it's retirement
 
 its facilities 0f intercourse with neighboring towns and states, both by land and water. ren- der it one of the most eligihle aud desirable locations for a public institution wiihia our knowledge.
 We understand. also. that it is to be in part upon the manual labor plan. with sufficient grounds for cultivation SD that such students as may bc disposed to defray their expenses by deyotiDg portion of their time to tabor, may have an opportunity. The utility of
 manual labor schools is becoming te he duly appreciated, and when their advantages over other schools, in the simple item of health,
 becomes generally known among students, we think they w'lt be selected in preference to our Colleges and Academies where health and even life, is frequently Iosf for want of proper ercse.-Hartford Rec.
