New Manual Labor Institute. ner-

Nev Manual Labor Institute. We per-
celve by an article in the Cattaraugus
Wing, that the Baptist Education Society
are founding a Manual Labor Institute, TO
be located at Hinsdale, in that county on a
large and liberal scale. The plan, as sta
ted by the agent, the Rev. M. FAY, is to
establish school in which an education
may be obtained from the English rudi-
ments, TO the most polite literature and
abstruse sciences. Manual labor to the ex-
tent of four hours per day, will be strictly
required both from Professors and Students,
either IN the workshops or on the farm
The capital to be employed in erecting the
Academy and College buildings and the
workshops, buying and improving a farm,
furnishing a library and an extensive
scientific apparatus, is two hundred ,hou~
sand dollars-making it one of the most
munficiently endowed institutions in the
| Union.
To accomplish the object, the Society, it
is stated, has pledged its faith for the sum;
but the agent is endeavoring to raise it by
sabscription-having collected some $780,
GOO in cash in Canada; and about $40, 600
in cash subscriptions, in New-EngIand and
| New-Jersey. The citizens Of HinsGale
have subscribed about $l2, 900, and labors
ofthe agent have been quite successful
elsewhere in the country.
Professor RANKIN, of New-Jersey, it is
mentioned, it is to be placed at the head of
Of the institution. Buffalo Com.

To the Public,

u The subscribers deem it proper to announce
to the public that the I" Garland of the West and
Wisconsin Monthly Magazine" heretofore pub
lshed by Edward Young Esq, has passed into their
hands The first number under the new arrange
ment, will make its appearance near the close of
February, and thereafter regularly on the 18th of
every succeeding month"; until the close of the vol
ume.
Instead of "a pages each number hereafter will
contain but l6-the amount of reading matter,
however, will not be lessened, as it is intended TO
increase the size Of the pages a sufficient extent
to make up for the decrease in the number. 1t will
be published in form similar to that of the New
World.
The title of the publication will be simply " The
Wisconsin Monthly Magazine" and is character
will be somew hat changed. In addition to lite
rary articles of the lighter kind, which shall be of
the best character, unless the taste and judgment of
the publishers be at fault,-a portion, and probably
the larger portion of the Magazine will be taken up
with matters oil weightier and more useful kind ),
relating to education, morals, science, and whatev-
else may tend to instruct and improve As
something OF departure from the original plan of
the work is contemplated, and as, in consequence,
the publication may not hereafter be quite so ac-
ceptable to many of its subscribers who relish no.
thing but light reading, 1t may be proper to ntl-
mate that they who wish to discontinue will be
considered at liberty TO do So notwithstanding their
subscription may have been for full year, with this
condition, however, that the six months which have
elapsed, be previously paid for.
The publishers will be pleased to receive con-
trlbuuons from any and every part of the territory
upon all topics, Interesting and useful, whether OF
a general or local character. The grand object is
to promote public intelligence and morals; and he
who by the of his pen, is disposed engage in
an enterprise of this kind, will find the columns OF
the Magazine at all times open for his contributions
will find here a medium through which his
thoughts and reflections NAV be commuEica ted. If
they who have literary talent do not find in the
noble character of the object suggested an adequate
motive for its exercise, the publishers must fail to
present a sufficient inducement in the premises
Correspondents will please address their COM
munlcatons to the Wisconsin Monthly Maya.
