Location of the Vermont Free
viii Baptist Literary and
Theological Institution.

For year or two past, the Freewii Ban.
lists in Vermont have been making very
greet exerions to uise fund for the estab-
llshment, IN this State, Of Literary and
theological Institution SIMILAR TO that which
exists at New Hampton, n. H., under the
patronage of the same denomination. A fund
Of ten thousand dollars was aimed at,and this
amount was so nearly secured that it was de-.
termlned to 90 forward and erect the build
ing. The NOrth-East part Of the state be-
ing the stronghold OF that denomination, il
was OF once decided that in Caledonia Coun-
~ or It's immediate vicinity was the proper
place TO establish the Seminary. But in what
town to locate the building was more
difficult question, and, to aid in it's solution,
the committee Of several clergymen, to whom
1t was referred, invited proposals from the
several towns that might desire to be the
seat of the Institution.
The competition in this case was singu-
larry strong. Danvlle, Lyndon, Sutton,
Wheeock, and Barton were the towns in
which the most feeling seemed tu exist. -
Sutton, a iowa with population Of about
thousand and grand list OF little more than
$1,000, raised a subscription Of S7c77, to-
wards erecting the buildings, and perma-
nent fund of $500 for the support of the
school. Wheelock, a town of less than
600 inhabitants, made subscription of S..
ZIG. Barton subscribed $4,000 and offered
to merge in the new institution high school
already existing there, which had a perma.
nent fund OF $500, invested in productive
lands. The village and vicinity of North
Danvile pledged $1,000, and the village and
vicinity of Lyndon Center offered beautiful
site for tie buildings and cash subscription
ofnearly SuOOi. 81 eager was the competition
and 50 vigorously were The committee Piled
with arguments and solicitations, that It was
not I'LL after several sessions that they were
able to decide the case. The final hearing
was held last week, and the seminary was
located at Lyndon Center. This is not the |
principal village IN Lyndon, but is about
TWO miles North OF that and place of com.
paratively small Importance The establish. |
ment OF this Institution there will doubtless
have very favorable effect on the growth
of the place.-PhGnir.
