accession of Students to the several De-
partmcnts of the University. Twice or
thrice the present number can then be &C.
commodated.
Lewisburg and vicinity have supplied
over cnc.third of the Students of the In
s,i.u,ion. Railway facilities are constant
ly making the place more easy Of access.
Our location is central and healthy our
population, moral. The University was
designed, not simply for this immediate
neishborhood, but for THE BAPrIsTs
OF PENNSYLVANIA LAS a DENOMINATION"
Your Committee would suggest, whether
there is not lack of appreciation, on the
par; of the denomination, in many church
es throughout the State. of the benefits
and necessities of a more thorough educa-
ton of their sons and daughters. The
number aud wealth of the Baptists of this
large Commonwealth are sufficient to fur
nish Students, not By scores but by hun.
drejs. Is there not a necessity for a
deeper realization of the Importance and
the advantages Of more thorough culture
of our rising youth I? Let our Pastors,
our Deacons, the Parents and the Friends
of the denomination in other parts Of the
State, ponder we'll the thought we have
thrown out for examination.
At the present sessions of your Boards,
Rev. D. B. Cheney aud Rev. Henry Day
of Philada., and Rev. 7. b. Marr OF
Lewisburg, have been chosen Members OF
the Board of Curators, to fill vacancies.
The Board of Trustees have chosen Jos-P
Tustin of Northumberland, Rev. Henry
Day of Philad., and Abraham Shellenber-
ger of Rochester, Beaver Co., to fill the
vacancies in that body.
Commenting the University to the in
creased patronage of the favored Valley
in which it is located, aud of the Denomi-
nation for which it was chartered, we sub
nit our annual report, in behalf Of the
Board, to public consideration and ask
the blessing of Him who guides and con-
trolls all events, upon our beloved Institu'
,ion. o. N. WORDEN.

Bonneville is a little, modest looking
wooden village, situated in Twin town

surrounded by one of the richest and mos
picturesque farming districts that it ha
been my fortune to see since left home
and very nearly comes up to Buffalo Val

levels of that staple, surrounding the vii
lage, which appear to the eye at some place
to have no termination or boundary, bu
stretch far away until the bright greer
looks like a hazy velvet carpet gradually
losing itself in the distance. The vale.
is watered by Paint creek, and by one o
its tributaries, Twin creek, "a very meel
una.suming little stream by the way tha

and discharges itself into bOisterous Pain
