priety, as better suited to the province OF tbe
Bectarlan pulpit.
Our Baptist friends, we learn ure making COM
nendable progress with their enterprise, in the
way of securing the "sinews of war" Subscrip.
ton papers have been circulated the past week,
with fair degree of success The amount,
which it is very desirable TO carry up to $1,000
or $4,000, has reached as we are informed, some
$l,7OU or 81 800. The favor with which the
movement has thus far been met, though graft
fyiug aud encouraging to those who have taken
in haud the laboring Jar, aud commendabe 10
the hberulity OF citizens, should not lead 10 any
Aaggng or relaxation OF effort, until suIiicen-
cy shall have been pledged, for the erection OF
u building that shall not only prove an orna-
inent TO the village, but by its attractlveness,
lend an influence in adding strength, and building
up out OF the present feeble elements, healthful
and flourshiDg church 10 narrow, mere Secta-
rian notious, should be suffered to stand in the
way of giving with manly aud liberal hand.
Success cannot crown the movement, without
coulerring advantages upon the community at
large, especially us the plan contempIates re-
moval Of the old building from the green, and
thus relieving that beautiful spot Of its present
unsightly incumbrance, and the devoting Of The
whole inclosure to its Legitimate aud proper
use. We understand that the society offer the
bdiding and the ground, some quarter Of an
acre, for the sum Of 81 600, the building to be
converted into aud used for school purposes.
For this it is well located aud tho converting
process could be easily and cheaply carried out
We know not that this price is eXorbitant We
thuk it will hardly be considered 50 on mature
dehberation. Ii thus used, il will meet al end
OF pressing Importance The small school houses
now occupied as school rooms are totally unfit
for the purpose for which they are now used
and must very soon give place 10 something
better. Tue health OF the children require more
commodous, more lofty, aud better ventilated
rooms No parent with 1.-THE of common
sense, aud natural feeling for his offspring, will
suffer them to be crowded so or 50 into a Z by 9
room. some or 8 feet between joints and a
heated stove in their midst, and no adequate
means of ventilation longer than is required by
imperious recessty.
Our earnest hope is, that these enterprises
may go on together with the appreciation and
hearty cooperation of the community.
DISAPPOINTMENT We had hoped, during the
winter to have listened to lecture from the
Rev. n. p. BaMY, Of PainesvilIe, on chosen
subject The Dignity of Labor aud had init
natp n hnt aOta hot
gentleman the present week, informs us that
"both Church physicians prohibit further pub
lie speaking on hls part for at least year ol
fifteen months" Mr.. B, is aboring under an af
fection Of the throat, which has already depriv-
ed his people of his pulpitabors for some
months.
The Trustees OF the Panesve Female Semi
nary at a recent meeting, determined to OpeI
that institution in September next. This is 8
gratifying fact, considering the difficulties that
have lain in the way of bringing the enterprise
up to this point Of completion and success, and
further considering the future influence and
worth of such an institution in giving mora
aud intellectual tone to the character, more es
pecially, of northern Ohio, but like its great
prototype, Mt. HoIyoke Seminary, shedding itS
benign influence, not only over this broad land
but penetrating many Of the dark distant cor
ners OF heathendom.
THE HEARrH SroNE-This is a new candi
date for public favor, making its advent with thC
new year 1t seems to defy competition il
price, and IN the excellence and useful nature o
the articles spread over its pages, it is not sur
passed. AS its name indicates, il is a household
domestic institution.
