a visit to Ohio City and the reservoir, the
beauty of the sunsets on Lake Erie, which,
now 50 placid, when angry, losses staunch
ships upon its swelling bosom, and sends
many a hardy mariner to a watery grave,
or a trip up its waters by moonlight to
Detroit, would well repay the traveller for
staying a few days in the Forest City.
WESTERN RESERVE SEMINARY.-The fol-
lowing Annual Report has been received
from the President of the Board of Trustees
of the fourishing Seminary located at
Pennington. 1t will be of interest to all
interested in the cause of education
To the Bishop and Members Of the Erie An
nual Conference
Rev. and Dear Brethren-At the close of
another year of labor and success, we pre-
sent to you, as usial, a report of our condi-
tion and prospects.
The past year has been one Of more than
usual prosperity. The number of students
in attendance during the spring term was
larger than ever before in the history of the
institution, and its patronage is steadily in
creasing. II is painful to say, as we must,
that We have been obliged to turn away
perhaps a hundred students during the
year, for the want of boarding accommoda-
tons.
This state of things, while it reflects hon
or on the Seminary, as showing the estima-
ton in which it is held, and the benifcent
work it is doing, is sad, because It deprives
the school of resources which are essential
to its complete seccess.
1t thus appears how pressing is the want
of a boarding-hall, with some other i'm
provements, to make this institution what
it should be, in order TO meet the demands
of the people p%atronizing it.
It was to accomplish these objects that the
Executive Board asked last year, from the
Conference, a special agent, and we were
much gratified by the appointment of Rev.
C. L. Pattee TO this work. Although in
charge of the circuit also, he has labored
assiduously for the Seminary, and not with
out success.
As our people will make their centenary
offerings the next conference year, and as
the prospect is, therefore, much more pro-
missing for the coming year than
the past, we unanimously request
his disappointment. We also respectfully
ask for the appointment Of a visiting COM
mittee who can and will attend the exami-
nations. The year Just closed has been one
Of harmony in all the departments of the
school.
The Rev.J. NJ. Leonard, the accomplish
ed and scholarly principal, has been assist
ed by an able and faithful corps of teachers, |
and all the interests of the Institution have
been promoted by their efficient and cordial
cooperation. Under the administration of
Leonard, the course of study has been
enlarged and improved, SO that now our
Seminary will compare very favorably with
most Of the Western Colleges. 1t affords
unusual facilities in the languages especial
ly, and under the thorough instruction of
the principal, students who come here may
carry their studies to any point they chose, /
not stopping short OF n complete college
curriculum. We regret that his duties are
so pressing, his work so wearing, and that
that the funds Of the school will MT war
us, by employing a larger board of in
slTuCLlOOs " lesson MS l. DOIs- 4uhuhlul 4
for his past services, we earnestly request
his re-appointment as principal for the
year to come.
During the past year special attention
been given to music, painting and other
ornamental branches of a finished educa-
ion, but additional rooms are much needed
for our better accommodation in this de
partment. A generous liberality has mark
ed the conduct of the Semin ny from the
first, and is still characteristic of it. By the
generosity of the principal the children of
ministers, without regard to sect, have re-
ceived instruction gratuitously, and the
where this Seminary is have
their appreciation Of, and interest in
it, by their contributions in the years Of its
and now the ladies have initiated
N this region the centenary gifts Of this
memorable year. They have organized the

of the Erie Conference, in promotion
If the interests of the Seminary, aud though
here are no men oflarge wealth among us,
his association has already raised some

st purpose TO help ourselves according to
'ur means. May we not with propriety,
his centenary year, make one appeal TO all
he members of yeur venerable body, and
o all the friends of sanctifod learning {
throughout cur Conference bounds? May !
re not plead for generous and noble gifts to {
