another place spoken of which presents so
many Inducements to command its location.
But, as, wherever this College is es tablish.
there will be of course n large accession of
population and q co sequent heavy in
crease of trade, the Convention has very
wisely determined that the location shall
not be made at any place unless the citizens
agree TO erect the necessary buildings and
ppurtenaces to start the school, Twenty
five thousand dollars is named as the
amount necessary for this purpose, and it
is required of our citizens, if they will have
this important institution located among
them, that they raise that sum. 1t can be
done very easily by united effort Of all
our citizens, not alone of the town, but Of
the county, at large, for the benefits accru-
ing will be realized not only by the town
but by all the surrounding country. we
are somewhat OF an enthusiast on TINS SUD-

country most needs, with these will come

calties fully sustain us in this assertion,
and we hope to see the matter taken hold
of by our citizens in earnest, and pushed
forward to success. We are informed that
there are several gentlemen in this place
who have already expressed their willing
ness to donate thousand dollars each
they arc satisfied that this will be money
well spent and we concur in the opinion.
1t will be seen by the proceedings of the
Convention, that the matter of location
