We copy from circular recently issued,
the following:
The Vermont Conference Seminary and Fe-
male College is located at Montpelier, on
Seminary Hill. about one hundred and fifty
rods from the railroad depot. The situation
is well chosen, and the view in all directions
is delightful The Trustees own about thirty
acres OF land, excellent for Seminary purposes
and pleasant for family residences. The ad-
iacent lands. owned by other parties, offer
desirable homes for those who are looking for
a quiet life Just outside Of a busy village.
Here is good opportunity to establish
community, noted for morality, refinement
and religion, in close proximity TO a Seminary,
which, it is intended. shall have no superior

six churches 1t is accessible several times

stage roads leading in all directions

mostly to the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and was established for the children and
youth of that Church, still its doors are open
to ALL and all its pupils shall receive the same
