nouncements. We'll 10 all ue can to
us ''IIotcl arrivals,'' but they are stale
and flat compared to these. S. NJ. D.
We hope the Post, as we'll as all other
papers, will adopt the ADVANCE fea-
ture of ''minor arrivals" Why should
we publish marriage and death notices
and neglect births. Is there any event
in a family Of more interest than the
usllering of new being into the world.
We cannot inform Mrs Sally Maria
DeYbcrry why it is that there are so
many minor arrivals in the National
Colony, but we can say that the fertility
of this country extends in all directions.
The climate is invigorating and vitaliz-
ing, and if Eastern people want health,
land, children, and ultimate wealth, we
advise them by all means to come to the
National Colony.
The following account OF the Worth
ington Seminary, we clip from The Git
izen, the new religious paper published
at St. Paul and Minneapolis
WOR1HINGTON SEMINARY
The establishments Of classical schools
and seminaries, where the youth of our
country may acquire broad and liber-
pOrtance to the great and growing
West. Even as the population }ncreas
es, and the resources of the country are
developed, there should be founded
Summaries, academies and colleges,
thereby TO further the: intellectual ;ld-
vancement Of the people. In accold-
ance with the demand for such schools,
Worthiugton Seminary was founded in
November, 1873, by Rev. b. Ii. Creyer,
of Central Pennsylvania, q gentleman
Of ripe experience as all educator, lav-
ing founded, in years past, one of the
most successful of eastern seminaries.
In the beginning of the enterprise, Mr..
Creyer associated with him Prof. Chas.
L. Dunning, of Delaware, a young man
Of considerable experience as 4 teacher
and q graduate OF Dickinson College,
PENNSYLVANIA. Prof. ID. brought with
him heart devoted to his work, and
entered with Zest upon the duties as
signed him, and in the absence Of the
Principal, Mr.. Crever, is i'll charge of
the seminary.
Though laborirg under many disad-
yantages in the outset, yet the success
attending the establishment Of the SEM
mary far exceeded the expectations and
hopes IF it's most sanguine friends
The Board Of Inspection embraces
experience, ability and Christian ddcli-
ty in al unusual degree and no efforts
are withheld by the teachers in striving
to advance the mental development Of
those who may be under their instruc-
ton.
The department Of Natural Science
is under supervision of Prof. II. +.
IIumiston, one Of the founders of the
National Colony, who had charge of
the studies in that department for
many years at Cleveland Institute,
Ohio. Advantages are afforded in this
department above many seminaries
which have been Ill operation for years.
Through the kindness Of Prof. II. the
seminary possesses q fine cabinet of
philosophical and chemical apparatus, to
which more will be added as soon as
cases are prepared for their reception.
The classical and mathematical de-
partmcntS are in charge of Prof. Dun
ming, who proposes to make them all
that can he desired in every respect.
The best and most modern works will
be used, so that all the enlightenment
poss bic will he thrown upon the all
cient lore.
English, modern languages, ethics
and music are in the hands Of cXper-
fenced teachers, who are enthusiastic
in their work.
Though under the control of the NJ,
E. Church, it is denominations in no
ObjectiOnal sense. The instruction will
be thorough in every respect, and be-
lieving that the cultivation Of mind
and heart should he mutual accompa-
niments, it is, and shall be the con-
slant aim of the faculty to iMpresss re-
ligious truths upon the hearts of the
students. The Curriculum will embrace
such studies as shall thoroughly pre-
pare the student for the Freshman tr
Sophomore class Of the best colleges, at
the option OF the student, and will ex-
tend through Il period of three years.
An important phase in the location of
the seminary, is the temperance fea-
ture. Here no liquors are to he had,
and the Young man is safe from the al
lurements and temptations of an at
tractive bar. This great bane to soci-
ely and humanity is removed, and pa
rents can send then boys hitler with
out any danger from this prolific source
OF evil: The community is noted for
its culture and intelligence as we'll as
general morality. In this respect it is
equal to and far i'll advance Of most
older towns. The climate is salubrious
and conducive to health, SO that Willie
pursuing literary course, Il strong
and vigorous physique may he acquir-
ed.
The disadvantages incident to the
commencement OF such an enterprise
will be removed with the expiration of
the present school year, 50 that we
shall enter upon the next school wear
with greater facilities. and be abls to
accomplish more satisfactory results,
It is the intention and determination
Of the faculty to present every advan-
tage as far us possible, which can lie

same grade, and to this end every ener-
