Baptist State Convention.

The Denomination i'm the state-The Educational Interests-Recruitsfo for the Mtnistry-Financia1 Work and NIission- ary Work. 1 At the meeting of the executive committee of the Connecticut Baptist Education society at Ansonia Tuesday evening, Rev. MT Miner, of New Britain, the secretary, made his re- port, which was in reference to the theolog- ical students of the denomination. For the 1 10 at Sufield Literary Institute the society l assumes $1, POO of the expense. Four appli- ! cations to prepare for the ministry were re- | ceived last year. They will probably be ac- cepted. Previous to the reassembing of the con- vention yesterday prayer meeting was held in the. church, led by Rev. Mr. Smith of l Wallingford. The society assembled at 10 and adopted tho secretary's report after dis eussing some of the points submitted.
 l Then followed the address of Dr. Herr, l and touching upon the same subject-s'The Work of the Society and it's Aims'-an ad. l dress was made by F. S. Brown, of Hartford. ! Principal M. H. Smith, of the Sufield Lit l erary Institute, made his annual report as 1 to the condition of the institute. There are 1oG pupils, one-half of whom are ladies' and Al of the pupils regular boarders, gain of 20 from two years ago. Of those in school fifty one are studying Latin, sixty nine mathematics and twenty five physiology. The yearly expenses of the institute are about SIS, GOO. Three large and commodious school buildings are on the ground which is all the property of the ! school The last new building erected l in 1872. The number of pupils from out of town is sixty, which is just double the mum oh two years age .h The ment of the school is the systematized manner in which the studies are now ar ranged. They have teachers for nearly every ! special study, which IS in strong contrast with the system that was in vogue two years ! ago, when one of the teachers would take charge of several special studies. The school | expenses are met by an endowment fund I which amounts to nearly $35,OO0 This ] amount, in view of the fact that there is such ! 8 constant advancement made in the nunber l of new studies introduced and the l yearly increase in the number of pu- pills, the principal does not think suff l cient, and he has been appointed an agent ! by the society t. labor for an increase of the ! endowment fund from $35, ,OOO to $1OO. 900. i The prospects for the increase to $1OO, ,OOO \ are very encouraging. Judge York, of New 1 Haven is president of the alumni of the Lit erary institute. Several spoke in reference l to the Institute and then the society ad ' I year.
