Northfield's Pride-A FlOurishipg Institu-
ton of Learning--The New Ladies' Hal
Erected at the Cost of $4,000. Two
Hundred and Fifty Students Now En-
rolled.
1t is pleasing to know that Carlton col
lege, at Mortified is in a fourishing and
prosperous condition. It enlists the SYM
pathy, and enjoys the patronage of a
large constituency. Under the charge of
it's able President, the Rev. Dr.. Strong, as
sisted by a learned, every way competent
and devoted faculty, the progress of the
institution is upward and onward. Yet it
still needs the fostering care and support
of the many friends whose hopes are SO
largely conferred in it. 1t is young insti-
tuition. and has to struggle, as all such in
situations must in new country. Such an
institution can but be benefcent in its in
fuence, in cult1vating the minds, and es-
tablishing the morals of hundreds of
young people who are about
to enter upon the struggles and RESPONSE
bilities of life. Fortunate it is for the
youth of a comparatively new country,
who are unable to go abroad to acquire an
education, that they can avsil themselves
of the valuable advantages of an institu-
ton like this, near their own homes.
Northfield is well chosen as the seat of
this institution of learning. 1t is thriv-
ing and fourishing village on the Cannon
river, and enjoys a large, extensive and
constantly increasing business. Its
streets are wide, its residences pleasant
and attractive, and everything wears the
appearance of substantial thrift and
prosperity. 1t is blessed with an intelli-
gent and moral population, and its nu-
merous church edifces indicate high re-
ligious culture. The college buildings
are beautifully situated on an area of
some twenty-fv acres. The buildings are
substantial and in good architectural taste,
well arranged and comfortably equipped
for the purposes to which they are devoted.
But more buildings, and larger equip
mepts must be had, and doubtless will
soon be had, as the results of large-heart-
ed munifcence, under the influence, en-
larged enterprise and religious zeal, fer
vor and devotion in the cause of educa-
ton. The Ladies' hall recently completed
at a cost of some seventy thousand dol
lars, is noble structure. 1t is indeed one

is an ornament to the college campus,
and all its surroundings are very beauti-
ful, and the sweep of country viewed from
its windows most charming. Its
interior arrangements are most complete;
its looms are pleasant and airy, and neatly
kept; and every sanitary consideration
duly observed. 1t has capacity for &C.
commodating some one hundred young la
dies, and at this time its rooms are all occu-
pied. 1t has reception rooms, parlors,
recitation rooms, and large and spacious
dining hall, and altogether makes beau
tiful home for its pupils, all of whom are
under the most careful, and genial family
regimen. The lady teachers are accom-
plished, intelligent and highly educated,
and faithfully devoted to their task. The
college has at this time, of both sexes,
about two hundred and fifty students,
affording to ali superior advantages for all
the higher grades of education. What an
incidentally beneficial influence must go
forth from such an Institution, for the ele-
walton of the rising generation. and how
worthy are such institutions of the support
and encouragement of the public.
