Thomas J. Conant, D. D., formerly Professor of the Hebrew Language and Literature in Madison University, N. Y., and more recently in Rochester Theological Seminary, has purchased a residence in Brooklyn, and is about removing from Rochester to that city. Dr. Conant is at the head of the corps of scholars employed by the American Bible Union, and, with Dr. Hackett, formerly of the Newton Theological Institution, will superintend the final revisions of the Sacred Scriptures put forth by that Society. His reputation as a Hebrew Scholar, says the Evening Post, is of the highest, and is attested by the general use made of his works in the colleges and theological schools of this country and England. The translation of the Book of Job, recently published by the Union, was from his hands.
