THE late Rev. Dr. Lockwood, of Andover, in Connecticut, who died a few years past, at the Pool in New Lebanon, State of New-York, in his last will and testament, left a legacy to Yale College, the place of his education, to the amount of between three and four hundred pounds, the interest of which is to be annually applied to making additions to the College Library.—
A very laudable and judicious instance of beneficence! The same gentleman, two or three years since, made a donation of one hundred pounds upon condition that other friends of literature would augment the subscription to three hundred pounds, for the purpose of procuring an additional philosophical apparatus for that College; which was accordingly done. Such benefactors of literary institutions deserve the gratitude of the public.
