Exercise.—The Journal contains a "Plan of Exercise in the Theological Seminary at Andover." It is a regular system of mechanical labor. Twenty-five students, some months ago, voluntarily united, and placed themselves under the obligation of a written constitution. They obtained a professed mechanic to devote his whole time to the business of the work-shop, as superintendent and agent building it up with the necessary apparatus—and the association divided into two companies, each division laboring half an hour before meals every day except Saturday when they labor but twice note tardiness and absence. The work is laid out disposes of the articles manufactured. the result has thus far been highly satisfactory. The health and spirits of the students have been benefited, and after deducting all expenses; a balance of $118 is in the Treasury. The Trustees have authorized the erection of a building for their accommodation, at an expense not exceeding $2000.
