Healdsburgh College.

By Editor

IN order to carry on the necessary improvements in Healdsburgh successfully, it will be necessary to incorporate the College; and in order to do this it will be necessary to have a certain amount of stock subscribed, and a certain percentage thereof paid in. Quite a number pledged liberally at the last camp-meeting, but as very little has been paid on those pledges, they are not yet available for the purpose of incorporation. What will the friends of the enterprise do about this matter?

The hope expressed last week has been realized. A sister has furnished sufficient money to warrant us to commence the erection of a commodious boarding-house. A well will be dug, and a windmill and tank put up immediately, as a necessary part of the work. By the liberality of the same sister a piano has been shipped to the College, which will prove very acceptable.

The College ought to be incorporated immediately. Until it is, the building and boarding-house lot must be held as private property, as there is no legal body of trustees to hold them. We urge the friends to assist in the work now, so that there need be no delay in making the necessary improvements. The boarding-house ought to be finished before the rains fall; but in order to this move means will be required.

The U. S. Post-office Department spells Healdsburgh with a final h, and money orders must be made out to the name so spelled. We shall accordingly adopt this method in using the name hereafter.
