“REV. C. L. WOODWORTH, D.D.—_My dear brother_: I take great pleasure in committing to your trust the inclosed pieces of money, ten pieces in all, each of them the value of ten kreutzers, making 100 kreutzers in all, or probably about half a dollar of our currency. It is the gift of a boy in Prague, Austria, whose name is Bohumil Burda. The name ‘Bohumil’ is the same in signification as the ordinary name Theophilus, that is to say, ‘a friend of God.’ This boy placed the money in my hands when Dr. Clark and I were at Prague, saying that he wished it to be given to the ‘black children of America.’ I give you the exact coins which he had laid up after the self-sacrifices of several months, in his warm spirit of Christian benevolence, and I commit them to you as a sacred trust, assured that you will know how to multiply them, and how to use them in such a way as will be not only for the interest of the black children of America, but for the awakening of their interest in the needy and the promising children of Bohemia. “With best wishes for the success of the Society which you now represent, I remain yours most fraternally, “E. K. ALDEN, Sec. A. B. C. F. M.” * * * * * BENEFACTIONS. Henry L. Kendall, of Providence, has bequeathed $1,500 to the Hampton Institute. Dr. Eliphalet Clark has left a bequest of $50,000 to the Kent’s Hill Methodist Seminary in Maine. An unknown contributor, of Massachusetts, has given $5,000 to Williams College to establish a physical gymnasium. Charles L. Colby has given $1,000,000 to establish a new university in Wisconsin. It was his father, Gardner Colby, who endowed the college which bears his name in Waterville, Me. The large liberality of Dr. Lucien C. Warner, of New York, will provide a building three stories high, and 150 feet by 120, for the Conservatory of Music at Oberlin. It is expected to cost from $30,000 to $50,000. Mr. and Mrs. Mills have just added $20,000 to their gifts to Mills Seminary, Oakland, Cal., and fifteen acres of land. Another gift of $5,000 has also been received, and one of $2,000 from Mrs. Wm. E. Dodge. The trustees of the estate of the late Frederick Marquand have given a subscription to the Elmira Female College of $25,000, on condition that an equal sum be raised by the friends of the college. The Canadian government has appropriated $44,000 for the establishment of Indian schools in the Northwest. Two schools are to be built with this money—one Protestant and one Catholic. Mr. Moody has recently received from a gentleman in Boston a gift of $50,000 for his school at Northfield, on condition that an additional $50,000 be raised. Several scholarships of $3,000 each have also been received lately.
