Literary Institutions.— Dartmouth College, in the township of Hancner, is the only literary institution in this state which exercises the functions of a college. It derives its name from the Rt. Hon. William Legge, LL, D. F. R. S. Earl of Dartmouth, one of its early and principal benefactors. It was founded by Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, D. D. a pious and benevolent clergyman of Connecticut. It originated from the establishment of a school for the instruction of Indian youth at Stockbridge, Mass. to which the name of ' Moor's School' was given, from Mr. Joshua Moor, of Mansfield, Conn, whose liberal donations justly entitled it to receive hi& name. After this school had been in operation a

Manners and Customs. — The habits of the people of this state are similar to those of New-England generally. Descendants principally of the same ancestors, they inherit alike the same feelings and traits of character; andmaj be distinguished from inhabitants of other sections of our vast country, by their hardihood in danger and patience in suffering, as well as by their sobriety and hospitality. It is, perhaps, fortunate for our country, that its settlers were from England, and that religious persecution laid the foundation of our empire and liberties. Had we been colonies of France or Spain, the lands would have been divided between the nobles and ecclesiastics ; and the very soil we tread upon, like the island of Montreal, might have been the property of a convent — and we the slaves of its inmates. The firmness of spirit which braved the terrors of Indian warfare, and afterwards, of the revolution — still exists and animates our countrymen ; and among all classes, you will observe that their chiefest pride and boast is their independence. Among the vir- tues of the people, industry and frugality are conspicuous. Though few are very vealthy, all are comfortable, and a greater portion in easy cir- cumstances. The doors of the citizen are never closed against the de- cent looking traveller ; nor are the wretched often left to suffer. No man ever perished here for want of food or raiment. Public and private charities are every where bestowed : the number of charitable institu- tions, and the amount annually distributed by them, are by no means dis- proportioned to the wealth of the state. Whatever opinion the foreign- er may form from the roughness of our exterior, which, like that of our country, is certainly apparent ; he will find hospitality to inhabit every dwelling, from the mansions of the rich, to the scattered cottages among our mountains.*
