T'IiE AGRICULTURAL AssocrAT on
The advertisement Of this Association, al-
luded TO in our last will be found III an
other column. Some apology should, per-
haps, be offered for the summary classii'-
cation Of articles to be exhibited at the
Fair, as SGT forth in this notice. But the
fact that the Association is In Its infancy,
and the enterprise new toa majority OF
even the active members, will sufficiently
explain any little defects of this nature.
It is hoped that tho language OF the ad-
dress Of the Association, in this particular,
will be kept in mind; and that every me-
chanic and artizan in the State, rs well rs
every a~ericulturalist, will come forward
with the choicest specimens Of their handy
work and skill. The invitation is TO ALL.
The field of competition is wide, and let
none suppose because his profession is not
Iarticularized, that the product of his ln-
dustry will be excluded.
We observe that some of our friends
| haze mistaken the annual meeting de-
sirnated in the constitution, for the annual
Fair. We hasten to correct this error, as
il is an important one. The time Of hold
ing the Fair (second Monday in Nosem-
bcr,) was decided upon in the meeting that
adoptcd the constitution while the annual
meeting Of Tho Association for the election
of officers, and other business, such Us
drafting its reports, adopting new measures,
e,c.. was named ia the constitution itself.
First Monday in Decembcr.) 1t may be
we'll to notice at this time, u suggestion by
Mr.. Smith Of tho Csncordia Intel|igcncer,
Ito whom, by The way, the Association il
ander Obligations for the ready aud efficient
aid he has extended it, that some amend.
ments may be made 10 the constitution ut
the annual meeting. In this suggestion,
we believe, MIR. s. will be generally sup.
ported. 1t is not pretended that things have
been perfected in the beginning. Many
improvements are expected, and it is hoped
that mr.. Smith, and gentlemen of intel'l.
genco from every section Of the Slate, will
BIO present to propose and carry them
through. An election Of officers of the
Association for tho ensuing year, will be
held at hat time.

TnE CANAL BANK.-An anonymous
hand.bill relative to the losses of this bank
has been circulated in the city and has
reached us here. 1t represents the bank
as insolvent, having lost about Sl 100000
by recent frauds. Mr.. Chew, the cashier,
says the handbill is unworthy Of notice,
and that the losses OF the bank will not
surpass 100000. This we consider
enough ; and although we cannot accept
the anonymous handful as authority, We
think it merits nearly as much faith as the
representation of Mr.. Chew. The fact
that the bank refused TO show her books
bsfore a court of inquiry, affords strong
grounds 10 suspect her soundaess.

demijohns had probably burst with the
heat, andtheir inhammable contents taking
fire instantly, communicating to every part
of the boat, which, having been freshly
vanished, caught as if it had been gum
powder.
Not a paper nor an article of any kind
was saved. Of course it is impossible to
give a complete list of those on board. Of
cabin passengers, Capt. Titus thinks there
were between thirty and forty, of whom
ten or twelve were ladies. In the steerage
were about 40 passengers, nearly all of
! whom were Swiss and German immigrants.
They were mostly in families, with the
usual proportion of men, women and chill
dren. The heart bleeds at the very
thought.
1t is a singular coincidence that the
Erie was burned at almost ideRtically the
same spot where the Washington was
burned in June, 1888. Capt. Brown, who
commanded the Washington at that time,
happened to be on board the Clinton, and
was very active in saving the survivors OF
the Eric.
The loss of property by the Erie was
heavy. She had on board the first large
invoice of merchandise shipped for the up.
per lakes. Some twenty tons, worth al
least $40, coo. The immigrants had also
a large amount Of specie, not far from
$4,000 and the boat herself must have
cost all of $4,000, making in all a little
short of s3O0,DUO loss.

MIR. Knight says, the disposition to give
much and rich milk, and to fattcn RAPIDLY.
are to some extent at variance with each 9TH
err but have seen cases in which cows
which have given great deal of rich milk
have given birth to most excellent oxen, the
cows themselves, however,always continuing
small and thin whilst giving milk.
| very confidently believe in the possibil-
W of obtaining breed ofcows which would
afford fine oxen, and would themselves fat
ten well but as great mixers require much
more food than others, the farmer who rears
oxen, does not think much, perhaps not
enough, abontmilk, and is in the habit, (Which
is certainly wrong)of breeding his bulls from
cows Which have become his best, owing on
ly to their having been bad mixers.
In the selection of bulls, besides attend
ing to those properties which belong to that
male, we ought to be careful, also, that
they are descended from breed of good
mixers, at least If we wish the future stock
to possess this property.

prospect. From the wrecks of human pride
that lay before us, the eye turned to the blast
cd surface of the desert, looming away in the
distance, til it seemed to mingle with the
horizon-a broad, tracklcss, ilimitablc waste
of sand, upon which not a shrub or plant was
to be sccn-silent, as at creations dawn--its
mysterious depths beyond the ken of civilized

dercd travellers, and inhabited only by the
Normadic tribes who 90 and come none
know wther or whence. There is sometl-
ing awful in the silent gloom and dcsolaton
of the desert 1t brings the Imagination

the earth lay naked and savage, ere yet
it had been beautifcd by the changes of the
seasons and the elements, or ere its primpval
solitude had been broken by the voice of an
mated being. / stood gazing upon the wild
cxpanse before me, lost in that dreamy MUS
ing which its vagucncss was calculated to ex-
cite. Not an object was in sight except a
caravan, with its long string of camels, wind
ing its way along the edge of the desert.
The ,nkling the camel bells, and the cries
of tltr Arab drivers, grew more faint as
they pushed across the desert, until they
were lost to view. The setting sun, whose
rays yet family purplcd the horison, and the
howl of the ackal, admonishcd US of the
coming on of night, and of the security of
our civilized inn; SO remounting our dom
