 worth and professional requirements, will compare favoFably with the most distinguished in onr coun. try. The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly in this any other coantry-ali of them are leeu- rers and the hes, teachers.

 4 common error exists in the minds of many stu. dents relative 10 the place of srpdying medicine {; those who intend prseicing among the diseases Of he West and South should certainly educate them selves at school whose Faculty practically ae- quainted with those diseases.
 That the public may be satisfied of the perma- nency of tils school, feel u our duty to state that the Trustees and Faculty form a unit in action which argues we'll for its future success and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them cannot b. interrupted.

important era in The history Of farming in
our county. !. is movcmen, in The right
direction, and though The articles presented
were not numerous, or remarkable for their
excellence, il will have an important bearing
upon The interests Of Agriculture and labor
generally. Ii will awaken inlercs, 20 the
subject, and that is The first step TO improve
men.. But II will do more. |, viii lead 10
active effor, 10 contribute something another
year that will far surpaas anything that was
presented this. Many were deferred from
offering articles Of real value and excel.
lence by the fear .ha, they might be so far
ou,done that they would be ashamed of The
contributions. They will be better able 10
Judge Of The comparative merits ol their
own articles hereafter. No one should be
deferred from contributing something 10 the
exhibition, from the fear Of being surpassed
or Of no. ob.aniag premium. The true
value Of such exhibitions d oes not consist il
the amount of premium Obtained, but on
,he Thoughts which i, awakens, the gener
ous rivaries which il excites, and the conse
quen, Improvements which will result from
II. If every farmer and mechanic woul'
resolve 10 presen, something worthy OF ex
hibi,ion another year, and would endeavo
10 mako i, as perfec, in its kind as possible
they would be richly rewarded, and they
would afford abundant evidence ,ha, oil III
weakh and capabilities of Meigs county do
lie buried beneath her sandstone.
The number of persons in attendance
was, we believe, much larger than was e,
pec,ed, which shows lha, there has been q
in,eresi awakened in the subject which wi
produce imporan. results.
The address by MIR. Horton was listene
10 with deep in,eres, by large and INTEL
gen. audience, and was worthy Of The sui
ject and the occasion. Ii was mainly occr
pied with clear and able exposition {
those general principles which lie at III
foundation Of all real progress, and viii
some practical suggestions, which are we
worthy of the careful consideration Of tn
farmers of Meigs. We are unable 10 Civ
an nbs,rac. of it, which will convey corre
idea of the many valuable truths and beau,
ful illustrations which ii contained.
After the address tho crowd dispersed
examine the various articles and anima
presented for exhibition. A description
these we mus, leave TO other hands. Ever
hing, we believe passed off in sa,islac,o
manner, and It's influence will be benefici

10 The general interests Of labor and produ
tion in our county.
