Agricultural Schools.

1t is truly gratifying that m ore atten'
ton is being bestowed upon the estab'
lshment of Agricultural Schools than
has ever taken place previously. We
are reioiced at this; because we believe
such institutions cminently calculated
to do much good to our country, if pro-
perly conducted.
In regard to the question which par
ents so frequently find themselves call
ed upon to ask-"What are we TO do
with our sons?"-Agricultural Schools
under iudicious arrangements, would do
much to afford the most fortunate ave-
nucs for final and happy answer. A
general discussion has had the effect to
satisfy all intelligent minds that what
are termed merely the learned profess
sions have tendency to be sadly over
stocked. So also with Clerkships and
Merchants, without any thing-whatever
to aid them forward in business. In.
stead Of parents still continuing to crowd
their sons in these uncertain and unpro.
ductive avenues, we agree with an intel.
ligent contemporary, that it would be
far better to put them between the han
dies of plough, teach them the honest,
independent, praiseworthy and sure bust
ness Of a farmer--let them learn how to
cultivate the land-to make two blsdei

FOURTH OF MARcH.-Why Seleeted.-
Do our readers generally, know the rea-
son why the fourth Of March was chosen
as the day for the inauguration of the
President of the United States 1t was
selected because the fourth of March
in every year, commencing from the first
Inauguration, cannot come on Sunday
for at least three hundred years. This
fact shows the great regard which the
trainers of our government had for the
Sabbath. They arranged the matter SO
wisely that the day of the performance
of the ceremonies of Inauguration will
not fall on Sunday for three hundred
years.--ChronOtype
b0- If that was the reason why the
fourth of March was chosen for the pur-
pose, it shows that " the trainers of our
Government" had vast deal more zeal
than knowledge, as any man who has
wit enough to edit newspaper ought to
know ; for the last Inauguration, but one
Gen. Taylor occurred on the fifth
of March, because the fourth fell on
Sunday.

pa~ Jenny Lind, as we learn from
her own pen, is most happy in her do
mestic relations, all reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. I'm a letter to
Swedish and Norwegian Consul at New
York, Jenny puts to rest all gossip in
the following very luminous epistle -
DRESDEN, 10 Feb, 1853.
"Vi ma, Gudilof! val. Otto ar

hemma jemt, vanlig jemt, densamma
tilforlitliga vannea al jemt, tan ker hara

This, of course, would settle the busi-
ness with any reasonable man, but the
following translation leaves no room for
mistake -
eve are, God be thanked quite
we'll. Otto, is very good and kind. He
labors always, is at home always, is kind
always, is the same fai hful friend al
ways, thinks only of my welfare and my
happiness, and maintains a calm, still
courage in all circumstances.
Good boy, Otto We are inexpressi-
bly, happy in hearing Jenny speak so
well of you. We didn't believe all those
naughty stories about you. But we
really do not see why she should keep
you laboring always we supposed
she was able to support you without
your having to work so continuously
We are afraid she is getting parsimoni
Gus, for we hear from other sources that
she is not so liberal as before her mar
riagc. 1t is quite astonishing that you
should be able to maintain calm. still
courage" under the peculiar circum-
stances" which you seem to be placed ;
though we are not enlightened as to
what they are, still we know they must
be, as Dominic Sampson says, p-r-o-d.i-
Ig-i-o-u-s-! The Swedish and Norwe-
gian Consul has certainly done the
State some service" in publishing this
important document.

HOiiO,ody's Ointment and Pills for the
Cure Of Sore Legs--The wife of Mr. Thom-
as Froude, an officer in the police, at Plymp-
ton, near Plymouth, had a bad leg for up
wands of six years, caused by a blow, to
cure which she had the best medical advice,
and tried various remedies without success.
She was then induced to try Holloway's
Ointment and Pills, and these invaluable
medicines have effected perfect cure in a
very short space of time. The efficacy OF
these remedies is too well known to require
praise, as there are none superior for heal
ing old wounds, ulcerous sores, or kings
evil, and and all diseases of the skin.

New LONDON, Or. Nav 7. 1853.

NEW LONDON, CT., May Z, 1903.
Last evening will long be remember
ed by the friends of Temperance in
New London. 1t is we'll known that
Rev Jabez Swan has labored with zeal
unequalled by any in the cause of Tenn
|perance-especially in New London
County--and his many friends we're
determined that he should have some
standing memorial of their appreciation
of his indefatigable labors in that cause.
Accordingly, without respect to party
or sect, they presented him with mag
nifcent Silver Pitcher, and other articles
to the amount in all of $3.50. 1t was
thought best to have public meeting,
and present these testimonials of their
regard in a public manner. At an early
hour the large church on Washington
Street, elder Swan's) was thronged
with the lovers of God and Humanity
The Programme for the evening was
as follows
lst. An Anthem, by the Choir.
I'd. Prayer, by Rev. Mr.. Holman.
3D. A brief opening Address, by Rev.
0. T Walker.
4th. Temperance Ode, by the Choir
5th. Address, by Rev Mr.. Holman.
9th. Presentation of Plate, by b. w.
Tompkins, Esq, President of the New
London County Temperance Society,
accompanied by an Address.
7. Reply, by Rev. j. Swan, thanking
them for their kind remembrance of him
The exercises throughout were deeply
interesting-the addresses timely and
appropriate. The singing was delight
full, while the New London Brass Band
added to the whole a" soul-stirring air. !"
There was feeling in every heart that
it was proper to honor those whom God
honors. One happy feature in the move
ment was that no particular class or de-
nomination performed this noble and
generous deed. Ed. Swan is very highly
esteemed in this city for his self-sacrifc-
ing labors in the cause of God, humanity
and religion.
The services closed amid the happy
congratulations of the multitude assem-
