BENEFIT OF DTTCHING.

Abou, one year ago | bought 100 acres
of land, for $500. There was al least
$3.50 worth Of improvements on it. The
reason | bought it SO cheap was, il was so
wei that the former owner could not make
a living on it. He told the n~eighbors that
il was loo wet 10 raise grsss. He said il
he would SOW clean timothy seed on j., in
two years il would turn 10 wild grass.-
Well, last spring | went TO- work and cut
a ditch large enough to drain it decenily.
Some of the time | worked in The water
TO The top of my boots, and that moi a lit
lie of the tine, for | cut the ditch in the
loves, of the ground. The consequence
was the wafer had a chance 10. run of,
and my ground wss 6i to pillow about as
SION as my neighbours dry land. plan
led six acres of corn on the part ! dlched;
and from that six acres, | took off 400
bushels of shelled corn that was good
and sound. This proves TO my s%alisfac.
ton that IL low, wet lands, when well
ditchled are our best lands. | would say
TO one and all Of those for whose benefit
write, hold up your heads. For in due
season you chall reap, il ye faint not
in ditchiug. Do not back out at The noise
of a few frogs; just go 10 work and dig a
good ditch, and drain the waiter off iron

The Principal Of the Institutlop, guided by the
wants and experiences OF the Mercantile community
has recently secured some or the ablest men In the
State as instructors and Lecturers In the various dc.
partments Of the College - ,t
The Prof Of the Science OF Accounts, has had an
experience Of eight or nine years IN Commercial AZ
fairs, alternating his time, partly as Teacher, In the
Mercantile Colleges Of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and
Cleveland, and partly as an actual Book.keeperi In thS
best business House In the Country. These rare quail
i~hcations, SO desirable aud yet so seldom found In our
Mercantile Schools. will enable this College to I'm
part a more thorough knowledge OF the real minutia
Of Practical and Theoretical Book. Keeping than can
be had probably in any similar institutions In the
United States.
The subject Of Commercial Calculations will have
more prominence In this than In most Institutions Of
the kind, size a separate chair 10 TO pc devoted TO H.,
besides the usual instruction given BY the the Prof. or
Accounts. The modus operandi OF Teaching Is en-
tirely new and originel-pursued by no Mercantile
SchOOl-fOun nd In no text book, and may be justly and
properly styled "telegraphiu" In It's nature, since u
will abridge the labors OF the Accountant, more than
one half.
Penmanship In addition to the usual methods pur.
sued, will he taught on the new and unriyalled Sys-
TEN Of Chirythmography, developed by the Principal
In his extensive experience as Instructor IN the PUB
lie Schools OF this city aud elsew here. This system
will produce the popular Commercial Hand ofthe day,
In about half the time usually devoted to That pur'
