The Now York Agricultural Col
lege.

This institution was organized in 1858,
and is located in Ovid, Seneca County
The people of the county have subscribed
$4,000 towards its endovm msnt, and will
probably raise Sl0 600 more. The rus-
tees have applied to the State for grant
of $4,000, but even this will not be
deemed a sufficient endowment. At least
100000, it is thought, will be pecessa-
ry. The plan of this college, according
to the J0urndlQf Commerce, is of a very
extending and comprehensive character.
1t includes farm of 500 acres, and
course Of instruction which shall en-
brace agriculture, chemistry, mathemat-
les aud mechanics, surveying and engin'
eering, geology and botany, and The prac-
tical applications of the knowledge deri-
we'd from these studies, in the manage,
ment of the farm, the dairy. and the va
rious kinds of live stock. The extensive
farm which has been secured will furnish
fine opportunities for experimenting on
stock. Specimens of all the best breeds
in the world are to be produced, and
their pecularities developed and their
value determined The importance of
this to the State will appear from the
statement Of the JOurndlV Commerce,
that it is computed thai 5000, coo of the
property of the State consists Of live
stock, Of which portion amounting to
two per cent, Is losi every year by dis

better love the peaceful lot
leave the world of noise and show,
To wander by my native brook
l ask, in Lies mruf1ed flow,
No treasure but my friend and book,
These better suit the tranquil home,
Where the clear water murmurs by,
And if | wish while to roam,
| have an ocean in the sky.

With swectcr hours than Fashion knows
There is no camcr queness

The Snowman Showing Himself.

There is really something pitiablo in
the position of Mr. Barnum. The man
who has handled millions, and who has
been held up to the youth Of this nation
as most splendid specimen of Yankee
thrift, stands in public court to say that
he now takes in not the public, but lodg-
ers-that this is his only source of live
lihood, and that he has only S25 in cash,
aud two suits Of clothes left Where
now are his performing elephants, his
camelopards, his Fecjec mermaids, his
Tom Thumbs, his Joyce Hcths, his prize
babies. Lis woolly Horses, his bearded
women, his armless and lcglcss monstros
tiles VIII Jenny Lind tempt.ihe waves
and come back to America to warble for
his relief ? The great fortune obtained
by playing upon the credulity Of the pub
lie, has been stolen b. clock company,
whose large ideas of tick seem to have
been derived from the sort of goods in
which they deal. Can another fortune
be obtained in tho same way We hope
not, and we believe not. The great
goose of public cheerfully laid golden
eggs Tor Mr. Bsruum, until let it into
the secret Of its own auriferous capacity,
aud We fancy that it will be in no hurry
to resume the incubation. No one will
believe in Barnum now. If lie Fshould
take the wings of morning and the Bar
can desert pierce and if he should bring
from thence an alligator five hundred
feet long, nobody would go to see it.eveu
if it were shown at halfprce. If he
should bring forth real baby only three
months old, and weighing two hundred
aud fifty pounds, nobody would put any
confidence in that baby. If he should
capture the vcriost sea-scrpcnt, and offer
him for exhibition, the pleasing monster
would wriggle to beggarly account Of
empty boxes. He might bring over Ris-
tori, but people would not hear her. He
might import magnificent menagerie of
tigers, elephants. monkeys and bald
headed eagles, but every body would
swear that they were all manufactured
to his order in Bridgeport. CT. There
is no giant tall enough, there is no dwarf
short enough, there is no adipose wonder
fat enough for Barnum now. Living
skeletons can bring hlm no comfort, anu
whiskered females might as well be
smooth chinned. for all they can do to re-
trieve the fortunes of the great show
man.
We cannot help pityiug Mr.. Barnum.
