committee will be successful in the
effort, as there are many among us,
who, while they are unable or I'M
willing to resort to the College, are
yet DESTROYS of more thorough edu-
cation, than that usually obtained in
our common schools. If the farmers
of this county would bestow a little
attention upon this subject, a triAing
outlay might attach an Agricultural
Department to the school, whose ben
eft, particularly, in the matters Of
breeding and of Agricultural Chemis

the young farmer.

been placed under ten thousand dollar
bonds, oaeh for making and selling, imi-
tations Of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. This

protect them from being imposed upon

half enough-The villain, who would for

- A pleasant method Of spending

- A pleasant method Of spending
a summer day, excursivoly,-is to
take the morning train at 7 o'clock or
thereabouts for Burlington thence
the steamer up the Lake through a
delightful and constantly shifting
scenery, to Larrabee's Point, taking
dinner there, or on the boat thence
by Perry's line, coaching homcwards,
and arriving about five o'clock, ?. M.
The change from cars to boat, and
from boat to stage, gives variety ana
pleasure, and relieves fatigue. Take
your family, wife or sweetheart and
try it.

Of the Cemetery, or do the "dead

the authorities, in charge, whoever
they arc, will attend to this.

requesting the public alton of per-
