ers throughout the country, that it is the in
tention of the Editor and Proprietor of the
"Germantown telegraph not only to con-
tinue as heretofore the Agricultural DEPART
ment of his paper, but sedulousiy to add to
its character and value by all the means at
command. All necessary space shall be pro-
vided for a full I%record Of Agricultural Details
and a full development of every branch of the
Farmers Pursuit. He will in future, as he
has always heretofore, aim to be practical,
and to be Of real and substantial advantage
to husbandry. His course, also, will continue
to be thoroughly independent, and wholly un

conceives to be promotive of the true interest
of Agriculture in its broadcast meaning. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other in
fluence shall swerye him from the path of
right and duty.

Neatly printed on good paper, of the largest
class, it shall continue to be one of the hand

Entering Town Sites.

The following correspondence will show
that the act of the last Legislature of the
Territory, designating the County Commits
sioners as the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognized by the Commissions
Of the Land Office.
1t is a question of doubt whether the Judges
Of Probate, or the United States Judges, can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court"
As soon as that doubt is removed, notice will
be given. In the mean time no entering Of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Legislature
will be placed in the hands of the Commits
%sioner, and, under the circumstances, the en-
tries already made MAY be confirmed.

BRIEF sCIssORINGs.

Within the last three years the number of
unknown persons who have died in New York
has averaged 300 per annum. This seems
almost incredible. How many tales of sorrow
and suffering are connected with the mysterious
records
Count du Chatel, of Paris, recently bought
his wife a lot Of jewelry, among which was one
ruby for which he gave $4,000.
1t is stated that Chas Dickens gains, by his
readings 100000 year.
The sleeping room of Mr. G. W. Powers
proprietor Of the hotel in Oxford n. H., was
entered on the night of the 18th inst, and rob-
bed OF $3.50 in money and papers of the value
of $1,000.
The oldest lady in South Carolina is Mrs
Singleton, of Williamsburg. She is one hun
dred and forty years Of age, and has been
blind for sixty years.
Plutarch says, in his Life of Alexander, that
Babylonians used during the dog days, to sleep
on skins filled with water. A Boston paper
says that in these days men sleep on skins
filled with bad rum.
The delinquent tax list of numbered lots and
buildings at st. Louis, fills twenty columns of
the st. Louis Republican, one of the mammoth
sheets of the country.
The N. Y Times thinks the Mount Vernon
zeal is very well in its way, and very COM
mendable when it is natural and spontaneous
but it is in serious danger of becoming bore
Three of the leading news agency firms in
New York, have forwarded 500 each to Mr..
Everett as their contribution to the Mount
Vernon Fund.
A speculator has bought large quantity of
tobacco in Hatfield, this year, for twelve cents,
and the price now being twenty cents, he peck
cts handsome profit, estimated in gross at
$4,000.
The San Antonio Ledger says there are six
Mexicans living there whose joint ages foot up
6l3 years.

THE DEATH OF CAPT. LUDLow.-The
steamship Ariel, whose arrival at Halifax has
been announced by Telegraph, reached New
York on Sunday. She has been "a days from
Havre, and met with very severe weather.
Capt. Ludlow was killed during the gale of the
9Th A tremendous sea broke over the forward
deck, and the Captain was knocked down by
a heavy drag" composed of plank and tim
bers, which struck him in the side. He was
found lying on his back, his cap washed off,
his eyes closed, and apparently insensible. In
this condition he was conveyed to his room.
He revived and uttered few words, among
which were" Tell the Commodore l died at
the post of duty" He then expired. A box
was Immediately made and his body put in it
and packed with ice. By this means the re-
mains were perfectly preserved, the face being
as natural, when exposed at New York, as il
the noble sailor was only asleep.

CLASSIFICATION OF POLITICIANS.

There is a discussion in the papers, on the
question, whether certain members of Con-
gress, acting with the Republican party, are
properly classified, in the Tribune Almanac,
as members of that party. The work of class
flying public men at a time when old parties
are dying and new ones are forming, is very
delicate-especially if the men themselves do
not like to be committed. The exact focal
point has not yet been fixed at which political
character may be fairly judged. Nor have we
settled upon any rules for the distribution of
public men, who will not distribute themselves.
The Tribune Almanac has experimental in
the field for several years, generally with good
success But, when the nightmare of Know
Nothingism descended on us all, even that ora
Gle became confused and it is not remarkable
that its utterances shonld even now be ques-
toned.
But, as to the particular offences with which
it is now charged-the announcement of a few
Members of Congress as Republicans, who are
only American Repubicans-we certainly think
they are venial offences, and ought to be for
gwen W 4bll AlAOSC WIZ dAS tSlldSAOuS VI a
particular name, we have no quarrel, if they
do not attach to it a hostile meaning. But the
weather clerk of the Tribune, who has to cal
eulate the ecceauiciies of POLITICAL as well as
natural, meteorology, upon general principles
could not be expected to make allowances for
the local accidents, which lead so many Re-
pubicans here to call themselves something
else. He has not had the advantages sufficient
to enable him to distinguish the delicate and
varying shades of political affinity, which we
have had in Massachusetts, during the last
three or four years.
But discussions ike these are very unprofit-
able, and ought to be discouraged. Nothing
weakens party bonds so much, or renders par
ty action so Intellectual, as manifestations of
jealousy, and the determination to keep alive
the memory of the times when they were di-
vided. The class of men who were only fore
most in fomenting discord, have been mostly
shaken off. And we rarely hear, from any
source, never from our public men, the express
sion of sentiments, or of mere whims, not de-
serving the name of sentiments, of which the
tendency, if not the design, is to promote dis
affection, and encourage ill-feeling among those
who should be united.

KNOWLEDGE UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

1t is mere commonplace to speak of progress
against opposition as something meritorious.
But there is point at which heroic endurance
and triumphant resistance become not only
commendable but really sublime. For the
sake Of the good lesson which they teach, the
following illustrations from real elves passed
in a constant wrestle with those twin goalers
of the daring heart-low birth and iron for
tune"-may be properly told. At an anniversa-
ry meeting of the Manchester Eng Associa-
ton of Mechanics and Laboring men, held for
the distribution Of prizes among those who had
won distinction in the evening schools, the
facts were elected.
Two brothers, who worked in a coal pitfrom
morning till night at Chorley, gained the high
est honors in their classes, to attend which,
three nights a week. Two boys took the sec
ond prizes in Chemistry, who began their lives
as piecers in a factory at eighteen pence a
week. A young plasterer, sixteen years Of
age, took the third class certificates from the
hands of Lord Brougham. A wagon-maker
from Bury, who did not know his alphabet
when he came to maturity; chair-maker, who
worked during daylight, and then walked six
miles night to attend his classes a moulder
in an iron foundry, who literally earned his
livelihood by the s1oeat of his brow, and rose at
four in the morning to learn the art of Engin-
eering; working blacksmith, whose anvil
rung with his sturdy blows while the sun
shone, and many, many others ofthe stern and
defiant sons of laborious fortune had conquer
ed honorable distinction by the valor of self
sacrifice and the jealous devotion of ambitious
minds.
The moral of the facts points to another com
mon-place-but one which it is always profit
able to remember-that there is no royal road
TO knowledge No bar sinister crosses the path
Of that man, by whatever accident of fortune
his pride may be bowed down to the dust, who
determines on success, and measures his weap-
ons to achieve it. The names of men whose
first lessons in geology were learned in the
sheds Of stone cutters; of naturalists who laid
the foundations of their fame in the drudgery
of the farm; of orators who learned the power
of speech in the petty conflicts of the village
and under the impulse of oppressive fortune
have adorned the rolls of illustrious men, in
all times. Others, indeed, have become IA
NOUS; but they became so through the exer-
else and the growth of the same glorious fac
ulties which God in his beneficent providence,
bestowed in equal vigor upon the humble and
the great. There are those who seem to be
born to struggle against difficulties, and fight
with the memorable demon of poverty,-let
them thank God for those gifts which make
them equal with the greatest and the best

PowERs's STATUE OF WEBsTER.-The Flor
ence correspondent Of the Providence Journal,
under date of Nov. 18th, communicates the
following good luck of Mr.. Powers in regard to
the Webster statue:
"It appears there was a slight misapprehen-
sion as to the amount Of gain which Mr.. Pow
ers would derive from the order which he re-
ceived to replace the lost statue of Webster
The price originally agreed to be given for tbe
statue was $4,000, with the reservation ON the
part OF the association of Boston gentlemen
by whom the contract was made, of the RIGHT
to insure When the statue was completed
and shipped this stipulation not being called
TO MIND, MIR. Powers directed his agent in Bos-
ton to insure on his own account, which was
not done, as the matter had already been at
tended to by the other party BY the loss of
the statue the contract was ended lcavino tbe
association in possession of the sum originally
subscribed, with the amount due from tba in
Surance company, and indebted to Mr.. Powers
lor the price agreed to be paid. In making an
arrangement with the artist for a replica. Mt n
reduced price, of course the association was
a gamer to the extent Of the difference between
the sum agreed to be paid and that received
from the office of insurance If the price paid
Tor the replica was 81 900, the amountreceived
by Mr.. Powers for the two would be S1qOO0
AS the cost at the foundry here for each cast
ing was about oloOO, the gain to the artist for
his own labor would be SIG. 600 altooetbor in
stead OF $4,000 on the last statue alone which
was the statement made before under the an
prehension that the artist, and not the associa-
uon was the insurer. As it is, Mr.. Powers
declares himself to be gamer to the amount
OF something more than $1,000 by the loss
