A We give such ofthe proceedings as pos
sess general Interest,":
e Mr. Smith Of Lordiu, offered the follows
ing resolution. which was unanimously adoP-
ted: -.
Resolrsd, That the Legislature be reques-
ted hereafter to send the Agricultural Re-
ports TO The several County Agricultural So

The plan heretofore has been to send the

less especially called Tor they are apt to
n,onider in a garret or slumber peacefully in
their original package. whereas, the officers
of the county Societies would attend 10 iher
Distribution where they would be most apt
10 have influence.
The following resolution was offered by
Mr.. Jones of Pike county.
Resolped, That The Agricultural interests
OF Ohio require a more efficient stock law
than that now in force in reference TO ami
mails running at large, aud that the several
counties through their respective societies
use their influence 10 secure the passage of
a law to that effect. Adopted.
Mr.. Green offered a resolution instructing
the, State Board TO offer q premium for the
best tobacco crop, raised in Ohio.
II was moved to amend by inserting, and
TO. the best whisky; but on request, the
whisky amendment was withdrawn so as to
afford a fair debate and square vote on the
naked question:
Mr.. Green supported his resolution in an
earnest speech, wherein he remarked that
it was the almighty dollar we were all after
and that it has been proved that the tobacco
crop was u very lucrative one, and as such,
should be encouraged.
Mr.. Jey OF Delaware, said that he had
been where he could enj y the fresh air Of
heaven, and was opposed to having it cloud
ed and nauseuted by tobacco smoke; he
could show the gentleman from Hamilton q
quicker way of making money than raising
tobacco even. Why don't the gentleman
offer q premium for the most expert thimbie
rigger, or dice ~plumper. They too are
after the almighty dollar and generally gel
it, and should surely be encouraged.
The question was further discussed by
Messrs. Laid, Strickle, Millikin and others,
against, and Green and Gen. Louden in ia

taken, the question was lost by a decided
majority e.e -.
