lures by leading reliable men, eminent in the
different departments of agriculture, horticul-
ture, etc. About eighty lectures are provided
for,--two to four each day,-each lecture to be
followed by conversational exercises, questions
to the lecturers, and discussions. Twenty or
thirty gentlemen, we'll known ia Agriculture.
are engaged to take part in the exercises as
lecturers and teachers, while numerous other
eminent agricuturists and horticulturists have
expressed their intention to be present and
participate in the discussions.
Among the lecturers are Lewis +. Allen, Gas.
sius N. Clay and Francis kotch, on Cattle;
Sanford Howard and DR.. CULVER, on Horses;
Y. l.. Flint AMI others, on the Dairy; the Hon.
Marshall P Wilder, DR.. C. w. Grant, Messrs.
P. Barry and R G. Pardee, on Fsuits Professor
Porter on Organic Chemistry; Professor b. Sill
Imam, Jr., on MeteorolOgy; J. Stanton Gould

Drainage; Joseph Harris on Cereals; Professor
Brewer on Commercial! Plants, {aax, hemp, to-

cbell Tx Maxwell on Rural Economy
The whole is TO be free, except the nominal
charge of say ten dollars or less to NEE. the
necessary expenses Of lecturers and other iaci>
dentals. The occasion will doubtless be one OF
great interest to cultivators generally, and call

Terrible Casually ON the Mississippi.
Mc(1R rQnp non 1osn


Our town, on yesterday. was terribly excite d
by hearing Of q most melancholy accident that
occurred the evening before, between this place
and Clayton. On Wednesday Mr.. Baldwin,
livery man, Of Mcdregor, Mr.. Marlatt and Mr..
Vackenburg, merchants Of the same place, With
Mr. L. E. johnson, of the Prairie Hotel, Prai-
RE da CHEN. went from this place to Clayton on
the ice. After transacting thei: business at
that point, they started to return. When
about five miles on the way home, the horses
and sleigh suddenly broke through an air hole.
and for moment all believed themselves lost.
Mr.. johnson. being wrapped up in a heavy
overcoat and buffalo robe. passed under the ice,
and was not seen forward. Mr.. Marlatt, as he
was sinking the second time, was fortunately
seized by Van Vackenburg and rescued, the
latter having reached the solid ice first. Mr..
Baldwin sprang on the sled-tongue, thence to
the backs OF his horses and thence to the ice:
the horses we're drowned. Mr.. B. and Mr.. Van
", after the most dreadful suffering, succeeded
in carrying and dragging their half drowned
companion (MarlatD back to Clayton, where he
was cared for and restored. The might was
very cold, and both Baldwin and Marlatt were
as wet as water could make them. 1t is won-
der how they avoided perishing after they had
escaped drowning.
Mr.. johnson (the deceased) had recently
opened the Prairie House, and has but few &C
quaintances here He leaves o wife and two
children to suffer in this sudden and heart
rending bereavement. A number of persons
are searching to day for the body, but as we 90
TO press no news has reached Us from The scene
of the accident.

PAYING THEM IN THEIR Own CorS.-It has
been proposed that<ome one shall offer a reso.
luton i'll the House at Washington, that no
member who has expressed disunion sentiments
shall be eligible for Speaker. Why mol? Tie
Democrats pretend to object to the Republican
Candidate that be holds opinions tending 10
oisunion. But nearly every Southern Deulocra.
has openly asOwed disunion. Is a tendency to
disunion to be rebuked, and disunion itself to
go unpunisEed! We should like to see what
the Democrats would do with such resolution.
II they reject it they would declare the hollow
ness and hypocrisy of their assumed anxiety
