The UNITED STATES AGRICULTURAL FAR.-The
Ohio Cmtivotor has the following curt remarks in
reference to the late exhibition of the United States
Agricultural Society held at Cincinnati:
The show of the United States Agricultural So
ciety came and went, and if were possessed OF
half the ill nature which the officers of that institu-
ton give us credit for, we should say-served 'em
right Butwe have resentmens to fatten on their
disgrace. They came in defiance of the protests OF
the friends and representatives, of State and 10.
cal boards, and when we found that they would
in spite of these protests, advised our peo-
pie to administer the quiet and effective rebuke of
letting them alone, and they did so! Never were
airer skies or more bamy airs but the opening was
an ominous dearth of people, the progress most
farcical attempt at respecabiliy the close resound-
ed with the maledctions of duped innocent victims
who do not read the papers, and the pretentious
officers were at last logged out of the State by the
sheriff, and left their local manager deeply in the
lurch. Such is a true history of the late exhibit
tion Let them now gather up the wreck of their
damaged forces, retire to the elegant official pre-
cincts of Washington, resolve themselves into Ma
tional Mutual Admiration Society of the blandest
and most economical sort, and we will let them

MORE ABOUT LEsoARBAULT's New PLANET.
The new interior planet discovered by Ben
iamin Scott in ls47, and observed again in
March, 1859, by Lescarbault, is creating con-
siderable excitement among the astronomical
savans of Europe. Its estimated diameter is
from four to six seconds, or from 1000 to
5000 miles; and, roughly computed, its dis
tance from the sun. at I5,000,000 miles, its
period at twenty-nine days, and its greatest
elongation at from eight to ten degrees.
space traversed by the moving body was so
great that the discoverer supposed the time
of central transit would have occupied only
from three and half to four hours. This
planet is within the orbit of Mercury, and is
supposed to be but one of series yet to be
accurately described. - ~ .-

A sOtrHEnNrn INSANE ON THE supJEcr

A SotTHERNER INSANE ON THE SUBJEcr OF
PIsToLs.-The other night, says the Baltimore
Clipper, the attention of a policeman was at
tracted by the discharge of several pistols
from an upper window of a clearinghouse,
and on proceeding thither, saw a man who,
by his language and actions, was presumed to
be crazy. The officer finding the front-door
of the house open, entered and proceeded to
the room occupied by the man, the door of
which had been securely fastened by him.
and attempted to secure the man, who had a
revolver in each hand, one of which he dis
charged several times at the officer, who, OBJ
tanning assistance, finally succeeded in con-
Quoting his prisoner to the Central Station.
He styled himself DIR. John W. Foster, Of

The life-breathing question of criminal
jurisprudence is once more the order of the
day. The Minister of Justice has sent in his
report, and every feeling of hope is grati6ed
at beholding the dimunition which has
taken place in the criminal tendencies of the
condemned portion of the French population.
Statistics are stubborn things, and there is
no gainsaying downright calculation, with
its multiplication, subtraction and addition,
although placed in opposition with the finest
woven theories of philosophers, or the we'll
devised systems of legislators. Capital pun
ishment has been awarded but in thirty y-eight
cases. Fifteen of these have received execu-
ton. On the other hand, the number of con-
demnations to hard labor for life have been
more numerous than during the preceding
year, although the number of accused
brought before jurics has been less. Impris-
onment has only been awarded in two-fifths
of tho cases brought up for judgmentS-372
out of l,000--in consequence of the leniency
with which extenuating circumstances are
always accepted by French juries The
1851 tribunals of police have pronounced
Judgment in Al $40 cases, and declared their
incompetence on 1,077 occasions. These
cases have been either carried into higher
courts or dismissed at once. As natural
consequence of the growing progress Of ed
ucaton and prosperity, suicide as well as
crime is found to have considerably dimin-
ished; and another blessing is acquired, too,
in the dimunition of the expenses of justice
all over France. Although at the first glance
this dimunition may seem out of proportion
to that observed in the total number of affairs
brought before the different courts of the EN-
pire-the fact, says the Minister, will be
easily accounted for by the greatest reduction
of all having taken place in the offenses
against property, while those against the per-
son, the prosecution of which occasion the
greatest expense, have not diminished in the
same proportion

THE FATHER-IN-LAw OF HENRY CLAY.-The
Hagerstown Herald says that Colonel Hart,
the father-in-law of Henry Clay, was for q
number of years, previous to his removal to
Kentucky, prominent citizen and an extern
sive merchant of Hagerstown. In connec-
tion with his partner, Colonel Rochester, the
founder of the city of Rochester, he estab-
lished the first mercantile house that ever
existed in Hagerstown, from which an i'm
mense area of country was supplied with
goods between the years 780 and l796 Dur
ing the latter year they opened store in
Danville, Ky, and one or two other towns in
the then far distant West, which they placed
into the hands of their sons, and to whom
they regularly sent goods from Hagerstown
on pack horses Subsequently Hart removed
to Kentucky with his family, where his
daughter married the iIlustrious statesman,
and Rochester to Western New York, where
he commenced the city which bears his name.

THE HUNGARIAN POLICE DEpARTMESr.-Th

SAAN'@
Nord of Brussels, says;
An incident has Just occurred at Pesth,
which has caused the greatest sensation-a
descent made by the police of Vienna on a
couptry-house, in which resides old Count
Czechenyi, one of the highest illustrations of
Hungary, and whose name is connected with
all that has been done for the moral and ma
terial regeneration of the country. Count
Szechenyi is sixty-eight years of age; he was
Minister under the Archduke Stephen andis
still Privy Councillor and Chamberlain to
the Emperor The Countess, his wife, is
member of the Order of the Starred Cross,
and Lady of the Palace to the Empress. The
Count is living in that retirement necessary
for the care of his health, shattered by the
misfortunes of his country the highest polit-
ical notabilities, foreign diplomatists, and
even the ministers themselves, however, visit
the noble old man, thus rendering homage to
his patriotism and to his political worth. All
these considerations did not spare him from
the unmerited outrage of a domiciliary visit,
which was afterward extended to all the per-
sons of his family and to his friends, in con-
sequence, as it would appear, of a false de-
nunciation. This visit led to no result.
