The WARD MEETINGs.-The meetings to
nominate ward officers are called at the re-
spective wrad rooms this evening at SEVEN
O'CLOCK. On account If the war meeting pre-
Viously called at Mechanics Hall, it is very
desirable that the attendance should be pune
tual The character Of the new city govern
ment will greatly depend on tie action of these
meetings, If the important business of them
is attended TO by those who are most inter-
ested in having a good city government, they
will have one. If it is neglected. or left to
the devices of interested managers, the
chances are against them. The duties of the
council and the school committee are not light
or unimportant, and Ought not to be left to
chances. Let the meetings be fairly and
punctualy attended, and there will no ques-
ton but that the nominations will represent
the best sentiment of the city.

agricultural college. DIR. S. C! Hartwel adj
vised locating the new college at Cambridge,
or in connection with some other established
university-an idea which was sharply con-

sources of Massachusetts were discussed nv
the farmers present, practical and theoretical:
and Prof. johnson of New Haven gave val.
liable lecture upon manures and their appli.
cation. Prof Agassiz gave lecture on
"glacerS" at one of the sessions, showing
their utility in cultivating soils. He also rec
commended Cambridge as the proper place for
the new college. Farmers boys should 90
