London was nominated as the site, and
an offer of endowment made of over. $6o,-
900, which it was thought could be in
creased to 100000 The members visited
the land offered by Rich. COwling, ESQ,
for the College grounds and buildings,
comprising nearly $50 acres on the eastern
border of London, and in public meet
ing heard astatement of the opinions and
expectations of the citizens interested.
Wooster, Ohio, was put in nomination
by a delegation of her citizens, ]. II.
Kauke, Esq, James A. Reed, and Judge
Welker, NJ. c., who briefly stated their
intentions, having already pledges of $780,
600 and beautiful site near the city.
An invitation to visit Wooster was ac-
accepted, and an adjourned meeting to be
held in that city Tuesday, January 18th,
will probably decide the question of lo-
cation, unless further offers are made by
cities and villages that have had the sub

The opportunity presented by the South
ern States for agricultural enterprise in
the future, and the vast prospect of in
creased productiveness can hardly be
overestimated, when it is remembered
that in addition to the inefficient culture
under which the soil has heretofore lam
guished, and the area of unimproved pub
lie lands still unoccupied, that it is caIcu-
lated that three-fcurths of the farms and
plantations now classed under cultivation
is also unimproved. So vast domain of
soil still in its primal richness, or slowly
recuperating under the benignant hand of
nature from years of inefficient tillage, is
now only awaiting the occupation of new
laborers, and is ready to repay their exer-
tions by an abundant fertility perhaps un-
equalled elsewhere on the surface Of the
earth.-PHiEGdelphia Press.

Ohio State Board of Agriculture, the Ohio
State PomOlogical Society y,and the Illinoi:
State Horticultural Society, without dis
senting vote, have requested the removal
of the present Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, on the ground of incompetency.
These Associations ought to be compe-
tent judges upon the question on which
they have expressed themselves so plainly
and unanimously; and the incompetency
of which they complain must be glaring
indeed to have provoked such an unusual
course toward the head of Bureau. We
have long regarded the periodical reports
issued by the Commissioner of Agriculture
as hardly creditable to an important de-
Partment of national affairs. 1t is due to
his position that Commissioner Newton
should at least pay some regard to the
rules of syntax and prosody.

successful defence of her son, young Arm

CURED at Beardstown, the county seat of
Cass county, Illinois, town on the Illi-
nois river, some forty miles from Spring
field, Mr., ,Lincoln's home at that time. 1t
was, probably, one Of the most remarka-
bic trials on record. The testimony was
positive and overwhelming, and the tolun-
teer attorney seemed during the examina-
don Of witnesses to be making no defence
at all. He rested the case upon single
point. 1t was alleged that the crime was
committed at certain hour of 8 certain
night, and was revealed to the Witnesses
or, rather, to theone Positive witness-by
the aid Of the moon, then Shining brightly.
The attorneys most potent witness was an
old saffron-colored almanac, which he
drew from a capacious pocket in his coat
skirt and proceeded to open. It revealed
the fact that the moon did not rise for sey-
eral hours after the time specified. The
case was won, and theeminent lawyer had
discharged the debt of gratitude he owed

tered the struggling student.
