Immediately after r~oll-call the Seereta-
ry of the Agricultural Board, j.. II. Kip
part, Esq, was called upon TO read an
elaborate essay on Agricultural Education,
embodying the results of his observations
during his tour last summer in Europe.
The reading occupied a great part of the
morning session of the convention, and
was listened TO attentivey by an interest
ed audience.
A vote of thanks to the Secretary for
his zeal and industry in procuring infor-
nation for the use ofthe Board, was unan-
imously adopted.
Action looking to the publication of the
essay was taken.
Nominations for members of the Board,
to supply the vacancies occurring from the
expiration of the terms of present mem
bers, were called for. The following were
nominated

Miami Solomon Brecount, of Champaign,
and Giles Boalt, Huron.
Messrs. Jones, Greer, FulliDgton, Tur-
ney and McClung, are the expiring mem
beers of the Board.
Judge Jones sought to decline a ~re-elec-
ton, but the Convention declined excusing
him, so that he will be voted for in the
election.
A little surprise party was held in the
Agricultural Rooms on Tuesday evening,
after the adjournment of the Wool
Growers Meeting, at which President
Montgomery remarked hat the ~organiza-
ton and continuance of that body had
been attended with much labor, and many
interesting incidents had been connected
with it. Of the gentlemen who had aided
in this work, none had labored more faith
fully and effectually hat Gen. S. d. Har-
ris, and as a testimonial on behalfof a party
of the members, he had the pleasure on
this occasion Of presenting to him a set of
Frank Forester's Horses and Horsemanship
of America.
Mr.. Harris had received no intimation
Of the intended compliment, and said that
he was very seldom taken by surprise, but
now found himself fairly caught in a sur
prise party. The present was one which
appealed to his understanding, as well as
10 his position; and taken in connection
with the confidence just expressed by the
association in his election as Secretary and
Treasurer, wal received with feelings of
double satisfaction, and for which he re-
turned his most grateful acknowledge
ments.
The present consisted of a costly quarto
edition of Frank Forester's great work, in
two heavy volumes, superb.y bound, and
appropriately inscribed upon the cover as
presented to Gen. S. D. Harris, from the
Ohio Wool Growers Association. r.
