OUR ENGLISH CoUsINs.-College manners
seem to be the same all over the world. The
German students fight dueIs and the aristo-
cratic youngsters OF the English Universities
indulge in even more extravagant perform
ances than the American college boys" They
even carry their fantastic moods into the sol.
emn exercises OF commencement day, as an
pears from the following account of the pro
ceedings at Oxford from letter to the New
York Journal OF Commerce:
1t was like speaking amid continuous salvos
of artillery. Hardly a word was heard and n
by accident any portion Of a sentence was
caught in the pauses Of the uproar. IL was
greeted with shouts of derision. The poor
speaker stood as If acting dumb show. HIS
lips could be seen to move, but no sound could
be distinguished. Most of the hOnored victims
took it as a matter Of course, and some gaily
smiled through it all, but imagine the emotion
of sensitive young college o. ator with such
ejacuiations as these hurled at him by his au-
dienee CThey are specimens Of the sort OF
sl man n nre which was poured upon the speakers
rom ron. the gallery ssit down" "Where's
your your aaanority Sn IN ior thatf why don't you
''The ladies are tiredl" sruru oyern sDon't
tell him" This addressed to the prompter
w here Is the man that gave you a prizel"
Let the lady behind you speakp "Its lite to
you, put It's death to us" "Now do look pleas
antr "Hurrah, he's through"
Thus ended the lcommsmoration exercises
at Oxford. At the conclusion an American
lady not devoid of literary interest and taste,
remarked to me: "How much better than
our dull college commencements?" 1t was in
deed an occasion which would not have mis-
sed for the price of many visits to Oxford. Its
characteristic features, its extravaganza, its
licencs, its imoe 'tinenc', its humor, have
endeavored 70 depict A party of Hottent1ts
returning with the pluuder of q neighborng
village would hardly dare TO hold such riot as
that with which the most scholarly young
men OF England greeted their annual literary
exercises.
In point Of decorum it is evident that our
Yale and Harvard have much the adyantage
OF their illustrious English cousin.

Mr.. EDIToR,-I an article under the head
oI Aroostook County" in your paper of June
20 you say that "Judah ID. league of Lyndon
mas TINS year sOwed one hundred and ten bush
eis Oh grain, and is plowing from twenty TO
thirty acres which he will sow to buck wheat
He raised last yea eleven HUNDRED bushels of
grain"
l have seen the same in other papers, among
which are the Sunrise and Hall5welI Gazette
How the above got into print know not: GER
tainly by no act Of mine; but since il il there
i wish to make a correction, to wit, ssHe rais.d
last year sisteen hundred and 1airty-aue bushels
Of grain, instead Of eleven hundred" And hare
let me add oats average with me sixty and
buckwheat forty bushels to the acre. have
had bu: little experience in wheat raising a.
yet, my only practical knowledge being the
sowing of two bushels upon one acre. from
which l raised thirty-fve bushels Of good
wheat. have sold this spring oats and buck
wheat for one dollar bushel and wheat for
three dollars and fifty cents.
Since have been in this county have been
for the most part of the time engaged in trade,
but the most profitable business in which 1
have been engaged, is the cultivation Of the
virgin soil of Aroostook I am now telling
trees for winter wheat and estimate the ex-
pense Of telling ten acres, clearing the same,
cost OF SEED, harvesting and threshiug. at $500
which is very liberal estimate. Now saw that
this land will produce twenty bushels Of wheat
per acre "a very low figure) worth So 80 per
bushel (present price), and we have the snug
little sum of 500, a net profit of $500 on an
outlay of $500.
Although the price of land in this county is
nifty cents an acre it really costs the settler
nothing, as he pays for it in building roads to
and from his own door. Let the lands Of Aroos-
took be cultivated as they may and ought to
be, and Maine need no longer go to the West
ern States for her bread "But," say You, "the
climate is too cold to raise corn" Not so; we
raise as sound, good corn here as in any part
Of the State. had corn last week twenty
aches high, planted the 3Oth of May and have
not failed to raise good corn when trieI.
Grain, however, is so much more easily and
profitably raised than corn, that we pay but
little attention to it as a crop.

History OF the Br0EnEilIe, Fort
KearneY q Pacific Railroad.

Early in the year 1852 the ADvER-
TIsER, in view of the survey of the
NJ. & M. R. A. L. r. r., and the pros
pect Of its completion, and in view of the
necessities of this county, as we'll as those
Of johnson, Gage and other counties on
the west of this, for cheaper and quicker
transportation, urged upon the capitalists
of this city to organize a Railroad Com
pany, whose object should be to build
a railroad from Brownville TO some point
on the Union Pacific Railroad. A
meeting of our monied men was soon
after called, at which the subject was
fully discussed and resulted in the for
nation of the Brownville, Fort Kearney
& Pacific Railroad Company. The au-
Ihorities of the city of Brownville, in
acknowledgement of its interest in the
premises, donated $1,000 to defray the
expenses of the delegates to Washing
ton, to urge upon Congress the pro-
priety of donating the usual amount of
lands in aid of its construction. The
City Council concurred with numerous
citizens of the county Of Nemaha in
petilioning the Commissioners of the
County to submit to the legal voters of
the county, at a special election, the
question whether the county would take
the stock of said Railroad Company to
the amount of $780, 600, and issue the
bonds of the county, at seven per cent.
per annum, due in twenty years, and
that a tax not exceeding three mills be
levied annually to pay the interest and
to form a sinking fund for the redemp.
ton of the funds at maturity. The cleo
ton was held on the 7ih day of January
last, and resulted in favor of the propo-
sition. The county therefore appropri.
ated $500 from the general fund, and sent
Com'r Holmes TO New York City and
Washington IN the interest of the county
and the railroad. The city sent Col.
Furnas and DR.. Mcpherson to represent
the interest Of the Railroad Company.
At Washington 8 meeting of the Ne.
braska men from Rulo, Brownville and
Nebraska City was held, and the bill
which will be found in another column
of this paper drawn up, and presented
to the Senate by Senator Upton, which
was referred to the appropriate commit.

Nebraska are ~anxiously awaiting further
developments, every step in which our
readers will find infinitely set forth 10

political compass counts upon it's follow

are true, faithful Union men, whose in
