Randolph lyt.l Farmers, Clnh.

As our winter term of twenty-five weeks
has just closed, | write the following briei
summary Of the doings of this six-years old
institution, before forget them, thinking
they may be acceptable to you, and perhaps
interesting and useful To some Of your read.
ers.
Commencing November 4th, we failed not
to have an interesting meeting eoery Monday
evening for twenty-five weeks, although sew.
eral evenings the weather and going were
very bad, and most Of the members liv,
from half a mile to six miles distant Tn,
more experience we have the more Importance
we attach to, and interest we feel in our meet.
lngs; and during each term we require suf
hcient momentum to bring Us together, after
thirty weeks vacation, with full steam III
for the succeeding winter term.
During the first four terms, our chief exer.
elses, each evening, were an essay and the
discussion the fifth term we added an origi.
nal GRAFTON to our exercises; and the last
term we added AN ip,promptu speech of five
minutes duration-the essay and Grafton be-
ing limited to fifteen minutes each.
This speech is from some member called Ia
thestand and his subject given him at The time
80 that he has no chance for preparation.
1t has proved very interesting and profitable
and sometimes amusing; also source of at.
traction to outsiders, and has not failed at any
meeting; the same is also nearly true of the
essay and grafton.
Our subjects for discussion are given ont
the previous week, (by a committee chosen
once ~ four weeks,) one appointed to open,
and the discussion is carried on by volunteers
During the present term we have discussed
the following subjects, some of them occupy.
ing several weeks; Advantages Of fall over
spring blowing; Butter factories; Fall treat.
ment Of farm stock Care of sheen from pras,
to grass; viii book farming pay? What Is
the most profitable stock for farmers here
Shall we sell our surplus feed or buy stock 70
consume il? What breeds of stock shall we
keep? What kinds Of stock improve farms
most; Selling Barns, object and construct
ion; The corn crop; Hay crop; Fruit rails
ing; Sources and application Of manures !;
Best management Of cows before and after
calving; Raising calves Sugar-making and
apparatus Horse raising; Reports Of use Of
seeds from Agricultural Department.

most ready writer's, keeps pretty full minutes

A NOTED FEMALE GAMBLRR.

Major James kirkland gives in PutRdm's
Magazine, clever picture of life at the IA
NOUS or infamous, gambling place ofHam-
burg. He thus describes noted female
gambler:
a famous player and constant loser is
the Countess Kisselef She has been often
described. Every one has heard Of her
being wheeled in her chair to the Kursaal,
and sitting at her place at the table from
the opening to the closing Of the play,
almost uninterruptedly, seven days each
week during the whole season. Fabulous
tales are told regarding her age, but from
her looks, she cannot be over seventy. Be
sides, her peculiar relations with the En-
peror Nicholas of Russia tx The date Of
her birth as being almost certainly since
the beginning of the present century. Very
large, very bent, very infrn, very bright
eyed and very affable-such are the char
acteristics which now mark the appear.
ance of this world-famOus beauty.
Nicholas left her one hundred thousand
horins year. The present Emperor has
cut down this pension one-half, and on the
remainder, say $20,0 (n addition to her
private fortune), the Countess manages,
with strict economy, TO live. OF course
she cannot play very heavily. She is said
to set aside forty thousand francs a year to
lose at play, saying that in her youth and
beauty she spent more than that sum on
dress and gayety and, now that youth and
beauty are gone, she must spend her time
aud money on the pleasures which are left
her. Gaming, with her, is not specnla-
tion, it is an occupation--s slight excite
ment, almost unconnected with hope and
fear. In her favor il may be said that in
Russia she is much respected When she
is in st. Petersburg, the street where she
lives is blocked with the carriages of cali
ers-the best society, they say.
