Maryland Agricultural College.

We have received from the President,
Rev. Samuel Register, DID,, college cata-
logue for 1868. The College is 4 State
institution, and bids fair to have a useful
and prosperous future. In examining the
list of students given in the circular, we
none from our own county. BY the liber-
atty of the Legislature, the College is en-
abled to receive sixty students from the
State, free of charges for tuition, books
ty-five dollars per annum. Twelve of these
State students will be received from each
Congressional District, and out Of that di-
vision in this District, Cecil is entitled to
four. Applications for admission to the
College must be made through the Board
of School Commissioners of the county.
The Agricultural Course is principally
theoretical, with the aid, however, of a
"well stocked, well worked farm, and the
skilful practice of garden and orchard cul-
ture.' This it is believed, is sufficient to
give the student 4 smattering Of practical
agricultural knowledge, to put him in the
way Of becoming well-informed farmer.
\ limited knowledge of military tactics
is also taught in the College which in add
dtion to these two features. puts the stu
dent through the customary collegiate
course.
The institution is situated in Prince
Georges county, nine miles from Washing
ton, and within three-fourths Of mile of
the Washington Branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. The location is pro-
nounced as eminently healthful. We hope
the College will receive that .dcgree of pa
tronagc which will enable it to rank among
the first institutions of learning in the
