From letter to the associate Reformed
Presbyterian, by it's editor, Mr.. BONNER,
who has lately been on a trip to Green
vile, VIC clip the following paragraph,
adding that the "Agent" spoken OF, is
our able and active fellow citizen Capt.
GEO. LAKE:
"a scheme is on foot to re-endow the
University located here, and it is be-
lieved will be CARRIED through this year.
We might say double scheme has been
undertaken for this purpose-one by or
binary subscriptions, payable in five an
nual instalments, and one by the life in
surance plan. BY this latter plan, the
agent told us the other day, it was pro-
posed to. raise an endowment Of three
hundred thousand dollars, and he added,
that he hoped to complete the work in
the next sixty days. This ,Diu become
the popula, ptaa, for e',doDi,sg colleges IN
the 7,ezt ten gears. If there is any desire
to know more of this subject, we will ex-
plain at some future time"
Further than this, our Editor writes us
from Greenville that Capt. LAKE is sue
ceeding admirably in this novel scheme,
and that he is soon to transfer the field of
his labors from Greenville to Charleston.
We trust the Charlestonians will receive
him well, and heartily further this ap-
parently admirable endowment plan.

GRAN1TEvILLE, Aug. 10Th, 1871.
Mr.. EDITOR: will oblige me by
allowing me space in the columns o
your journal, to correct few mistakes
which appeared in my letter, as publish
ed in your last issue, to wit:
The statement that I had issued S707, 8:
orders on the County Treasurer, should
have read s7,Oo7,94. Again, "have his
throat quenched" should read have his
thirst quenched. A few othert Topographic
cal errors of less importance, but which
the people will readily understand.
Since writing my last letter, the Coun-
ty Treasurer has informed me that he
has received an order lately from the
Superintendent Of Education for the
balance of the Appropriation; but has
not been able to draw any money from
the State Tre- -urer as yet.

A Noble Benefact1on.

The Trustees of the Louisville Medical
College, louisville, .Ky.,) haze created
one of the most liberal and noble bene-
factions ever conferred by apublic Insti-
tuition upon any people. The Trustees
of this College have instituted one Ben
efciary Scholarship for each Congresston-
al District in the Southern and surround
ing States. By this means very many
poor but deserving young men will be
enabled to obtain thorough medical ed
ucation. Any one wishing to take ad-
vantage of this Benefaction which is
worth to each student at least $500, has
only to write tc Dr. F. s. Gaillard, Dean
of the Faculty of the Louisville Medical
College, Louisville, KY, when he will
receive college catalogue with full in
formation in regard toall that is necessa-
ry for him to do to secure one Of these
Scholarships. With proper and welcome
delicacy the names of those who have
secured the Beneficiary Scholarships will
be known only to the Dean Of the Facul-
ty. 1t is unnecessary to commend those
who have established these noble Bene-
fciary Scholarships. Their act will bring
them the highest wherev-
er it is known.
In accordance with the old Hippocratic
oath, forbidding physicians to charge the
fonoi1ies of eoch other for services rem
dered, the Faculty of this College will
make no charge for teaching sons Of
physicians, and, as no physician charges
a clergyman's family, the sons of clergy
men will receive thesame privilege. The
next College session begins October I'd,
1871. AS the lecture fees charged fol-
each student who has not obtained q
Beneficiary Scholarship, amount to S12O,
annually, the public can appreciate the
munifcence of this benefaction.

peculiar golden hair which gives such
a distinctive character to the features
of his keen-faced father. The lad was
dressed in kilt, and as he stood at the
gate of the castle, among the Dukes
clansmen, the Queen drew Prince Al
bert's attention to him, patted him on
the head, called him a dear little fel
low, and showered upon him her car
cesses during the whole period of he
soiourn. Since that period Lord Lorn
has been a constant visitor at Windsor,
Osborne, and Balmoral, his mother, as
l have said, being very constant in her
attendance upon her Majesty, especial
ly since her seclusion from society con-
sequent upon the death of the Prince
Consort. Thrown much together, young
Lorn and Louise grew up to like each
other, which, being perceived by the
mothers, led to the alliance being talk
ed about. The whole thing was settled
between the Queen and the Duchess
long before anything was said upon the
subject.
Though by no means so intelligent as
his father, Lord LOrn IS young man
of quick parts and good abilities. He
sits in the House of Commons for Ar
gyleshire, and when he does speak he
does so pertinently and with q fair
measure Of success. His training has
been excellent, and his travels wide
Physically he might have been pleasant
looking but for an accident from crick-

somewhat marred his appearance. AL

to do credit to the order to which he

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Farm Implements.

Keep constantly IN a tool-house a
dry cloth and an oiled one. When a
tool is brought in, as it always is when
the days work is done, it is cleaned
and wiped with the dry cloth. If it is
not to be used to next day, the oiled
cloth is then rubbed over it. When
ever a clltivator is not to be used the
following day, it is brought in and
cleaned. By pursuing this course
through the summer, every implement
is kept bright and ready for use. In
addition to these, hoes, shovels, spades,
&C., are kept sharp. All this time use
lard oil, but when there is no further
use for ploughs or cultivators, give
them a good coat of Gnseed oil This
forms covering that is impervious to
moisture, and the tool is as bright in
the spring as when laid away in the
fall.

spruee for Hedges.

A correspondent of the Canada
Farmer thinks the spruce best adapted
for hedges. He objects to the thorn,
on account of its ''toppy" inclination,
causing it to be thin at the bottom, and
because all domestic animals feed
greedily on the thorn shoots; besides,
early in the year the hedge looks thin
until the leaves come out He, there
fore, has, abandoned the thorn and
adopted the spruce for hedges. He
says: "This tree, if planted two feet
apart, comes up to my idea of what a
good hedge ought to be it readily con-
forms to the shape required, VIZ, the
triangular it looks tremendously
strong; no animal eats it, and it is
handsomer in winter than summer, be-
sides growing quicker. 1 know of no
insect which destroys the spruce frs.

the pure bred Angora bucks with the ma
tive or common females now deep enough
in the blood to produce wool long
enough to be shorn and manufactured.

Gently received the account of sale of
my goats wool at 85 cents per pound.
To produce this wool cost me no more
per pound than to produce the wool of
my "improved Kentucky" sheep, and
yet 81 cents per poun1 was the best
offer 1 could get for my sleeps wool in
Kentucky. Both the goats wool and
the sleeps wool were shorn and
handled alike, and one produced S5
cents and the other 81 cents per pound.
