The Agricultural College.


Hon. Abner Coburn, President of the board
of Trustees of the State College of Agricul-
ture and the Mechanic Arts, has submitted
his annual report to the legislature. 1t has
been shown that the bold policy Of establish
ing an independent college best meets the re-
quirements of those who are to be educated
for the active pursuits of life. The training
provided in this college is just what is needed
for practical men who are to engage in the
industrial callings. The farm, though re-
curing some outlay to bring it to high state
of culture, is valuable, and affords good OPP
portunites for experiments in the different
methods of cultivation. The college now en-
tiers upon the fourth year of its existence with
the too sanguine expectations Of its ardent
friends sobered down to just requirement,
the mistrust of those who had no confidence
in its plans giving way, and the Indifference
of the great mass of the community removed.
The buildings commenced last year have
been completed, and there are now accommo-
dations for 1875 students. In the revision of
the course of study, provision has been made
for four full courses, viz; course in Agri-
culture. in Civil Engineering, in Mechanical
Engineering, and an Elective Course. A
special course is also provided for students
not wishing to take the whole amount of
studies required for graduation, by allowing
them to select from the studies of any term
such branches as they desire, provided they
are qualified to pursue these studies success
fully. Rev. c. F. Allen, A. NJ, a graduate
Of Bowdoin College, and a ripe scholar, is
President of the institution, and has charge
of the department of English Literature and
Mental science; Prof. M. C. Fernald, AM, 10

X. L. Packard, A. NJ, Professor of Chemis-

]. r. Harrington of Brewer was elected to
his place, and entered upon his duties in
April. In the completion of the buildings,
the purchase of furniture and apr aratus for
the different departments, and in meeting the
current expenses of the college, debt OF
thirteen thousand dollars has been incurred
The Trustees regretted the creation of this
debt; but the alternative was forced upon
them to suffer The college to struggle along in

usefulness, and no prospect of fulfilling the

DEAR JOURNAL Things are moving along
in healthy manner in our city; nothing exc
citing, but everybody appears to be busy.
Our streets have presented an uncommon
lively appearance this winter, probably more
SO than for some years past. Business seems
to be on a steady increase, improvements are
constantly going on, and our traders wear
smiling countenances, which are indicative of
ease in financial matters. In fact 1 know
from personal experience that business has
not been so good for many years in our city,
and our leading citizens are awake to the bus
mess prosperity of the place; and with a con.
tinuance oS the present efficient management
of the affairs of the city, see no reason why
Hallowell will not take her place among the
leading manufacturing cities in the State.
In this connection ought to speak of the
buildings that have been erected the past year,
as the city farm at a cost of some $4,000, to
just sheltered the unfortunate in our midst,
and much credit is due the committee who
have the matter in charge. We can all feel
that those of our citizens who in
want will be comfortably provided for during
the remainder of life.
Our city has suffered severely in the past
from confagration; but at the present time
we have an efficient fire department, who are
on hand at moments warning, and for the
past few years we have escaped any consd-
cradle loss by fire. We have nice engine
house which contains two good fire engines
in good order. In the second story are two
halls for the use of the companies.
There are other matters of interest to our
citizens that have not time nor space to
speak Of at this time, but will hereafter.
Quite early this morning. before many
teams were on the street, horse attached to
Mr.. II. d. Pinkham's traverse pung became
frightened at the dummy train that was just
crossing at the north end of Water street, and
ran down the street. When about opposite
Central street, a man threw large basket
which struck the horse, when he SHE'D, throw
ing the pung from the forward runners and
scattering meat and baskets in confusion, and
smashing the pung considerably. The horse
kept ON with the forward runners till he
brought up at Mr.. Pinkham's shop, and
stopped as any orderly horse would be likely
to do. ,.
