improved Stock.

We are indebted to an attentive correspon-
dent for information concerning the blooded
stock of Mr.. John E. Lewis, of Oconee County,
who is devoting much of his attention to i'm
proved breeds of cattle. Mr.. Lewis recently
brought portion of his stock to Pendleton for
exhibition, and had them weighed, as follows:
Durham Bull, Nelson Duke, raised by VIM.
T.. Waddy, shelbyyille, KY, Is months old,
weight 1885 lbs
Heifer, seven-eights AYRSHIRE and one-eighth
Devon, 20 months old, weight 1888 lbs
Calf, three-fourths Ayreshire and one-fourth
Durham, 81 months old, weight 4So lbs.
The heifer was on exhibition at our Fair last
fall, and Mr.. Lewis expects to be on hand again
this fall. In this connection, We would direct
attention to an article from N1r. Lewis upon
short-horn cattle, transferred to our columns
from the Keowse Courier, which contains a vast
amount of information and shows a thorough
acquaintance with the subject discussed.

4 Deserved Compliment.

We have been very much gratifed at the
fact, which is published officially in the North
ern papers, that Professor John McCrady,
formerly of the College of Charleston, has
been elected Professor of Zoology at Harvard
University, to succeed the late Professor Agas-
siz. This is great compliment, and we are
glad to know not an undeserved one to Profes-
sor McCrady; and we are equally pleased to
recognize the liberal spirit which has induced
this famous University to elect South Caro-
Mnian to fill a position SO important in ITSELF
and which has derived so large reputation
from the character of the great naturalist who
recently occupied it. Prof McCrady will do
honor to the judgment and discrimination
which has elevated him to this distinguished
position, we feel assured, and thereby reflect
credit upon his native State.
