AGRICULTURAL.

"THE YoCSG Man AND THE FAnx' -
The following cxtrac, from u recen, ad-
dress by Prof. Wickson. of Utica, il note
worthy: With the advance of farming ~.
a science will come better opinion Of the
farmers position among men. Every year
intelligence and true success nre winning
widor recognition in social circles. Among
old opinions which must vanish is the pop
uar view that farmer is outside tue line Of
social and political adyancement. This op-
inion. although it has been widely held,
has always been fal!ncy, mistake Of mar
row mind. The Young men are blinded by
it. They have left farms because this cross-
eyed view Of life has been forced upon them
By foolish people. They have been persuaded
that descrtion Of the farm was on entrance
to glory. How great an error this has been.
All history gives the lie to such belief. A
man upon farm is not 'out Of the world
Us some would think How far an occasion
can reach to grasp its hero, do not know.
But believe that when the saving Of his
country demanded the strong arm Of Gin
cnnatus, he was just as near, when behind
his plow, as though graduated farmer he
had been sporting purpled robes in the TO-
rum. And believe that when the old Con-
tincntas Of New England called Their leader,
Putnam heard their call just as distinctly
upon his farm as though he hard been serv-
ing for twenty years behind counter in
Hartford do not believe TINT man is
buried upon iars.' 1t seems to me NIL
history teaches rs that TIE promptings to
duty and the call to greatness are no louder
in crowded thorou slfarcs than in country
hncs fringcd with d,T,c~.
The young man and the farm ; on the one
hand n duty, on the other an opportunity?
here an Obligation. there n way to discharge
it. And in thinking Of the duty OF the
youn. man, i, it not encouraging that he
need not leave the industry where he finds
it, and that he himself, aS he fits himself for
n better farmer, becomes aEo'n better man );
This the labor, thi, the reward. The better
the man the more noble his calling. The
young men can make agriculture what they
will it offers full returns For their best ef-
forts. The country needs better men, and
the best men will he honorcd III its service
The best man in the end will win, and he
will reach the reward for his cxcelencc-it
matters not whether, departing , he puts up
the bars behind him, or whether he come
from marble doorstep. The youth may be-
come q man upon Il farm if he will. lie can
not do more elsewhere.

NEW YORK, May S.-Yesterday morning The
tug Nav Queen tewed the schooner Ruth Hal
sey Of New London to the NewBrighIon, Sta
len, Island, wharf, and the captain patiently
waited for some one TO pay him for hisservices.
lie says he received n note giving the scho0-
ner's name and directing him to take her from
Pier D, HObOken,. to New Brighton
The note added that n person would there
pay him for the tow. When he went to Pier
i he found the schooner as described, but nu
one was in her, SO he took her to New Bright
on. There he waited hour after hour, but no
one had any knowledge of the vessel or her
owner. After Il long delay lie told the au-
thorities and with officers boarded The schoon
er. The cabin was in confusion. Fragment
OF bottles and crOkery were on the floor. The
walls floor and stairway were besmeared WIN
blood, and there were evidence of a fight. On
the cabin floor was n blue shirt, which was
stained with blood, and hole was cut through
As though the person who wore 1t had been
stabbed
The authorities put the vessel in the hands
of coroner Dempsey and Mr., John Wiloe
and two policemen were detailed to guard her.
Hundreds of persons visited the wharf, and
there was much excitement. The belief o:
those who examined the cabin Is that there
has been foul play.
