THE BOARD OF HEALTH MATTER.
Another Phase In the Controversy 10
the Presidency.


It was believed that the controversy
about the Presidency OF the Board Of
Health was at an end. since 1t had been
agreed by the contestants that they
would abide by the decision Of Judge
Lynch, and would not appeal therefrom.
But COL Field, in his capacity OF Attor-
ney General, yesterday moved an appeal
to the Supreme Court, returnable at
Opelousas on the 10th OF June inst.
The ground on which the motion Is
based Ii, that the State Is aggrieved by
the judgment, and the argument will
be that the contestants had no right to
agree not to appeal to the exclusion OF
the State. 8#E
The motion was presented by his as
sistant, Dibble, Col. Field being Ill.

THE SUPERIOR DIsTRICT CoUxr.


ue ePrOmuignteu Until tire lst Of July.
Although IL Is beyond question now
that Kellogg has signed the bin abolish
ing the Superior District Court, which
was passed at the last session Of the
Legislature, It is generally understood
thht the bill will not be promulgated
until the LIST OF July next. This respite
is, In all probability, granted In order to
avoid the confusion which might result
from an abrupt closing Of the court,
which has q great deal OF unfinished
business before it.
Later information obtained from
Judge Cotton Is to the effect that Kel-
logg did show him q bill purporting to
be the bill abolishing this Court, with
his signature attached to It, but not
dated. The supposition that Kellogg
will await bis convenience to afIix the
date ID probably correct.

Although he does not say SO publicly
himself, it Is understood that Kellogg
will leave this afternoon for Cincinnati,
to lend his weighty influence TO Blaine.

Agricultural Society
Sept -, 4s76.
BY W. NJ. TIRTLoT, ESQ,

officers, Members am .triendS Of the
SnohOmih County agricultural Society.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
regret that cannot come before you,
as did all my predecessors, with the rec
ord and experience Of farmers son,
or even at present engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits.
My Father was mechanic; and il l
should attempt to give you instructions
in farming, 1t would in all probability
be about as useful as Mark Twain's ed
itorials in an agricultural journal, where
in he says that, "turnips should always
be picked, and never shaken down from
the trees" But, however my wife was
o farmers daughter and SHE and being
declared one by law, 1 may address
you on her knowledge OF this industry.
The beneficial iesults which always
follow an exhibition like this, are so nu-
merous and varied that I can only
glance at few in the brief space of
time, which l may occupy your at.
tention.
Standing as we do upon the threshold
Of a new century in our national exist
ence, it is but natural that we should
look back and compare the past with
the present; from this standpoint his.
tory fails to record more rapid pro-
gress in oil the industries Of man, than
that attained in the science of agricnl-
ture and the mechanic arts within the
last fifty years.
Although in the primitive age, the
tilling of the soil was the first occupa-
tion Of man, and through all the subse-
Quent years it has been the first tangible
proofs of the wild and savage tribes
turning to civilized life yet at the com.
mencemeut of the last century, agricul-
ture as q science was in its infancy.
There was no general means of acauir-
ihg and diffusing knowledge In this
most important branch of industry.
Generation after generation have come
and gone, each following closely the
footsteps of their predecessors without
developing any new results, or inyesti-
eating the principles underlying and
governing the vast field of this science,
the margin of which they had only
touched.
But when the products OF the soil,
and the result Of inventive genius began
